DmNumRecords
when i try to count the records frm todo database using the function
DmNumRecords it give the count for those records also which are deleted frm
the data base.
for example
we have 5 records in the data base its show still 5 after we delete the 2
records
But it should show 3 records.
and if we add more record it will count frm 5.and show the results
according to that.
please help me
here is my code
dbID = DmFindDatabase (0,toDoDBName);
if(!dbID) FrmAlert(ToDoListEmptyAlert);
dbP = DmOpenDatabaseByTypeCreator ('DATA',sysFileCToDo,dmModeReadWrite);
if(dbP) FrmAlert(ToDoListOkAlert);
Rec=(Int32)DmNumRecords(dbP);
RecNo = MemPtrNew(16);
MemSet(RecNo, 16, '\0');
field= FrmGetObjectPtr(Form,FrmGetObjectIndex(Form,TextField));
FrmCustomAlert(ToDoListEmptyAlert,StrIToA(RecNo,Rec ),NULL,NULL);
MemPtrFree(RecNo);
MemPtrFree(inputData);
DmCloseDatabase(dbP);

RE: DmNumRecords
You can check deleteflag to filter them. In general design, palm's records
are deletd permanently during hotsync...

Re: how to draw text with transparent background

Re: how to draw text with transparent background
The SDK calls the draw function to repaint each row in the List/Table. I found when a selection is made, the SDK doesn't call the draw function. It seems the LstSelectEvent and TblSelectEvent are handled by something else and it does not need my draw function to repaint the list. If I draw something, like a rectangle, on the list, it will overlap the highlight line.

It depends what you want. If you use DmDeleteRecord, the record is marked as delete but its entry is not removed from the header. This is for notifying the PC-Program that it is deleted. After Hotsync these records are removed by the Conduit. If you use DmRemoveRecord, the record is removed completely and also DmNumRecord shows you the right number. But you have no notification for the PC-Program. For counting the records that are not deleted refer to the docs of DmNumRecords. It says: Records that have the deleted bit set (that is, records that will be deleted during the next synchronization because the user has marked them deleted) are included in the count. If you want to exclude these records from your count, use DmNumRecordsInCategory and pass dmAllCategories as the category.

Re: how to draw text with transparent background

RE: PalmDB structure
I am far from being an expert, but here is what I understand to be true: 1) Palm database records are stored as simply a string of bytes. It is relatively simple to separate the database into individual records. 2) Palm databases *do not* embed any information as to record structure. It is impossible to determine the structure of individual records other than through trial and error, also known as hacking or reverse engineering. Both of which may possibly be illegal in the United States, by the way. 3) If the records consist of simple string data, reverse engineering may be fairly easy. Using a tool such as PDBee to view a record which you know to contain certain data, you should be able to easily determine the number of string fields in use. 4) If the records contain data in other forms, such as Integer or Float fields, the process of reverse engineering becomes significantly more difficult, especially if you do not know in advance the exact contents of at least one record. If the number of fields is small, reverse engineering may be possible; if the number of fields is large or you do not know the exact contents of at least one record in advance, the task may be virtually impossible. 5) The individual records in a database do not necessarily all have the same data layout. Yes, they probably do, but it is not a requirement and you cannot be certain without adequate testing and/or knowledge of the application which created the database.

re: Input box doesn't allow any keys, otherwise works: SOLUTION
My original message is below. For those searching the archives,
I'm adding the solution to my problem.
In the resource file, the field did not have the MAXCHARS
attribute set. Apparently it defaults to zero, which is
why it wouldn't let me type anything in.
Changing the rcp file to read:
FIELD ID 1001 AT (CENTER 16 152 AUTO) MAXCHARS 25
solved the problem. The code worked just fine.

Everything seems to work, except that the dialog just beeps
at me when I try to input any characters. And I can only
_assume_ that the field-reading code is working (based on
what I've read here and in the APIs), since I can't put
in any text, can't really check if anything other than NULL
comes back, right? ;)
It seems like it should be straightforward... perhaps the
field length issues?
Thoughts? Thanks,

Launch an other application in landscape mode
I'm writing a little utility to launch my GPS application. This utility is needed to: -clean the dbcache (a recurrent problem on Palm T5) -start the GPS application in landscape mode For the 2nd step, I tried to use the SysSetOrientation API. The screen rotates well in my utility but comes back to portrait when the GPS app is launched via SysUIAppSwitch. The mode is not forced by the GPS app because a manual change (click on control bar) is kept. It looks like an hidden SysSetOrientation(sysOrientationUser) call. So, I need help about these two options: a) does anybody know how to change the last user selected state? b) is it possible to programmatically click on the controlbar button to simulate the user action?
