Hi ravi vitili ,

OPEN_FORM once only

WRITE_FORM pass main window and its text element

WRITE_FORM pass secondarywindow1 and its text element

WRITE_FORM pass secondarywindow2 and its text element

WRITE_FORM pass secondarywindow3 and its text element

WRITE_FORM pass secondarywindow4 and its text element

CLOSE_FORM once only

Note:

calling START_FORM is not needed here...

Hope it will solve your problem

Thanks & Regards

Hi ravi vitili,

There can be more than one text element in Main Widow.

But in secondary window only 1 text element can be Added.

So u need to call main window three times... with three diff textelements..

Hope it will solve your problem...

Thanks & Regards

Hi Ilesh,

When exactly is START_FORM Needed ?

[Former Member]

hi,

call function 'OPEN_FORM' for 1 time

call function 'START_FROM' for 1 time

call function 'WRITE_FORM' for 1 time is enough and if

required u can call it again

call function 'END_FROM' for 1 time

call function 'CLOSE_FORM' for 1 time

regards

pritam.

Well, it would depend. How many pages to do you have? If one page, then you can call OPEN_FORM once, and START_FORM would not be required. The amount of WRITE_FORMs calls would depend on how many elements you have defined, if your script is not based on elements in your MAIN window, then you would only need to call the WRITE_FORM once.
