Hello,

I would like to know how I can display two forms (or more), one under the
other (such that no part of any form is on top of another), and be able to
interact with them directly, without problem.

When I tried to do this with two forms, I could reach the point where I can
interact with them directly (i.e. a tap on a control of either form is
processed right-away -- no first tap lost to select the form), but I think
PalmOS becomes crazy when it gets a tap in the upper part of the lower
form: the event.screenX and screenY are always relative to the currently
selected form, which makes it (apparently) impossible in the software to
distinguish which form the taps are aimed at when they are received in this
area.

The bad area is defined liked this (it has the height of form1 in the upper
part of form2):
|--------------------------|
|     FORM1         |
|--------------------------|
|     bad area       |
|- - - - - - - - - - - - - |
|                          |
|     FORM2         |
|--------------------------|

Is there a function to get absolute coordinates for the event.screenX and
screenY?

Any other hint/advice?

Thanks a lot!
Mike
