Pause execution for Modal Child Form during form event

I'm using CSI 9 and am trying to present a dialog box during the StdFormSave event of the CustomerOrderLines form. The dialog will prompt for addition of an extra line to cover freight costs.

I appended an event handler to the StdFormSave event that will launch this dialog as a modal child form. However, while the dialog is open, execution continues in the background and the form is saved before the user has a chance to make their selection from the dialog.

Does anyone know of a way for me to pause execution of any further event handlers while I have this dialog open?

I don't believe you can block the StdFormSave event. You can add a button and attach an event that displays the modal prompt. The prompt can then generate a save event after the user selects from the prompt.

maybe something like this will work. You can stop it by throwing a non zero value in StdFormSave in your main form and then launch your modal form.

when modal form is launched and done with modifications, you can then use a formscript like Thisform.Parentform.Generateevent("StdFormSave")

MainForm:

sequence 118 will only lunch the modal if the variable is empty.

sequence 119 will stop the save event

Modal form:

In modal form populate the variable of main form (this is like a marker to launch or not to launch the form or to throw the StdFormSave in main form)

after populating the variable we can issue a generate event to parent form.

Note: not sure but maybe we can move the saving part in StdFormCalledfromreturned?
