Locked out of my solution.

previously posted under General category:

I just loaded R2.0 Beta4 and cannot close a splash screen in a dialog that I used to be able to close on R1.2 Final. The splash screen is displayed from a method set in Solution Settings. Since I can't close the splash screen, I can't get into the Design mode to change the startup solution settings.
To make matters worse, I can't go back to to Release 1.2 ( in my excitement to try out all the cool features in the new beta, I forgot to make a backup of the Servoy folder ), when I try to open the solution under R1.2 Servoy cant find any solutions in the repository because the repository is a newer level than Servoy.

What changed in the beta so that a screen shown in a dialog cannot be closed? Can the Solution settings be some how overridden?

I had a comparable issue with r1.2, at least I had to click the closbox twice.

I solved the issue by opening the splashscreen from a form.method attached to the onLoad event of the first form...

That solved my issue at least. Maybe it works for you too?

Thanks for the advice, but no, that doesn't work. The splash screen stubbornly stays on top, and since it is displayed as a dialog, I can't do anything about it. In fact, I can't even close Developer! I need to abort the application from Windows Task Manager.
Perhaps what is needed is some kind of key sequence that, when held down while the solution is loading, will override any methods that are fired from the solution settings "On Open" method- at least in Developer.
But untill or unless that is implemented - I can't work on my solution! Can anyone from Servoy help me - Please!
