How to detect Hard Key press event?
Hi all, In my application I want to do specific tasks on pressing 6 Hard Keys of the palm without launching default applications (addressbook, memopad, todo list etc.). Say incrementing one counter on pressing each key. How can detect that event and launch my own code on that event? Is is possible with keyDownEvent?

You just need to make sure that you check for this event first before calling SyshandleEvent, so you might have to modify your event loop. -- Daniel Seifert [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
idling and replacing brightness dialog
Hi, a merry christmas to all. While I am still tryinging to port one of my hacks to PalmOS 5, I really encounter lots of stuff I can't seem to do on PalmOS 5 which worked fine with hacks on PalmOS 4 :-( In the hope that I don't see the obvious and that somebody here might help me out, here's the list: * I need to get to know the idle time of the user (more detailed, when it reaches a certain value). On PalmOS 3 and 4 I'm using globals to see how many ticks the last user event was ago. On PalmOS 5 these globals don't work anymore and I don't see any substitute. I thought about using the sysNotifySleepRequestEvent and setting the auto-off timeout to my treshold value, but this would probably not work because I would have to defer the sleep all the time. Is there some way to get to know the idle time? The OS needs to store it somewhere after all, unfortunately the PalmOS 5.0 source code doesn't seem to be out (yet?). * I also need to get to know when the idle time returns to zero, but I think this can be done by registering for sysNotifyEventDequeuedEvent and checking whether there are any user events. A more subtle approach would be better, of course :) * Next, I want to replace a system dialog (the brightness dialog). I'm registering for sysNotifyEventDequeuedEvent and check whether the brightness icon is pressed. If this happens, it brings up my own dialog. Unfortunately, afterwards the actual brightness dialog will be displayed as well. Is there some way to tell the OS to stop processing this event? (I set handled to true in the notification structure, but it didn't help) * For the previous point I also tried to use another notification called sysNotifyVirtualCharHandlingEvent. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to receive the virtual char for the brightness icon, at least not on the Tungsten T (I suspect that has to do with my question from yesterday where I noted that instead of vchrBrightness (0x122) the Tungsten T uses 0x502). Most frustratingly I know that I can stop the processing of virtual characters with this notification by setting handled to true :-( Thanks in advance for any help. I'm rather clueless at the moment on how to proceed, as at least knowing the idle time is a crucial part of my application. -- Daniel Seifert [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
SDK 5.0 - Problem with hi density bitmaps (codewarrior)
Hi guys, (it's a second try - I am a bit desperate...) I am having a problem with the double density bitmaps. I have updated to SDK 5.0 and to constructor 1.8. I have added the a double density bitmap to a bitmap family, in the right order (double density after normal density), but when I try to compile I get an error from the linker: PalmRez Error: tbmf 1000: invalid data structure version. Compilation halted. I updated to the SDK 5.0 according to the instructions in the readme file (manually, since the installer did not recognize the codwarrior installation) and triple checked everything, and verifies that the Linker is of version 4.7 (may 2002). Please help, I ran out of options, and already spent 3 days trying to find what the problem is. Thanks Amir -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
Copying a resource... (again?)
Hmm. Are people ignoring me, or do my messages not get through. Either way,
Shaw Cable sucks. ;) I really do need help with this problem...

Subject: Copying a resource...
Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2002 22:44:40 -0800
From: Matthew Bevan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: Palm Developer Forum [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm trying to copy a resource from my main application into a sattelite file,
that way I can leave the new file open without needing to worry about
conflicts with the rest of my resources (it's bad when you try to hotsync and
it opens a window from my app ;)
What's the best way to do this? What I currently have apparently removes the
resource from existence.
DmOpenRefappRsrc, iconRsrc;
SleepEventParamType *data;
Err error;
MemHandleCommandBarIconH;
01 FtrGet ( appCreator, 2048, (UInt32 *)iconRsrc );
02 if ( iconRsrc ) DmCloseDatabase(appRsrc);
03 error = DmCreateDatabase(0, QBSharedIcons, appCreator,
iconDbType, true);
04 iconRsrc = DmOpenDatabaseByTypeCreator (
iconDbType, appCreator, dmModeReadOnly );
05 if ( !error ) {
06CommandBarIconH = DmGetResource ( bitmapRsc, BarBackupAllBitmap );
07DmAttachResource (
iconRsrc, CommandBarIconH, bitmapRsc, BarBackupAllBitmap+3 );
08 }
09 FtrSet ( appCreator, 2048, (UInt32)iconRsrc );
- Lines 1 and 2 check for the existance of an already open icon database.
- Line 3 creates a new icon database. Yes, I don't check to see if the file
exists because the OS already does ;)
- Line 4 opens either the newly created database, or the previous one.
- Line 5 checks to see if the database was created.
- If the database was created, line 6 gets a handle to the bitmap in my
application. Line 7 attempts to attach that handle to the new database.
Can you not have one handle in multiple databases? It'd be spiffy, but I
could see why they wouldn't like me to do this...
- Line 9 copies the pointer to the open resource file so I can check later.
Ideas, anyone?

Re: Emulator profiler
KProf uses the text output generated by POSE-Profile. It is much easier to use than the binary output and gives the same results. I didn't try for quite some time (since I switched from Linux to Mac OS X, I even don't use KProf anymore but other people took the charge of maintaining it), but it should still work. Florent.

Look at: http://www.tilo-christ.de/proview/index.html It might be helpful for me to point out that this information can be found out the same page from which you download the emulator itself. Checking there for tools might get you an answer faster than posting a question here. I believe that Proview and Kprof work from the binary output of the profiling process. People working from the text output find that they can make sense of it by reading it into a spreadsheet or database program (I know one person who found using Access invaluable, while I personally have used Excel to good effect). -- Keith Rollin -- Palm OS Emulator engineer -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

Re: Os5 or Os4
Ricardo, As for the new Codewarrior, it is now available. We received the new CodeWarrior 9 yesterday. It was installed without a hitch and works great. DeVo Intelligent Mobility.

However I recently learned of some problems with OS5 and Codewarrior 8, which were fixed in Codewarrior V9 (there is a suposed date but that doesn't means that it is released at that date). Other thing was that there isn't any Emulator for OS5 and it's not supposed to be released.

Re: How to emulate Palm i705 with PalmOS 4.1
If you checked PalmSource's developer site and it's not there, then it hasn't been released yet. It seems like it hasn't been released yet. Maybe some of the Palm VII(x) ROM images are sufficient for what you're trying to do, though? Unfortunately with those ROMs I cannot achieve the same problem as one of my customers reports, so IMHO there must be some difference.
