I have found that the built in mail app gets round this one by fiddling with the dynamic attribute of the field during a penDown event. Could someone at PalmSource please tell me the current opinion on accessing the field attributes?
// Restore the dynamiclly resizeable attribute that // was cleared in NewViewGetField to allow drag selection. FldGetAttributes (fld, &attr); attr.dynamicSize = true; FldSetAttributes (fld, &attr); I need to know whether I should continue hacking the non-dynamic field to do what I want (basically checking each keystroke and calculating the new field size), or use the dynamic field and use the above workaround that may break in the future...
