The maximum setting of the control.0

DISCUSSION

Your application may use the GetControl32BitMaximum function to obtain a 32-bit value previously set with the function SetControl32BitMaximum.

If your application uses a 32-bit control maximum value, it should not attempt to obtain this value by calling the pre–Mac OS 8.5 function GetControlMaximum or by accessing the contrlMax field of the ControlRecord structure, because the stored 16-bit value will not accurately reflect the current 32-bit control value.

VERSION NOTES

This function is available with Mac OS 8.5 and later.

AVAILABILITY

Supported in Carbon. Available in Mac OS 8.5 and later when Carbon 1.0.2 or later is present.
