B4J Question How to add a new form (Newbie)

Just create a new Form variable, initialize it, load a layout and then show it:
If you take a look at the template code in a UI app, all those steps are performed with MainForm, with the exception of initialization, in Process_Globals() and AppStart().

You can create the newFormLayout with the Designer. The above code can appear in your Main module; no need to create a new module for it as in B4A and Activities. You can, if you want, make a Form a member of a class (click Project>Add New Module>Class Module), but that isn't necessary. I would recommend putting newForm's event subs and MainForm's event subs in separate regions for purposes of code readability:

but again, it's not necessary.

Use Regions! .


Just two things:

1) you can set the owner of new forms (NewForm.SetOwner) and the new form is shown above the Main form.
2) you can declare the new form as Public and I don't know if you can have some advantages
