Re: Can new label be written to pointer returned by CtlGetLabel() ?

Ben, thanks for the quick reply. Actually, that's why I DON'T want to use CtlSetLabel; I don't want the button width to change. (I read in the PalmOS Reference that CtlSetLabel will change the control's width.) So, why go through the hassle of saving and re-setting the button's bounds, if I

Paul, Is the Tungsten T5 Simulator same as the OS 5.4 simulator ? Device specific simulators are released by the vendor, not by PalmSource. So in the case of the T5, you need to obtain it from palmOne. It is available free to those registered in the palmOne plugged in program. See

Tam, but I don’t quite get why you cannot put more than one record into one sector! I interpreted Ben's comments simply to mean it was a performance optimization decision by palmOne, not a technical constraint. I don’t actually think that the sector is much bigger than 1k. Based on the growth

Although I know there are opinions all over the map, there has never been a concrete, universal reason not to use extremely small records in PDBs until now. Taken literally, I'd agree that small records was not so much the problem as large record counts. IMHO, the definition of large in this
