this is constructor at work. it automatically assigns id's like this.
just look at the header file for your resources. its not forced in
palmos, but, in codewarrior when combined with constructor :)
i learnt this lesson by trying to port a prc-tools project to codewarrior
using constructor.. what a mess.. better to go from constructor --> pilrc
in that direction. it also has a crazy way of defining the constant
values ({formname}Form{controlname}Button) etc..
thank god for the pilrc plugin! *all hail god neil*
its good practice to stay in the 0..10000 range, and, dont re-use id's
- that way you will stay out of trouble.
