it has been discussed here many times (with solutions and lots of
details in problems) that palm's dynamic ui functions are very
unreliable. for example removing ui elements is guaranteed to fail if
removing anything but the last element. consider creating the list as
hidden at design time, and hi
how can i relate with the event handler to do the following job in my
function...
*
setFieldText(8001," /*some text print out here*/ ");
if( event->eType == ctlSelectEvent )
{
FrmGetActiveForm();
//a button was clicked
where is your event handler you set for the custom form?

I've found the way how it works stable on PalmOS 4.0.
On FrmLoadEvent a dynamic form and its UI must be created.
On frmOpenEvent program just draw the form, no dynamic UI creation.
Hope my experience will be useful for anyone who works with it.

What do you mean "archives"?
Is it PalmOS Companion?
In my code PalmOS 4.0 operates by invalid Form pointer,
that leads to its crash, with message "Memory Managed data access"

Anton definitely explained this; you have a choice of doing links as a
button or as plain text. I prefer the button because you can use all
the Form Manager tricks (setting position, show/hide, redraw if you need
it), and because it behaves, by default, like the Web Clipping
links. There are do

If you're going to use WinDrawChars, yeah, but if you want to use a
frameless button, you need to define the font, I think?

You have to define an underlined font. Why there isn't one included with
the OS, I'll never know. Look up something like Pilot Font Editor, which
will allow you to load a font resource, edit the characters, and save
it, and then you can use FntDefineFont to load it. There's also a PRC

Nope...none of you is right, I believe. To start with, there is no
difference between

LstNewList((void**) frmP, 5011, 10, 40, 100, 40, stdFont, 2, 0);

Oops, I did mean penUpEvent and penDownEvent. I am returning false, but
isn't the form event handler the last one in the chain anyway? Or is the
