Even with PilRC Designer, you're using the PilRC compiler for CodeWarrior, and it has the limitation of not being able to do square buttons either because it converts the RCP file to a Rez file, and for forms, Rez isn't more expressive then Constructor, since they both get funneled through the PalmRez post linker. > So I guess my question is, what is the easiest, most straight forward way to > create decent resource files? Constructor works well for apps that follow Palm's user interface guidelines. You can do more using user-drawn controls. PilRC, either manually or through an editor like PilRC Designer, is another option, but not significantly more powerful. -- Ben Combee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CodeWarrior for Palm OS technical lead Get help at http://palmoswerks.com/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
