 How to: Return a Value from a Form

You can use forms throughout your application to allow users to specify a value.

To return a value from a form

  1. Set the WindowType Property of the form to 1 to make the form modal.

  2. In the code associated with the Unload event of the form, include a RETURN Command with the return value.

  3. In the program or method that runs the form, include the TO keyword in the DO FORM Command.

    For example, if FindCustID is a modal form that returns a character value, the following line of code stores the return value to a variable named cCustID:

     CopyCode imageCopy Code
    DO FORM FindCustID TO cCustID

For more information, see RETURN Command and DO FORM Command.

NoteNote

If you get an error, make sure the WindowType is set to 1 (Modal).
