According to the Palm OS Programmers' Companion documentation ...

******
Some applications, such as forms packages, must create their displays at
runtime-it is for applications such as these that the Dynamic UI API is
provided. If you're not absolutely sure that you need to change your UI
dynamically, don't do it-unexpected changes to an application's interface
are likely to confuse or frustrate the end user.
Dynamic user interface objects are subject to the following limitations:

. You cannot create tables or Graffiti Shift indicators.

. You cannot create buttons (or repeating buttons) having frames or non-bold
frames.

*******

Note that there is no documented limitation regarding ScrollBars.  This
omission of a limitation lends credence to the thought that the
FrmAddScrollBar routine (or, whatever) was simply forgotten when the dynamic
UI functionality was added.

>From the tone of your messages here, it appears that we won't be getting any
relief from this limitation.  This forces us to reserve a "template" form
resource containing nothing bug a ScrollBar in an application that currently
has no form resources defined.  Ugly.
