Problem saving bitmap version 3 to resource
Hi, I want to read a bitmapV3 from resource, modify it, and save it back to
database resource, but the saved resource is not bitmap version 3 and
density of 144, it showed bitmap version 0 and density of 72... I have done
it with the same code for bitmap version 2 (with offscreen creation of
genericFormat) and it works. Below is my code, please help!!!

DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator(true, &ldssInfo, sysFileTApplication, 'ABCD',
true, &lintCard, &llidDB);

{
lbmpBitmap = (BitmapPtr) MemHandleLock(lmhdBitmap);
lwhdWindow = WinCreateOffscreenWindow(22, 22, nativeFormat, &lerrRV);

Problems with WinCreateOffscreenWndow()..
Hello, I've some problems managing WinHandles. I'm trying to allocate some globals
OffscreenWindows using a struct of WinHandles, but it seems that the returned value
for each WinHandle is NULL...
I use something like this:
Err allocateWindow(WinHandle *hWin){
*hWin=WinCreateOffscreenWindow(..);
}
Now, if I use:
WinHandle myWinHandle;
err=allocateWindow(&myWinHandle);
the variable myWinHandle should be pointing to the WindowType structure allocated
before, but I found it's pointing to NULL...
This problem came out when I decided to move that function in another segment, but I'm
shure that I declared that function as extern in the module's .h file, included in the
module which calls that allocateWindow().
Can someone help me?
Thanks,
BrownB

Invalid Handheld file deleted
I am using Code warrior 9, and have built an application using POL. I am experiencing issues when hot synching the application to the device. Hotsynch rejects the file as invalid, but the emulator and simulator run it just fine. I have a multi segment app, I do not have link single segment checked. Merge compiler glue into segment 1 is off as well. I am using the large code model. Does anyone know how to determine what is causing the application to be considered invalid? I have been shuffling code around segments to get it working, but there must be somehow to determine what is making the application invalid. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Treo 600 Focus Problem
Hi all, I've a problem with the focus on a field on treo600. In a form I've a TabControl (from POL library) with two tabs. In the first tab there are some fields that I use to search items, while in second tab there is a CustomGrid control where I show search results. I don't switch tabs by means of TabControl Header (I made it invisible with SetTabHeight (-1); ) : at the begin the form shows only the first tab, with search fields, and when user presses the "Search" button, it shows the second tab with search results (using SetActiveTab method of TabControl). If user presses again "Search" button, it shows again first tab and he can make a new search. I've created a Navigation Map with pilrc for the form. The problem is that if the user writes something in one of search fields of the first tab and presses "Search" button (with the focus in the field), when he presses the button for the second time (to make a new search), the treo600 shows the field with the focus with a blue border. If I press the central button of 5-way navigator, I enter in the field (I can see the blinking cursor), but I can't write on it! Just the special hard keys work on this field! But if I move to another field and come back to the initial field, then I can finally write on it. Why the field behaves in that way? Is there any workaround to this kind of "bug" ? -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

None of these calls allocate movable chunks, which remains the problem if further resizes are to take place. The only workaround I see: allocate nonmovable chunks, and when resizing is needed, create a new bigger chunk, copy the old chunk into the new chunk and drop the old chunk. But that requires twice the heap space, and that sounds like a perfect recipe to fragment memory. -- Luc Le Blanc > --- Luc Le Blanc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > My application needs to store various computation > > results into memory > > chunks.

field to list to DB questions
I am trying to take a number from a field and put it into a list when you hit the an
add button. I have an error alert set to go off if the field is null, and a general
debugging alert that pops up with your entered value if a number is present in the
field. This seems to work the first time around. If you enter a number and hit the add
button (the debug alert pops up with your entered
value). If you leave the field blank and hit the add button, you get the error alert.
The problem is after hitting the add button once,you can't go back and edit the field
to put another number in. The cursor is there the field is blank, and you can't enter
anything. On top of that, hitting the add button a second time gets you the Gen Debug
alert with the first value you entered, instead of the empty field error alert. It
seems like the field is not displaying the current pointer text after you hit the Add
button, nor can you edit the text. Does this have something to do with handles? (which
I am not using at this time??). I tried using one but got an error on a line like
this:
Handle h;
so I gave up on that.
I would also like to put this number in a list that is on the same form, and
eventually in a database. concerning the list part, I am guessing that I need to add
this value from the field to an array. I tried setting up an array or intergers just
to play around with like this:
int[5] practice;
But that got me an error too. Would UInt32[5] practice; work?
Also concerning the list, I am getting an error on this line:
ListType listP;
One last quick question, in Oreilly book as a note:
C doesn't require an explicit typecast when casting from a void * such as the
FrmGetObjectPtr. It automatically typecasts for you. C++, on the other hand, requires
and explicit typecast in that situation.
what does this mean, example...???
Now on to the code...
[B]a[/B]
Boolean TableADFormDoButtonCommand(UInt16 command) {
Boolean handled = false;
Char *fldTextP;
Char *listTextP, *newline = "\n";
FormPtr frm = FrmGetActiveForm();
FieldPtr fld = FrmGetObjectPtr(frm,FrmGetObjectIndex(frm,TableADT
ableNumField));
fldTextP = FldGetTextPtr(fld);
// ListType *listP;
// ListType listP; <-error here
switch (command) {
case TableADDoneButton:

case TableADAddBtnButton:

FrmAlert(EnteraTableNumberAlert);
}
else{
FrmCustomAlert(GenDebugAlert,fldTextP," "," "); // <-this is the Gen Debug alert
that displays the nubmer in the field
fldTextP = NULL;
//these two lines are also creating errors
// listP = GetObjectPtr(TableADTableListList);
// listTextP = LstGetSelectionText(listP, LstGetSelection(listP));
//I don't think this works b/cause it uses listTestP
if (listTextP != NULL) { /* If NULL, nothing is selected. */
FldGrabFocus(fld);
FldInsert(fld, listTextP, StrLen(listTextP));
FldInsert(fld, newline, StrLen(newline));

Event for highlighting list entry
Hi all, Is there any way to receive an event as soon as a list item is highlighted? I want to let a user drag the stylus over several list items (and possibly below the list so it starts scrolling) and get events when each of the items is highlighted. My eventual goal is to be able to rearrange the items in the list by letting the user drag them around, similar to the Winamp or XMMS playlists. The lstSelectEvent doesn't work for this because it only happens when the pen is lifted. I also tried getting penDownEvent's and then doing a LstGetSelection, but aparently that isn't updated until the pen is lifted as well. The only other thing I can think of is using the X and Y coordinates from the penDownEvent and somehow calculating which list entry that corresponds to or maybe sending a penUpEvent as soon as I get a penDownEvent that is within the list boundaries, but I'm not sure how all that would work.

"Invisible" app?
Hi All, I continue to make good on my pledge to find new uses for the Palm device, and now want to know the following: Is it possible to compile an application so that it is installed on the handheld with no visible icon? I am creating a suite of applications to manage various aspects of a remote data logger installation and the idea is, in part, to have each app set and manage alarms to rescue other apps in case some event fails to happen the way it is intended (this is all part of a strategy of multiply-redundant failsafe mechanisms). Anyway, I can place a device in the field with several icons on it for my installation, but wanted to run the alarm handlers in hidden mode, as there is no user interaction with them to speak of.

Re: Event for highlighting list entry
Is there any way to receive an event as soon as a list item is highlighted? Not that I know of. At that point, it's too late. You can, however, detect when the user taps on a list item by looking for lstEnterEvent, then do whatever you want--track the pen, highlight an item, etc. I've successfully used this method to do list item repositioning, multiple item selection and deselection by dragging, and tap and hold detection. -- Regards, Steve Mann --- steve-at-slorevo.com Available for Contract Work -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

[ANN]: HTTPS (Secure) Library for Palm OS Released
Hi, We recently released our NEW *HTTPS (Secure) Library for Palm OS*. This is a CodeWarrior C++ Palm OS implementation of both HTTP and HTTPS (Secure) protocols. This library enables your program to retrieve any document using HTTPS, providing a secure connection to a server. HTTP protocol is also included in the library. The product comes packed as a Codewarrior library file with C/C++ headers, so you can include it in your own programs by simply linking it. The Secure HTTPS protocol requires Palm OS 5.0 or later (NOT supported in previous versions). The HTTP runs on any Palm OS device running Palm OS version 3.0 or later. For more information, please check here http://www.pdadevelopers.com/pda/homehttps.htm Thanks, SebastianM PDADevelopers.com Visit us at http://www.pdadevelopers.com -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
wincopyrectangle/ offscreen manipulation
Have been programming for a long time but am just learning my way around palmos. While programming a more or less classic swap type jigsaw puzzle,I wish to have a copy of the screen image offscreen so that I can put the pieces back onscreen in mixed-up order. I have been attempting to do this by copying the screen to offscreen by using wincopyrectangle src to dest with coords of 160x160 (entire screen). I also attempted winsavebits. The form bitmap has been divided up and the exact coordinates of each piece is in an array of records(yes I am a pascal person I don't believe 'C' existed at the time I learned pascal and I never switched. Thanks delphi, Thanks pocketstudio). The problem is that when I put the piece back on the main screen using the exact copied offscreen image with the exact coordinates it is the wrong size. It appears to be from the correct place and into the correct place but is either double-width or double height or both. I assume that there is something that is fundamentally wrong about doing things in this manner. Please inform me of how such a simple procedure is commonly done and what I am doing incorrectly. peter r. soldan [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
Re: wincopyrectangle/ offscreen manipulation
What you are doing sounds correct (copying on/offscreen with WinCopyRectangle). The OS Reference recommends you use bitmap functions instead, but both ways should work. When using a high density screen, make sure to create the offscreen window in the same format as the screen (nativeFormat) to avoid losing resoution. If you're doing anything with the coordinate system, make sure you reset it when copying/recopying the window. -- Tim Kostka http://www.nuprograms.com "Catherine Soldan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Have been programming for a long time but am just learning my way around palmos.

Re: Event for highlighting list entry
That sounds like exactly what I want. Unfortunately, I'm very new
to Palm programming and don't quite understand how I would
accomplish this. How do I go about tracking the pen, determining
what list item should be selected, and highlighting an item?
You can track the pen using EvtGetEvent. There should be a sample in
the KnowledgeBase involving capturing a signature.
Determining what list item should be highlighted sounds the most
confusing. When I'm tracking the pen, will there be a way to
retrieve the list id that should be highlighted or will I just get X
and Y coordinates? If it's just X and Y coordinates, is there a
good method of relating that to a list ID (even when the pen is
dragged below the list)?
X & Y coordinates, but the conversion is simple enough. Here's some "code":
// Figure out what line they're starting on. Do this after lstSelectEvent.
FormPtr frmP = FrmGetActiveForm ();
RectangleType bounds;
FrmGetObjectBounds ( frmP, FrmGetObjectIndex ( frmP, YOUR_LIST_ID ), &bounds );
pixelsPerLine = bounds.extent.y / YOUR_LIST_HEIGHT_IN_LINES;
relativeY = LSTSELECTEVENT_Y_COORDINATE- bounds.topLeft.y;
startLine = relativeY / pixelsPerLine;
// Wait for another event to figure out where they stopped
do
{
EvtGetEvent( &event, evtWaitForever );
} while (event.eType != penUpEvent );
// Figure out which line they released on
relativeY = event.screenY - bounds.topLeft.y;
endLine = relativeY / pixelsPerLine;

Re: Using C vs C++ to develop apps
I appreciate your reply Keith, I can see some of the issues with C++ but i still would like to hear other developer's opinion on the topic. As i'm not a hugely technical person as i'm just starting out, some of the topics in the FAQ articles don't mean much to me >From those articles it seems C is still favoured over C++. but perhaps people are >combining the two? -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
RE: Event for highlighting list entry
Hi,
Handle the lstSelectEvent. The EventPtr will have information like list
selection. To be exact eventP->data.lstSelect.selection will give you
the list selection.
