Hello iziBasic community,

I have a bit of a problem implementing correct menu operations. In short:

If I want to open a secondary custom form from the main program form, I could do that in two different ways:

1. Create a button that takes me to a subroutine. There, insert another "doevent" and if a Cancel button is pressed, the form is closed and I'll get back to the main form. This works perfectly fine.

2. If I do this with a menu item instead of a button, it does not work. With a bit of experimenting, I found that the program operation does not stay in the subroutine but switches immediately back to the main "doevent" loop. When the Cancel button is pressed, my program does not know what to do because the corresponding instruction is in the subroutine.

Please have a look at the following sample code to understand what I am trying to explain. You will need a resource file to actually compile it. If you un-comment the "print e" instruction, you will see the main doevent loop working.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

***sample code***

' Test1.ibas

'variables:
'e doevent on main form
'f menu item
'g doevent on second form

{CONSOLEFONT OFF}
{CREATORID "Tes1"}
{VERSION "1.0"}
{MINOSVERSION "3.0"}
{RESOURCEFILE "Test1.rsrc"}
{PARSER OFF}
{KEYEVENTS OFF}
{SECUREFILES ON}

BEGIN
MENU 100
BUTTON #1, "Second Form", 90,0,55,12
e=0
repeat
e=doevents
if e=1001 then
f=menuitem
if f=101 then
gosub _secondform
end if
end if
if e=1 then
gosub _secondform
end if
'print e
until e=-1
end

_secondform:
savescreen
openform 200
g=0
repeat
g=doevents
if g=201 then
closeform
restorescreen
end if
until g>0
return

**** end sample code ***
