I hid the title because that's what the Palm OS Reference recommends under
the write-up for FrmSetTitle. It states,
"This function redraws the title but does not erase the old one first. If
the new title is shorter than the old one, the end of the old title will
still be visible. To avoid this, you can hide the title using FrmHideObject,
then show it using FrmShowObject, after using FrmSetTitle."
The Palm OS Reference just wasn't clear about how to get the title index.
Thanks for the quick response.
Regards,
Steve

You're hiding the title?
What a weird thing to do.
Today 0 will always be the index of the title... and as far as I know
there's no programmatic way to get the resource ID for the title. So
you're pretty much stuck with hardcoding 0.
