Passing an returning a Parameter to a Form

How to do this?

Hello Gary
If i want top pass a returning parameter to a form, i use its cargo
property. In this property you can assign value of any data type.
Hope that this helps you.
Regards

Thanks for answering Dionisis. Could you give me an example of the syntax to
pass a value to the Cargo property?

Gary,
This is the technique I am using as recommended by the Xailer guys a while
back.
Allows parameters to be passed & returned.
With this approach make DATA vars in the second form to hold the parameters
to be passed and the values to be returned.
The calling syntax is quite important as the secondary form still exists
after the showmodal allowing you to extract any number of return values.
Not suggesting I fully understand the calling sysntax but I have used it
lots of times.
Hope it helps.

::oBrandEdit:Value := ::cBrandChosen // set some var
on primary form to returned value
RETURN Nil
