Hello there Palm Pilot Gurus!
I am new to Palm Pilot Programming and was wondering if anyone could
point me in the right direction in duplicating the strcpy command to a field on the
PalmPilot. I have started a few tidbits below but am unsure on how to proceed
after I have a handle and pointer. I sure wish this was treated in a more Java
"TextField"
type of way to free the novice like me of all this pointer->handle->memory-lock
stuff. It seems like a lot of trouble to just display a long string of text.
Thanks for your help in advance!!
frm=FrmGetActiveForm();
Word wIDField = FrmGetObjectIndex (frm, ViewMessagesSubField);
FieldPtr pCtlField = (FieldPtr) FrmGetObjectPtr(frm, wIDField);
Handle hText = FldSetTextHandle(pCtlField, NULL);
CharPtr pText =(CharPtr)MemHandleLock(hText);
//Now I want to perform a String copy like function
//ie strcpy(vmsfield, sub_field);
MemHandleUnlock(hText);
FldSetTextHandle(pCtlField, hText);
FldDrawField(hText);
