Open new window in the same form

Question

Hi
I created a form with 6 records displayed. I have a check box for each record. I would like to select a record and make the check box checked. Once I check a checkbox I would like to automatically open a new window in the same form with further details of the checked record. Could you please help me how I could work on this.

Dear you have to create relation between the blocks then you can achieve this like:
1) Create two canvases in your form (canvas1 and canvas2).
2) Create a window in your form with name Window2 now you have two windows (Window1 and Window2).
3) now set the property 'Primary Canvas' of each window (Window1 = Canvas1, window2 = Canvas2)
4) Now create database block of you main table with (CAT, NAME, DEPT) fields and select the Canvas1 in the layout wizard.
5) Create another database block with same table but this time select only 3 fields (CAT,SAL, DATE) and at the time of creation mention relation between blocks in the Data block wizard (block1.cat = block2.cat) and select the Canvas2 in the layout wizard.
6) Now create check box field name MASTER_CHBOX in first block and set Database Item property no of this check box item and set the Value When Checked property to Y and N for Value When unChecked.
7) Create a trigger on CheckBox Item and paste below code in it.
if :MASTER_CHBOX = 'Y' then
show_window('WINDOW2');
go_item('SAL');
end if;
