Form Problem

Skill85
Skill85 over 13 years ago

Hi, I have a problem with forms. I made a skill that you have to select an instance to work. It works fine until that. But when you select another instance (or again the same) and you apply my script I recieve the following message from the CIW:

*WARNING* hiDeleteForm: Cannot delete a form that is mapped or from within the form's callback (trtheForm)
WARNING* hiCreateForm: Could not delete already created form trtheForm

trtheForm is my forms name.

Any idea???

Thanks!!

    You cannot call a command like hiCreateAppForm while your form is open. It sounds like your code is trying to recreate your form every time you call it. Rather than recreating the form every time, you should simply create the form once and store off the form id in a global variable. Then subsequent calls to the program can call hiDisplayForm(). If there is some dynamic nature to this form such that it needs to be recreated every time with different information on it, then you can use commands like:

    hiIsFormDisplayed
    hiFormCancel
