What does this word, function, type, statement mean?
I can`t find it in the index nor online.
Thanks, newdebugger

DX1.5: BxAddReference means what?
Oh, oh! I sort of remember this one. It has to do with building a hash-table for the objects. Fortunately, the code for the function is public and is part of the generated code. See the callbacks file for starters. (It isn`t intended that you`d need to call this function yourself; DX generates it so that the output code is more efficient.)
Thanks, dbl (are you Kenton Lee cyberincognito? -)
I couldn`t find any reference to hash-tables in the manuals.
I BXAddReference was also not mentionned in my callback file.
Thanks anyway!

Despite the name this is a function which is only generated by DX.
This function is used becasue Certain widgets that Database Xcessory creates have resources which point to other widgets. When this happens you can either constrain the order inwhich the widgets are created so that they arnt referenced before they are created or you can track the name of the "soon to be" created widgets and the resources they will be asigned to. when the widgets are created the resources are resolved.
I hope that helps
