when I return from Calendar

I created a grid channel that has a search and calendar at the top. The calendar is a roParagraph, when it is selected from the grid it displays perfectly. However, when you return from to the grid you are able to move around but if you make a selection you get the 'bing' sound but nothing happens for any selection. This does not happen with my search screen.


"ShowGrid"

...

while true
msg = wait(0, port)
if type(msg) = "roGridScreenEvent" then
if msg.isScreenClosed() then
return -1
elseif msg.isListItemFocused()
print "Focused msg: ";msg.GetMessage();"row: ";msg.GetIndex();
print " col: ";msg.GetData()
elseif msg.isListItemSelected()
print "Selected msg: ";msg.GetMessage();"row: ";msg.GetIndex();
print " col: ";msg.GetData()
if (m.categories.kids[msg.getindex()]).kids[msg.GetData()].title= "Calendar" then
ShowParagraphScreen()
elseif (m.categories.kids[msg.getindex()]).kids[msg.GetData()].title="Search"then
showSearchScreen()
else
SpringboardScreen(teamhd_imgList[msg.GetIndex()][msg.GetData()],teamtitleList[msg.GetIndex()][msg.GetData()],teamdescriptionList[msg.GetIndex()][msg.GetData()], teamstreamList[msg.GetIndex()][msg.GetData()],teamformatList[msg.GetIndex()][msg.GetData()] )
endif


endif
endif
end while



Function ShowParagraphScreen() As Void
port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
screen = CreateObject("roParagraphScreen")
screen.SetMessagePort(port)
screen.SetTitle("Calendar")
screen.AddHeaderText("Upcoming")
screen.AddParagraph("03/29 Event A")
screen.AddParagraph("04/06 Event B")
screen.AddParagraph("04/18 Event C")
screen.Show()
while true
msg = wait(0, screen.GetMessagePort())
if type(msg) = " roParagraphScreenEvent"

'exit while
endif
end while
End Function


I have tried changing the position of Search and Calendar and the Search works and the Calendar does not. This makes me think that there is not a problem in my loop in ShowGrid. I think it must be how I did the paragraphScreen for my Calendar.

Do I need to return something from my paragraphScreen?
Is there some other problem?

Thank you very much for all of your help. 😄

Re: when I return from Calendar

generally, you need to have something like this in your Paragraphscreen function:

...else if msg.isScreenClosed() then
return <value>


or you'll wind up visually on the previous screen, but still inside the paragraphScreen function.
