I have an app that does nothing BUT create dynamic forms. I just got used
to rewriting the labels of the controls after the form was drawn. I don't
see any other issues from doing things this way. It works very well now.

Ok, I took a look at the code (it's about 2 years old), and here's what it
seems to be doing...
The design is that there is a blank form on which buttons are added with
CtlNewControl. The actual data describing the form is in a database, and
the user can add/delete/change/move buttons and specify

Ben,
I have what appears to be a solution, at least for the way I use dynamic
controls. After adding/deleting a control, the entire form is redrawn. As
part of the redraw, all labels are read, and compared to the database.
Sometimes this comparison fails, in which case the label is rewritten fro
I already re-use popup triggers for several lists. My dialog has 3 tabs, so it
all makes sense ad it's not overcrowded. I guess I'll have to take this one
dialog out of the Constructor file and compile its text export with PilRC...
IIRC, this works with CW 8.3 and the latest PilRC plugin.

Are some dynamic controls type safer than others under Palm OS 3.x? Popup
triggers maybe? I could re-arrange them if this is a
solution.
