My solution would solve this issue. For example, when the dialog closes, you get a frmUpdate, rather than redrawing, add a unique custom event at end of queue.

So when you get the WinRedraw you should also post the unique custom event at end o queue, which will remove the previous event from queu. So when all is done, it will only be handled once.

Re: non-standard font alignment
Just call the following function to center the object.
You will have to call FrmDrawForm
when done.
void CenterObject(FormType * formP, UInt16 objectID)
{
RectangleType rect, rectForm;
UInt16 objIndex = FrmGetObjectIndex(formP, objectID);
FrmGetObjectBounds(formP, objIndex, rect);
FrmGetFormBounds(formP, rectForm);
rect.topLeft.x = (rectForm.extent.x - rect.extent.x) / 2;
FrmSetObjectBounds(formP, objIndex, rect);
}

Re: DB question, searching
It seems that you have this Palm database thing all confused. The Palm database system has nothing to do with the standard database of Access or the like, other than it is a collection of records. The PdbTools you are using, I believe is meant for the db program, which is a free database program for the Palm. There are also commercial database programs available for the Palm (JFile for example). If that is good enough for you, just use that, and you don't have to program at all, just set up your database format. If you want to custom create a program, then you will have to custom create the database format, and use a Desktop Palm Database Creator tool like PRC or the like. Also you should note that every record in the Palm Database wastes around 18 bytes, so that is another reason to limit the number of records. In any case it may be better using a Resource type database, and using one Resource type for Words and index, and another for definitions. You might have to write some scripts on your desktop to create the files.

Re: display menu/list in another application
Never touch a different applocatiion's resources. You are asking for trouble. What you should do is create a Form the size of the list you want (with no title), create a list in that form at coordinates 0,0 and popup the form. You can create the form and list dynamically, with FrmNewForm LstNewList for maximum usability. Set the Form to SaveBehind, so that there will be no need to redraw.

Re: ZLib without globals?
Here is the code I used.
The commented-out code is code that we changed in second version. Don't

zCompressLevel--; // Try smaller compression

if (err)// All levels have failed, so exit
return err;
Err myCompress(UInt8 * dest, UInt32 * destLen, const UInt8 * source, UInt32
sourceLen, Int16 memoryLevel)
{
_err = 0;
//_err = ZLibcompress2(ZLibRef, dest, destLen, source, sourceLen,
memoryLevel);
// Some versions of ZLib work this way, others that way. Beats me.
//if (_err _err != Z_MEM_ERROR)
{
z_stream stream;
UInt16 level = (memoryLevel * 2) + 1;
if (level 9)
level = 9;

As for globals, what we did (in a differrent situation), is change 'ZLibRef'
from an UInt16 to a Macro which calls a function which returns the value from a
feature memory, which is set when we start the library
like this. (The code was copied for use from a different library using search
replace, so there might be some errors.)

return (UInt16)value;
}
static void setZLibRef(UInt16 refNum)
{
UInt32 value = (UInt32)refNum;
if (refNum == sysInvalidRefNum)
FtrUnregister (appFileCreator, featureNumberZLibRef);
else
FtrSet(appFileCreator, featureNumberZLibRef, value);
}

Re: ZLib without globals?
Using SysLibFind many times is a waste of resource, since it calls SysCompare multiple times. What you should do is store the reference value as a feature. In addition you should store in a different feature a Boolean value if you loaded the library, for you should only unload it if you were the one to load it. As for the compression bug, I believe I posted a long time ago a bug in certain builds of the library, and I had posted a workaround. (There are 2 methods to call, one works with some builds fails with the other, and one works with the other fails with the first). If you don't find the post, let me know, and I will search my files.

You should unlock the category ptr brfore setting the name. Also you do not

In any case you should rather code this way without directly accessing the

char name[dmCategoryLength];

WinScreenLock question
In my application I have to draw a form, make it active, but I don't want it to be visible. So I do the following WinSaveBits WinScreenLock FrmInitForm FrmSetActiveForm FrmDrawForm WinRestoreBits WinScreenUnlock It works fine, I am just wondering why I am doing 2 copies of the screen, as WinScreenLock also creates a second Window. Maybe I can somehow copy back from the original Screen Window, to the new Screen Window, thus not needing WinSaveBits? Also, WinScreenLock is supposed to return a pointer to the new draw screen, but though it works, it seems to return a NULL pointer on the simulator. Or, maybe there is a complete different and simpler method to get the same results that I need?
