Re: Keep network connection alive in the background

Re: SDK Developer Suite Help! How Do I create an app from a C++ source file.
You may not be aware of this, but C was designed without any I/O specification. I/O was defined through function libraries which quickly became standardized and later became part of a formal standard. You can see the value of this if you look at embedded programming where typical peripherals are not available. Palm uses GCC for 68K programming. I doubt that you will find another compiler that is more standard. What is not available is the terminal interface that your programming example desires. You should find a read the Palm OS Companion and find a document on the Zen of Palm so you can understand the platform as you start developing software.

It seems to work if I set my simulator's color depth to 2 colors (black and white). The drawing becomes more garbled as I increase the color depth on the Sim. It also works fine if the drawing is less than 39 pixels wide. Here is the code: theGadgetIdx = FrmGetObjectIndex(frmP, gadgetID); data = (SignatureGadgetData *)FrmGetGadgetData(frmP, theGadgetIdx); //This is a function I wrote to return the dimensions of the image if (!ExistsDrawingCanvasBitmap(data, minX, maxX, minY, maxY)) return 0; //Copy the drawing from the original bitmap to a new bitmap of the cropped size newBitmap = BmpCreate(maxX - minX + 1, maxY - minY + 1, 1, NULL, err); newBitmapWin = WinCreateBitmapWindow(newBitmap, err); //create rectangle to indicate where to copy from in the source bitmap rect = new RectangleType; rect-topLeft.x = minX; rect-topLeft.y = minY; rect-extent.x = maxX - minX + 1; rect-extent.y = maxY - minY + 1; WinCopyRectangle (data-bitmapWin, newBitmapWin, rect, 0, 0, winPaint); I'm guessing this might have something to do with color tables. I've played around with that with no success but I was probably doing it wrong.

Re: Copying a bitmap
I don't know. I suspect that high density bitmaps that may be present on simulators and newer devices may be V3. Have you tried using POSE with a color ROM? Those would not use V3.

Re: How does one set a Palm's Date/Time From Conduit?
Unless you have a strong desire to write your own, you can use TimeCopy (free) which syncs the PDA time to the PC time during each HotSync. JamesS Jerry Martinez wrote: Thanks!

Re: Palm Emulator for PPC devices
I tried it and it seemed to work but I need conduits for my software. I have seen references to POSE being ported to a PPC but can't find any links that resolve to valid links. Does anyone have a source? JamesS John Sutton wrote: Hi Luc, It hadn't gone unnoticed by me ;) I'm scared to say that anything that runs on PPC is good, but Styletap is honestly amazing. I didn't want (read couldn't be bothered) to port all our applications to PPC, I got hold of a copy of Styletap, and *all* my Palm apps run flawlessly on the HP iPaq. The only thing missing is that it doesn't have the concept of a HotSync, but that wasn't too big an obstacle. Got no work to do now!

Re: The Simulator Gremlins
I agree that the Simulators are Not Ready for Prime Time and I use them just as you describe to find specific failures. It wouldn't be so bad if the program failed gracefully but most of the time it fails catastrophically with the send info to Microsoft error. In addition to the poor quality of the Simulators there are so many features missing or poorly designed. A saved session will not load on another system and sometimes even on the native system. There is no warning on closing that you will lose the data up to that point. Documentation is sketchy and it seems each version has a different set of keys for the 5 way navigator. It's been noted that in some versions, the global variables are offset by 2 bytes when reported to the debugger. Gremlins don't even log what events are being performed so there is no way to determine what caused the failure. JamesS Richard Coutts wrote: Running Gremlins on POSE has been invaluable in flushing an embarassing large number of bugs in my app. Plus, they're just plain darn fun to watch do their thing. But, I'm not having much success running Gremlins on the Simulators. The Switch After option, which is great for limiting the number of events needed to find the bug, still hasn't been implemented, according to http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/docs/simulator/Simulator_Using.html. Even worse, the handful of times I run Gremlins on the Simulator, it quickly crashes out (the simulator, not my app). So, for the moment I'm using the Simulator for debugging only and POSE for Gremlins. Are other people running into the same issues? For obvious reasons, I'd really like to run Gremlins on the Simulator.

Identifying hidden objects
Is there an official way to identify objects that have been hidden with FrmHideObject? I can't find a function which would indicate that but Palmsource documents discourage poking through the structures.

Re: How to tell when user opens a T3 ?
You can use a keyboard combination to slide the T3. Here are the commands I've found for various simulators. It would be nice to get them all documented in one place...

Hi,
Has anyone experienced this error?
Case 1:
For better illustration, a DB has 3 records like
{ada, 123}
{ben, 632}
{cat, 548}
When I want to display following in a list
ada
ben
cat
I modify the code from
http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/docs/recipes/lists.html#dynamic
it can display the itemsbut after that, when I click any button, the
fatal error occurs.
Case 2:
This time, I display the names of databases inside Palm, NOT records in a
DB. It works and no fatal error.
So, I think, is it related to the use of memory handle / pointer?
P.S. I use Palm Tungsten T.
Please help,
John
