Re: Multiple Forms Application

I want something as a MDI application. So I want the very first time I launch the application, a main window shown (as the Forms Runtime window) with a custom meniu so I can choose options and launch other forms.

I did make a form with 1 window, 1 canvas, 1 menu attached to it and nothing else (as the documentation recommends), but this way the form didn't last more than a second.
Then I did add a block and and exit button but I don't want to show any form first time the application run, just the menu and the main MDI window. So this approach doesn't suit my needs.
Then I tried to make all invisible, but this didn't work either. The form didn't last more then a sec.

What else? Can you guys give me some directions.

Thanks for your time.
