RE: Please Wait

2003-08-29 Thread LionScribe 
I cannot make head or toes of your code. What I can advise is that most
probably the other FrmGotoForm() is called immediately after the first one
(the function does not stop when you call FrmGotoForm(), so you do not see
the first form.

Subject: Please Wait


Hello

I want to add the " Please Wait  " that appears when application delete menu
option is selected..
What I did was , I created a form of width 70 and height 20 and left origin
40, top origin 80...
Put a label of Please Wait..
And i called FrmGotoForm(PleaseWaitForm) in UIPalmMain() which is called in
PilotMain()...
 Shown below is in UIPalmMain() :


case sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch:

 if( CheckPalmOff() )   //check if the sensor has given keyboard off or
palm off events
 {
   FrmGotoForm(PleasewaitForm);
   AppEventLoop();

error = AppStart();

if (error == ErrCommError )
 { // if error in AppStart ,  don't launch the UI & return .
  DriverStop() ;
 return error;
 }

 // start application by opening the main form
 // and then entering the main event loop
 FrmGotoForm(MainForm);
  AppEventLoop();

 AppStop();
}

break;

And I have handles frmLoad event and frmOpent Event properly..
But I can't see the form when I click my UI icon..

Can anyone help me out

Thanks in advance

Regards
Marianne

Try this sort of thing

pDialog = FrmInitForm(formID);
FrmDrawForm(pDialog);
... do the thing that takes awhile. not good to take too long...
FrmEraseForm(pDialog);
FrmDeleteForm(pDialog);

Another option is to implement a progress dialog.

Re: Please wait, the emulator is resetting.

2001-08-14 Thread Chris DiPierro 

A friend and I asked a Metrowerks person (sorry forget who) at a local event
about this and they said it was basically just wasted time and hitting
cancel would be fine. It's true the emulator (or device) is resetting during
that time, but CW triggers that right away, the rest of the progress bars is
just time-killer.  I suspect it's there just to prevent you from hitting F5
and trying to run the app while the device resets.

I don't have the details about everything that is going on between the CW
debugger and the emulator, but basically it is doing just what it says:
resetting the emulator.

If you think about this, I'm sure the answer will hit you.
