My app. has few forms. I've implemented pagercard support (Motorola,
pagercard for Palm II). Mechanism for receiving and handling pages is
trigged via special lounch code independently of the rest of app. (running
is seized while that pager code executes). Now, I have to update the 1st
form by info received via pager and I'm looking for the most elegant way
to pass a kind of alarm to the form so that it can grab appropriate data
and be updated.
I thought that I might generate a custom event by pager function that
could be handled by my 1st form event handler.
But, the page (and my event) can come when the 1st form isn't active, and
then I'll loose update alarm. So, the overkill soultion would be to set a
flag by pager function when message is received and then generate custom
events periodicaly within AppEventLoop while it is not handled. And again
EvtGetEvent is set to WaitForever mode and I'd like to keep that setting
because of whole bunch of other events I have to handle.
So, dear colleagues, what solution would you suggest as the most elegant
one?
Thanks
