Who know why Fatal Alert?
Hi all,
I am trying to launch RealOne Player within my own application. It works
flawless if I am using Palm macro AppLaunchWithCommand. But it promped me
Fatal Alert if I tried to use this macro AppCallWithCommand('RNWK',
sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch,NULL);.
Who know why?
Below please find what exactly the Fatal Alert:
Emul68KMain.c, Line:456,
line 111 exception at
address 0010656E
Reset
Background: I am using CW7 with OS5 SDK. This is an only statement response
to a button within a fresh project.
P.S. I would like to use AppCallWithCommand to launch RealOne Player
without actually quit my own application.

Export bmp from WIN to PALM
Hi All, I'm trying to export windows bitmap files (8 bit) to a palm database. I write the windows (dib) bitmap data as a data stream in the .pdb according to the palm header structure, and re - construct the bitmap structure in palm memory. When writing the bitmap header in the palm necessary byte order conversions are made. After loading to the palm, the image is displayed as garbage but with the correct dimensions . Has anyone tried this before. Thanks in advance DNR -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
Re: Export bmp from WIN to PALM
Sure - even if not in exactly same order. If the image depth is correct (16 bits) and no compression is used, then probably the color component order is wrong. Windows and Palm use different color schemes (BGR order), by I don't remember the details by heart. The best way to procede is to prepare 3 bitmaps - one blue, one red, one green - and compare the output.

Re: bus error
Bus error is like a GPF on your PC. Its likely your app wrote to an invalid memory location or over bounded a variable accidentally. Look at your code in the general area of the bus error and see if you copied too many characters into a string or wrote data into an invalid pointer. Think of a segment as a piece of string, its length is proportional to the code size. Each function/routine in your app is a segment. The compiler lays each piece of string end to end and keeps a table of where each piece starts. In the Palm OS, you cannot jump from one string to another if they are too far apart. - Original Message - From: acky [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newsgroups: palm-dev-forum To: Palm Developer Forum [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 4:22 AM Subject: bus error` Hi: everybody,i 'd need your help.i encouter bus error .i'd like to know what has caused this problem and how can i solve this problem.Can someboy explain the multisegment code for me ? -- 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: Multiple Text Records per PalmOS Record
Posted by Kevin OKeefe It's probably better to use nulls to delimit strings, then you can use normal Str functions and also don't have to worry about '|' appearing within a string. I'd love to use the nulls however I'm creating the database on a Unix machine from an ascii file. I'm using a conversion utility for Unix called pdbmake, and it doesn't seem to be converting the nulls properly. Posted by Chris Tutty If you want to reference each string directly (ie, without working through the strings that preceed it) you'll need an index of some sort that gives you the offset of the start of each string. Storing it at the start of each record will add two bytes per string to your storage overhead but will let you access each string directly. All the records are already sorted when being stored into the palmdb, so I'm also creating an indexing database to refer to, to speed things up in that respect. I'll see if I can muster up your idea though and test it out...

Repost: exporting file from Card w/o conduit
Sorry about the repost -- I'm a bit stressed about finding an answer and am not finding much information in my searches on the net and the documents (though I may be looking in the wrong places). My app needs to export files on the expansion ard to the desktop without a conduit. They're large non-pdb files, ~1Mb. I'm using VFSRegisterDefaultDirectory() to register a file type so that users can import files directly to the expansion card using Palm Quick Install. That part's working great, but it's not clear to me how to do the converse -- to export a file of the same type from the card back to the desktop computer. Is it possible to do this without developing a custom conduit?

Advice sought on design of a db of linked lists of linked lists of bitmaps?
Hi,
title says it all, though cryptically perhaps.
I am writing a mini storyboarding application and am
about to embark on the persistence part of the project.
And I need some advice on how to structure my db(s?)
for this.
So far, I have structured my data as follows:
- the db will contain 0, 1, or more clips
- each clip contains 0, 1, or more shots
- each shot contains 0, 1, or more frames
- each frame contains bitmap data
- shots form a double-linked list
- frames within a shot form a double-linked list
i.e.
typedef struct
{
char author[80],
char notes[1024],
shot * head;
}
clip;
typedef struct
{
int duration;
frame * head;
shot * next;
shot * prev;
}
shot;
typedef struct
{
BitmapPtr data;
frame * next;
frame * prev;
}
frame;
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Re: Valid character for TxtCharAttr?
Ken Krugler a écrit : Running the Gremlins on my application, I get a TextMgr.cpp, Line:727, Sign-extended char passed to TxtCharAttr warning because the Gremlin wrote a 236 (EC) character into a field onto which I later perform, for each character, a TxtGlueCharIsAlNum call, which in turn, calls TxtCharAttr. The OS reference about TxtCharAttr says The character passed to this function must be a valid character given the system encoding.. Yet, in the Latin character set, this 236 character is simply an accented lowercase a. Isn't this a valid character? I'm guessing that you're grabbing the characters from the text field using a Char variable (or Char*). When you pass a Char to a routine that expects a WChar, the 8-bit Char gets sign-extended, and thus the character code 236 (0xEC) becomes 0xFFEC. So either you want to use TxtGetNextChar to pull WChar values out of a string (bonus - this will also help your code work correctly with Japanese, Chinese, and the UTF-8 Unicode encoding), or you need to do proper type-casting to prevent the sign extension from occurring. Forgive my ignorance but I don't see what type of casting I could do to prevent this sign extension. I tried: WCharw; Charc; w = ( WChar ) c; to no avail, 0xEC became 0xFFEC. So in the end I added: w = 0x00FF; -- Luc Le Blanc -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

MyApp.rcp - #include MyAppRsc.h #include Strings.h ALERT ID DoSomethingAlert CONFIRMATION HELPID DoSomethingHelpString BEGIN TITLE Do something MESSAGE Are you sure? BUTTONS OK Cancel END Unfortunately, this code generates all sorts of PilRC compiler errors. Has anyone come up with a way of doing something like I'm proposing? Moreover, is there a way of putting the text for the TITLE, MESSAGE, and BUTTONS into the separate string file? If anyone has any suggestions or answers, I'd be most grateful. PilRC 3.0 supports string-based #defines, so you could write something like res-english.rcp: #define HELLO Hello #include res.rcp res-french.rcp: #define HELLO Bonjour #include res.cpp res.rcp: GENERATEHEADER res.h RESETAUTOID 1000 STRING ID HelloString HELLO A beta version of PilRC 3.0 will be part of the CW 9.2 preview drop to be posted soon. You can build it right now using the files in CVS at the PilRC project page on sourceforge.net. -- 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: What to do w/resource file greater than 64k?
With that said, I am baffled. Here's the problem I'm seeing. Codewarrior 9.1 complains with the following WARNINGS: Segment 'Seg1' is greater than 64KB, it will generate an invalid PRC file. PalmRez Warning: Output resource size is greater than ~64K size limit: 'code 1' In my Segments tab, the ONLY things listed in Seg1 are: Seg14K 1K --- StartupCode.lib 514 42 PalmOS.win.pch n/a n/a (actually 2K on hard drive) MyApp.rsrc n/a n/a (actually 70K on hard drive) MyApp.cpp 3616987 Furthermore, when I drag the resulting PRC onto POSE running an OS3.1 dbg ROM (my target platform), I get Could not install the Palm OS file MyApp.prc because an out of memory error occurred while installing resource 'code'(1). It's possible that the reason for this error is because the size of this resource (68614) is larger than the current allowed maximum of 65505. It was my assumption that MyAPp.rsrc was causing the problem, and that I needed to reduce it in size down to 60k or so so it would fit in Seg1. Ben, if I follow you, unless I have a very large bitmap (which I don't -- two dozen forms, three dozen small bitmaps, that's about it), the problem isn't anything to do with the resource file? This is very odd. Turn of linker map file generation in the 68K Linker pref panel and look at the contents of the first code segment. It may be that you have inline or template code from other segments that is being put into the first segment. If you know that this code won't be called from a non-global-providing launch code, you can turn off the compiler glue in first segment switch in the 68K Linker panel. The figures in the columns in the IDE are VERY approximate, and don't take into account the actions of the linker. They are just a guide. -- 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: Valid character for TxtCharAttr?
Forgive my ignorance but I don't see what type of casting I could do to prevent this sign extension. I tried: WCharw; Charc; w = ( WChar ) c; to no avail, 0xEC became 0xFFEC. So in the end I added: w = 0x00FF; w = (WChar)(unsigned char)c; will do it nicely. -- 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/
