Open a second form/window

[Pascaluvr]

Sorry, newbie to lazarus here.

I have managed to run a basic program, but now, on the click of a button I want to open a second (modal) window.  Help would be appreciated'

Thanks in advance

First, you must add the Second Form unit to the Calling unit 'Uses' statement. Then add 'Form2.ShowModal;' to the button OnClick event.

Example:

Form1 is Unit1 and Form2 is Unit2
Add Unit2 to the 'Uses' statement of Unit1

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Form2.ShowModal;
end;

Great... thanks Avishai.  I looked everywhere to find how to do that... so simple when you know:)

Thanks again.

Almost everything is simple once you know how   It's finding out how that is hard.
