As far as I have figured out, most tutorials rely on using certain hackmanagers
- which I don't want to use.
Is my assumption correct that
- using SysGetTrapAddress and SysSetTrapAddress is more or less what I need on
preOS5 devices?
- using SysGetTrapAddress and SysPatchEntry is the stuff I need on OS5 devices?
Hi,
as some might know, AppForge has gone out of business and the new
owner of the IP (Oracle) is not interested in supporting the existing
developer community.
Keeping the IDE running is a solvable problem, but the second problem
are the clients.
There are ways to keep the client in "trial" mode (because this is
stored in saved preferences), but the user still get's the "this is a
trial version" nag screen.
One developer managed to write an app for PPC that runs in the
background and simply clicks the nag screen if it occurs.
As PalmOS is not a multitasking OS, this approach will not work here.
My idea:
"hacking" the trap table and pointing to a custom function that passes
FrmAlert and/or FrmCustomAlert calls to the orignal API functions
only, if it's NOT the AF nag screen.
I'm not unfamiliar with CW, but never did write any "hack" (instead
"wasted" my time to create custom modules for the AF client ...), so
can somebody point to a nice and simple ;) tutorial for writing
"hacks"? Using stuff like HackMaster et al is not necessary/usefull bc
most of the apps are used on dedicated devices which are meant solely
for running a defined group of applications.
regards,
Ingbert
