I am still stuck and would appreciate some advice here. This is what I'm
trying right now:
I set a global handle from the calling form's field handle (leaving the
handle in place in the calling field), and then call
FrmPopupForm(Popup);
The popup works fine - the helper function allows the entry of text. I then
release the
handle from the popup form field (it is still in globals) and return to the
calling form via
FrmReturnToForm(0);
The Palm doc is unclear about the functionality of FrmReturnToForm,
especially the stuff about "Save Behind" and so-forth. However, Save Behind
would be of no use to me, because the field's contents have been changed,
and therefore must be 'refreshed' anyway.
I tried adding
FrmUpdateForm(0, frmRedrawUpdateCode);
and capturing this code in the MainFormHandleEvent, but interestingly,
#1. The event gets called twice, and
#2. It doesn't refresh the field.
I tried looping through the fields calling FldDrawField(i) and that didn't
do it either.
What am I missing?
