Control of Screen v9

[tanilba]

I'm relatively new to Progress v9.
I've been working on a set of programs where the first program doessome processing then we run another program to do some moreprocessing...sometimes we go down to yet another program..again usingrun programname.w

The problem is ...how do we stop people who are working in (say)program 3 from leaving it open and going back to work in program 1,rather than having them exit each program to the previous one?

Thanks

As in all Windows applications, you can acomplish that by (forinstance)using dialog boxes instead of windows - not saying that thatis the bestapproach though. But, in general, dialog-boxes prevent youfrom workingin another window or dialog (within the same application)until thetop-most dialog-box is closed.

Why are you executing numerous container sources? Progress is 4GL event driven, simply restructure so you execut different procedures. Instead of having internal procedures in different .w (container sources), execute a different procedure.
