The only event A is guaranteed to get is winEnterEvent, but only if you
reenter the event loop before popping up a new form. FrmReturnToForm
may also send frmUpdateEvent directly to form A, depending on the
situation. Form A's handler will be called with a frmUpdateEvent when B
is being erased only if B was set with the "save-bits" flag on, and
you're on a debug ROM or your memory was too low to save the space
behind B.
FrmReturnToForm just does three things:
1) FrmEraseForm on active form
2) FrmDeleteForm on active form
3) FrmSetActiveForm on old form
>From what on B are you calling FrmReturnToForm? The event handler's
popSelectEvent? Is form C being called by FrmPopupForm?
