I have a front-end form with no blocks or items and have attached my master menu module to it. This form exists only to display the applicationĀ“s main menu. Items on the main menu then invoke individual form modules that perform specific application functions. This form has one window WINDOW0 with the following properties :

Closeable : False
Fixed size : True
Iconfiable : False
Inherit Menu : True
Moveable : False
Zoomable : False

[Quoted] In When-New Form-Instance I maximize both windows : MDI and WINDOW0 which has the desired effect of hiding WINDOW0 so that the only thing the user sees is the menu.

To invoke a form from the Master Menu I use the following command :

Call_Form('form_name', HIDE, DO_REPLACE);

However, before the form is called successfully, WINDOW0 is first resized in the front-end form to fill the screen starting from position (0,0). The effect is that on selecting a menu option, the front-end form appears to shake before arriving at the destination form.

What we want is a seamless movement between the forms.

Id be grateful for any thoughts on this one,

Cheers,

Pete Cardin
