Setup an event handler for this dialog like this:
FormPtr dialog = FrmInitForm(YourForm);
FrmSetEventHandler(dialog , YourFormHandleEvent);
FrmDoDialog(dialog );
FrmDeleteForm(dialog );
Boolean YourFormHandleEvent(EventPtr eventP)
{
Boolean handled = false;
FormPtr frmP = FrmGetActiveForm();
static UInt32 sec = 0;
switch (eventP->eType)
{
case winEnterEvent:
if(eventP->data.winEnter.enterWindow == FrmGetWindowHandle(frmP))
{
sec= TimGetSeconds();
EvtSetNullEventTick(5*SysTicksPerSecond());
}
break;
case nilEvent:
if(TimGetSeconds() - sec > 5)
CtlHitControl((ControlType *)FrmGetObjectPtr(frmP,
FrmGetObjectIndex(frmP, AboutOKButton)));
EvtSetNullEventTick(5*SysTicksPerSecond());
break;
default:
break;
}
return handled;
}
It works.
