Closing a Dialog

[stemar]

In a form, I'm using a button with a RunCommand method to run the find dialog (=Ctrl F) to show a another record. I'd like the find dialog to close on arrival at the new record. Is there a way to do this?

I think so. I've never done this, but have caught references to a couple concepts that might help.

I believe each window opened has a handle (hWnd?) which identifies it and also allows you to make changes to it, including closing it.

Poke around on:

Beyond the above, I really can't help much further. Good luck.
