I'm having a problem with a dialog, the insertion point continues to blink
on the screen even when the dialog has been removed.
This has been discussed a couple of times before in this forum, but even if
I do as suggested in the older threads, it still fails sometimes.
If I start my app, draw the main form, and then put this dialog on top
(happens when a user selects a menu entry), it works fine, no traces of the
cursor remain after quitting the dialog.
I can repeat that as long as I want, the cursor always goes away when the
dialog is removed.
_However_, if I first change something on my main form (scroll a table,
update a text field, ...), the cursor continues blinking on my main form
once I quit the dialog.
Fully redrawing the main form doesn't make it disappear, the blinking
cursor only goes away when another dialog is displayed & removed.
What kind of link can there be between my main form and this dialog?
Here's what I do:
PrefsDialog()
{
...
prevForm = FrmGetActiveForm();
frm = FrmInitForm(PrefsForm);
FrmSetActiveForm(frm);
... put data in fields, set control values ...
/* need own event handler to process the gadgets */
FrmSetEventHandler(frm, MyHandleEvent);
FrmDrawForm(frm);
... draw gadgets ...
/* Set focus. Must be done _after_ the form is displayed! */
FrmSetFocus(frm, FrmGetObjectIndex(frm,
PrefsRemindNumDaysField));
button = FrmDoDialog(frm);
...
FrmEraseForm(frm);
FrmDeleteForm(frm);
if (prevForm)
FrmSetActiveForm(prevForm);
...
}
Removing the event handler or adding a FrmDrawForm before I initialise the
fields and controls, it doesn't change anything.
Any ideas?
