I'm in the middle of writing a fairly large PalmOS app (~300K) and I am noticing that when I bring up tips and a dialog on top of another dialog, the background is not being saved of the parent dialog. When I return the parent diaog, I get a blank screen. I'm bypassing this by sending an event to the parent dialog to redraw.
However, when a Tips dialog is brough up, I don't have this option. I'm running the same code on a 4.0 machine (m505) and this is also happening. I'm sure there is some sort of resource issue here. What happened and how do I prevent this?
Doesn't the OS sent a frmUpdate event after a popup dialog like this?
You shouldn't need to set "save behind" for the form that calls FrmHelp, but you do need to be sure that you handle frmUpdateEvent. One good way of testing this is to use debug ROMs with POSE or debug versions of the Palm OS 5 simulator to test your app.
