Your call sequence is just fine. I use it myself. If you are not going to do any custom drawing, you can omit the FrmDrawForm(), as FrmDoDialog will call that if the form is not yet drawn.

There is no active form while a popup is displayed, and the value returned from FrmGetActiveForm in this situation has no meaning. " Does this mean that you can't call FrmGetActiveForm() inside the event handlers of FrmDoDialog? Because I've been doing this regularly with no problems. Also, is this the correct call sequence for FrmDoDialog()? I've looked at other posts and couldn't find a definitive answer. I'm not sure whether the FrmGetActiveForm and FrmSetActiveForm calls are necessary. prevForm = FrmGetActiveForm() popForm = FrmInitForm() FrmSetActiveForm(popForm) FrmDrawForm() ...drawing stuff here FrmDoDialog() ...get user input here FrmDeleteForm() FrmSetActiveForm(prevForm() -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
