I had a window built with two child windows and using %ps. One child window included a button that returns a negative number. The intent was to close the parent window and return the value to the calling program as a value with which to take an action.

While the parent window closes, the value reported as the return value was zero, not expected. I have scanned the documentation, but there is no reference to this return of a zero value in this situation. I know that buttons defined in the parent window will return the appropriate value. But, apparently, not from a child.

Is my "analysis" correct?

Can you provide a simple sample so that I can trace what is happening to the return values?

Here's the code sample. Pressing the button in the tab should return a non-zero value that is the number of the tab. The third button is for completeness.

Code:
   winapp
   integer sheet(2)
    integer i
    integer,external:: button1,button2,button3
    i = winio@('%sh%ca[Button1]%^bt[Button1]',sheet(1),button1)
    i = winio@('%sh%ca[Button2]%^bt[button2]',sheet(2),button2)
    i = winio@('%ww[independent,not_fixed_size]&')
    i = winio@('Select the tab and press the button to get the return value%ff&')
    i = winio@('This should return "3" %^bt[Button3]%ff%nl&',button3)
    i = winio@('%2ps[hot_track]',sheet(1),sheet(2))
    print *,'Returned value was',i
    stop
    end
      INTEGER(KIND=7) FUNCTION BUTTON1()
   BUTTON1=  -1
   RETURN
   END
   INTEGER(KIND=7) FUNCTION BUTTON2()
   BUTTON2=  -2
   RETURN
   END
      INTEGER(KIND=7) FUNCTION BUTTON3()
   BUTTON3=  -3
   RETURN
   END

I think you are right in expecting a non-zero return value but as far as I can tell it has never worked that way for a button in a property sheet.

I can fix it in a way that is very unlikely to break any existing code so I will apply the fix for the next release of the DLLs.

Thanks, Paul. In the mean time, I have other methods in place.

Looking forward to that release!
