I don't think that's what Rick was after. As I understood the question, he has one PRC and he wants it to be able to tell, at run time, whether it is in the emulator or in a real palm pilot. Perhaps looking into the behavior of the various Host*() functions might lead you to a solution. Reading the Emulator docs might not hurt *grin*. -- Adam Wozniak Chief Architect Surveyor Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED]4548 Broad Street [EMAIL PROTECTED] San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 -- For information on using the ACCESS Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.access-company.com/developers/forums/
RE: Emulator OR Pilot?
Yes Adam you are right, but as far as the emulator documentation and/or
header files, maybe I didn't look hard enough but.. I didn't find anything
like what what Chris Faherty suggested (and it worked), the following:
if (FtrGet('pose', 0, &temp) == ftrErrNoSuchFeature) inposer = false;
else inposer=true;
thanks for the input folks.

Those are compile time directives for conditional inclusion of code. I
don't think that's what Rick was after. As I understood the question,

If you know your app only runs on 3.0 or later devices, you can use
the HostControl.h calls, for example:
inPoser = HostGetHostID() == hostIDPalmOSEmulator;

Good catch: I wasn't fully awake this morning when I grabbed those lines
from an old project (back in the days when I used the Simulator because the
Emulator wasn't as handy as it is now).
I'd use the Ftr Manager approach suggested earlier by Chris Faherty:
if (FtrGet('pose', 0, &temp) == ftrErrNoSuchFeature)
// Not on POSE

Those are compile time directives for conditional inclusion of code. I
don't think that's what Rick was after. As I understood the question,
he has one PRC and he wants it to be able to tell, at run time,
whether it is in the emulator or in a real palm pilot.
Perhaps looking into the behavior of the various Host*() functions
might lead you to a solution. Reading the Emulator docs might not
hurt *grin*.

Re: Emulator OR Pilot?
I think so. I remember seeing some code in the includes that mentioned if emulated vs real device. (I think) Dig around in the includes, but i think it can be done.
