Subject: Resource ID limit From: "Mathias Tschopp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 25 May 2004 06:56:50 -0000 X-Message-Number: 50
In the Constructor for Palm OS PDF documentation, it is stated:
All resources are assigned an integer resource ID. For applications, resource IDs should be less than 9999. Resource IDs of 10000 or above are reserved for use by Palm OS.
Is this limit really important ? My application resource is about to break this ceiling (Constructor allows me to create new forms with IDs above 10000), what kind of bug should I expect if it does ?
Is this limit still relevant on Palm OS 5 and 6 ?
Busting through the 10000 ceiling will cause you serious and weird problems.
The limit is certainly relevant to OS5 and (I believe) should be treated as still relevant to OS6, though some extensions to OS6 may invalidate it.
Note: You don't need to start each form on a 100 point boundary, though it is "best practices" to do that.
