My problem seems to be related to my trying to hide contols from code
within a dialog handler. I have my main form and a dialog that pops up.
When the user clicks on a button, it hides some of the controls in the main
form.
My code to realize the dialog looks like this:
:
FrmSetEventHandler( dialog, handler );
FrmPopupForm( formID );
buttonPressed = FrmDoDialog( dialog );
FrmReturnToForm( activeID );
:
If I wait until "FrmDoDialog" returns to hide my controls, everything works
great. But, if I try to hide the controls before it returns, they only
become unusable. (I'm not covering the controls with the dialog, so its not
a case of the image under the dialog being restored with the image of the
hidden contols, even though they've been correctly hidden.)
I could write a parser to queue the command until the dialog finishes, but
I'd rather not if I can avoid it. If I am diagnosing things correctly here,
can someone recommand an alternative to FrmDoDialog that will allow me to
make changes to the main from from within the Dialog's handler?
Thanks!
