Hi,
    FrmPopupForm *only* posts 2 events .
" FrmPopupForm()
Queues a frmLoadEvent and a frmOpenEvent for the specified form. "
Because the debug dialog uses the same event queue, the events are
discarded, thus no form is shown.

Btw: The actual form loading is done by your AppHandleEvent() (or some
similar function, look for FrmInitForm).

Regards,
    Miro Pomsar

Subject: FrmPopupForm problem


I am trying to use

FrmPopupForm / FrmReturnToForm to open a form because I want to return to
the calling form with all
the calling forms fields still populated.

On a button the following code appears to work just fine:

FrmPopupForm(dlgStNames);

However, if I add another line to the code in the buttonSelect event
(currently, just a debug call
to check the value of a global)

  FrmPopupForm(dlgStNames);
  ShowInteger(vtUtils.getSelectedStNameIndex);

then the form dlgStNames never shows and my ShowInteger dialog pops up.

Obviously FrmPopupForm is actually returning immediately.

Is there an event I can watch for in the calling form to tell me when
FrmReturnToForm has been
called or is there a better approach?

The Palm reference seemed to indicate that this was the way to go.

Thanks,
Clive
