I'm guessing that what Chris wants to know is the width of the
trigger that was specified in Constructor. For example, this would be
useful for determining the maximum width of the trigger for text
truncation.
This width is lost, however, when PalmRez is using the tPUT resource
to build the form, as it recalculates the width of the control based
on the control's text.
So I'd suggest setting the control's text to something that gives you
roughly the same width, or positioning an (unused) gadget behind the
popup trigger which has the appropriate width.
