🚀 go-pugleaf

I haven't actually written the code yet.

Let's say my main application does something to a database, but before the
operation can occur, the user must login.

So form1 is the "do something to the database" form.  Form2 is the login.

I've read that if I use the Dialog class, Form2 (login) requires Form1 in
its constructor.

In that case, would I implement a "loginButtonPressed" method in Form1 (the
main app)?  Or is there a better mechanism?

And if I don't use a modal window (let's say I want something like a
Search/Replace form), what is the correct way?

Thanks
Scott
