Thanks for your response, Richard.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough, or maybe I'm still not doing this right.
If I try handling the event this way, the hardware buttons are handled by
SysHandleEvent() (which I don't want)
//My communication loop.
for (int x = 0; x < timeToQuit; x++)
{
/* Doing stuff */
EvtGetEvent(&event, -1);
if (!SysHandleEvent(&event))
{
if (!MenuHandleEvent(0, &event, &error))
{
FrmDispatchEvent(&event);
}
}
}
If I try handling the event this way, the hardware buttons aren't handled,
but I never see the 'Cancel' button press.
//My communication loop.
for (int x = 0; x < timeToQuit; x++)
{
/* Doing stuff */
EvtGetEvent(&event, -1);
FrmDispatchEvent(&event);
}
How can I keep the user on my form no matter what, unless they tap my
cancel button (functioning just like HotSync)?

Please respond to "Palm Developer

All you need to do there is capture all of the data entry events and
"handle" them but don't do anything with them unless its your cancel
button. In other words in your form event handler return true for all
events even if you don't do anything with them.
