I have a few QuickEvents in menus which call my window's QBFxxxx events. After each of the QBFxxxx events, I'd like to execute a bit of code which updates some stuff on the window. I have this stored in an OMNIEVENT script, which is called as a QuickEvent from each ofo the QBFxxxx events, but it seems never to get called.

Is it possible that QuickEvents can't call each other?

Any clues?

The menu does a quick event call to QBFWhatever. QBFWhatever has another quick event that calls omnievent. Omnievent is not being called, right?

What's happening in the QBF event? Depending on event_status, it could be aborting.

What happens if you place event code in the QBFWhatever so that it FORWARD_EVENT ; RETURN 0

Does that make a difference?

I don't know anything that will stop the event chain outside of a bad status. One event should be treated like all the others.

Alex,

This is a known bug in QBF system event handlers – for an obsolete reason they end up with "return 0" that stops the event chain. The fix is scheduled for OpenInsight 3.5.

Meanwhile, the work-around would be having a form specific handler with a code that looks like:

* declare subroutine Forward_Event, Send_Event declare function Get_EventStatus Forward_Event() ;* execute system event-handler if Get_EventStatus(statCode) else Send_Event(@window, 'OMNIEVENT', …) end return 0 ***

Thanks Gene…

I'd tried this solution earlier, and it worked, but I really didn't relish the idea of using scripted events where QuickEvents should have worked perfectly well.

So… Refresh my memory, when is 3.5 coming? ;)

OpenInsight 3.5 is due mid-November.
