Comments

Resource_FillSeriesList() returns two different names for a given resource; the display name (added to a window field specified by dnames_list) and the technical name (added to a list field specified by tnames_list).

If there is no main window for a form, the display name for the form will be “Main Window Missing”.

Be sure the series resource lists are up to date before you use this function. You can use the Series Resources utility in Dexterity Utilities to update series resources.
