PC App from a Palm App.
Hello all, I have a Palm application that works with data (database, records..) and serial communication (with a proprietary device). I would like to know which would be the easiest development tool to learn and develop the "same" application into the PC side (Win32), in such a way that I could reuse the code from the Palm app. The Palm application was developed in C using CodeWarrior R6. Any input would be appreciated. thanks Marcelo -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/

RE: PC App from a Palm App.
Hmmm...well, you would be looking at a major design task to support all the Palm OS API calls. I would think using MSVC++ is as good a place to start as any (you'll get many opinions on this). But I wouldn't think the environment would be as critical as the code itself. As I mentioned, you're going to have to implement or stub in a huge amount of API function calls. That is the cruxt of any "reusable" code and the other stuff around it is just the basic 'glue' that is written in C. just my $.02 John -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Marcelo Gorini Sent: Monday, December 04, 2000 4:11 PM To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: PC App from a Palm App. Hello all, I have a Palm application that works with data (database, records..) and serial communication (with a proprietary device).

RE: PC App from a Palm App.
Forget about anything that deals with UI code; the rest would be relatively portable. But considering the modern IDEs for PC development wouldn't it be easier to just build it the ground up? Delphi or VB should do great job for you. - bobby -Original Message- From: Marcelo Gorini [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 04, 2000 3:11 PM To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: PC App from a Palm App. Hello all, I have a Palm application that works with data (database, records..) and serial communication (with a proprietary device).

You sound as if you will need a conduit at some point, and you might be better aiming for code reuse between the PC app and the conduit (you can use both Delphi and VB to write conduits).

Well, the easiest method would be to distribute the emulator with your app! :) "Marcelo Gorini" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:32072@palm-dev-forum... > > Hello all, > > I have a Palm application that works with data (database, records..) > and serial communication (with a proprietary device).

RE: PC App from a Palm App.
That's true! :) Thanks for all inputs... I will probably begin to develop with Visual C++; the main reason is because I already have the software (I do not know how to use yet thought), so would be cheapest way to begin this.

If you do not really know how to use VC++ it will surely be cheaper to get a copy of Delphi and start with it. Money aren't everything in development. The learning curve of MFC is vry long. - bobby -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
