Open window in another form

Question

Hi, let's say I'm workin on a form an when I press a button another window should open. The problem is that this window is part of another form.
my question: How can I open that specific window?
If I use call_form it opens the complete form and not the specific window I want.
Is there a way to only open the desired window?
thanks in advance

D D,
This is the code to open the called form:
Declare
pl_id PARAMLIST;
pl_name VARCHAR2(10);
BEGIN
-- Create parameter list --
pl_name := 'temp';
pl_id := get_parameter_list(pl_name);
IF NOT ID_NULL(pl_id) THEN
destroy_parameter_list(pl_id);
END IF;
pl_id := create_parameter_list(pl_name);
IF ID_NULL(pl_id) THEN
MESSAGE('Parameter list creation error');
RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
END IF;
-- Add parameter to the list --
add_parameter(pl_id, 'BLOCK_NAME', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'billed_contracts1');
-- Call the form with the parameter list
Open_form('Mecoms_custom_billing', ACTIVATE, NO_SESSION, pl_id);
END;
In the called form (Mecoms_custom_billing) you have to create the parameter which name is : BLOC_NAME (VARCHAR2(60)), and a When-New-Form-Instance trigger that test this parameter:
If :parameter.block_name is not null then
Go_Block( :parameter.block_name ) ;
End if ;
