The plot thickens...
Not thinking, I decided to piggyback the form ID in the charPtr of the list
object. But guess what, you can't retrieve the list pointer because
FrmGetActiveForm returns NULL within the draw call back!!! (I'm was
attempting to preserve the list of entries by adding/modifying only one)
So I guess within a draw callback and on OS 3.3+ I can't get any object
pointers because FrmGetActiveForm only returns NULL. All works well with OS
< 3.1. I've even wrote a simple app with a button and list and get the same
results.
Whats an engineer to do?
