The day a PC becomes required to develop for Palm OS devices is the day
I'll look for something else to develop for ;)
Fortunately, the emulator is here (and I never even used the simulator
on Mac before, so...)

Given a card number and a local ID, you can iterate through all the
databases on the card with DmGetDatabase and check if any of them match the
local ID.
I would expect this to be a /little/ bit faster than searching for the
database by name. However, I'm not certain if this is too useful,
Now there's a great idea! For the listed ROMs you don't have, just click
this Download button.
Except how would you enforce registered users vs. invalid users
who have POSE?

Hi,
I have an app that requires Palm OS 2.0 or later. On one of its forms is a
table that needs to be shown or hidden based on certain criteria. Since
FrmHideObject does work correctly on tables until 4.0, I could not use it.
Until recently, I simply set the table's attr.usable bit to true or
That's well and good for those who have an i705...but how about for those of

I'm trying to avoid DmFindDatabase. For example, if an app initially
discovers a database's local ID via DmFindDatabase, stashes the ID in a
record in another database, quits, and then in some subsequent invocation
wants to use the stashed ID. For that to be safe, there has to be a way to
Have you tried explicitly checking the OS version in your set_table_usable
function? That is if you have the OS that has fixed the problem, then do
nothing, otherwise, set the attribute. I don't know how long this
technique will last because if people start to change the table's data

Doesn't that imply that the OS potentially has to update the local ID of

Scratch that - looking at the database list with Insider shows that they're
not stored alphabetically. It's a hash table, perhaps?

Hi,
I am working on enhancing an application that I did not originally
develop. I want to change the scrollbar behavior in a form but I can't
figure out how to do this. I am also new to Palm form development, so
be patient... ;-)
The form that I want to enhance currently uses up and down
I wouldn't recommend attempting to validate a database's LocalID. As you
said, it's just a card-relative handle. If you attempt to access the LocalID
after the database has been deleted, the following outcomes are possible:
1. Nothing else occupies this space in memory, and your access fails
I am trying to figure out a way to launch my application from the hard buttons and
have it go to a specific screen.
I would seem that I could use the following, for example, to set the Date book Hard
Button to launch the application with the Creator ID of 'STRT'.
PrefSetPreference
This means that heuristics will have to be used to verify that a dbID still
corresponds to the same database, like requiring a match on the database
name, creator ID and db type. This isn't guaranteed to work...
Fundamentally the problem is that a dbID is basically the same thing as a
pointer,
A suggestion I had earlier:
Make several small 'stub' apps that you link to the individual buttons.
Each app calls your main app with different parameters.

Todd, I don't think the databases of an application
will get deleted if you replace the application
with a new version during hotsync.
Correct. You might want to warn your users not to delete the old version
before installing the new one.

a reset fixes the problem, so it seems to me that maybe either the Info
menu does not query the 'tver' resource every time, but rather only at a
reset, or somehow the application database does not get updated properly
after modification and it takes a reset to kick things into a known state.
Please guide me on the following :

If all you want is something simple like date and time you compiled,

If your application needs to handle Jog Dial events itself, it can disable
