I'm relatively new to Palm programming, and one of the projects I've done is a little utility used by me and maybe a couple of other people. It displays a modal dialog in the middle of the display, about 3/4 the width and the height of the full diplay. Also, it's a 68000 app if that matters.
It runs fine on a real device, but the emulator is always telling me that the modal dialog must be full width. I can't say that I understand the reason for this. Can someone educate me?
The Palm OS UI model says that dialogs are always the full width of the screen and bottom justified. This makes it simpler to redraw the screen if dialogs are stacked on top of each other, and it keeps the displays consistent.
