All, The following is a clip from the documentation for frmUpdateEvent in the Palm OS 5.0 documentation. I am confused by how the event is supposed to be received by the application. The documentation states when a form (or part of it) needs to be redrawn, a frmUpdateEvent is added to the event queue. However, I believe that when the OS shuts down a system modal form (via DoDialog) the event is not added to the queue, but in fact dispatched directly to the form that is supposed to be updated (via the registered event handler). If the event was actually added to the event queue, I should see the event during my EvtGetEvent() loop. However, this is not the behavior that I am seeing. The form is receiving the event directly, circumventing my applications event handler (where I want to handle it). Is the documentation wrong, or am I misunderstanding it?
<--- Clip from 5.0 docs ---> "The form routine FrmUpdateForm, or in some cases the routine FrmEraseForm, sends this event when it needs to redraw the region obscured by the form being erased. Generally, the region obscured by a form is saved and restored by the form routines without application intervention. However, in cases where the system is running low on memory, the form's routine may not save obscured regions itself. In that case, the application adds a frmUpdateEvent to the event queue. The form receives the event and redraws the region using the updateCode value.
