I'm trying to load a layout with the push of a button.

The layout loads here as expected in GUI_APP_MAIN.
GUI_APP_MAIN
{
	Form1().Run();   // ***** Displays Form 1 perfectly ****
	//Form2Dlg().Run();  // ***** Displays Form 2 perfectly **** <<- Push button control
}


But I can't get the Button coding syntax working. Haven't found THISBACK instructions or example syntax.

Here is my full .CPP code:
#include "Form1.h"

//****** Pasted struct code here, from code generator **********
struct Form2Dlg : WithForm2Layout<TopWindow> {
	typedef Form2Dlg CLASSNAME;
	Form2Dlg();
};

Form2Dlg::Form2Dlg()
{
	CtrlLayout(*this, "Form 2");
}
//------------------------

Form1::Form1()
{
	CtrlLayout(*this, "Form 1");
}
//-----------------
class Form1Dlg : public WithForm1Layout<TopWindow> {
	typedef Form1Dlg CLASSNAME;

	void Btnform2();

public:
	Form1Dlg();
};

Form1Dlg::Form1Dlg()
{
	CtrlLayout(*this, "Form 1");

	btnForm2 <<= THISBACK(Btnform2); // Pushing button to invoke Btnform2 function
}

void Form1Dlg::Btnform2() // Display Form 2 function
{
	Form2Dlg().Run();
}

GUI_APP_MAIN
{
	Form1().Run();   // ***** Displays Form 1 perfectly ****
	//Form2Dlg().Run();  // ***** Displays Form 2 perfectly ****
}


Any guidance appreciated

Hello Edward,

You should create instance of "Form1Dlg" and run it instead of "Form1":
GUI_APP_MAIN
{
	Form1Dlg().Run();   // ***** Displays Form 1 perfectly ****
	//Form2Dlg().Run();  // ***** Displays Form 2 perfectly ****
}


It seems you have unnecessary class "Form1". In this class you didin't define any implementation of "btnForm2" action. So, for me it seems that this is school mistake Wink

Sincerely,
Klugier

That was it, I had a Form1 Class in the header file, without a reference to the button.
Eliminated the Form1Dlg class.

Thanks

Its been 30 years since school... Sad
