Until recently, I would always start with a menu strip and just add an entry per form, code the same form launch stuff in every handler, and so forth. Easy but repetitive.</P><P>With SF's idea of a gateway form, there is no need to do this anymore. I simply perform the attached walkthrough once and then it's easy. It would be handy to have some of this baked into the framework in a future version (e.g. a 'SF GenericGatewayForm'template with appropriate logic in the default Program.cs, etc.), but for now I just do some copy and paste on a new project and it saves me time during the initial development iterations.</P><P>My apologies for the formatting on the &#100;ocument...this was a slap-it-together at 3:00AM type thing. Hope it's just a little useful...Fri, 20 Oct 2006 22:01:52 GMTChris Crabtreehttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost3740.aspxWow!&nbsp; Thanks for the article...it looks great.&nbsp; Probably one thing you could do here is create a template...this way is is just another form type and all of the code that you need would already be in place.&nbsp; So that may be an idea for the future....thanks again!Fri, 20 Oct 2006 22:01:52 GMTTrent L.
