Ok, I've solved my own problem. It seems that a record may have a unique ID with a maximum of 24 bits (i.e. 16777215), despite passing in a UInt32. So annoying...and the only place in the documentation to find it is by looking at the SortRecordInfoType structure to find that the uniqueID is an

Drawing list dynamically

Hi all, I am trying to draw a list dynamically on top of an existing table. The operating system is v3.5 so is it correct that the resource ID of the list should be less than that of the table so it will be drawn above it? Currently I am creating the list and it is displaying on the screen, b

Creating own keyboard

Alternatively, is it possible to find the coordinates of the 'abc' and '123' buttons on the screen? I have seen that it is possible to find the numeric and alpha graffiti areas, so perhaps is it possible that the 'abc' and '123' are always a specific size depending on their graffiti areas? Che
