Login screen

[Markus Humm]

Hello,

I'm new to CF and .NET programming.
In my application I build in a login screen recently. This one is the
form which is created by Application.Run. After succesfully proofing the
password I create a new form (.create) and show it modal. Now I can see
2 entries in Settings/Memory/Running applications. If I do the same from
within the other opened form I see three entries there.

How to avoid that?

Greetings

Markus

"Running Programs" enumerates all top level windows and shows their
captions. To remove your duplicates eitehr set the hidden Form's caption to
"" or destroy the Form.

If you are using CF v2.0, see this and the links it points to:

....also consider not having your login form as your main form. Have you real
main form as your main form, and the login form a secondary form or even a
panel that the main form shows... Its lifetime doesn't justify keeping it
around for the duration of your app's lifecycle.

Cheers
Daniel
