C++ streams?

2000-04-05 Thread Jarmo Sarantila
I wonder if anybody has managed to get C++ streams to link in CW6 with 3.5 updates. I know that streams are not officially supported, but we are porting existing code, which uses heavily C++ streams for storing and retrieving data. I'd like to create a special stream to do input/output to palm dat

I'm not completely certain about this answer, but I had a similar problem when my code got too large. I was trying to call a function that was over 32k away :-( Take a look at your map file to see where your functions will be located in memory. If this is the problem you can: 1) try to rearrange

Closing the port isn't the problem, cause during the operation the port isn't closed at all. And my program need to check the port constantly for a input signal and when I use SysTaskDelay I won't be able to do this. But Thanks for the effort, Patrick Heynen >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/05/00 04:18

Re: Sending Serial Char Including some source code

2000-04-05 Thread Ray Rodrick
There is a bug in the original serial driver that causes the last character transmitted to be chopped when the serial port is closed. You will need to add a small delay before closing the port. I do a SysTaskDelay(5) before I close the port. Regards, Ray - Original Message - From: Pa

OS 3.3 and underlined fields or SDK3.3 ?

2000-04-05 Thread Danko Radic
Maybe this was already mentioned but... After instaling PalmOS 3.3, my text fields developed under SDK3.0 with 'underlined' feature ON behave differently. The text is *really* underlined (not just dotted line, but full line) and the rest of the field (blank lines) are dotted. If I set underlined c

This doesn't sound like an OS problem. I would check your code and make sure you're not sending the data twice. Posting some of your code might also help pinpoint the problem. -Original Message- From: Patrick Heynen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Palm Developer Forum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date:
