Re: Strange Error
Ben Combee [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote This sort of problem won't produce an error immediately, but will cause your code to fail the next time it (or the system) tries to use that chunk so it's almost certain that the bug that's causing this problem has already occured by the time you get to this line of code. Memory BTW, the Metrowerks team is able to start talking about some of the features in the new CodeWarrior for Palm OS V8 release coming next month. One of them that would help a lot in situations like this is watchpoint support. We worked with Keith to get a single virtual watchpoint added to POSE 3.3; the CW debugger knows how to set it. Once its set, any write the to data being watched will trigger a break into the debugger. This can help you find out where a piece of data is being corrupted -- you see corruption the first time, restart the program, Now *that's* something I'd pay for (once I get over the pain of paying US$350 for an incomplete environment). Now if we can work out why I've got this intermittent target not registered problem I'll be really happy.

Problem with pilrcui
Hi, After installing pilrc-2.8p7 on the Redhat GNU/Linux 7.1, it seems that works, but pilrcui crashes when I try to open a rpc file, with the error message: pilrcui: plex.c:99: PlexGetElementAt: Assertion `i pplex-m_iMac' failed. Aborted (core dumped) What does it mean? and what shall I do now? Another problem, when I try to compile the pilrc's example, it wants SDK 3.5, but I have 4.0, do I need every version of SDK installed? Aren't they backward compatible?

Re: I hate to say I told you so but.
Recently, Gary Gorsline [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What I would really like to see is a good, proven development system that provides for the development of software products that would (with little or no extra work) run on the many platforms (Palm OS, Palm OS with hardware variants (larger screens, more colors, etc), PPC, iPAQ, Jornada, etc). I have heard of some of these, but I'm not seeing (but I am not saying I am right - as many times I'm wrong) any IDE that comes from a known company, financially stable, has lots of customers, etc. How about AppForge, from http://www.appforge.com/ ? AppForge allows you to create cross-platform applications using Visual BASIC as an IDE, which (last I checked) comes from a known company, financially stable, has lots of customers, etc. :-) -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
Internal clock
Is there an unchangeable (other than by hard reset) internal clock that an application can make use of in order to allow dispersal of information a certain amount of time after the user performs an action? I am interested in writing an app where the user would enter a code, and some amount of time later (say 30 minutes), a piece of information would become available. If I just look at the time set by the user, then clearly, the user could just change the time to 30 minutes later to make the information available instantly. Is there perhaps an accessible clock that just gives seconds since the last reset? If so, there would be no way for the user to speed up delivery of the information (they could slow it down by performing a reset, but that can be dealt with). I would appreciate any information.

Alliance program Hardware discount
I just went to the Hardware Discount listing in the Resource Pavilion to order a IIIc for a color app I'm doing for a client only to find that the 500, 505 and VIIx are on the list. Has anyone else noticed this on the list or it is just me. Not to be paranoid or anything, but could I have been downgraded as a developer or something? ;) The IIIc and many others were on the list just last week...

Re: I hate to say I told you so but..
From: Scott Herman : [...]We are NOT the market. We like the elegance of our cute little bundled apps and data, and that tight binding works well for consumers using the appliance model, where the device is an appliance designed to fulfill a specific need. However the market perception of what these things are is changing. They are no longer just electronic organizers. They are now becoming thought of as Hand Held Personal Computers. [...]The point that Michael is making is that if Palm wants to continue to be a force in the handheld market it must provide what the market wants. Palm is relying, in large part on US, the developers, to provide what the market wants. They are also relying on us to tell them what we need, in terms of the OS, in order to deliver what the market wants. We, as developers, have alot invested in OS stability. We will tend to resist the changes that the market demands. We must get OUR heads out of the sand and talk to more users. [...] I have got the feeling that the distance between Palm and the market is progressively increasing. That is even more true here in Europe, where the installed base is smaller, so that fewer people have enough experience to decide what is right and what is wrong. A large part of the problem is market education. Most of us are convinced of the qualities of the Palm OS Platform. However, lots of people don't know about PDAs when they buy their first one. And guess what? They buy the one with more MHz, more MB, more pixels, more colors, more applications, simply because they feel more secure (and also sometimes because the salesperson gets more money from a $700 sale than from a $500 one). They also buy the machine they read about in the magazines. And magazines love to talk about machines with bells and whistles rather than simple ones (and also sometimes because the supporter of the machine buys lots of ads). That is why I really believe that everyone has to make an effort to make market education better. Explain to users why less is more, instead of simply stating it. -- Denis. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
Re: Alliance program Hardware discount
Has anyone else noticed this on the list or it is just me. Not to be paranoid or anything, but could I have been downgraded as a developer or something? ;) After 6 full weeks of trying to log in, I managed to find the right person to look into my Pavilion issues, and now upon logging in, see the same three handhelds you see. No cradles, no cradle parts, no connectors, no other handhelds. Not a conspiracy, must be overly excessive inventory on those items. /d -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
RE: password doubt---- not masking the password.
Hi friends, A big thanks to Dave, David A. Desrosiers, Bradly J. Barton and P. Alan Johnson. So the bottom line is not to mask the password. Lol. :-) Thanks Prasanth -- From: Dave Lippincott [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 21, 2001 8:52 PM To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: Re: password doubt Show the password on the screen, don't mask it. The input methods are not accurate enough to prevent mistakes. Besides, the Palm is small enough so no one should be looking over your shoulder. or write your password dialog complete with numeric/alphanumeric buttons so the user doesn't use the built-in keyboard or graffiti.

But in text field, the characters We type will be echoed. Do we have any simple method for echoing asterisks(*) in a text field. By taking Keydown event and using setText() is a difficult task. Do we have a simple way of doing this?
