I just created a brand new app in EWB2 B2 which consists of 5 forms.  When I run the app, all 5 forms show at the same time in the order they are created.  So Form 1 appears, then Form 2 appears on top of it, then Form 3 appears on top of Form 2, and so on. Basically they're stacked on top of each other.

Is anyone else experiencing this?  I tried uninstalling EWB and then reinstalling but it still behaves the same.

Yes, the same here, but no problem.
While EWB1 sets all additional forms Visible=false, in EWB2 they are by default Visible=true.
You have just to change that and do a form.show or form.visible=true at runtime.

Hi Doc,

Are you saying I have to change the Interface?

I tried hiding all of the forms and run-time, except the main form.  When I click on a button one the main form to show another screen, it just goes blank and nothing is displayed.

frmMain.Hide;
frmLogin.Show;

I was experiencing this before with EWB2 so I'm wondering what has changed since the Preview version that makes it behave like this.

I really should wake up first before typing.

This should have read:

"I tried hiding all of the forms and run-time, except the main form.  When I click on a button *on* the main form to show another screen, it just goes blank and nothing is displayed.

frmMain.Hide;
frmLogin.Show;

I *wasn't* experiencing this before with EWB2 so I'm wondering what has changed since the Preview version that makes it behave like this."

If I create the forms dynamically then it works fine.  It's only when the forms are auto-created that there is a problem.

Weird.  I just added one more form to the project and now all of a sudden it's working correctly!??!

I'm little unclear as to what the problem is ? Can you elaborate.

This looks normal to me - forms are auto-created and shown on app
startup so all 5 will appear stacked.

If you want to create them dynamically instead then don't auto-create
them (Project->Options->Form tab - move forms you want to create
dynamically from "Auto-create forms" list into "Available forms" list).

If you do want to auto-create them but just not show on startup then
just set the "Visible" property to false for the forms 2 thru 5. Now
only form 1 should show up as visible on startup and you can show other
forms if you want in code.

Yes I'm aware of all this. It took me by surprise when it stacked all of the forms.  Except for the main form, I have now set all of the other forms to Visible := False.

The other problem I was having was that forms weren't displaying when I show-ed them.

For example:

frmMain.Hide;
frmLogin.Show;

The main form would hide but the login form would never show if it was auto-created.  If I dynamically created it then it would show. Other forms would behave the same.  I then added a 6th form and, without changing anything, the forms suddenly started showing when using the Show method.

So what I'm saying is the problem suddenly resolved itself, but I have no idea why.  Something weird was going on.  I have tried reproducing the issue with a new project but it is working fine.

Tried it here with new project and yes also works fine with auto-created
forms.

Only thing i can think of is some weird artifact from copy/paste or such
- in your original app (one with issues) did you create all forms and
controls on them from scratch or did you copy/paste the components from
one form to other(s) ?

Yes, I copied some elements (logo, links, etc.) to each page. Maybe something got screwed up.
