I don't really have the answer to your problem, but you've posted this
question so many times, I guess you're desperate. So, I'll tell you what
little I do know.
1. The following code works for me, displaying 8 push buttons that were
previously hidden:
// in MainFormHandleEvent...
case ctlSelectEvent:
frmP = FrmGetActiveForm();
if ( eventP->data.ctlEnter.controlID == MainClickMeButton )
{
FrmShowObject(frmP, FrmGetObjectIndex(frmP, MainAPushButton));
FrmShowObject(frmP, FrmGetObjectIndex(frmP, MainBPushButton));
FrmShowObject(frmP, FrmGetObjectIndex(frmP, MainCPushButton));
FrmShowObject(frmP, FrmGetObjectIndex(frmP, MainDPushButton));
FrmShowObject(frmP, FrmGetObjectIndex(frmP, MainEPushButton));
FrmShowObject(frmP, FrmGetObjectIndex(frmP, MainFPushButton));
FrmShowObject(frmP, FrmGetObjectIndex(frmP, MainGPushButton));
FrmShowObject(frmP, FrmGetObjectIndex(frmP, MainHPushButton));
handled = true;
}
break;
2. On any Palm OS < 3.2, FrmHideObject doesn't set the usable bit false like
it should, so you have to do that yourself (just before calling
FrmHideObject).
What is the precise error that you get when you try to show 8 push buttons?
