Hi Roger,
I agree with whatever you have said, this might not work
with the next major release. But what is the next major release supposed
to give to enable us to change frame attributes? Palm talks about the
glue functions, but I have failed to locate anything there. Surely Palm
will not remove a facility that that they have given to us till right
now. That would be absurd. They have to provide some method or call to
change frame attributes dynamically. If that is not the case then all
the old applications written earlier will need major changes to run on
new devices.
Besides since Palm has defined all these attributes they
must also provide the means and methods to use them. If you know the
method please post them here. It will be a lot of help to us all.
;-) Cheers,
Sajul
Ps- I did not understand how exactly the code will fail. I am copying
the structure to a temp variable and making changes to the temp variable
and assigning the temp values to the old structure variable. Is the
structure protected? If it is why does it not give any warning on the
emulator? It does give a warning if I directly change the frame
attribute of the struct variable.
