Hi Del, sure you can include structures in structures. AFAIK, it's not
a PalmOS thing, but rather a C thing. As an example, here's a quick
sample from one of my apps, where I declare a couple of structs, then
include them in another struct. Note that the large structure contains
my own structures plus the "TimeType" structure as declared by the
PalmOS headers. Bob
FWIW. Bob
typedef struct {
Boolean on:1;
Boolean override:1;
Boolean overrideV:1;
Boolean vibrate:1;
Boolean unused:4;
UInt8 soundType;
UInt16 vol;
UInt16 pause;
UInt16 speed;
UInt16 hz;
UInt16 stime;
char *name;
} SoundDataType;
typedef struct {
Boolean on:1;
Boolean hrly:1;
Boolean unused:6;
UInt8 days:7;
UInt8 unused2:1;
} ChimeFlagsType;
typedef struct {
UInt16 type;
ChimeFlagsType flags;
TimeType start;
TimeType end;
SoundDataType data[5];
} ChimeType;
Hi,
I am using Metrowerks Codewarrior.
1. Can I create a structure containing other structures that will describe a
large group of engines AND a large group of transmissions? In other words. I
want to describe both the engines and the transmissions with critical
identifiers for inventory. Any chance someone might show me how to code this
for PalmOS? I was thinking I might start with:
Struct TransEng[200]
{
struct motor
{
unsigned hp, displacement, liter;
char[20] manufacturer;
bool works;
}
struct transmission
{
char[20] manufacturer, model;
}
} myinventory;
(Pardon all errors, PLEASE.)
2. Once I create "myinventory", how do I save it? Is it "already saved" once
it is created because I am working directly on the memory it occupies under PalmOS?
Thank you for any responses that serve to make this learning curve less steep
than it feels like at present.
