application.showFormInDialog

Classic Servoy

jcompagner:
that is impossible we always start modal.
The dialog keeps staying?
you can access the main and the dialog form at once?
Can you upgrade to 2.1?

I too ran into a situation where the FID window wasn’t modal and allowed me to do things in the window behind it!

I narrowed the cause of the problem down to a find() I was performing on the FID window as - it seemed to throw it out of modal mode - when I commented out the find it worked fine.

I guess I will have to build the find form into the header or as a tabpanel of my search result listing form.

As a workaround to avoid the ‘find’ you could try using
databasemanager.getDataSetByQuery()

It seems to work fine.

Yeah, thats a good idea, for now I just decided to show listing first, then opened the FID.

Thanks
