I was just looking at the 3.5 SDK and notices that FrmSetTitle has the
prototype
void FrmSetTitle (FormType *formP, Char *newTitle)
and I was wondering why this wasn't
void FrmSetTitle (FormType *formP, const Char *newTitle)
since my understanding is that the title string should never be written by
the form code. Its not a big problem, it just makes me do a little const
casting in one of my routines. I can understand that the real issue is that
a FormTitleType has a "Char *", not a "const Char *" as its text member, but
I'd rather the cast occur below the OS covers than above them.
On that same topic... any chance of a future SDK having FrmGetObjectPtr
return a "FormObjectType" rather than the current "void *". Effectively its
just a prototype change, but it would make the intent clearer, and avoid
ugly C++ casting, since you could use the union member to get at the
appropriate pointer type.
