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
