Hi!
A form in one of my applications has a dual appearance - complete and
simplified. Obviously, the simplified is only a subset of the complete and I
though I can easily arrange the implementation by making a copy of the
full-blown form resource, rearrange it and mark most of the elements that I
don't need hidden or even delete it. Then, with a small change in the
complete form code I expected to have it handle both cases.
Alas, Constructor stops me from doing so: it insists on having unique IDs
for all controls in all resources! Is there an OS-driven reason for that? To
the best of my knowledge there shouldn't be, because the list with form
objects is strictly linked to the form structure itself and therefore could
not interfere with other forms.
Any suggestion for "smart" workaround? I could replace all references to
object IDs in the code with variables that I would initialize first, but I
don't like that. I could also modify the code of the full-blown form to
dynamically rearrange itself, but don't like this either - actually, it
already does something similar and another layer on top of it would make
complete mess.
Help!
Thanks,
Bobby
