A user of one of my apps reports that "sometimes when I change from [one
program option to another] the
dialog box where it should say OK says OQ. Very weird....but I can
duplicate it time and again...."
I have never seen this behavior in testing with millions of gremlins, on any
ROM, or on my Palm V or my Palm VII.
The way the program option is changed is in response to a popSelectEvent.
For example, to switch to "smart" mode:
if ( eventP->data.popSelect.selection == SMART )
{
// put SmartStrString resource into a global var, declared Char
gString[100];
SysCopyStringResource( gString, SmartStrString );
if ( FrmCustomAlert( NewGameAlert, gString, NULL, NULL ) == NewGameOK )
// set a few globals and redraw the main form (with FrmGotoForm)
StartNewGame( 1, SMART );
}
// etc.
The OK button he refers to is on the custom alert. (The alert has only ^1;
no ^2 or ^3 so in theory it is safe to pass in NULL for the unused params.)
The alert displays "Do you want to start a new game in ^1 mode?" and has an
OK and a Cancel button.
So far, the only guesses I have about what is causing this are:
1) Some hack on his Palm is messing things up, or
2) His Palm needs a reset to clear up corrupt memory, or
3) (I hope not, but maybe) I am doing something nasty somewhere else which
over-writes the form. (So far, I haven't found any such errors in the code.)
Does anybody have any other ideas/suggestions?
TIA
