Re: Add item to Datebook

[Danny Epstein]

The obvious format for an "appointment object" is a vCalendar. This is the
format that's used to beam appointments from/to Palms. If you have the
latest version of Palm Desktop (currently only available for Windows, IIRC),
it should be able to import vCalendar objects. The record will then be
copied to the handheld on the next HotSync. There is currently no way to
directly install a vCalendar into a Palm via a desktop, except that you can,
of course, beam the vCalendar from a desktop or laptop with an IrDA port.

  i think the concern really would be the nature of the application. 
  we are dealing with a system patches here - is this code something
  we really want to be "open" for every palm developer to lay their
  eyes on?

  my idea around this was to keep it open to a select few people,
  if one person cannot continue, *someone* will.. kinda a small
  "open source" community.. app is free, developers working on it
  (5 or 6 or.. whatever [just not everyone])..

  its really something Palm should take over :) make it part of
  the operating system.. it really should have been there from day 1.

I really don't think this is a good idea.  It is not the cost that is issue.
It is the fact that the system is currently closed that is part of the very
problem we are all having with Hackmaster 0.9.  Passing it on to you and
keeping it closed is just a temporary fix -- the same issue will appear
again.  

Having the source available does not make it more likely to have forks
appear.  In fact, the fork has already happened with X-Master.   Similar
utilities have appeared in the past for the same reason.  

There are many projects in the palmos realm alone that have lived on long
past their orignal (and second) maintainers (pilot-link, prc-tools, etc).
Forks or work-alikes are a fact of life in software, but these projects
would have had to been rewritten each time the maintainter took an
indefinite vacation.

Add item to Datebook

[Mark Maslar]

Hi,

Is there an easy way to add an appointment to a user's Datebook? I'd like to
be able to send (e-mail or download) the user a hotsync-able file that would
add the appointment into their Datebook calendar. In essence, I want to
create an "appointment object" that Hotsync can import.

Any ideas? Could the "PalmCall" be used (if so, how), or is something more
like C required?

Thanks!

Yes, it works great!

If you haven't done so already, make sure that your ASP page works correctly
from a computer-based browser (PC, MAC, etc.).
Next, make a simple .htm page like the one below, compile it into a PQA,
install it on the emulator and try it out.

  i would not make it 100% "open freeware". by opening it up, you
  normally end up having forks happen.. and then we get HackMaster,
  TrapMaster etc.. because each person reading the code thinks
  they can take it and under GPL do all the mods they feel like..

  if Ed passed on the HackMaster code to myself, i would setup a

  to making it a standard and keep it closed to that group.

  get someone from Palm on that list.. to worry about future 
  "problems" that can occur with next generation devices etc..
  a single maintainer, but a closed development group (selected)

  now, we just need to bug Ed :)

Here's my vote for an open freeware version of Hackmaster.  Probably
the easiest way to quickly make it stable and also make it a standard.

If you want to change the name so that the work 'hack' won't scare

Install Aid Library q: is there a "blessed" HotSync folder?

[Margaret Becker]

This is a question for both mac and windows.  On a system with more than
one HotSync folder, which folder do the Install Aid Library functions
use?  In other words, is there a "blessed" HotSync folder?

I'm asking because I'm writing a code resource to work with
InstallerVISE on the mac in order to have the installer automatically
place the prc files into the user's install folder. By the time my code
resource gets called, the installer has determined which HotSync folder
to use because it has put up a dialog asking the user to select one
(this is easy to do in the installer). However none of the Install Aid
Library functions take a "start here" or "use this H.S. folder"
parameter ... and all I'm getting (on the mac, anyway) is a nice crash.

On windows I'll have to write a similar thing for InstallShield
(although I can do it using the script language).

I've searched the Knowledge Base, the conduit and palm developer's forum
archives, and, of course, the Install Aid documentation that comes with
the CDKs but have found no information about this.

Has anyone else run into this problem?

Margaret

Palm OS has no support for encrypted communication AFAIK.
A couple of days ago there was a thread on VPN at pilot.programmer.
I bookmarked a few sites which may be of interest to you.

Re: Math library (sin,cos,...)

[DIAMOND JEFF]

Just to point out as well that you can get extremely high accuracy with very little 
memory usage by using the formula:

sine (x + d) = sin(x) cos(d) + cos(x) cos(d);
cosine (x + d) = cos(x) cos(d) - sin(x) sin(d)

You then have one small table for coarse angles (x) and one table for fractions of an 
angle (d).

This method also has the sometimes desirable property that it is infinitely accurate 
in VALUE (without iterations) even though it is

not fully accurate in ANGLE (which often is the value you are supplying and doesn' 
tneed to be as specific.

If you iterate once with a third table of REALLY small values you can easily obtain 
full precision on the angle as well. sin(x + d +
e)

OR -another way  if you need the angle to be exact you can get yourself almost there 
with the above formula and then use a standard
series for sin (d) and cos(d), which will converge quickly because d will be so small:

sin e ~ e
cos e ~ 1 + e2/2

Which gives sine/cosine to an accuracy of e3, so if e < 1/256, you get full float 
precision.

Again, once you pick the accuracy you desire in angle and answer, there's an efficient 
solution.

Now if only logs and exponentials could be this easy!

Cheers!
- Jeff

You do know that FrmReturnToForm doesn't send a frmClose event to your form,
so any cleanup you would normally do there should be done before the call to
FrmReturnToForm.  The only difference between FrmPopUpForm and FrmGotoForm
is that FrmGotoForm posts the frmCloseEvent to the current form before
posting the frmLoad and frmOpen events to the new form.  FrmReturnToForm
kills the active form using FrmEraseForm and FrmDeleteForm, then activates
the topmost form left on the screen.

Re: Help me understand why the 3.5 Debug ROMS fail on certain sets of calls Code.

[Keith Wolcott]

You can't use WinDrawRectangleFrame() until you have set the draw window.  Unless you 
set the draw window in some specific way, it
is usually done by calling FrmDrawForm ( frmP).   Thus you must just be sure to do any 
drawing to the form after calling FrmDrawForm
( frmP).

This is due to a timing bug that we got rid of in release 7.  The dropped

What version of CodeWarrior?  R7 is much improved for debugging large apps.
I helped Metrowerks on this specific problem during the beta and saw it
become very stable.  It works great with my 230K/7seg app under NT4 and

Still having problems with POSE 3.0a8 & debugging

[Chris DiPierro]

On large multi-seg apps (200k), I have to try debugging 3 times to get the
emulator to actually not respond with a timeout or invalid transport error.
This is consistent, every 3rd 'F5' from CW is ok, but the others don't work.

It works for smaller apps, still multi-seg (120k or so)...

It only seems to happen with OS/3.5 ROMS (Palm 7 v3.2 ROMS work ok)

If I go back to 3.0a7, it all works fine.

It happens on 2 PCs, 1 Win NT 4, 1 Win 2k /w the latest plugins, etc.

MenuHideItem() can't hide first item?

[Peter Hebert]

If you try to hide the first item in a menu, it shows up as a blank space on
the menu and you lose the last item on the menu.

I was looking in the OS 3.5 sources and it looks like that the drawing
routine DrawOneItem(), when passed the second item and an offset of zero,
sees the offset zero and tries to calculate the "true" Y offset of where to
draw the first item... which, since it doesn't check the .hidden bit, it
presumes to be the second row instead of the first.

What's annoying about this is that it makes it impossible to create a menu
completely dynamically... if there are no items in it, there is no ID or
constant you can pass to MenuAddItem() to add something to the top of a
menu, and if you do put in a bogus first item, you can't hide it.

This seems like a defect in OS 3.5 to me, but I see nothing in the
Knowledgebase about it.

Peter

Re: Getting hd 0 in PalmDebugger to report app symbols?

[Chris DiPierro]

I suppose, but it's nice to have forms that take up 1/2 the screen and still
show what you were last viewing. For this FrmPopupForm is truly useful. Not
to mention the fact that it doesn't erase the old form immediately like
FrmGoto ... in any event, I'll see about explicitly calling FrmClose/Delete
and see if that helps.

I've always bee a bit suspicious of FrmPopupForm and FrmReturnToForm. 
I remember having problems with them in the past.

The only clean way to guarantee that you don't leave any form 
remnants lying around, IMHO, is to always do a FrmCloseForm, then 
FrmDeleteForm, then FrmGotoForm. If you have to display a dialog, use 
FrmDoDialog.

Yes, seriously.  If Ed is listening, I think it may be time to seriously

Yes, this sounds good.  If the reason for a new name is to make it more

Re: Getting hd 0 in PalmDebugger to report app symbols?

[Chris DiPierro]

Yea it is. I appreciate it.

Ok, here's a question then.

After many Gremlins I see a lot of chunks that are unlocked (#0), owned by
my app (#2) and have 'fM' set on them, each of which is '0x64 requested
bytes' and actually '0x6c alloced bytes"

If I dump the memory they contain, it looks like menu items from various
menus in my application. Unfortunately, this list just keeps growing and
growing. This seems odd because although I do have a bunch of forms and
menus, the navigation between them is purely through FrmGotoForm and
FrmPopupForm coupled with FrmReturnToForm ... according to the docs, both of
these should handle the destruction of menus associated with each form. Yet,
it doesn't seem to be the case because I can see menu items leftover from
old forms when  the app's on a completely different form...

Net 122D error

[Anbin Huang]

Hello everybody,

What does the following error massage mean
'unreachable destination (net 122D)'.
It poped up when I used an emulatoe (Palm )
to request an asp page from my web clipping 
application. I can reach the the same asp page
through the Internet and I can reach the html 
page which located on the same web server
from my web clippiong application.
I have the most recent version of the ROM.

John

No... #15 is the only special one -- the others are just the lock count -- a
0 means that the OS can move the chunk around, #1 through #14 mean that its
locked, and you need that many MemHandleUnlock calls to make it movable
again.

For the owner column, #2 is data your code has allocated.  #0 and #1 are
system allocated memory, but I'm not exactly sure why there are two owners.

Oh, the memory display in PalmDebugger is a little nicer, as it includes
descriptions of a lot of the chunks -- I'm hoping that is implemented on the
Win32 version as well as the Mac.

You would have to write a web server that would FTP a file then send it by
HTTP back to the device.  The Palm VII doesn't support NetLib for
wireless -- everything must be done using HTTP, and you also have issues of
data translation when posting items back to the server to contend with.

Clipping by ASP

[Anbin Huang]

Hello there,

I recently installed a palm emulator and want to convert my web site to the
handheld version. I used asp page as my server side engine. So I created a
very simple web clipping application to try to request a asp page from my
server but it failed with the error message 'unreachable destination (net
122D').
I also included a http link (to a html page) in my wca and it pointed to the
same
site as the asp page did and the html page worked fine.

My question is if the Web Clipping Proxy Server surpport the asp page.

Thanks for advice!

RE: Need Help Getting Web Content To The Palm

[Ward Fuller]

Perhaps way off base, but two ideas come to mind off the top of my head. If
nothing else, maybe they'll give you some ideas:
** Have you considered AvantGo's system?
** Go to Palm's web site and browse through the "enterprise" PQA's. There
were several there last time I looked that seem like they'd do what you
need. One even bragged about being able to access back-end data.

Have fun!

Re: Object Id corrupted

[Michael Klinglesmith]

For the record Keith was able to help me track down this bug.  My code was
miss-using the
FldGetAttributes and FldSetAttributes function calls.

THIS IS THE WRONG WAY:

static inline void NoUnderline(FieldPtr fld)
{
 FieldAttrPtr attrP;

 FldGetAttributes(fld, attrP);
 attrP->underlined = noUnderline;
 FldSetAttributes(fld, attrP);
}

THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY:
static inline void NoUnderline(FieldPtr fld)
{
 FieldAttrType attr;

 FldGetAttributes(fld, &attr);
 attr.underlined = noUnderline;
 FldSetAttributes(fld, &attr);
}

Sending IR Signal

[Thomas Ward]

Hi,

I am investigating an IR application that would only need to send signals.
That is, it's not two way communication, but more like a remote control.
When I read through the documentation, I find lots of referenes to making an
IR connection. Is all this necessary or even possible for a remote control?
Is there a way to simply broadcast data for any device that might be in
range? Any helpful information, sample code, or pointers to applicable
documentation would be greatly appreciated!

INet Palm 7 andd Palm 5

Question and Answer from October that seem to fit my situation. Can

Daniel Schultz
Symmetry Software, Inc.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]


FROM ORIGINAL EMAILS...
FWIW, on the Palm VII wireless internet access is via the INet Library,
not
the conventional network library.  The wireless service is a specialized
use
of a pager system, not a generic TCP/IP connection like the Omnisky.

When you use the network library, the Palm VII is trying to create some
type
of dial-up network connection using the serial port and a (presumably)
non-existent external modem.

Omnisky does ship with a version of the INet library, so if you can make
your application work using the specialized services it should be
portable
to Palm VII.

Good Luck,

I have an application which connects via Palm V (on an

When I am trying to run it on a Palm VII device it

It runs fine on Palm

Shouldn't they

  !!!BUG!!!

I am sure I reported this before but I don't remember when. So here it is.
In all the configurations I tested, neither FntGetFontPtr () nor any related
function such as FntLineHeight () work in my programs [pedit - appl and
LapTopHack - hack].

EXAMPLE.

FontPtr fntP = FntGetFontPtr ();

then fntP->fRectHeight is always 11 and fntP->leading is always 0 no matter
which font I use [built-ins or custom].

FntLineHeight () is also always 11.

Could someone confirm this? I used OS 3.3 and 3.5.

RES: Network HotSync

Hi Alessandro,
   Where could I get the ColdSync ?

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Em nome de

Enviada em: quinta-feira, 18 de janeiro de 2001 23:50
Para: Palm Developer Forum
Assunto: Network HotSync



 I'm trying to setup a Network Hotsync server using Linux and ColdSync.

 The Palm is correctly set up for network hotsync operations
 (i.e. LANSync prefs set to LANsync and Primary PC data filled in).

 On the Pc, the HotSync manager has the "network" item selected.

 When i press the cradle button to start the operation
 the local computer detects that the handheld user
 is a local user and switchs to local hotsync.

 Can this be avoided?

 If i change the user id on the palm, the local computer
 detects he dosn't know anything about this "new" user
 and asks me if i want to create a new user account.

 If i answer yes, it switchs to local hotsync.
 With no, it just cancels the hotsync operation. No traffic
 coming from the local computer can be seen on the LAN wire.


 What i'm doing wrong? The log, even with the -v option,
 doesn't tell anything useful.

C Primitive Type Problem and Bitmap Problem

[Oscar Lee]

Dear All,

I have 2 problems, please help. Thank a lot! ^_^

Question 1
I tried to use the "bool", the C primitive data type, in my CW but it prompt
me for "undefined identifer" error. I have to use "Boolean" instead. But it
seems that the CW can reconize the type "bool" since it change the "bool" to
blue in colour automatically. Why I can't use it?

Question 2
If I have draw a bitmap in Photoshop. How can I load a bitmap to the
Constructor correctly? Also I have tried to resize the
Bitmap Drawing window, i.e from 16*16 to 160*160, the resolution was changed
but the "viewable" area for editing is still very small, which cannot show
the details, how can I change "viewable" editing window to bigger size?

RE: X-Master: successor to Hackmaster

[Linke, Andreas]

Thanks for all the great feedback, both public and private. Many of your
suggestions are implemented now.

> Extensions...
> How about calling them Modifications, Mods for short?  That's 
> all I can
> come up with right now, no creativity going yet this morning.

Hm, Modifications does not sound so good either. Most hacks really improve,
or extend, some functionality. The word modification seems to be too
neutral. 
Is the term "Extensions" marketed to the public, i.e. does the average Palm
user already associate something with Extensions?

Anyone any better ideas?

> And I would hope that X-Master would fail very gracefully if 
> run on a 5.0
> system (i.e. ARM, whatever number we pick)... right? 

David, I'd be delighted to get some PalmOS 5.0 info and/or an emulation
device. Basically, a Hack is really just a locked code chunk and could be
handled in the same way as you'll treat the legacy 68k applications. It all
depends on how you implement SysSetTrapAddress in PalmOS 5.0...
I didn't find anything on the PalmOS web site or in the pavilion, so at the
moment, I really can't ensure 5.0 compatibility (but X-Master runs well on
the 4.0 betas).

If you need me to sign more NDAs, just contact me...

BTW, I really believe that Palm should provide such a trap manager in the
OS. As I try to explain on http://linkesoft.com/english/xmaster/ , using
SysSetTrapAddress in an application, either by Palm, by a licensee or by a
third-party leads to all kinds of trouble unless a central application
maintains the chain of addresses.

Interesting idea, I'll think about it. Then again, there're really a lot of
OS versions out now, and some hacks might also patch hardware-specific
things so just testing the OS wouldn't be too useful. X-Master is a bit like
the launcher, and the launcher doesn't check for OS compatibility either...
Would be best, of course, if the hack developer would test for compatibility
inside its hack.

> Care to have your trap install/remove/calling mechanism 
> sources go through

Sure. If somebody is interested in the sources, just mail me. And of course,
I'd especially appreciate Palm's feedback...

That bug is fixed now. Thanks for pointing this out (you may need to soft
reset once).

> Regarding a better names how about
> "TrapMaster","PatchMaster","TrapMan","TrapManager"

All too technical. The average user may associate different things with
traps and patches...
Mike McCollister suggested "ExMan", for Extension Manager. What do you
think?

>   if he did not have a release out :)) maybe you should bug him
>   as he did have some other ideas for HackMaster II 

>   how about just getting Ed to update his code?

First time I realized that something had to be done to Hackmaster was in May
2000. Users with color devices started complaining that they couldn't find
the Options dialog for our hacks. I contacted Ed and he said he was working
on a new version. Since then, I have contacted him again and again. He
probably got tired of me because he didn't care to answer for the last 6
weeks. 

I was not aware of a 2.0beta (ooops, shouldn't that be 1.0 first?). Could
somebody test if this is compatible with X-Master, i.e. does X-Master take
over from HM2b?

I do not want concurring standards as well, but I really can't _force_ Ed to
come out with a new release. And I believe something has to be done.

>   its much easier to just write a standalone application to do this.

If you need to patch a trap, it really isn't. Your app may run fine as long
as you're the only one who does this. But you never know what else the user
will install...

There's an updated version of X-Master (ExMan?) now at
http://linkesoft.com/english/xmaster/ 
Please try it out.

Many thanks for your feedback,
Andreas

Re: How can i download ROM image from my USB Cradle???

[Lim KS]

I had download my palm ROM image to my pc by using USB Cradle before. seems
like nothing to setup.
I install the program Rom Transfer in the Palm then connect it to cradle. at
the palm, run the ROM transfer program & select the transfer speed
(115200bps)
Than at the PC, I think have to run pose, then select the palm model & etc.
press transfer at PC & Palm, then it will transfer automatically for you.
But you have to make sure your palm desktop is not running/using the cradle.

any problem, let me know.
