Virtual Driver under PalmOS 5
Hello folks,
I somehow have problems writing a virtual serial driver for PalmOS 5. I
created a driver based on the CryptoComm Example of PalmSource. It also
works fine on PalmOS4.x-devices and the Emulator. But I cant get it running
on a Simulator or a T-T. The new device-ID does not appear.
I tried to locate where it fails but it seems the DrvEntryPoint is never
called(I added a ErrFatalDisplay("EntryPoint") in DrvEntryPoint, but the
simulator does not crash).
So what is the diffence between virtual drivers under PalmOs5 and 4? Is the
PalmOS5-driver required to be native? Does somebody have a hint or example?
Thanks,
Thomas

Re: How to wrap text in a table column..
Alan, I looked into the ToDo list/DateBook examples but they capture the event to wrap the text, whereas in my case, I know that I will always have text to be wrapped in two rows in one column,so I needed a simpler solution.. Finally I have managed to do it. The text gets wrapped alright with '\n' but the problem was that the height of the row was not enough to fit both the rows. So the second line was getting drawn alright but then overwritten by the second row of data in the table. Hence now I'm using "void TblSetRowHeight (TableType *tableP, Int16 row, Coord height)" to increase the height and everything works fine. However, another question, tapping on the second line of the column does not generate any event. Is there someting I'm missing? Thanks again.

You didn't tell us what OS release levels you are testing it on. I believe the OS did not recognize taps beyond the first line in a table row until 4.0. Try your program on 4.0+ and see if it acts the way you expect. If you need to support the same user experience prior to 4.0, you have to trap the pen down event yourself, AFAIK.

Multi segment problem with typedef struct
Hi to all,
I use CW9, C++.
I make a multi-segment program.
In the main segment I have (eg):
typedef struct

UInt8 lastHighScore;
} GamePreferenceType;
GamePreferenceType Prefs;
How can I call that from the second segment???
I tried:
extern GamePreferenceType Prefs;
but it doesn't work!!
Thanks a lot.

Re: Multi segment problem with typedef struct
I think, the segment has nothing to to with this. Did you declare the struct
in the second file? You should place the declaration in a header file and
include it into both files:
typedef struct{
UInt8 lastHighScore;
} GamePreferenceType
#include "headerfile.h"
GamePreferenceType Prefs;
#include "headerfile.h"
extern GamePreferenceType Prefs;
If you just say "extern .." without declaring the structure, the compiler
does not know it.

Sorry to have to mention this, but you can - and should as much as possible
- grow your segments to the 64k limit.
This is because calling one function from one segment to another is much
more time and space consuming than calling it within the same segment. So if
you can have 2 segments instead of 4, your code will be smaller and more
efficient.
It is true that you may get some link errors when doing this with code model
set to "Small". This is because when set to "Small", a jump address within a
segment uses only 2 bytes (the relative offset) so it is limited to +- 32k.
This can be solved by reordering your code in the 'segment' panel, and
ensuring that calls within a segment are inside this limit. You do this by
changing the files order inside a segment, or the methods order inside a
file.
Sometimes, due to the code itself, this cannot be achieved. In that case, if
you have only 1 or 2 link errors, you can create what is known as an
'island':
For example:
MethodAtBeginningOfSegment()
{
}
MethodAtEndOfSegment()
{
MethodAtBeginningOfSegment();
}
may lead to an unsolvable link error if your segment size is > 32k. The
'island' technique leads to the following:
MethodAtBeginningOfSegment()
{
}
IslandInMiddleOfSegment()
{
MethodAtBeginningOfSegment();
}
MethodAtEndOfSegment()
{
IslandInMiddleOfSegment();
}
Which will solve the link error.
Please note that this technique is only useful when there are only very few
unsolvable link errors, otherwise it leads to lots of space consumption and
overhead, which is exactly what you're fighting against.

RE: Bad executable generation
The problem I've had at least three times is I don't get link errors. Once
my segment was just a little over the size limit and twice I had syntatic
errors that weren't detected by the compiler. In the latter two cases I had
some fairly complicated code that looked ok to me. With my failing memory I
was able to remember all the changes I made and go back and do the more
complicated ones differently. Both times after redoing the code - mostly to
break up all the stuff that was on one line - it Hotsynced correctly.

Mysterious error message
Palm-meisters, I'd appreciate your help with the following. I am trying to integrate the Zire 71's camera with my own application. I have cut and pasted bits of the sample application from the Palm SDK into my own. What I find is that the camera works - once. When I install everything fresh, and turn on the camera by opening the slider, I can take and save pictures. However, if I turn off the camera by closing the slider, return to the rest of my application, and then open the slider again, I usually get a crash. Sometimes I also get the following error message: Fatal Alert: Emul68KMain.c, Line:403, illegal instruction 19F0 at address 0002 It would be helpful to know if this message should point me in any particular direction. I though there might be a problem with registering and unregistering for slider notifications, or with loading and unloading the camera library. Also, I should note that with the addition of the camera code my application has grown to be more than 32K in size (its about 37K, without the addition of armlet resources). My understanding is that this might cause the application to fail to compile, but that if it does compile, it shouldn't cause crashes. But maybe I'm wrong. Your assistance much appreciated.

OS5 - how to wait for interrupting programs (e.g. brightness dialog,Find, Alarm...)
This may sound elementary, but I'm totally stumped. My app is running - some other app interrupts it - could be an alarm or a system dialog... Before OS 3.5, I got a winExitEvent so I knew I was interrupted - and I just waited for a winEnterEvent to continue. Then, in OS 3.5-4.2, I didn't get the winExitEvent until AFTER the interrupting app FINISHED. But this was still not an real issue, because my 68K app was truly interrupted and so it couldn't do anything until control returned to it - it then got both the winExitEvent and winEnterEvent and continued on its way. BUT NOW - in OS 5.x, not only don't I get the winExitEvent in time, but also my application isn't blocked from running after it's interrupted. The result is that my application keeps running AFTER the external dialog appears, drawing over top of the dialog completely before losing all pen input. Since most other applications seem to "just work" when being interrupted, what could I be doing wrong? When my app gets "interrupted", all hell breaks loose, and this was never an issue before. But this is now a significant compatibility problem, and it can be quite dangerous when, for example, the user can't see a low batery warning.

Multiple forms handled by one .c
A coworker and I are having a bit of an argument over whether or not multiple forms should be handled by a single source file. I'm a big fan of considering .c files to be objects, and trying to use an object-oriented approach to developing forms. However, he's right that handling related forms with a single .c file takes a lot less source code (though I'm not really convinced it's that much less object code). So, I thought I'd ask here: What are the advantages/disadvantages to each approach? Have you regretted one extreme or the other? Is some comfortable middle ground (like related forms in a single .c) a better approach than either extreme? I'm willing to be convinced either way.

But in practice, the Metrowerks IDE makes it easier for me to just dump most of a Palm project's form routines into the same .c file. However, I almost always use separate handler functions for each dialog. Even it there is tons of common code. Which, in that case, I attempt to break the code into as many common sub-routines as possible (while retaining separate handlers). When Palm migrates towards a C++ common framework, I plan on one class instance per form (as I do when writing code for that other OS). Smaller Palm executable is just not the priority as it once was. - Original Message - From: "Steven Fisher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: palm-dev-forum To: "Palm Developer Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 2:07 PM Subject: Multiple forms handled by one .c > A coworker and I are having a bit of an argument over whether or not > multiple forms should be handled by a single source file.

Low memory check failed in POSE 4.0
Hello, I'm struggling to try and figure out where this low check sum failure is occuring. What tools can I use to find the exact C code that is doing this? I'm using CW6.0 and the 4.0 SDK. I try and use the debugger but it just gives me the asm code. Thanks, Jason __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

ARM ?
OK, I've finally made a start. All my library compiles having emptied out some functions etc. It won't link as I'm using Falch.Net and it won't build a static library without gnu tinkering that I'm also (previously) blissfully ignorant of for now. I guess it should be doable though, so I'll ask about something else I really don't understand: In short, my question is "What is all this 16bit crap ?" I'm (attempting to) target ARM only OS5 and was hoping that's what my compiler would spit out. Is this not the case ? I even get it moaning that "1<<16" is too big so I assume 32bit numbers are voodoo ? Wow! Worse, apparently I've filled my .code, .data and .bss segments before I've even compiled any of my actual games code. Is there a tutorial somewhere that explains how to write decent-sized programs ? The RAM on OS5 devices and the processor speed of an ARM is gonna need a little bit more than what seems available by default. Is there no way to shortcut all this 16bitness and just build a large program ? I've tried to to make this not sound like a rant, but I can't believe their isn't a better development system for the new wave of hardware. Backwards compatibility is one thing, but not if that just means crippling new stuff, surely. Please tell me I'm reading this wrong If anyone knows of a tutorial for building a large static library using gnu (or even better, falch.nets IDE) I will gladly bear your children.

Just so I'm clear on this -- the database resides in storage space, but since I'm loading every value of the database into a graph, then I'm effectively creating a copy of the database in dynamic memory, which is very limited in size on some devices? Is dynamic memory faster than storage memory? For reading, dynamic and storage memory is equivalent. For writing, memory on the dynamic heap can be written much quicker, as you don't have to go through pointer validation and memory protection. -- Ben Combee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CodeWarrior for Palm OS technical lead Palm OS programming help @ www.palmoswerks.com -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

Re: Multiple forms handled by one .c
IMHO flexibility should rule. As a matter of fact, I have multiple instances when I have a number of similar forms and then I handle them not only in one .c file by via one single event handler function. In my particular situation this has tremendous advantages. However, I believe that there should be no general rule carved into stone. /PaulN [pedit etc.] P.S. pedit itself is broken up into appr. one hundred .c files many of which are shared by my other stuff. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

Re: PalmNetServices API in Palm SG SDK
Nicolas, Thanks for your prompt response. The reason I posted my original question is due to the following note in NetServices API guide in Palm SG SDK. "NOTE: The NetServices API does not provide a method to add profiles to the existing Wi-Fi Panel. If you create a Net Services application, you must design your own panel to display and create profiles, connect to access points, and so forth" 1) Which API lets an application, connect to specific access point ? 2) Since the profiles created by my application and Wifi Panel may not be the same, it might be a confusing experience to the user if they end up using both the applications to view the profiles. How can I avoid this confusion ? Is there a way to hide the Wifi Panel from the user after our application is installed ?

In OS 5.x, exactly how does your application continue to run? Your application normally can't receive additional events, because even in OS 5.x, AFAIK there's a single, shared event queue, and if there's a dialog active, that dialog's event handler grabs all events. Do you mean that your application continues to receive notifications? If so, then that's the same behavior as in previous OS versions, and you need to check to see if the active form/window is yours within your notification handlers. __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

Re: I need a list with normal ScrollBar
You won't change the default list behaviour (that is, showing the two scroll buttons) by setting the hasScrollBar flag. If you need a list with a normal scrollbar, you must program this yourself by the following: - set the number of items of the list to exactly the list height - attach the scrollbar to the list and set the scrollbar's dimensions to be appropriate - when the user scrolls, you set again the Items pointer to the new location, but keep the number of items the same By using these artifacts, the list doesn't know that you have more items than it can display and it won't show the scroll buttons. The inconvenience is that you must program all the stuff yourself.

Emulator reports invalid Program Counter
With production ROM everything runs fine.
With debug ROM, the emulator reports that
the program counter becomes invalid at the
end of the function animate (which does all
of its work correctly but only once)
and the debugger reports
EXCEPTION ID = $80
100459EC *RTS
That is how the code looks like:
static void animate (void)
{
Int16 xa, ...
WinSetDrawWindow (FrmGetWindowHandle (FrmGetActiveForm ()));
xa = ...
WinDrawLine (xa, ya, xe, ye);
}
static void waitForEvents (void)
{
EventType e;
do
{
EvtGetEvent (&e, 10); // wait max. 0.1 seconds
if (!SysHandleEvent (&e)) // do system events
if (!HandleMyEvent (&e)) // do my events
animate (); // do animation
}
// code here is not reached with debug ROM!
while (e.eType != appStopEvent);
}
I am using Debug ROM palmos35-de-nonezdbg.rom
with Emulator Version 3.5
