Removing item from a list box
When I delete the last item in an inbox I get and "index out of range
error"
Here is my function:
Int16 DeleteFromList(Int16 ListID, Char* item)
{
FormPtr form;
ListPtr listP;
Char** items;
Int16 numItems, i, j, numSelected, rval;
form = FrmGetActiveForm();
listP = (ListPtr) FrmGetObjectPtr(form, FrmGetObjectIndex
(form, ListID));
items = (Char **) MemPtrNew(255);
numItems = LstGetNumberOfItems(listP);
numSelected = LstGetSelection(listP);
if (numSelected == noListSelection)
{
FrmCustomAlert(AlertDeleteListItem, item, NULL, NULL);
rval = -1;
} else {
//Prompt to remove selection
j = FrmCustomAlert(AlertConfirmDeleteListItem, item,
NULL, NULL);
if (j == 0)
{
// Romove selection
for (i=0; i<=numItems; i++)
{
if (i != numSelected)
{
items[j++] =
LstGetSelectionText(listP, i);
}
}
LstSetListChoices(listP, items, (numItems-1));
LstDrawList(listP);
rval = numSelected;
} else {
rval = -1;
}
}
return rval;
}
And my call:
case LeadershipDeleteButton:
if (DeleteFromList(LeadershipLeadershipList, "name") != -1);
form = FrmGetActiveForm();
listP = (ListPtr) FrmGetObjectPtr(form,
FrmGetObjectIndex(form, LeadershipLeadershipList));
DmRemoveRecord(gLeadershipDB, LstGetSelection(listP));
handled = true;
break;
Thanks!
:D

GCC Debugger
I've read somewhere that there is a debugger for PRC-Tools. Is this correct? How do I go about installing/using it?

Re: NSBasic
There's no reason to take it off-line. You can't convince me that it is fast or that the run-time is small, so there is nothing else really to talk about. I know I'm not using the latest generation of Palm, I currently have a Palm IIIc which isn't quite a dinosaur yet. Most of the people using my programs I would guess are using older palms as well. Here is the link to the Pascal compiler I mentioned earlier. http://www.pocket-technologies.com/ I've run some apps created with it and the programs seem to run as fast as those created in C, and the .prc files are small. It's been a few years since I would guess this is a great choice for Delphi programmers... > >> Let's take this offline.

Re: using Visual Basics to program Palm OS

There is a learning curve with any language you choose to use if you are new to the Palm. I'm just suggesting that it may be beneficial to take the time to dig into C if you feel you can. Don't get me wrong. NSBasic served my purposes. It more than paid for itself in less than 3 months. Now it is just hard for me to get rid of the crutch when I am struggling with my C programming and I know how simple it is to do it in NSBasic. -- Dustin Davis http://www.shiblon.com -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

RE: using Visual Basics to program Palm OS [long]
It sounds like your in a similar boat - except you started with AppForge instead of NSBasic. I just wish the learning curve was not so steep. > the program on a real pda, but there is a noticeable lag time between > when you tap the icon and when the first screen shows up. This is the same with NSBasic. I had to put a splash screen up just you the user would know their palm had not died. Does anyone know of a website that has common palm C functions that could just take object ID's and do what you need... Maybe I could create such a site - but I would need help from real programmers to show me what my functions are doing wrong! :D Quoting David Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I weaseled into an AppForge project six months ago, and the here is my > two cents worth about it: > > runtime is indeed 350K! ...so I will never be able to free up enough > space on my Palm III to run any AppForge proggies. > > They "gave" me a Handspring Visor for the project, so I can at least run > the program on a real pda, but there is a noticeable lag time between > when you tap the icon and when the first screen shows up. > > One of the nice things is you can read and write PDBs from a desktop > application, which is great for making canned pdbs. > > no support for passing user-defined data types (read 'structs') to > functions. > > the widgets are all non-palm, but they are consistent, and only a couple > of them take a while to figure out (AFOwnerDrawGrid!). > > In my spare time I have been learning how to use pilrc and gcc; I like > it better though the learning curve is a little steeper. > > If I were starting from scratch tomorrow I would have gone with C, > PocketC, or NSBasic just to retain the wider potential client base that > might not be ready to part with their Palm III or V yet. > > (If only I could write Palm proggies in PERL!) > > David Martin > qrsparadigm.com > > -- Dustin Davis http://www.shiblon.com -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
GCC Debugger
Can anyone provide me with the GCC debugger in action. I'm still confused as to how it is supposed to work... Thanks! :D -- Dustin Davis http://www.shiblon.com -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
Cygwin help [OT]
I'm hoping there are experienced Cygwin users here... I want to use a run command in TextPad to open my project and compile my code... I'm guessing I can do this with a batch file and a some sort of initialization file. In dos I typed "bash --help" and noticed there is a "-- init-file" option. Can someone tell me how to set this up? I'm guessing my init file would have these commands to compile: cd MyProject make Thanks, :D -- Dustin Davis http://www.shiblon.com -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
