>Read Events happens when your startup code has set everything up and you're starting the event loop, i.e. waiting for the user to do something. Clear events happens when user exits, and then your cleanup code runs. Everything in between is an idle loop, when your app either responds to user actions, or external events (messages from OS - machine shutdown, perhaps, tracking OS events like directory content change), or runs on timers.

You may choose to have several event loops - when user exits one, given some condition you may decide to restart the same loop (say - logout, or timeout and you require a fresh login), or user decides to run a different branch of the app so you start a different loop (for which you need a different startup code and the Read Events is in a different location in your code).

I probably do not understand something but your last line does not seem to work for me.

I have the following pseudo code in my main.prg:

1. Instantiate a modal form form. Wait for user to make a selection, then release this form.

2. Instantiate a modeless form that has ShowWindow property set to 2 - As top level form.

3. Read Events.

What happens is my code goes right by the step 1 (even though the form is modal) and stops on step 2. This part I can't understand. The form is modal; it should stop but it does not.

So I will probably need to incorporate the step 1 into INIT method of form in step 2.
