There is no active form when you're drawing a popup list.
Popup lists are their own windows. It's the popup list's window which is
'active', and this window does not correspond to any form.
You probably want to get the form for your main app view, which is not in
fact active when the popup is being dealt with. There's an easy way to do
this:
Use FrmGetFormPtr, passing the ID of your main form. This will return the
form pointer even when the form is not active.
