open wnd from main wnd

[toothyXdip]

ok i want to know is there a way to have a main window open (dummy) and from that have a button/menu that you can click/goto and it will open another window (dummy) and in that one have lables and all the other stuff.

I tryed but it opened the secondary window not the main window...i want to go from the main TO the secondary not start off with the secondary.

can i do that? cause i dont want to have to use msgbox's all the time for my program

so pretty much i want to open one window from anther window

(i still need help with #1)

Try this. This might help you get on your way. It's not perfect but it may give you ideas on how to expand it to do what you want. As it is, this code will open another GUI/Window that will perform other functions. However while the 2nd window is open you cannot do anything on the main window until you finish and close the 2nd window. Like I said its not perfect but I've never been able to do things with multiple windows in the same script. You usually have to close the child windows first. If anyone has a better method by all means post it.
