It seems that if I use LstDrawList() and >ListEraseList(), the list never shows up.
Use FrmShowObject and FrmHideObject to change the visibility of the list, at least if your code is running on Palm OS 3.5 or later. If its running on an older OS, just directly tweak things as you've done. You might need to write your own glue routines which you compile using different settings (like non-strict headers) to do this. -- Ben Combee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CodeWarrior for Palm OS technical lead Palm OS programming help @ www.palmoswerks.com -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
