GOAL:
How to launch a modal ABL Dialog
GOAL:
How to launch a .NET Dialog
GOAL:
How to call a .NET Dialog from an ABL application in a modal fashion
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
OpenEdge 10.2x
FIX:
The ABL Dialog you create when using the Visual Designer is simply a Progress.Windows.Form object and can be launched non-modally, using the Show() method, however if one wished to ensure that the dialog is Modal when it is displayed the following syntax should be used:
WAIT-FOR <obj_ref>:ShowDialog([obj_ref_parent]).
The optional parameter ([obj_ref_parent]) mentioned in the example above will parent the dialog to another form and, when displayed, center it on that form.
