What Steve mentions is what all older threads in this forum state, namely that
FrmDrawForm();
FrmSetFocus();
FrmDoDialog();
is legal and should work. What I observe is that if the underlying (main)
form has an object which has the focus, I have a blinking insertion point
visible on top of my main form after FrmDoDialog() returns. (and my main
form doesn't have any editable fields whatsoever)
I don't see why WinSetDrawWindow() would have any impact on the insertion
point, it certainly has not been mentioned before.
Also, how come things work ok if I temporarily turn off the focus of the
underlying form?
prevForm = FrmGetActiveForm();
prevFocusObj = FrmGetFocus(prevForm);
FrmSetFocus(prevForm, noFocus);
FrmInitForm(frm);
FrmSetActiveForm(frm);
FrmDrawForm(frm);
FrmSetFocus(frm, /* editable field */);
FrmDoDialog(frm);
FrmDeleteForm(frm);
FrmSetActiveForm(prevForm);
FrmSetFocus(prevForm, prevFocusObj);
The problem has disappeared now that I do it like this, but I don't
understand why I need mess with the prevForm's focus...
