Whoops, I meant FrmGetFormPtr(), not FrmGetObjectPtr(). Me bad.
(Didn't notice that I typed that until I read your reply...I've been
doing documentation all morning and I'm feeling my soul being drained
away)
=)
Here's what I'm using as GetObjectPtr():
static VoidPtr GetObjectPtr( Word objectID )
{
FormPtr frmP;
frmP = FrmGetActiveForm( );
return (FrmGetObjectPtr( frmP, FrmGetObjectIndex( frmP, objectID)));
}
It's more of a convienience function.
