Hi,
How do I change a window's type from modal to non-modal (modeless) and vice-versa? How do I do this in wlang and the IDE. Is there a property setting that can be changed in code?
I'd like to pass a parameter such as IsModal=true to the Open() function and let the form (window) set it's modal type property to true, or false if ISModal=false.
Thanks,
Stanley |

Hello Stanley
Would OpenChild() or OpenSister achieve what you need for the window ?
They could be used as conditional opening statements in your code.
As far as the IDE is concerned there is an option is the details tab to set a window as Free, MDI or MDI Child

I do not know as this is really not a Child or Sister window. It is simply a window that I'd like to open more than once and not stop all other windows from opening and closing.

I saw that, but mine is set to free and when run it is acting as if it is modal. I'm calling it from a menu window with a simple Open(WIN_Calculations) and as long as the WIN_Calculations window is open, all other menu items on the menu window cannot be run. It beeps when clicking anything on the menu window. If I close the WIN_Calculations window, then the menu window and menu items are clickable.
Another related question...
If I created a Child window and later decided that it should be a free or Sister or mdi or an internal window, is there a property that would immediately change it, or do I have to completely create a new window of the type desired? (I hope its a property setting)
I'm actually working thru the Tutorial_WinDev.pdf page 54 when running into this question...
Thanks, Stanley |

Hi Stanley,
there is no such thing as a MODAL window in the editor stage...
Modal or NON modal is decided by the function you use to open it:
- Open = MODAL
- OpenChild or OpenSister = NON modal
that's all
So all you need to do is either use Open or OpenChild and you'll get what you described
Best regards |

Hi Darren and Fabrice,

Darren
Not sure if you've delved into the online help
Yes I did after sending my last reply where Al mentioned Sister and Child windows which I was intentionally overlooking because my window is a free window and not part of any mdi setup.
After playing with it a bit, Fabrice is spot on... it works as expected with child, even though I would not consider it as a child window in the sense that it's part of a mdi setup.
So does this free, and mdi windows stuff mean anything unique or is for terminology? I ask, because in my case where I have a window defined as "free" and I am changing its modality behavior based on the command that calls it.
Thanks, Stanley |

Hi Stanley,
you are mixing things that are completely different.
MDI is an OLD M$ technology allowing to open windows INSIDE a mother window...
Even M$ has abandoned that technique, but the option is still in Windev because some of us were and are still using it.
Now, for everybody NOT doing MDI, we are using FREE windows (ie they do not open INSIDE another one)...
And these free windows are EITHER modal or not depending on HOW we open them
Best regards |
