Re: Checking for a camera
Is there any reason that this code wouldn't work?
if (DmFindDatabase(cardNo,kCameraLibName) != 0 ||
DmFindDatabase(cardNo,kCamLibName) != 0)
{
hasCamera = true;
}
I realize that if the camera does need to be loaded, I've created extra work
for the app. But the app will check for the camera every time, and only load it
about 1/4 of the time. Is the DmFindDatabase call so costly that I'm still
better off loading the library?

Let me start my comment by saying that blocking the hard butotns goes
agains the zen of palm, so it should only be used in extreme
cercumstances. That being said, here is how we block the hard keys.
In the event loop function, add a function that evaluates the events
before SysHandleEvent has a chance to.
if (!BlockEvents(event))
{
if (! SysHandleEvent(event))
{
if (! MenuHandleEvent(0, event, error))
{
if (! AppHandleEvent(event))
{
FrmDispatchEvent(event);
}
}
In your BlockEvents function, check for keyDownEvent. If it is a key
that you want to block, return true. This will essential key the hard
key pressed from doing anything.
It's not perfect, but it is the best solution that we found.

Works for me (with the standalone Palm OS Debugger). Open the Files tab in Palm OS Debugger (or select Window - Files Window from the main menu) after you have loaded your prc in the debugger. You should have an Executables and Symbolics tree. Check that your source files are in the symbolics tree with Path spec. If not, you can add the path manually (just click on the file name). Main problems is that the COFF format does not store the complete path name of the source file in the object file. With sourc, object and prc files in the same directory it should work. And of course you need to both compile and link with '-g' option, otherwise nothing works. HTH Ton van Overbeek I still do see my symbolics. I am calling m68k-palmos-gcc and build-prc with -g. Do I need to use it anywhere else? Does it make a difference that prc is part 68k and part arm (linked with Peallink)? In Palm OS debugger, I see my prc, but the Symbolics tree is empty. When I right click on the symbolics node, I get an option to Add Symbolics File..., but I don't have an axf, elf, or psym file associated with my project. You said I could add the source files by just clicking on the file name. Can you elaborate on that?

In my application, I create a new form with FrmNewForm, setting the modal
flage to true. I display it with FrmDoDialog. But when I run it on the T5,
the focus ring is not drawn. I though all Modal forms had the focus ring
on by default. Is this a bug/loop-hole in the OS?
As a work around, I tried to turn the focus ring on automatically by
calling
FrmSetNavState(FrmGetActiveForm(), kFrmNavStateFlagsObjectFocusMode);
on winEnterEvent and that didn't work. I also called it on the first
nilEvent after winEnterEvent and that didn't work either.
Is there a way to turn on the focus ring on dynamically created forms?
Eric
If you want to set the focus to a specific control you need to use:
FrmGlueNavObjectTakeFocus(...)
That glue function works both for the old navigation system and the new one.
I can call FrmGlueNavObjectTakeFocus and it draws the focus ring, but I
still can't move it around.
I've tried calling
FrmSetNavState(frmP, kFrmNavStateFlagsObjectFocusMode);
before I call FrmDoDialog, when I recieve the winEnterEvent, and when I
recieve the first ctlEnterEvent. Whenever I call it, the T5 simulator
throws these two fatal alerts.
HsNav.c, Line:6660, Memory allocation failed
HsNav.c, Line:5873, Error resetting vertical order
The call to FrmSetNavState returns an error code of 0x3A04,
uilibErrObjectNotFound.
Is there some undocumented OS limitation that prevents dynamically
created forms from going into Object Focus mode?

For Zire71 and Treo 600, please check the CameraV3 folder in the Samples folder of SDK. This seems to indicate that V3 works on the older devices and V2 on the newer devices. Is that correct?

This is a new collection of tools supporting software development for Palm OS Cobalt and Palm OS Garnet. You can download this release from http://www.palmos.com/dev/dl/dl_tools/dl_pods/ It is available as a single ZIP file (230MB) or as a split ZIP file (twelve 20MB parts). There are separate source code downloads for components distributed under open source licenses. This release is only intended to run on systems with Microsoft Windows 2000 and Microsoft Windows XP; other host operating systems, including older versions of Windows, are not supported at this time. This release should not be installed over an existing PODS 0.1.0 or 0.1.1 setup. Please uninstall that version before installing this alpha release. Projects created in older versions of PODS will need to be recreated. Key Features of PODS 1.0: - support for development for Palm OS Protein APIs (x86 and ARM), 68K, and PACE Native Objects - based on the open-source Eclipse IDE, version 2.1.2 and Eclipse C/C++ Developer Tools, version 1.2.1. - Managed Make support eliminates need to manually edit makefiles - integrated debugging support for Palm OS Simulators, Palm OS Emulator (POSE), and most devices with serial or USB connectivity - standalone Palm OS Resource Editor with support for XRD resource format - integrated build environment and command-line build tools - bundled SDKs and simulators for Palm OS Garnet (5.4 and earlier) and Palm OS Cobalt (6.0.1) This is an alpha-testing release, covered under the Prototype Agreement of the PalmSource developer program. We are planning on an official 1.0 release later this summer, so please download and evaluate this software at your earliest opportunity. There are known bugs listed in the release notes that will be fixed, but we are also interested in having you to report any problems you find with PODS to PalmSource using the bug reporting form at http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/bugs/ Our highest priority is solving problems with the build tools, the Palm OS-specific preferences, and debugging. Issues that are specific to the Eclipse environment outside the scope of our integration with PalmSource's tools may not be addressed before the 1.0 final release. All bug reports will be reviewed by PalmSource tools developers, but you will not get a direct response to your reports.

I was looking at Keyboard.h and there are a bunch of functions that aren't documented, so I don't know what they do. I see there is a #define for the return key, but I don't know if or how I would use this definition. Does setting the field as a single line field fix it for you? No, I need to limit the field to exactly 3 lines. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

SysNotifyRegister and memory leaks
If I pass a data pointer to SysNotifyRegister, when does that memory get freed?

printing from a Palm app
I'm looking into some printing options for my palm app. For bluetooth printing, I am thinking about using PrintBoy. Are there any good alternatives?

shared libriaries and accessing unused portions of the stack
I have a rather large shared library. (40K size, 68 entry points). When I compile it with in debug mode it runs fine, but when I compile it in release mode, it crashed when I call certain functions. The eroro message i get is that my application just read from an unused portion of the stack. Since it works in debug mode, I believe the problem is in the project setup.

switching from small to smart code model
I recently had to switch from a small code model to a smart code model. When I did this, I started getting a whole bunch of 'illegal single segment 32-bit reference to' errors. The code is for a shared library. There seems to be on reference error for each entry in the dispatch table. Is it possible to have a smart or large code model in a shared library? If so, how do I get around all of the 32-bit reference errors? thanks Eric Potter -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

problem beaming an app and a library from within the app.
I am trying to write a function that means the current application and
it a shared library. Is this possible? First I send the app then I
send the library. When I run the code, the recieving device asks if
you want to except the app, but it never says anything about the
library. Afterwards, the app is present on the recieving device, but
not the library. Any ideas? Thanks

determining if you've read past the end of a va_list
Is it possible to determine if you've read past the end of a va_list? As far as I can tell, when you go past the end of the list, va_arg returns a pointer that is not NULL, but it is bogus. When this pointer is passed to one of the string api's, the emulator throws a bus error. The value of the pointer is 03FD, but I assume that it is not safe to check against that. I've read in the archives that there is no good way to validate a pointer once it's been allocated.
