Is there an upper boundry to the number of forms a Palm
application can have. Are there issues if I exceed some
certain number of forms?
Are you talking about a limit on the number of forms you
can have defined in an app or a limit on the number of
forms you can have open at once?
My guess is there is virtually no practical limit on the
number of forms you can have defined. They're just
resources, and as I understand it, when you open a form,
it just reads the resource to determine what kind of
in-memory data structure to create and the resource is
involved in no other way. In fact, it seems like theoretically
you should be able to create form resources on the fly if
you really needed to.
As for the number open at once, I believe the set of forms
that are open is managed as a linked list that acts as a
stack. So, I wouldn't think there would be much of a
limit to that either, except that each form will use
memory, and Palm OS devices have limited memory available,
so for that reason it would be unwise to have too many
forms open at once.
How many forms are you talking about? Like 10 or 20? Or
hundreds? Thousands?
