I am doing a little testing of calling an .APP program from .EXE (I am trying to break my application into several .APP programs so that the .EXE size would be reduced).
1. I create a small project that consisted of just one Form. Compiled it into test.app program. When I call this test.app from my "main" exe the form appears on the top of the existing application without affecting the existing application. When I close the form of test.app all goes back to normal, no changes to the main application. I like how it worked.
2. I created a small project that consisted of one .prg and one class library with a form class. The test.prg instantiates the form class and .shows() it. When I call this test.app program, it closes the form currently opened in the calling program (in .exe program). The form of test.app then appears. But I didn't like that the test.app closed the currently opened form.
My question is, what should I do in the main .prg program of the test.app to prevent it from closing forms of the calling program?
Thank you.
