Re: PODS 1.1 debugging
Hi, I've got a problem with the PODS 1.1 integrated debugger under Windows XP SP1: it doesn't step through the application. To be more precise, it steps alright up to the AppEventLoop. But then, once I do some action, like clicking a menu, it simply runs through the application without debugging anything. I work on a managed make 68K application, and my debug target is the Palm 5.4. Simulator. I set several breakpoints to force the debugger to stop, but it plain ignores them. The PODS settings are exactly the same than on my win2K Pro, where the debugger behaves as it should. I'm still quite new to the subject, so please excuse me if the question is overly dumb. But I have searched the web and groups already without finding a solution. By the way, I'm very grateful for the PODS - it is a nice suite, and on Win2K is a pleasure to work with. Thanks for any input, Anne-Marie -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

RE: Is it possible to resize a form at runtime?
frmMain.Height = 30 .Width .Top .Left Is that what you mean? No, most definitely not. First of all, an object of the type FormType does not have such fields. Perhaps you meant something like frmMain-window.windowBounds.extent.y = 30; or something like that. However, the PalmOS documentation quite explicitly warns not to access directly the elements of the FormType and WindowType structures and not to expect the names, places or even existence of their fields to remain the same accross the various PalmOS versions. So, no, the above is most definitely not what I don't want to do. I was asking how to resize a form strictly with the provided APIs.

RE: PODS Debug, show global variables
That being said there is a work around: type the name of the global variable into the Expressions tab. This work around works for most cases Sorry, but it doesn't work - neither for global variables, nor for static variables. Oh, the *names* of the variables do show on the Expressions tab after being added, alright. But its their *values* I'm interested in - and they don't appear anywhere. The Console window keeps displaying whatis variable_name where the variable_name is the name of the variable I've added to the Expressions tab - but that's it; the actual value of the variable isn't displayed anywhere. I tried using the Memory tab too, but whatever was displayed there when I entered the name of the variable had absolutely nothing to do with its actual value.

Re: Any smart way to handle options for all the different device
For my programs, I created an abstraction layer. For example, say you want to draw a color line. I've wrapped the device-specific line drawing routines in my own routine (MyWinPaintLine). If the device supports color, WinPaintLine is called. If not, WinDrawLine is called. It's a little more complex than that, but I'm sure you get the idea.

BR, Alex You are unlikly to be able to read the PDB into a memory buffer, as you can not easly get more than 64K of memory in one chunk (I know there are some ways of doing this...) You can use the exchange manager to convert a Database to its PDB representation with ExgDBWrite. You do not need to pass an exchange socket as the 'other' paramiter, you can pass some structure of your own containing your socket/file handle/whatever.. and use this in the callback function. You can write whatever 'headers' before calling ExgDBWrite, and 'footers' once it has returned. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

Make Clean doesn't make clean bug in PODS 1.1
Hi, I occasionally got a problem when I switch between debug and release build in my makefile and tried to build with Project/Clean... in the menu (the problem isn't limited to that). This problem happens on occassion after I've changed source file names in my project. PODS shows an error like this in the command window: make clean all make: *** No rule to make target `Sr/MemoRsc.h', needed by `Release/MemoMain.d'. Stop. You can reproduce this problem by either renaming any header file used by an application or by editing a .d file in the Debug or Release directory (the one you want to build) and insert a invalid value. (The latter is to reproduce when there already exist .d files in the output dir which aren't up to date). The reason seems to be that make.exe loops through all .d files and checks references *prior* the .d files are deleted by make clean all. The .d files seem to be updated *after* a succesfull build. Deleting the the files by hand solves this. I haven't found the right place to fix this (suppose it's in makefile-engine.mk or someplace else).
