I don't think the problem is stuffing a string into the selector that might
draw off the end of the selector's viewable area. The big problem is
stuffing more characters into the selector than you entered in constructor.
Set the length of the selector by typing some text until you reach the max #
or characters you plan to ever enter (add 1 for good measure). When your
app copies a string into the selector, be sure to limit the size to the
number of text chars you already entered via constructor. I never was able
to successfully resize a selector and not cause some sort of memory problems
down the road. (at least in OSs 3.0, 3.1 and 3.3)

Subject: RE: More weirdness
I've actually managed to replicate the problem now :), but I'm still a bit
confused (no change there). The problem seems to occur when the program
tries to set the label of a selector resource to a string that is *too*
long.
But what is the definition of 'too long'? What I can't work out is whether
there is a built-in limit on the size of the selector label or whether it's
because the label is being written off the screen.
Any ideas and/or ideas on how I best truncate the label? Also, the error
message (Object not in form) would seem a bit misleading in this case.
Regards,
John.

Is this the only scenario that causes this error?
I get this same error message intermittantly in my app. I've checked + I'm
referencing all form objects correctly.
Also, the message only seems to appear on my Palm III, i.e. I can't
replicate on Pose. It's driving me up the wall.

of course we have.. obviously, your object you are refering to is NOT in
the form you are passing as an argument to FrmGetObjectPtr()
:)
check your code, and make sure you have a form reference to the correct
form. :) it is a bug.. but it is yours :P not prc-tools :P you can post the
snippet of code here and we will be able to fix it up for you.
be sure to post the .rcp and .c snippets.. we want to make sure your
object you are referencing is actually being declared in the form
structures in the .rcp file :P
cheers.
