This may be a lot of work -- I have a dozen or so popups with lots of labels, icons, etc. Is there another way to do what I want? I have a toolbar at the bottom of my screen that is just a group of pushbuttons, like this: [ ][ ][ ][ ] When the user clicks on one of the pushbuttons, a popup appears: [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ][ ][ ][ ] The popup is the Form I'm having trouble with. The behaviour I'm after is when the user taps outside of the popup, the toolbar pops back down. I tried creating the popup as a non-modal Form (so that I don't get the heavy frame around it), but I get a strange behaviour that when the user taps outside of the Form, the Form seems to adjust its origin to (0,0) and can sometimes get tapped. I created a workaround by having the non-modal Form take up the whole screen (so that it was mostly blank with the popup's controls positioned where I needed them and the origin of the Form was at (0,0)). This worked great until I started running it on Color devices, in which the area under the Form was getting erased (which is a previous post I made). ~Rich -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
