hi,
10x u helped me very much.
about the last things u wrote in your re email (above):
the
const char *description; // opens another window for free text
is ment to be a field the when i press the line near it (on the device
screen) it should open a new window, where the user can add free text.
on the device it looks like this: (below the word is the resources i
used with CW constructor)
Description: _________
label resource
i don't know in what resource i shuold use so that when i press it a new
window will pop up and the user can enter his free text. so if u have
advise plz tell me (in what resource from constructor should i
use???)???
near the labe should appear the first four words the user enter in the
free-text-window.
ex.:
if i entered in the free-text-window the text
all the people in the world r one of a kind. (don't put atantion to this
santance, i made it up)
we see on the device near the description label:
all the people in...
my Q is:
what should be the definition type of the description in my structure?
how to i connect this varible to be save with all the other fields to my
form database (which u know how it looks from the last msg)?
hanks for your time, hope to hear from u soon and a happy new year (i'm
from israel and we celebrated the new yeat in this week)
bye :-)
