Hi,

I want some pushbuttons in the main windows of my application. I did a test with the XDEMO.PRG source.

I added the following code in xdemo.prg on line 190.

Code: Select all

@ 50,50 dcpushbutton ;
		Size 150,150 ;
		Parent oDialog ;
		Caption "TESTING" ;
		ACTION {|o| msgbox("I'm clicked") } pixel

This shows the button in the screen.

When I select an option in the menu, the button stays there as you can see below.

How can I prevent this?

Try this:

Code: Select all

@ 50,50 dcpushbutton ;
      Size 150,150 ;
      Parent oDialog:drawingArea  ;  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
      Caption "TESTING" ;
      ACTION {|o| msgbox("I'm clicked") } pixel

Hi Roger,

I just tested your suggestion, but it doesn't work.

Error BASE/2266
Description : Receiver of message is not an object.
Operation : drawingArea
Thread ID : 1

I'm trying to create some kind of dashboard in the main screen.

Any other suggestion?

Sorry Chris. I didn't look closely at what you were doing.

I put the same code in my XDEMO.PRG and see the problem.

Remove the "PARENT oDialog" from the DCPUSHBUTTON command.

Hi Roger,

That works. I tried a lot of things, but I didn't remove the parent clause.
