behavior dcl_Form_Hide between "Palette" and "MODLESS" dialog boxes

Hello

Difference on the "dcl_Form_Hide" between a dialog box "PALLET" and a dialog box "MODLESS".

The behavior of this command is different, in fact with a dialog box "MODLESS", the entire box is hidden, the dialog box "PALLET" graphics rest while its content is removed.

That behavior is by design. When a palette or dockable dialog is docked, it lives inside a parent container that may contain multiple child forms. Hiding a child form does nothing to the parent container. If you close it instead, then the screen layout is recalculated, and the parent container is destroyed along with the child.
