Not much success I wonder if you could tell me what's wrong:
I have a text editor + buttons on a form called frmText editor
On my Main form I create a new frm and add it to the workspace:
 At the top of the form I did

 public hObs as Observor

In the routine I add each page I put:

  Newpage = NEW frmTextEditor
  WorkspaceEditor.Add(NewPage)

I tried various comination and permutation of this to create an observer:

   hObs = NEW Observer(NewPage.parent) AS "tabstrip"

and then created a subroutine:


PUBLIC SUB tabstrip_menu()
   PRINT "I'm being clicked"
   STOP EVENT
  
END SUB

But it dosn't seem to pick up the event.

Thanks in anticipation

Richard
