Yes.
Usually I create separate prg files and functions for each window I am creating. This way I can organize the total project in a systematic manner.

Good Morning Mr Rathinagiri,
thanks for your reply, that is surely a better way to keep tracks of the program.
Best Regards.
Robert

Robert,
I use about the same manner as Rathi. But of course (if a rather small project) you can create one big PRG (with different windows names).

Serge,
my app is still a small one, but growing, so I will go the same way. The listed code is just an excerpt for playing around. The additional prg files have no main function, right?
And the prg-files must be noted in hbp?
Have a nice day.
Robert

Rob, this is so because it is not several autonomous programs that come together to form a larger one. It is a large program that is chopped for the convenience of the programmer.
The size and content of the pieces does not matter, and of course none of those pieces is usually an application in itself.
Regarding the .hbp file, it is not necessary: you can type in the command line the names of the pieces one after another every time you compile...
I recommend creating a .hbp file.

Now some things get clearer concerning the windows in HMG, dBase was easier to handle, you always had one window, but HMG is simply the state of the art. Please keep in mind, that I am not a professional programmer.

Thank you for the advice, creating a project by IDE and building the .exe will do this for me, right?

Right again!
More or less... Once you have a project you see 'Modules'. In the toolbar you see 'Project'--> New Module.
This will ask a (prg) name and will create an empty PRG file.

Using IDE is a personal choice.
I'm too heterodox as programmer, so I do not even consider using IDE.
