However, there have been some very good posts on how to have a single entry point for the opening of all your forms. See these posts:<br> <br> [url]http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost9345.aspx[/url]<br> <br> [url]http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost12894.aspx[/url]<br> <br> [url]http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost11445.aspx[/url]<br> <br> And search the forum for "open form".<br> <br> I've been struggling with this for a while and I think the problem is that opening forms is so open ended, both in how you could create them and how you could initiate the opening of them. To create forms, you can have constructors on your forms, that require parameters, you can require factory methods to make the form or you can use both and you can have a myriad of properties that could need to be set. To open forms, you can open them via buttons, labels, linked labels, toolstrip items, combo boxes, list boxes, mouse hovers...the list is endless. So what would the navigation "template" look like, within a generic framework? On the other hand every app likely does have its way of doing things, and there could eventually be a set of common styles used, I'm guessing. I'd be interested in hearing what the SF perspective on this is.Sun, 16 Dec 2007 12:05:14 GMTGreg McGuffey
