Re: Load Field object from tStr?

[David Orriss Jr]

After talking with a far more advanced Palm developer than myself he 
suggested some changes that stopped all the nasty fatal crashes I was 
having...  (Thanks to him again).  I've taken the code that updates the 
field and isolated it into it's own routine, and changed the code to 
pull the tStr to this:

static Boolean LoadVersionHistory (FormPtr form) {
  MemHandle        hRsc;
  Char*            pRsc;
    ClearFieldText(fldHist);
            // Get a reference to the tSTL resource.
  // This resource is created when you make a
  // "String List" in constructor.
  hRsc = DmGetResource( 'tSTR', string_versionHistory );
  if ( hRsc ) {
      pRsc = MemHandleLock( hRsc );
      SetFldTextFromStr( fldHist, pRsc );  //put your field update code 
here..
      MemHandleUnlock( hRsc );
      DmReleaseResource( hRsc );
  }      return true;
}
