correct..
this is stated clearly in the documentation. i use FrmPopupForm()
to do a custom built dialog in which i must initialize data when
it opens (but after it draws)
using a combination of FrmPopupForm() and FrmReturnToForm(0) - i
simulate the actions of FrmDoDialog() - where my form acts like a
dialog but i get to process the events as per a normal form.
ie: frmOpenEvent - is something you cannot process when using
FrmDoDialog().
you can initialize the form prior to calling, but if you need to
blitter something after the form is drawn - you cannot do so with
FrmDoDialog().
the documentation also clearly states that IF you call
FrmReturnToForm(...) you MUST clean up prior to doing so - as it
does not generate a frmCloseForm event.
ie:
// clean up memory that was initialize
....
// return to the last active form.
FrmReturnToForm(0);
everything you need is in the documentation - be sure to download
the latest from the devzone area on palm.com. most of your questions
could have been solved on your own if you correctly used the
documentation provided by palm.
cheers.
