Form API

what is the use of top.hiddenFrameRunning = true;, I have seen this in Form API guide. I understand that when using call server we get the control to the hidden frame, through which we can access the parent frame.but what is the need to explicity mention the above line. Does it have any significance???

Ignore it. In the form it's mentioned (never checked and never re-set back to false) it's useless.

This flag can be used for re-synchronization of sequential executions of asynchronous IWDatacapture.callServer method.
It is your (the developer) responsibility however to set, check and and re-set the flag correctly. Because of that and the fact that
FormAPI *may* use this flag for its own purposes (like IWDCRInfo.setDCRName internal *callServer*) I generally find it easier to
leave this Flag alone and use my own custom Flags for callServer synchronization and the like.
