Tony, If you want to generate a frmOpenEvent (or any other event for that matter), create a EventType structure, set the eType to frmOpenEvent, then call EvtAddEventToQueue to add it to the queue. This will throw it into the queue and it will be sent to your event handler.
Cheers, Tim "Tony Janke" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have an event handler which is accessed from many other event handlers. Essentially, I create a HELP button on each form. When this button is pressed, I use FrmPopupForm() to display a screen with help instructions. I have a separate event handler for the help form. When the user presses done, I use the command FrmReturnToForm(0) to close the window and restore the original form. This works fine, unless there are fields that are initialized during frmOpenEvent() on the original form. Since FrmReturnToForm() doesn't generate a frmOpenEvent, my variables disappear. How can I generate a frmOpenEvent so that my variables are refreshed when I return to the form from which I called help? thanks, ~Tony -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
