Is it possible to hilite or underline a letter on a button so that pressing

For example, can I create a 'Save' button similar to the Visual Basic
'&Save' text, and trap and Alt-S to activate the button.
Also, I can trap the Enter key but not the Tab key from a Palm keyboard
attachment.
You can't do everything you mention, but you might want to join the 
developer program at www.thinkoutside.com -- they have a nice document 
describing how you build your application to take full advantage of their 
keyboards.  They are the ones that do the really popular folding keyboards 
that Palm, Sony, and Targus resell.


Do all keyboards used with Palm devices generate the same character codes or
are they manufacturer specific?
It's manufacturer specific right now.  Lots of developers have asked 
PalmSource to standardize this, but there's not much yet.

Is there a source that describes keyboard coding for the Palm device?
See the reference I made above.

OK.  I think that was it.  I looked in my CW8 directories for the Palm docs

Anyway, just to be clear (if you don't mind)...I can make a binary file on a
Windows machine using simple C routines (i.e. fopen, fread, fwrite, etc).  I
can name this file with a .pdb extension and write the data to it in the
format described in the document.  Then I can transfer the newly created
.pdb file over to my handheld just like I do with any other .pdb?
You can do that, but I'd highly recommend using libprc -- the library that 
comes with the source for par that already handles all the details of 
reading and writing PDB files, as well as PRC files.

See www.djw.org and look in the hacks section.

even on the 4.0 debug roms? i have a hard time believing that if it crashes
the palmsim. if your app runs fine on 4.0 with debug on, then, it should run
perfectly on palmsim.

what type of error?

something wierd !

[sylBEERt]

Hi,

I'm making a call to gethostbyname on the Palm & it seems to be failing ONLY
for a particular hostname. I use exactly the same code .. with the same
hostname in a c++ program on linux & it works just fine !! Ofcourse I'm
using Berkley Sockets. What is wierd is that this bit of code was working
perfectly well until a week ago!!

the hostname for which my code is failing is: 'toc.oscar.aol.com'

cout << "Creating Socket...";
sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
if(sock==-1)
{
cout << "Error creating socket" << endl;
return -1;
}
cout << "Created" << endl;

cout << "Calling gethostbyname...";
testHostentP = gethostbyname("toc.oscar.aol.com");

if(!testHostentP)
{
cout << "Error getting hostname" << endl;
return -1;
}
cout << "Success" << endl;

I get success, but testHostentP->h_addr holds a NULL value. As a result of
which, connect fails !

Can't see what I'm doing wrong. Any solutions, suggestions anyone ?

Masking characters for Password field

[Paturi, Ramesh P (IndSys)]

Hi:
I have a requirement wherein I need to mask the characters that are
keyed in (or written by stylus) in the edit field. The entered chars are
that of a password and hence need to masked. I just could not see a way of
doing this. I would appreciate if one of you guys can suggest me the way of
doing this... ( This might look silly but I have never seen this thing on
Palm applications)

Thanks in advance.

I guess thats mainly because it's very easy to make mistakes with Graffiti!

If you use wap, you probably might've noticed that when you enter password,
first it'll wait for few seconds showing the last character you entered and
then change it to '*'. maybe you can implement something like that..

RE: Masking characters for Password field

[prasadb]

Hai Ramesh,
   This is one of the way to replace the password chars which are keyed in.

case keyDownEvent:
if (event->data.keyDown.chr > 32)
{
fld = GetObjectPtr(Login);
FldInsert(fld, "*", 1); 
handled = true;
}
break;  

Other way is you can use the API whih is available in Reference.pdf
  check these
   PwdSet()
   PwdVerify() etc..


have fun:)

and also you need to store the character entered in a buffer to compare  .
if (event->data.keyDown.chr > 32)

//copy the event.data.kewdon.chr in to a buffer 
fld = GetObjectPtr(Login);
FldInsert(fld, "*", 1);

timer with event

Hello,
I use CW9 and I want to set a timer that send my events when it goes, each
xx seconds or less.
How can I do such a timer?
I found "SysTimerCreate" but it looks like it is for system use only?
With POL?
How can I set/get events periodically in a form to make a label ON and OFF
each seconds.

Thanks for your help.

Thank you for the tip. But I really to watch the contents of heap blocks
to see some usable information. With these commands I can only watch the
information about blocks, but not the contents.

Somebody else having another reference ?

My guess is that you ARE in fact receiving these events, but not finding
them as part of the sysAppLaunchCmdNotify event.  I've sent a code snippit

Notification Clarification

[Brad Figler]

All,

I have read the section in the palm os companion a couple of times about
launch codes and notifications.  I am not to sure that I understand
everything I am reading.  Sorry if this is a stupid question.

From my understanding, you *usually* register for a notification when
your application launches.  However, I am unclear when to un-register for a
notification.  If I wanted my application to handle the
sysNotifyCardInsertedEvent, would I only be able to do this when my
application is the application running?  If I un-register for the
notification when my app is terminated, then it would seem that I can only
get the event while my application is running.  Also, what if the user
installed my app, but has not run it yet?  How would I register for the
notification in that case?

Thanks in advance,

Brad

RE: Notification Clarification

[Danny Wong]

HI,

Normally you should unregister when you exit the app. If you don't
then your app will receive sysNotifyCardInsertedEvent event and will
execute your code and probably would crash if it references globals.

In your app you can force a soft reset during install and when your app
receives the
reset event you can then register your events.

Open one of the Symbol samples, for example SscanDemo.  Make note of the

Clarity over %, %% in asm() with .c and .cpp (PRC tools)

[Sean Charles]

Hi,

I've just shovelled some stuff from .c to .cpp in an attempt to objectify 
my game to the hilt! In the process I experienced a nasty hiccup which, 
eventually I solved, but it has me puzzled and I can't seem to find the 
'definitive' answer...this goes out to the gurus out there.

I have a lot of inline assembler, which was in a .c file, when moved to a 
.cpp file, the compiler complained badly about this and that. Eventually I 
figured it out:

This is what the C++ compiler accepts:
#define PUSHALLNOTA7  asm("movem.l %d0-%d7/%a0-%a6, -(%sp)" : : )
#define POPALLNOTA7   asm("movem.l (%sp)+, %d0-%d7/%a0-%a6" : : )
and this is what it USED to be in C mode
#define PUSHALLNOTA7  asm("movem.l %%d0-%%d7/%%a0-%%a6, -(%%sp)" : : )
#define POPALLNOTA7   asm("movem.l (%%sp)+, %%d0-%%d7/%%a0-%%a6" : : )
i.e. double 'escaped' percentage signs everywhere. The solution to the .c/
.cpp riddle was to include a dummy input variable at the end of the asm() 
statement otherwise I faced the prospect of changing %% to % in a lot of 
places! *8-(.

In short:
asm( "  " : : );  did NOT compile under C++ mode using %% BUT
asm( "  " : : "g"(0)); DID compile.
Could anybody please enlighten me. I'm sure I could figure it out but 
right now my head hurts and I have to peel a mountain of parsnips, 
potatoes and carrots.

Kicking myself in advance.
Sean

UTF-8 encoded data - how to display?

[palm]

I have some UTF-8 encoded data, specifically diacritics, that I would like 
to have displayed in fields,etc proprlyer.

Currently in a field control it looks like:

André

When it should look like:

André (not sure this will print but it's an e with an apostrophe over it)

Can someone enlighten me to how to do this?  Tanks in advance!

Are you sure you want the card inserted/removed events?  If you're just 
concerned about VFS, you should register for the volume mounted/unmounted 
events, since a card can have multiple volumes, and there can be other 
volume types not tied to cards.

No idea, but it is likely a Constructor problem due to the embedded NUL 
character.

If you're using the new 5.0 68K SDK R2 that's in beta, there's a new "raw

import raw data from a file or directly specify it using hex characters.

Re: Masking characters for Password field

[Steven Fisher]

That's because it's a bad idea. :(

Instead, take a look at how the Palm handles passwords and duplicate it. 
The Palm will never show you the existing password, but will show you 
the password as you enter it.

A keyboard is 100% reliable; if you tap a key, that's what character you 
get. (Well, except on a few really early generation USB keyboards, but 
that's why I junked the things.) Graffiti is not 100% reliable.

Even if Graffiti is 95% reliable (and I think it's lower than that) that 
means they're going to fail five characters out of a hundred. When 
you're entering a multi-character password daily (or more) that becomes 
an unacceptable risk.

Additionally, the reason masking is used on a PC is the possibility of 
someone overseeing the user typing a password. That's just not a problem 
with a handheld, unless you're doing a demo with an overhead projector. 
Just hold your hand over the screen as you enter the password.

I could see having an option right on the password entry screen to mask 
the password as you enter it. I could even see remembering the state of 
that checkbox between runs. But the first time, it should default to off.

RE: How to use the APIs reserved for system

[Kevin OKeefe]

If you have to ask, you probably shouldn't be using them

They are not fully documented (sometimes it's not even clear what the arguments mean), 
so if you do not know the inside details of the functions in question, you could 
easily do some harm.

However, if you do know what the arguments mean, and are willing to take such matters 
into your own hands, then yes, you can just use them after including the proper header 
file.  But by no means does that mean they are safe

Re: an EvtEnqueueKey() oddity

I used an OS 4 ROM.

 >Any ideas?
EvtDequeueKeyEvent will set the modifier bit for any character that 
it thinks is virtual. This set consists of page-up, page-down, and 
character codes >= 0x0100 and < 0x8000. It does this to protect 
against buggy code that posts virtual keydown events without the 
command bit set.

On debug builds, it also displays a fatal alert with the handy 
message "Virtual key in queue without command bit set". Since you 
didn't note this in your email, I'm assuming that you're running on a 
release ROM (if so, why?).

Yes, it's normal that the command key bit is set.  Since Palm OS
doesn't use any 2-byte encoding systems[1], there is no valid
character above 0xFF.  The values above 0xFF represent "virtual
events".  By definition, these events have the command key bit set,
so the OS enforces that for you.  See the comments in Chars.h for a
little more explanation.
BTW, are you sure that "below 0x0100, all works OK"?  I thought that
posting vchrPageUp and vchrPageDown keys would also result in the
command key being set.  Or does your definition of "OK" specify that?
Keith is correct: page-up and page-down would also cause the command 
bit to be set.

-- Keith

[1] E.g., UTF-16.
Keith is also correct that Unicode (whether UTF-16 or UTF-8) would 
cause the fix-up code in EvtDequeueKeyEvent to fail.

I expect that encoding systems like Shift-JIS are
handled a single byte at a time, even when it takes two bytes to
represent a single character.  Or perhaps via a special TSM or FEP
event.  Hopefully Ken Krugler will see this posting and clarify.
No, Shift-JIS and other multi-byte encodings currently supported by 
Palm OS always return complete characters in the keydown event 
structure. But since they never use character codes in the range 
0x0100...0x7FFF, EvtDequeueKeyEvent will never erroneously set the 
command bit.

A68K database automatic deletion problems

[Larson, Drew]

Hello,

I am developing a driver that will install and setup some things from
start.prc on an MMC card. When it is finished installing, I want start.prc
to clean up after itself including deletion of the A68K database created by
PACE. That is where my nightmare begins. Here are a couple of things I have
tried so far.

1) Action: Doing nothing
Result: A68K database is not deleted when card is ejected. 

2) Action: Setting the recycle bit of the A68K database in hopes that the
system would delete it.
Result: A68K database is still happily intact

3) Action: Search Open Databases until I found the DmOpenRef for the
targeted A68K database; unprotected it; deleted it.
Result: Palm stopped talking to me.

4) Action: Repeated Step 3 and used SysUIAppSwitch to change to Launcher. 
Result: Palm stopped talking to me.

5) Action: Repeated Step 3 and started Launcher as instructed by the
Companion using "Enqueue Key Event"
Result: Palm stopped talking to me.

Any suggestions?

Floundering, 
  Drew

Function TxtConvertEncoding not working in CW9?

[palm]

Maybe I am using this function wrong, but it's not working.  Hopefully 
someone can pinpoint it.  I am not seeing it. I am getting an 0x1806 error 
which i discuss below.  

Below are my variables

char *tmpBuffer = new char[8192];
*tmpBuffer = '\0';
UInt16 sLen,dLen=8192;
sLen=strResponse.GetLength();
content = strResponse.GetBuffer();
Boolean moreD=true;
Err err = 
TxtConvertEncoding(moreD,(TxtConvertStateType*)NULL,(const char 
*)content,&sLen,charEncodingUTF8,tmpBuffer,&dLen,charEncodingAscii,"XXX",3);
strResponse=tmpBuffer;
delete [] tmpBuffer;


Now what they equaled on function call:

sLen when in as 1023, came out as 1023
dLen went in as 8192, came out as 8192.
err = 6150 (decimal)

This equals 0x1806, which is: txtErrUnknownEncoding

So perhaps this function doesn't support UTF-8 to ASCII?

This may not be related, but I noticed a strange thing like that on a 
particular host as well.  It was a particular DNS entry which returned 
different values to balance the load, and it began freaking out my Palm 
applications.  What I found was needed was to enumerate the list provided 
within the returned NetHostInfoPtr, as sometimes the first entry would be 
blank -- which is I believe the same value as ->h_addr.

NetSocketAddrINType saddr;
NetHostInfoPtr phe;
NetHostInfoBufType AppHostInfo;

if ((phe = NetLibGetHostByName(AppNetRefnum, host, &AppHostInfo,
AppNetTimeout, &errno)) != 0) {
/*
 * Sometimes the first address in the list is zero.  This
 * makes me have to search through them to find the first
 * non-zero address.
 */
for (i1=0; i1 < netDNSMaxAddresses; i1++) {
if (phe->addrListP[i1] != NULL) {
if (*phe->addrListP[i1] != '\0') {
MemMove((char *) &saddr.addr,
(char *) phe->addrListP[i1], phe->addrLen);
nameresolved = true;

Yeah, that seems to be the case. TxtConvertEncoding appears to

Replying to myself, I decided to (gasp) check the documentation in the Palm OS 5 SDK, 
and my comments are born out:

"Currently, the focus of TxtConvertEncoding is to convert
between Unicode-encoded text and the device's character encoding.
For this reason, TxtConvertEncoding can only handle
conversions between the device's encoding and one of UTF-8, UCS-
2, UTF-16LE, or UTF-16BE. If you specify any other character
encoding for either the source or the destination buffer, the error
code txtErrUnknownEncoding is returned.

"You can retrieve the device's encoding using the following function:

If you look in the manual, you'll find an all-too-fleeting reference
to "old-style asm()s", as opposed to the modern "extended asm()s".

The extension in question is the ability to interface to C data, via the
lists of output and input operands and clobbers after the colons.  You
refer to the operands within the asm template string with %0, %1, etc,
and of course you might need a way to have a literal percent sign output
from your asm template, and you do that by escaping it thus: %%.

In an old-style asm(), %0 has no special meaning to the compiler -- it's
just a % followed a 0, and will be given to the assembler as such -- so
there's never a need to escape percent signs.  So %% pretty much never
appears in an old-style asm().

Syntactically, an extended asm is one that has some operands and/or
clobbers listed, and an old-style one is one that has none.

So this is old-style:   asm ("move.l %d0,%d1");

and this is new-style:  asm ("move.l %0,%%d1" : : "d"(foo) : "%d1");

But you ask about:  asm ("um um um" : : );

Does the mere presence of the colons mean it's an extended asm() even
though you haven't listed any operands or clobbers?  The weirdness of
the syntax suggests yes, and GCC agrees with you:  with GCC 3.x it's
extended (and so wants "%%d1") in both the C and C++ compiler, and
similarly with GCC 2.95.x's C compiler; but the 2.95.x C++ compiler
thinks the colons are immaterial and considers it to be old-style.

Thus you've run into a bug in the 2.95.x C++ parser.  Bad luck.

Yes, it's a pain to decide whether your asm() for today is going to be
old-style or extended and thus how many percent signs to put in it.

Therefore in practice what I do is always use extended asm()s and always
list some clobbers and usually operands too.  If you're not listing any
operands or clobbers, 99% of the time it's because you're lying to the
compiler.  You don't want to do that.

For example, your POPALLNOTA7

> #define POPALLNOTA7   asm("movem.l (%%sp)+, %%d0-%%d7/%%a0-%%a6" : : )

clobbers practically all the registers, but you haven't told the
compiler that.  If you do bother to tell the compiler, then

(1) it will be able to generate correct code around your asm() instead
of potentially generating broken code [1];

(2) you will have no "is this old or extended" syntactic problems.

In practice what I also find is that my inline asm() template texts
don't contain many explicitly named registers.  Rather, they're full
of %0, %1, etc, and I let the compiler take care of the boring work of
allocating and loading the registers.  It's the computer, after all.

If you are writing great screeds of entire asm subroutines with explicit
hand-allocated register manipulation, probably you want to be using a
separate assembler source file (foo.s) rather than inline asm.

You owe the Oracle one lightly roasted parsnip.
