Description:
Form is not working when I use it as pages but it is working when used it alone. I will attach the code and screenshots below.

var form = tview.NewForm().AddButton("Save", func() {
})

var pages = tview.NewPages().
	AddPage("Menu", text, true, true).
	AddPage("Add Contact", form, true, false)

func main() {

	app.SetInputCapture(func(event *tcell.EventKey) *tcell.EventKey {
		if event.Rune() == 113 {
			app.Stop()
		} else if event.Rune() == 97 {
			addContactForm()
			pages.SwitchToPage("Add contact")
		}
		return event
	})

	if err := app.SetRoot(pages, true).EnableMouse(true).Run(); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

}

But it is working when I use it alone

var form = tview.NewForm().AddButton("Save", func() {
})
func main() {

	app.SetInputCapture(func(event *tcell.EventKey) *tcell.EventKey {
		if event.Rune() == 113 {
			app.Stop()
		} else if event.Rune() == 97 {
			// addContactForm()
			// pages.SwitchToPage("Add contact")
		}
		return event
	})

	if err := app.SetRoot(form, true).EnableMouse(true).Run(); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

}

result:

In that case the default page is Add contact and still it doesn't work.

Form is not working

I'm not sure what you mean by this but your code works for me if you make the form visible like @digitallyserviced says. The form is visible like in your static screenshot. (Your video doesn't show anything.)

In that case the default page is Add contact and still it doesn't work.

Please explain what you mean by "it doesn't work". What are you expecting to happen?

Looks like there is no interest in following up on this anymore. Feel free to open a new issue if this topic is still relevant.
