I have done things like that without problems. Another way to do it, which
keeps all the main form modifications in one place, is like this:
FrmReturnToForm(m_ParentDialogID);
FrmUpdateForm(m_ParentDialogID, UPDATEWITHNEWFILTER);
and then in the main form:
case frmUpdateEvent:
if (UPDATEWITHNEWSORT == event->data.frmUpdate.updateCode)
SortTimeRecords(TimeLogDB);
else if (UPDATEWITHNEWFILTER ==
event->data.frmUpdate.updateCode)
{
if (CPreferences::IsFilterEnabled())
{
CurrentRecord = noRecordSelected;
UnselectAll();
CFilter::FilterRecords(TimeLogDB);
}
CTotal::UpdateTotal(TimeLogDB);
}
UpdateMainForm();
handled = TRUE;
break;
