Delete Current Form Command

Use the Delete Current Form command from the File menu to delete the current form. This enables you to delete the currently active form while allowing you to visually confirm that it is the correct form.

If the form can be deleted (that is, it has no meta data inhibitors such as has property references), the menu command is enabled and the caption is Delete Current Form:active‑form‑name.

If the form cannot be deleted, the menu command is disabled. Placing the cursor over the disabled command displays in the status line the reason that the form cannot be deleted (for example, the form has subclasses).

Clicking the Delete Current Form command:

• Reconfirms that the form can be deleted.

• Checks that the form is not in use elsewhere in the system.

• Confirms that you can perform the delete action (that is, the security library is called).

• Deletes the form and its class if there are no inhibitors.

• Closes the form in Painter if the form is deleted and discards any unsaved changes.
