Returning to a frmMainForm after displaying a popup is relatively
straight forward. Maybe I missed something in the original question
but here is how I do it.
First, popup form is set to 'save behind'.
Second, call popup with FrmPopupForm(frmPopupForm)
Third, in the handler for the frmPopupForm have an event handler
section for the Ok button like:
static Boolean frmAboutEventH(EventPtr event) {
// some setup
// and other code here
switch (event->eType) { // checks for frmPopupEvent
case ctlSelectEvent: // checks for SelectEvent; like a button
switch(event->data.ctlEnter.controlID) {
case btnAboutOk: // checks for Ok button
FrmReturnToForm(frmMain); // returns to main form
handled = 1; // specifies that this
function handles event
break; // forces exit of this handler
}
That's about all there is to this. If you want to generate an
UpdateForm event for your main form you could put a
FrmUpdateForm(frmMainForm) in this handler and it would generate an
UpdateEvent where the main form could do some additional work.
