As I understand it, these are the steps taken to launch a form as a dialog (error checking etc not shown, for clarity):
FormPtr frm = FrmInitForm(FORM_ID); FrmSetActiveForm(frm); /* Set fields etc here */ control = FrmDoDialog(frm); The problem I'm having is this. If I set the text of any fields on the form immediately before the FrmDoDialog() (marked above), these fields appear on the _existing_ form/ window if I follow the set text with a call to FldDrawField()). If FldDrawField() is not performed, the fields never seem to get updated on-screen. If I don't perform the FldDrawField(), fields modified don't get updated on the form if the form is loaded normally (i.e. not through FrmDoDialog()). It strikes me that I'd need two setText functions - one that draws the field after setting the text, and one that doesn't. /* for Dialog forms */ setFieldTextWithDraw(field, text); FrmDoDialog(frm); /* for non-Dialog forms */ FrmGotoForm(); /* other things here */ setFieldTextWithoutDraw(field, text); Is there any way to get the visibility of a field? I know FrmHideObject() and FrmShowObject() exist but there don't seem to be any corresponding FrmIsObjectVisible() or FldIsVisible() functions - or does FrmGetObjectIndex() only return a good value if the object is visible?
