2.8 Form Object

Description:

Form objects define the windows of PowerCOBOL applications. They are the containers in which you place controls. They define default properties, support window-related methods and receive window-directed events.

Notes:

You close forms using the CloseForm or Deactivate method. Do not invoke other methods after invoking these methods.
