Re: Bad Field Selection after using on-screen keyboard
Thanks for the tip. I had read that thread, and others that are similar, but I could not find what specifically causes the error. Others that have had similar errors have different scenarios that don't apply to what I am doing. It would be nice if someone who understands the process that Palm goes through could shed light on what the OS is trying to do, then I might figure out what I am doing wrong.

prc-tools utility to convert font types

Well, I've decided to change my objective. Rather than producing the code to dynamically convert a fonttype during run-time, I want to create a utility that'll handle the conversion and include the compiled 'nfnt' resource directly into the prc during build-time within a prc-tools environment. I figure that I'm about 95% completed, but I have one last issue which I cannot figure out. Until now I've been doing fine with reverse-engineering the TeeneeTestFont example but I need some more diverse information in order to continue. I've attempted to create my own 'known good' extended font resources myself, but I lack the fundamental knowledge of using codewarrior properly in order to build them. After reading the documentation on creating 'nfnt' resources, I've gotten as far as being able to make a dummy .prc project out of codewarrior and via pilrc create a 'NFNT' resource ad hoc. However, I don't know exactly how to kick in Constructor and convert it into the extended font resource and after pilrc has handled it. Each time I try I get a PalmRez linking error basically telling me, "I have no idea what you want me to do!" The funny thing is though that TeeneeTestFonts provides an excellent example on what to do AFTER you've linked in constructor,.. but doesn't give out any (obvious) hints on what lead to that stage :) It's the act of bridging the gap between pilrc and constructor that I'm lost with. Once that's established I can finish my utility -- maybe provide a patch for pilrc -- and no one will ever have to worry about supporting extended font resources outside of constructor again! :) -- Adam McDaniel Array.org Calgary, AB, Canada -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
Re: DmComparF receiving NULL for SortRecordInfoPtr
You didn't say what is calling your comparison function. Is it DmQuickSort, or DmFindSortPosition? If it's the latter (and it probably is) then the problem is that you are responsible for passing a SortRecordInfoPtr to the DmFindSortPosition API, and you are probably passing NULL.

Reading UInt16 array at end of record
Hi all,
I'm trying to read an array of UInt16's at the end of my records. There is
a struct and a sereies of packed strings before the beginning of the array.
With help from others I now have this code in place.
_
UInt16 ProfileGlobal[1000];
unsigned char *profileP;
RecH = DmQueryRecord(DBRef,RowID);
profileP = MemHandleLock(RecH);
profileP += Tally; // now pointing at beginning of UInt16 array.
for(i = 0; i <= ProfileLength; i++)
{
MemMove(&ProfileGlobal[i],profileP,sizeof(UInt16));
profileP += 2;
}
MemHandleUnlock(RecH);
With this code, I can read the first TWO values correctly, but the rest are
not being read right..
Does anyone know why this is happening? I'm incrementing the char* by 2
since a UInt16 is 2 bytes long, but it seems to somehow be getting
dis-aligned.
Thanks in advance.
Jim

Re: IrDA TinyTP problems - Timeouts, credit
I solved the problem finally, and it was caused by not
providing enough credits to the slave IR device.
Here's what I did to fix the problem:
1. When making a TinyTP connect request I passed an
initial credit value of 1.
Example: if (IrConnectReq(irRefNum_, &irConnect_,
&irPacket_, 1) != IR_STATUS_PENDING)
{...}
2. Whenever I receive the LEVENT_DATA_IND event, I
immediately give 1 credit to the slave IR device.
Example: (code snippet)
void IrCallback(IrConnect *connect, IrCallBackParms
*parms)
{
switch(parms->event)
{
case LEVENT_DATA_IND:
// give 1 credit to the slave IR device
IrAdvanceCredit(&irConnect_, 1);
// >> Process received data
//
break;
}
}

I have used the palm and sony simulators on three different computers (all with windows XP, both CodeWarrior 8 and 9) and it crashes on me constantly. Oftentimes the processes stay around, which causes a problem the next time you debug from codewarrior. I wrote a little script to kill any simulator processes and restart the simulator, so I don't have to do it by hand, that lessened the pain greatly. About 10% of the time, codewarrior 9 also uncermoniously crashes when using the simulator. We can't be the only ones seeing this problem; it happens to me up to 20 times a day. It always happens when there is a bug in my code. OK, so I shouldn't be putting bugs in my code, but that really shouldn't be crashing the simulator either. Dat's why I try to do all my debugging on the emulator, else I use my "kill and restart the simulator" script. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

FrmShowObject always works for me. I hide/show bitmaps/graphic buttons.
Let say I have 3 graphic buttons btn1, btn2, btn3. They are the same size and same
position.
What I always do is:
To show btn2
HideObject(btn1);
HideObject(btn3);
ShowObject(bnt2);
To show btn1
HideObject(btn2);
HideObject(btn3);
ShowObject(btn1);
and so on ...
void HideObject(UInt16 id)
{
UInt16 obj_index;
obj_index = FrmGetObjectIndex(FrmGetActiveForm(), id);
FrmHideObject(FrmGetActiveForm(), obj_index);
}
void ShowObject(UInt16 id)
{
UInt16 obj_index;
obj_index = FrmGetObjectIndex(FrmGetActiveForm(), id);
FrmShowObject(FrmGetActiveForm(), obj_index);
}
Have you try that?

RE: where to register notifications in POL
Simply call SysNotifyRegister() from NormalLuanch() function to register your app. Also don't forget to intercept sysAppLaunchCmdNotify in CYourApp::InitInstance() method, where CYourApp is your application class derived from CPalmStApp class. You can find more info about handling non-global launch codes in CPalmStApp docs. _ Best regards, Maks Pyatkovskiy > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:bounce-palm-dev- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of HT Nguyen > Sent: Friday, February 28, 2003 2:03 AM > To: Palm Developer Forum > Subject: where to register notifications in POL > > > Would someone please tell me where to register notifications using POL > framework. > > Thanks, > htn > > > -- > 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/

SysTaskCreate et al - they are the API's you can use - but, dont expect to find anything about them in the documentation :) they are system only calls, and, if you found them - you knew what you were looking for on OS5 devices, there may be callback functions specific for the audio playback, hence giving the notion of multi-threading :) we played a bit with tasks on early units, but, due to its instability, we dropped it. --- Aaron Ardiri [EMAIL PROTECTED] CEO - CTO +46 70 656 1143 Mobile Wizardry http://www.mobilewizardry.com/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
Re: Multithreading in Palm OS 5
Thank you for your reply. But I am a bit confused. Does you mean that this kind of application cannot be realised directly on the Palm OS platform, but have to dig into the ground like dealing with the drivers or even some of the hardware.

Anything I missed out? multitasking has been semi-possible for a while :) but, its not something you should really be playing with - and, palm does not want you playing with it. the manner in which it works can vary from device to device and in many cases, its not possible to even do it at all on some devices. you should probably not even consider playing with such parts of the operating system - mp3 players and so forth are bound to specific devices (as you probably noticed) - and, now you probably know why :) --- Aaron Ardiri [EMAIL PROTECTED] CEO - CTO +46 70 656 1143 Mobile Wizardry http://www.mobilewizardry.com/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
