code runs twice

[dblarch]

When debugging code for objects on a form I sometimes use ".view" or "msgInfo". These popups appear twice indicating that the code runs two times. As a result results from button presses, etc. take twice as long to appear. It seems a containership issue which I don't know how to resolve.

Where do you have the code?

I discovered that the code exists in two places. The same code was placed on the pushbutton (PB) event of a PB on the calling form and in the open event of the called form. The code calls methods in a library. I removed the code on the calling form's PB and the doubled appearance of popups went away.

I'd put the code in two places because the calling form's pushbutton was to change color when code on the called form ran successfully.

If I could return the results , "PASS/FAIL", from the called form to the code on the calling form's PB then when focus is returned, it could respond, e.g. turn Green for "PASS" or red for "FAIL".

If I could return the results "

If the code *calling* the form does a

formvar.open(":alias:formname.fsl")
returnVar=formvar.wait(),

and the *called* form does a

formreturn("returnvalue"),

then returnVar gets set to "returnvalue".

Is this what you were asking?

That's indeed it. The line: returnVar=formvar.wait() : did the trick.
