Re: Regd VFS
Richard
while (volIterator != vfsIteratorStop)
{
err = VFSVolumeEnumerate(&volRefNum, &volIterator);
if (err != errNone)
{
break ;
}
else
{
err = VFSFileOpen(volRefNum, fileName, vfsModeRead, &filePtr);
if (err == errNone)
{
MsgLog ("Open successful");
break;
}
}
}
I am using the following code to read a file from the expansion card. On the
device if the filename is "/palm/temp.jpg" it can open the image for
reading. I want to get the same behaviour on my PC using simulator. I have
tried "c:/palm/temp.jpg" as the filename (the file is present on my pc). But
it returns an error that indicating that the file couldnot be found. I think
the simulator is searching for the file some where else. Where should I
place my file so that my program running on the simulator can access it.

Re: Regd VFS
Deepak, You specify the entire path when using VFSDirCreate -- from the "Palm OS Companion" -- "All parts of the path except the last component must exist." With POSE, the card is simulated on your desktops file system. E.g., you may create a path called "/PALM/Programs/MyApp," where "/PALM" is the root directory of the Card. But, you're actually creating the path "C:/Card1/PALM/Programs/MyApp" on your PC. You can drag and drop files to your path on your PC and then seem them show up on the "Card" in POSE. It's very convenient. VFS programming itself I found to be a big pain, IMO. I don't envy you starting in on this. There's an excellent article at http://www.hhcenterprise.com/Developer/Expansion_1.htm that should get you going.
