Problems on FrmDrawForm(), CW v9.0

[Sinoptic]

Hi,

Previously, I've used CW v8 and everything were fine
with PalmOS 4.1 and 5.x

After installation CW v9.0 I've got problems after compilation.

PalmOS 4.1 shows:
"Application just executed an illegal or unknown machine language
instruction.
The opcode executed was 0xFFBC."
on FrmDrawForm().


in the following fragment.

fromOpenEvent :

frmP = FrmGetActiveForm();
FrmDrawForm(frmP);

PalmOS 5.x works fine.

I cannot find the reason of this, my successefull
source code was not changed. It seems that compilator
doesn't work correctly.

Maybe someone met this problems and pass it?
Could you suggest any solution to avoid this problem?

Thank you very much.

RE: DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator not reading from card

[Matthew Bevan]

Todd,

You mis-interpret what a card is, in this instance.  The Dm calls refer to
RAM 'cards' - theoretically there can be more than one.  In practise,
however, there is usually only one 'card' with the ID 0 (best not to
hard-code, however).  To use databases on an expansion card, use the VFS
calls.  There's a completely seperate library for these - most of which are
strikingly similar to the Dm routines with similar names.  For example:

VFSFileDBGetRecord(FileRef ref, UInt16 recIndex, MemHandle *recHP, UInt8
*recAttrP, UInt32 *uniqueIDP);

VFSFileDBInfo (FileRef ref, Char *nameP, UInt16 *attributesP, UInt16
*versionP, UInt32 *crDateP, UInt32 *modDateP, UInt32 *bckUpDateP, UInt32
*modNumP, MemHandle *appInfoHP, MemHandle *sortInfoHP, UInt32 *typeP, UInt32
*creatorP, UInt16 *numRecordsP);

&c.

Transision will be short if you are simply using the expansion card for palm
database storage.  Tip: store your application's files in
/Palm/Programs/, or, as some would wish (wink to the TapWave folks)
/PALM/Programs/-

Enjoy!

Can't connect CW Debugger to Garmin iQue 2600 USB

[RVRoadie]

The Garmin iQue has a USB cradle. In the CW debug settings I select 'palm
device' and USB connection.

When I start debug, I get a dialog about putting device in console mode. I
use the Palmasrus app to do this, and WinXP seems to recognize the
connection (with a dual tone).

Next, I get a connection failed dialog from CW.

Any thoughts on how to do this?

DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator not reading from card

[Todd Walk]

I'm using the DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator call, and
it's not returning dbs on the sd card.  Isn't it suppose
to go over all cards?  Has anyone else seen this?

(The dbs do have different types, the same creatorid, and
one was installed on the card, one in memory.)

Todd.

Re: What's best: MemMove or struct = struct ??

[DongDong]

Using struct = struct doesn't require memory manager that will take care of
memory arrangement, validity, allocation, and etc .

So struct = struct should be more direct and efficient.

Re: What's best: MemMove or struct = struct ??

[Brad Figler]

I would imagine that struct = struct would be a bit more efficient.

MemMove has to handle overlapping memory addresses, so there is going to
be a little bit of overhead for that. Also, MemMove is a system trap and 
calling OS functions consists of setting up the environment (for the 
stack frame, return address, giving control to the OS, etc...).

That is why I think it would be more efficient just copying your 
structure in a loop (i.e. struct = struct ).

Ben,

I just tried the #pragma c99 on and also the Enable C99 extensions, but
CW still complains about
local variables not declared at the beginning of blocks.
Error   : expression syntax error
cmdproblem.c line 175int status;
But "Force C++ compilation" works.

I guess the anywhere-local-vars currently is not supported by CW C compiler.
H C99 support has been in development for a while, but the 3.0 
C/C++ front-end used in the 68K tools doesn't support this particular 
thing.  It was added for the 3.2 FE that's used in the PNO compiler, so it 
does work there.

Re: Shared Library in CodeWarrior9

According to the answers Ben Combee gave me below, I guess C is the only way
of doing shared libraries. Because C++'s implementation needs to use global

Or you can create the buttons on-the-fly, instead of embedding them in the

Re: GLibs with prc-tools (pointer problem?)

[Jan Bandouch]

Hi,
still not beeing able to get things running.
I've checked with the sample application, and I'm doing exactly the same 
things when creating the GLib.

Maybe there's something twisted with globals used by API calls in the 
GLib or so on.
I have my functions declarations from my glibs .h file here. Maybe 
someone finds something thats impossible (like passing char-pointers, 
although I tested that with a modified mersenne-twister sample app and 
it worked there). I do not use any (of my own) global  or static data in 
the definitions.


#include 
#include "BtLib.h"
MemPtr  MyGetObjectPtr(UInt16 objID);
voidMyDrawBitmap(UInt16 objID, Coord x, Coord y);
voidMySetField(UInt16 objID, Char *str);
voidMyAdaptDoubleString(Char *str);
voidMySetFieldDouble(UInt16 objID, double d, double min, double max);
Boolean MyCheckFieldDouble(UInt16 objID, double *d);
Boolean MyIsChecked(UInt16 objID);
voidPrintDouble(double x, Char *s);
Boolean StrToDouble(const Char* str, double *dbl);
Char *  ConvertBtErrToString(Err errno);

I also test compiled the mersenne twister sample application, and when 
compiled as single prc without glib, it's even a slightly smaller prc 
file. Same happens in my application. So is it in general a good idea to 
use a glib in means of saving code space in my application?

Please help me, I'm really desperate...
Thx,
Jan

Re: Palm Development General Question

[Vu Pham]

[ sorry for the top post, Lyris list manager keeps refusing my bottom post ]

Ben,

I just tried the #pragma c99 on and also the Enable C99 extensions, but
CW still complains about
local variables not declared at the beginning of blocks.

Error   : expression syntax error
cmdproblem.c line 175int status;

But "Force C++ compilation" works.

I guess the anywhere-local-vars currently is not supported by CW C compiler.

besides the often mentioned choices, like Aaron Ardiri's SHARK, and my

Use 2 different buttons and hide and show them as appropriate?

You can change the button label w/ CtlSetLabel() or something but I'm 
pretty sure a button is stuck w/ the ID it starts with. Try using 2 
buttons or just changing the text and dealing w/ only one ID.

This isn't really a question specific to Palm. They're different

can be easier to hide some things that might be difficult for a newbie
to quickly pick up, such as string manipulation.

I understand that without specific requirements, it is not easy to
give an time estimate. I was just wondering what a general timeframe
might be to develop an application like this, by a single
developer a week, a month, a year? I was looking for a general

Kind of depends on how much time per day you're spending on doing it. As
you say your a newbie, probably longer than you expect.

Selected Bitmap Resource - Graphical button - Gadgets

[Jefferson Samuel]

Hello All,



I want to show a bunch of bitmaps for the user, of which he can choose any
one. When he is moving his Pen over the bitmap, I want to show the bitmap
with a border. My intension is to give the user instant feedback on which
bitmap his pen is currently moving.



Very similar to WEEK VIEW in Datebook application. In datebook we can drag &
drop our appointments in any time slot. We would see an Instant Feedback of
the small box moving until we drop it. They have used gadgets to do this.
Week View gadget seem to be very complex and hard to understand. I haven't
yet been confident in working with Gadgets.

Any guidance to understand the working of Gadgets would be of great help.



I tried to workaround this problem by placing Graphical Button.

I created two bitmap resources.

a)  Bitmap without boarder - For "Bitmap Resource"

b)  Bitmap with boarder - For "Selected Bitmap Resource"



When the Graphical button is pressed, it shows the "Selected Bitmap
 Resource".



I want to know how I can choose "Selected Bitmap Resource" when the user
moves over the bitmap.



I tried using Graphical Push Buttons, ctlEnterEvent , ctlExitEvent,
penMoveEvent.  No success till now.



case ctlEnterEvent:

for (iFor = 0 ; iFor < 8 ; iFor++)

CtlSetValue((ControlType
*)GetObjectPtr(GBBitmapTable[iFor]),0);

handled = true;

break;



Please give your advice on this.



Appreciate you time.



Jeffy

Re: GLibs with prc-tools (pointer problem?)

[Jan Bandouch]

Hi John,

Where did you look?
In the manpage (m68k-palmos-gcc), the example glib code and on google. I 
must admit I searched wrong on google. I searched for -mown-gp, which 
returns nothing, when not set in ""'s. My fault.

It is a GCC option that is specific to Palm OS, and is documented as such
at http://prc-tools.sourceforge.net/doc/ .
Yep, there I found it when googling the right way :-)

Do you have any idea what goes wrong with my glib-attemps? I must admit 
that I'm no expert in this %a4 stuff, but as I'm not using any globals, 
I guess thats not my problem.

Thx,

Shared Library in CodeWarrior9

[Dorotéa Karine]

Hi, 

For kindness, I would like to know if it is possible
to create a shared library in the CW9 base in C++? I'm
creating the project using the option "Palm OS   
Shared Library Wizard", however, this way, the project
is based on C and not in C++. The same thing happens
when I use the option "Palm Static Library Wizard".
Until this moment, I didn't get to find another option
for to create a shared library in C++. Exists some
other way of creating shared libraries using C++?   
If that is not possible, exists some documentation
specifying this question?  

Thanks a lot,

Thanks. :)
Acutally it's not what I ment.
I already use this links.

I don't know how and when hwrMiscFlagExtSubID should be retrieved.
I understand that when I get sysFtrNumHwrMiscFlagsExt feature I have to AND
it with hwrMiscFlagExtSubIDMask to check if subID is present, right?
Then I need to check what subID it is - to do that I should AND it with
hwrMiscFlagExtSubIDSumo etc. right?

Values of this subID confuse me: hwrMiscFlagExtSubIDBrad0x0how to
understand that?
When this subIDs are useful? Shall it be treated as on overlay of ordinary
hardware IDs? (e.g.hwrMiscFlagIDSumo )

The current PilRC code only uses scanline compression, so that would be
the 
one to use.  In general, you don't need to decompress the bitmap using 
BmpCompress -- just use WinDrawBitmap or WinCreateBitmapWindow.

Do you see arcade games running on Palm OS?  (Yes)
Therefore, it must be good enough to do them :)
One good gaming API is Razor, a C++ framework that I've talked about at

Tapwave has a nice gaming API for their Palm OS device -- www.tapwave.com.

Re: multi-sectioned GLib

[Jan Bandouch]

Hi Jochen,
sorry I cannot help you with your problem, but maybe you can help me 
with mine ;-)
Have you been successfully able to create a glib and use it?

I've posted my problems with glibs in this newsgroups yesterday.
Seems that not to many people now about glibs. Are they actually 
supported? The example says something like "should work".

My problems were a huge speed loss and when passing pointers to 
functions in the glib, they seem to point to the middle of nowhere (just 
my guess, generally I get crappy data from my functions).
Also my applications prc file didn't seem to be smaller (by the amount 
of the lib, as I would expect).

Do you now of any adaptions to the code one has to do before beeing able 
to use the glibs?

Thanks and good luck with your question,

Jan

Re: No globals when using SysAppLaunch?

[Patrick Tuan]

Thanks for the clarification. Maybe Palm Source should have made this clear
in the documentation.

My purpose is really to activate a program with UI as part of the calling
application. To the user, what he sees is just another form brought up
instead of a different application. I think this can be done either in a
shared library or an application that responds only to a custom-defined
launch code (instead of the normal launch code that I mentioned earlier.)
Although they both have no globals, but with a little hard work I think I
can get around with that IF AND ONLY IF:

None of the statically linked libraries (such as the PalmOSRuntime_2i_A5.lib
or PalmOSGlue.lib) needs to use my global data segement!

Do you have any idea about this?

Thanks!

Hi.
How to us this mask?
I can't figure it out from source header.
I've read old forum thread aboud device model and manufacturer but it didn't
help me.

I'd like to distinguish devices such as Palm III/IIIx/IIIxe, Palm V/Vx etc.
It is needed for inventory purposes.
