    Posted: January 23 2004 at 3:37am
One has a AccuTerm 2K2 GUI form open. A command button on it states "Run Other App". User presses the command button, and the code behind wants to open a different GUI app -- not a subroutined/component/whatever of the that has been written at a separate time (yes, an AccuTerm 2k2 GUI app however).

How can one call the new app to load, execute, and upon closing, return attention to the original GUI, without disturbing the original GUI form/app (global variables, etc.)?

Possible?

Try calling ATGUISUSPEND, which will hide the current app, then EXECUTE "RUN GUIBP ...." to run the new app. When the EXECUTE statement returns, call ATGUIRESUME to restore the previous app.

Thanks,

Peter

Just a quick follow-up question would that cause the GUI environment to restart? In other words would the GUI Server still be running when control is transferred to the second GUI program?

The reason why I bring up this point is the associated client overhead of restarting the GUI environment.

Thanks,
