Hi, Does anybody has an example of functions that make dissappear form elements with scrolling actions. Regards, Jorge Vásquez

Thanks Doug, Repeating buttons are the ones that appear with a top and bottom arrow. I have seen them in lots of apps. They are mentioned in Lonnon R. Foster´s excelent book: "Professional Palm OS Programming (pag 22)" and they also appear in PODS´ resource editor. I probably didn´t made myself clear, I want to design a form that has more input fields than can be put into a 160x160 screen so I definitely have to use some sort of scrolling mechanism. The most relevant idea here isn´t the type of scrolling (both scrollbars and repeating buttons achieve this purpose ) mechanism that I end up using but how to implement it. I have tried with the resource Editor but its impossible so I'm starting to think that the only possibility that I have is to generate all the form from code but this is where I am kind of lost. I have no idea on how to implement this, how to generate the form from code and integrate it with scrolling actions, and show/hide elements according to scrolling events sent by the user, how can I control the rendering area to assure that it doesn´t exceeds 160x160 or does somehow Palm takes care of this for me? In general this seems to be a very complex issue 'cause believe me, I spent almost half day googling for examples without success. If anybody can help me with an example or clearing the FUD for me I´ll be really thankful.
