wxdialog() and dataform

[JD Kromkowski]

Perhaps, I have missed something in the documentation. Can a wxdialog contain a dataform1? If not why not; if so, what might I be doing wrong. (I was simply substituting the wxdialog as the “window” instead of wxwindow which worked fine.)

I think it might have come down to fact that I didn't create the wxdialog
as invisible first.

It seems to be working now.

Sure, why not?

It should work okay.

Upon further reflection, that was not the only problem for it not working.

I also tried to use df.height and df.width to set the innerwidth and
innerheight.

But while a wxformvar.height and wxformvar.width are valid; interestingly
I don't see a valid analog dataform1var.height and dataform1var.width

You have to drill pretty far down to get at that in a dataform1

f.controls.head.key.page.wxformpage.width
or
f.pages.head.key.wxformpage.width

in either case its pretty far down the line. I suppose something like this:

f.page[n].width

where n=page number

would be too simple?

You do need to create the dialog invisible first if you want to show it
modally. Otherwise it will be a non-modal dialog.

You can use f.currentpage.wxformpage.width. I may make the wxformpage
resolve, so you can do: f.currentpage.width.
