It seems as though you don't want to dispatch the event right away, but
rather you just want to put the event in the event queue. Maybe just
switching the FrmDispatchEvent() call to an EvtAddEventToQueue() call will
clear things up?

Subject: FrmDispatchEvent crashes - only on the emulator
Hi,
my form A has a custom event which calls FldNewField(). When I trigger this
event via FrmDispatchEvent() from within the event handler of form A,
everything works fine.
Now I'm in the event handler of the modal popup form B and all I do is
"FrmReturnToForm(Form_A);
FrmDispatchEvent(That_custom_event_I_was_talking_about);".
The FldNewField() call will now eventually crash the emulator (it will
squeak about a memory read into a non-allocated chunk of memory). BUT it
works fine on a real Palm.
To make things even more complicated, it seems to matter whether I put in
some debug info - when calling some ErrDisplay() calls inbetween, the system
will actually create that new field. I can even select it. As soon as I
change one character though, the system will crash again (same error).
Unfortunately I do not have a matching Palm/POSE configuration - I'm using a
Palm V w/ OS 3.3 while POSE is set to a Palm III w/ OS 3.3. I've tried ROM
Transfer.prc but the transfered ROM does always immediately crash when fed
into POSE.
POSE is 3.0a5, Win32.
bt reports:
WinDisplayToWindowPt + $2bd12fe0
EvtGetEvent + $946a95b0
PL_EventLoop + $1405fbb0 ( <-- main event loop of my application,
obviously)
PilotMain + $a10ef2d0
I remember Mr. Flaumenhaft having a similar problem - maybe those two are
related? Or did I simply miss something very obvious?
