Problem
How can I open a form in a modal window, and read the values of the components present on the form.
Solution
To open a form you should use the following code:
//Create the window
dataweb.client.Window wnd = new dataweb.client.Window(dataweb.client.Window.DIALOG_MODAL,thisForm.getContainer());
wnd.setDefaultCloseOperation(dataweb.client.Window.HIDE_ON_CLOSE);
//Open the form
dataweb.client.components.Form frm = client.openForm(session, "<package>.<form>" ,wnd ,thisForm);
//Show the window (since the window is modal waits until it is closed)
wnd.show();
//Reads the value of the components of the form
String val = frm.getComponent("textBox2").getText();
//Destroy the window and the form
wnd.dispose();
