Consider this quote, straight from the PalmSource documentation: "Use the field resource to create an editable text field that is either a single-line long or multiple lines long. You can also use the field resource to create noneditable text that is displayed on the form. It is easier to use noneditable text fields instead of labels if the text of the label changes dynamically." http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/docs/constructor/CGR_CatalogRsrcs.html#1013628
Certainly you could be ultra careful to use StrNCopy, have length constants for every label, and add dummy characters to your resource any time you need to use a longer string. However, I think it's safer to use the noneditable field method. If nothing else, consider that at some point, somebody else will take over maintenance of your projects. Will this new maintainer remember to add the dummy character? Adrien.
