Hi,

You need to call the element.closeOk method on the clicked method of the ok button from bank details form.

To close the 1st form you need to get the caller object and call close method.

public void clicked() { super(); element.close(); FormRun objectForm = element.args().caller(); objectForm.close(); }

Thanks,

Girish S.

objectForm is the buffer for FormRun class - You are getting the caller object which is FormRun in your case.

Caller object is nothing but first form you have opened which called the second form which is bank details form.

No, the current form is 'element'.

element.args() returns arguments that the the form was called with, and element.args().caller() returns the form that the current form was opened from.

It would be clearer if the variable had a more descriptive name, such as callerForm.

Try debugging the code and find out what went wrong and check whether you are getting the caller object.

Also can you tell me how you are calling the second form from first form? Can you show us the code?

Generally, the caller object will be assigned in the init method of the form.

Below code is the standard way of doing.

Public class FormName extends FormRun { //declare variable globally. FormRun callerForm; public void init() { callerForm = element.args().caller(); } [Control("Button")] Class Ok { public void clicked() { element.close(); callerForm.close(); } } }

Thanks,

You need to pass the caller object which is formRun also.

Try passing along with caller object and check. Try calling the form via code like below.

Before changing the code please debug the code and check whether you are getting a caller object.

Args args; FormRun formRun; Args = new Args(formStr(FormName)); args.caller(element); formRun = New FormRun(Args); formRun.init(); formRun.run(); formRun.wait();

Thanks,

No that's not possible. You need to get the caller object of form2, and then only you will be able to perform further operations.

Thanks,
