Reply to: Customization object? How can I use a form?
April 25, 2019 at 9:52 pmThe topic “Associate a form with a customization object” is what I'm referring to. I don't see anywhere a description of how to create a customization object. If a CTM file is a customization object, visual studio tells me I can't add a CTM file to an XMetaL application solution.
The samples seem to be tied to a DTD, I am not doing anything related to a DTD and don't want to bind a form to an element in the XML document being edited. I am so far not getting how a form is associated with program logic by looking at the samples.
The documentation for Application.CreateFormDlg shows DoModal() being called on the object returned. Aside from not wanting a modal dialog box, what object is returned? How do I access the value of forms set in the dialog box after it's been dismissed?
