My application manages as many DBs as the user creates. When data is beamed to it, if a database with the same name already exists, a merge processs must take place between beamed and existing records. To do this, I wish to close the currently open DB (if any) and ideally go back to the Main form (which displays a list of available DBs) before opening the local DB to launch the beam merge.
When handling the first beam-related launch code (sysAppLaunchCmdExgAskUser), calling FrmCloseAllForms results in the socket pointer to become corrupted, causing a Simulator error. I then tried determining if the current form is a modal dialog other than those I manage so as to find out if some alert is currently displayed, but the active form ID I get is always 11600, likely that of the beam receive dialog. I later tried to close the active form when handling the second beam-related launch code(sysAppLaunchCmdExgReceiveData), a good idea because then the user has positively answered to the beam dialog. Again, I get 11660 as the active form ID. If I let things go and an alert or modal dialog was open when I started to receive beamed data, a crash (application or Simulator) occurs when trying to jump to te main form. 1- Is there a way I can cleanly find out the current active form, dialog or alert "underneath" the Palm OS built-in dialog so as to take proper action? 2- Is there a way to do this before actually receiving all the (possibly big) beamed data? 3- What is the best way to close a possible alert? Issuing a handmade frmCloseEvent? The FrmCloseAllForms seems too radical, even closing the beam receive form... -- Luc Le Blanc -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
