The rest of what code? Do you mean the return?
How are you exiting from the dialog box?
Remember that if you don't have a callback, fl_do_forms() exits,
returning to the caller the pointer to FL_OBJECT which was invoked.
Here's what I do in a simlilar application:
while ( hduml->dismiss != fl_do_forms() )
;
where `hduml' is a pointer to the FD_ structure and, obviously,
`dismiss' is a member of that structure pointing to an FL_OBJECT -- in
this case a button. Any other returns are tossed on the floor (I
might have objects which have no callback but are interrogated as a
result of some other callback action). Once I drop out of that loop,
I do my cleanup and return from the function.
If you have, perhaps, two buttons, one an "Execute" button and the
other a "Forget It" button, you would probably do something like:
while ( 1 ) {
FL_OBJECT *obj = fl_do_forms();
if ( obj == my_form->scram ) {
do_cleanup();
break;
} else if ( obj == my_form->do_it ) {
make_it_so();
break;
}
}
or something to that effect.
Sorry if I wasn't clear or made bad assumptions in my first reply.
I don't think there's a more elegant mechanism to break out of a
fl_do_forms() event loop. I'm in another lab right now and don't have
access to my XForms manual to double check. Perhaps we need a
fl_break_forms();
function?
