Hi,

Im working on an application using "inline windows" that generates several instances of the same form. I want to print the contents of a grid in the foremost form when the user clicks a button on the main form. Is it possible to get a reference to the foremost form so I can know which grid to print?

Thanks

 Ryan,

Thanks for your reply.

My first tought was doing what you said, but It seems that when the user alternates among the forms no server event is triggered, sou I couldnt find an event to set the LastActiveForm. Tried click,enter,activated and gotfocus without success...

DO you know if there is another event I could use?

Thanks.

Hello,

What I can think of that would be relevant in this case is to create a custom Form of your own that would derive from the Gizmox.WebGui.Forms.Form.
This new Form would send a notice to the server-side, when the Form gets focus in client-side. At server-side this would change the ActiveForm to the newly focused Form.

BTW, I think the implementation of the ActiveForm should be a linked-list structure and not a single reference to a Form. The reason for that is that if the top Form is closed, you need the Form that was active before it to be printed (if it is still alive), etc.
I also think you should save this linked-list structure on the Context objext and not on the MainForm. It is generally a more logical place to hold it and it will give you more felxibility.

Please reply if you need any help with these implementations or need any additional information on this subject.
