What I'm saying is that the whole form at 500, control at 501, control at 502, etc. scheme is due to the Mac OS resource mechanism. Without that, you could have the controls for each form start numbering at 1 without worrying about overlap between forms, since each form has its own control ID space on the device. If you don't have this linkage between form numbers and controls in the form, then 100x spacing just isn't necessary. -- 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/
