Add second form to a Non-Multiform Project

Post by JDruhan »

I started out my project thinking I'd only need the one form. Now I've decided to add a popup form.

I've added a new form file to the project (.psf) but I don't know how to call that form from within the main form. It seems the Call-FormName_Extension command does not work when the project is not a "Multiform Project".

I think I need to tell the Startup.pss file to include the new form and then use a command to show it from within MainForm but I'm not sure how.

To comply with PowerShell best practices, we changed the Call verb to Show.

So it should now be:

Show-FormName_Extension

Refer to this article for more details:
