Hi !

I wonder if it's possible to load a bitmap into a running application in
a "nice" way.
I know that bitmaps are not stored in the usual "bitmap format" inside
the Palm, but assume that I can send them in the correct format.

If someone has done something like this I would be very grateful to see
some sample code.

One possible way  is to load the bitmap + info of the width and height
and then draw a pixel on the palm at the right position for every black
pixel in the bitmap. Albeit this seems to me being a bit to much
overhead and waste of CPU cycles ?


The reason why I ask is that I'm developing an application (for my MSc
Thesis)  that is supposed to make it possible to use a Palm as a UI to
Ericsson's e-box.
It would be very useful if the e-box could send over bitmaps to the
Palm.

If someone is interested in what the e-box is, take a look at
