Elliot,
You also need to setup a Form event handler for each form, so that they
can receive update, pen etc events. To do this, do the following ..
static Boolean AppHandleEvent(EventPtr inEventPtr)
{
UInt16 aFormID;
FormPtr aFormPtr;
if (inEventPtr->eType == frmLoadEvent)
{
// Load the form resource.
aFormID = inEventPtr->data.frmLoad.formID;
aFormPtr = FrmInitForm(aFormID);
FrmSetActiveForm(aFormPtr);
// Set the event handler for the form. The handler of the currently
// active form is called by FrmHandleEvent each time is receives an
// event.
switch (aFormID)
{
case Form1:
FrmSetEventHandler(aFormPtr, Form1HandleEvent);
break;
case Form2:
FrmSetEventHandler(aFormPtr, Form2HandleEvent);
break;
case Form3:
FrmSetEventHandler(aFormPtr, Form3HandleEvent);
break;
case Form4:
FrmSetEventHandler(aFormPtr, Form4HandleEvent);
break;
default:
// ErrFatalDisplay("Invalid Form Load Event");
break;
}
return true;
}
return false;
}
Then for each Form you create, you place a case statement in the above
switch, and add a new event handling function for the new Form ..
Boolean Form1HandleEvent(EventPtr inEventPtr)
{
Boolean aHandled = false;
FormPtr aFormPtr;
switch (inEventPtr->eType)
{
case menuEvent:
return MainFormDoCommand(inEventPtr->data.menu.itemID);
case frmOpenEvent:
aFormPtr = FrmGetActiveForm();
// Form1Init(aFormPtr);
FrmDrawForm(aFormPtr);
aHandled = true;
break;
default:
break;
}
return aHandled;
}
This should help
