As Marco said in the Palm everything is in byte except
when specified otherwise.
The best way to know how big is your record, is to
impose the user a fixed size.
Lets say you want to make a record out of this
Field: Name
Field: Last Name
List: Occupation
Checkb: Registered
well then make yourself a fixed size struct like that
struct DataRecord
{
char Name[40];
char LastName[40];
byte Occup;
byte Regis;
};
And use the MaxSize property of the field to Allow a max char of 39
( you musn't forgot the \0 at the end of your string... )
Then use sizeof( DataRecord ) to get the size of the struct
