(defun c:1_OnClicked (/)
(progn
(dcl_Form_Close SarensOutriggerCoOrdinates_SaOutrigger)
(setq insertpoint (getpoint "\npick Known Northing/Easting Point: "))
(dcl_Form_Show SarensOutriggerCoOrdinates_SaOutrigger)
)

Any suggestions?

You need to call Form_Close from your OnClicked handler, then immediately return. Your code that calls Form_Show to intially show the form should handle the point pick and re-opening the dialog after the initial Form_Show returns. There are samples of this in the help file and here in the forums, but I don't have a ready link.

Hi,

it took me a while until I've found but finally I got it. You can find here a codesnippet (http://www.opendcl.com/forum/index.php?topic=557.msg2519#msg2519). It's part of the German help (http://www.opendcl.com/HelpFiles/index.php?lang=DEU&page=Concepts/Development.htm).

HTH, Fred
