In the click event of the close button on "frmMyFormClass" place

thisform.visible = .f.

At this point the code will continue in the calling form and you can dispose of oForm

Local oForms as form
oForm=newobject('frmMyFormClass','myClassLibrary.vcx')
oForm.Show(1)
* oForm is modal at this point
* User clicked Close button which caused "frmMyFormClass" to loose focus
* Control resumes here when oform looses focus by being made invisible
oForm = .null.  && Force oform destroy
release loform  && release oForm

>Why won't this form release?
>
>Have a form class in a vcx with a close button with 'release thisform' or 'thisform.release()' in the click method.
>
>In another form have a button with this in the click method:
>

>local oForm
>oForm=newobject('frmMyFormClass','myClassLibrary.vcx')
>oForm.show(1)

>Clicking on the close button on the myFormClass form does not release the form! I have to click on the 'X' in the titlebar to close the form. Why is that? If this is unstandard code, how would I lauch a form that exists only as a class?
