Yea I've read everything I can find on it.  Thanks anyways.  I may try cutting chunks 
of the glyphs out or get it working for a very small subset and see if I can pinpoint 
were the problem is.

Re: TblSetLoadDataProcedure problems

2003-09-05 Thread Jefferson
Hi,

I know my reply is late. I'm working on tables currently and came across a
caution in seeting item types for tables.
In particular textTableItem , textWithNoteTableItem, and
narrowTextTableItem types do not play well with other types.
TblSetLoadDataProcedure & TbleSetSaveDataProcedure allows u to specify the
entire column. Application will crash if you set load & save procedures
for a cell that is not a textfield.

RE: Lists and Scrollbars

Despite the fact that this code would probably break at some point in a

Can any one help me to remove these symbols? This code isn't work alright.

ListType *mylist;
UInt16 lstmyindex;
int  attrSize;
ListAttrTypelistAttr;

mylist = GetObjectPtr(MyList) ; //FrmGetObjectPtr...

 if(mylist)
{
LstSetHeight (mylist,6);
LstSetListChoices(mylist, myname,20); //myname character array of 20
elements
LstSetSelection(mylist,-1);
attrSize = sizeof(listAttr);
MemMove (&listAttr, &(mylist->attr), attrSize);
listAttr.hasScrollBar = 1;
MemMove(&(mylist->attr), &listAttr, attrSize);
}

Thanks in advance,

What you can do if you're using the plugin is use PilRC in it's command line
format just for the fonts, and then add the font file to your CW as a DATA
type. as the following;

If you have CodeWarrior for Palm OS V9 and are using the Palm OS 68K
linker, you just download the ZIP file and replace the PILRC.EXE file in

I've also put an Adobe Photoshop Colour Table version of the palette
up at http://bwinton.latte.ca/Palm/PalmOS.act  You should be able to
save the file, and tell your artist to use it as the colour table for
any future images.  This has worked well with the graphic artists I
know.

Later,
Blake.

Correct.  When color was added in Palm OS 3.5, they couldn't update the 
internal form structure to include color information for each control, so 
instead they are drawn based on a system-wide color table.

Field controls in the Palm OS don't support centered text?
Again true.  You can easily center text using your own drawing routines, as 
the OS supports getting the width, in pixels, of an arbitrary string.

Although these features are not supported directly by the OS, custom
controls are fairly simple to implement.

Phil, no offense meant and I see people are already helping you, but the 
idea of a headless Palm is one of the strangest things I've heard this

Convert the file to a file stream PDB file first using 'par'.

Just make sure your file has a .cpp or .cc or .cp extension.  The "Activate 
C++ Compiler" switch forces CodeWarrior to build .c files as C++ code; CW 
will always build a .cpp/.cp/.cc file as C++, no matter the setting of this.

How to create STD IO Provider application

2003-09-05 Thread Zee
Hello evryone,

 I have StdIOprovider.c StdIOPalm.c so I first wrotee my own standard 
io provider application with a PilotMAin where I call all the required 
functions like SioInit etc. Then I try to build this application linking 
it with StdIOProvider.c but it has undefined references so I also linked 
it with StdIOPilot.c but this one has a pilotmain of its own so I am not 
sure what to do? If I use the pilotmain of StdIOPalm.c then where do I 
call SioInit etc...?

Many thanks in advance,

Zubair

I did this settings in project seetings in earlier. But in vain.
The problem coming is with  derived classes in shared library. If I am not
using the derived classes its OK.

EvtEnqueueKey();

2003-09-05 Thread nmailey




If I have a field that I want to default to a value ot "1", would
be wrong to use the EvtEnqueueKey() function to do this
rather than FldSetTextHandle() ???

I'm also using this function for buttons on a mini calculator.

Re: Running Palm OS Headless

2003-09-05 Thread Dave Lippincott
Don't see why not.  Just make sure your app is bullet-proof and provide a
switch somewhere to reset the unit.  There are examples on how to replace
the built-in app with your app, just google for them.  If you remove access
to the hardware buttons, there should be no chance of the user leaving your
app except in a crash situation.
Don't know if the hardware would actually run without the screen connected.
On a private note: if your restaurant apps involve HACCP and you need
temperature input, email me. (I'll let your address through my spam filters)

Waking up device

2003-09-05 Thread Chris Percival
Is there a way to wake the device up from sleep at a given point in code?  I
have always just used:

LocalID id = DmFindDatabase(0, AppName);
AlmSetAlarm(0, id, 0, TimGetSeconds(), 0);

ie. set an alarm to go off immediately.  This has always worked great for me
in the past, but now I cannot use that mechanism.  There must be another
way.  I have searched the archives to no avail.  It seams to me like quite a
common thing to want to do..

Re: Running Palm OS Headless

2003-09-05 Thread Dave Lippincott
I was thinking that but then remembered some referring to 'headless' as
bypassing the UI so only one app runs on the unit.  Though a clarification
was in order.

Re: Running Palm OS Headless

2003-09-05 Thread Phil Minor
OK, OK,  Actually I have an application that would be running without a
display (i.e...Headless).  A different OS would  probably be more desirable,
but because of some circumstances, the Palm OS is the target.

Basically the application is an embedded application, where I would need to
be in complete control of the box. From cold restart to runtime, the
application would be running.

I am looking for any guidance on :

1. Can this actually be done ?
2. Can I build/flash a rom onto a Palm device that would automatically
start my application, without worrying about such things as touch screen
calibration, etc..


Thanks,

Phil
