Re: problems with FrmRemoveObject

[Jennifer Fell]

Well, the list object uses the pointer to the control, so that should be 
removed first I suppose. However, I tried that as well, but still didn't 
work. (I also tried setting the popup label to null) so that it does not 
point to the text of the list object. One thing is clear, it is the removal 
of the list object that causes the crash. Thanks anyway.

Regards,
Jenni

Well, I found the following suggestions for the problems that occur when 
removing objects using FrmRemoveObject function.
- Removing them in the reverse order they have been added (LIFO 
sequence).
- If an object has to be removed from the middle, then that should be 
hidden first using FrmHideObject and then the FrmRemoveObject function 
should be applied.

These suggestions really worked for me, but only for the Simulator with 
OS 5.3. I tried them on the Emulator with OS 4.1.2 and on a Tungsten T3 
PDA; they didn't work.
For while I'm creating only labels dynamically, and it's working fine. 
Thanks for your advice, I'll certainly remember your pain before playing 
with dynamic objects again.
I imagine that you are tired of doing strange tests, but... I saw that 
you're removing first the list and then the popup. I'd try to remove first 
the popup and then the list. The popup may have some pointer referencing 
to the list object internally, while the list probably doesn't know about 
the popup. Who knows what happens in the OS layer when you call 
FrmRemoveObject... just another shot in the dark.
