since it's not working, you might want to question your assumptions that
"the current form is closed correctly" and that "the new form is opened
correctly".
if you look at the source for CtlHandleEvent, it's hard to escape the
conclusion that the new form is *not* being opened correctly. i was going
to ask, "what is the frmOpenEvent code in one of the forms that doesn't
work?" but then i looked at your code and realized you aren't even providing
form handlers, nor do you seem to be calling FrmDispatchEvent ever.

eh? this MainOBSHandleEvent is quite an unusual event loop. it looks like
maybe all your forms must use the same logic, so you decided to roll that
logic into your main event loop, and never call FrmDispatchEvent. is that
correct?
also, i didn't see any code to handle the frmLoadEvent -- where are the
calls to FrmInitForm and FrmSetActiveForm, much less the call to
FrmSetEventHandler? without those, the new form has not been opened
correctly.

that was not a form event handler. that was your main event loop. they are
not at all the same thing. it looks like you don't even have a form event
handler, which is probably the root of your problems.

no it doesn't. the only reference to penDownEvent was commented out, and
penUpEvent was not referenced at all.
