Members,
I'm fairly new to Palm programming and brand new to CodeWarrior. I started
writing Palm apps with CASL which allowed me to get my feet wet but then I
started running into limitations. I bought CodeWarrior 9 and have been
hitting the books pretty hard. My C skills are a bit rusty but
I have a Code Warrior / Constructor based application which is quite large.
I need to convert it to support EFIGS + Dutch Languages.
It is highly preferable that my application has user selectable language (on
the fly) and consists of only one file. The size of my application is not
important as

Couldn't you make your own scrolling?
A procedure could be:
1. When the user types a character check the the number of characters in the
field.
2. If the field is full save the field text to a variable.
3. Set the field text to be a substring of the user input.
You could make two scroll buttons
