HeHe,
The docs clearly state that FormPopUp does NOT close the prior form. It
doesn't erase it either.
But the form you PopUp should have the save-behind attribute checked so it
doesn't muck it up and restores it.
Now when your FrmPopupForm, use FrmReturnToForm to get back.
However you won't get a FrmUpdateEvent (because they thing you don't need
one).
So pop one on the queue like so.
/* Emulate a keydown event */
void AddFormUpdateEvent()
{
EventType theEvent;
/* Create the key down event */
theEvent.eType = frmUpdateEvent;
theEvent.data.frmUpdate.formID = DBViewForm;
/* Add the event to the event queue */
EvtAddEventToQueue(&theEvent);
}
Change the FormID to the form you want to get the update event.
This is very usefull for those time when you popup a 'popup' form over say a
form with a a table and when you come back you need to maybe update that
table and/or scroll to it.
At least this has worked for me in the past. Hope it helps.
