Got some experiences on Windows/Linux coding, but this palm programming is
totally different. On Windows, we can use ShellExecute(); on Linux, we can use
execXXX. On Palm, what functions can we use? Some APIs in exchange manager do
not seem to be the right one (could be my wrong understanding). Search through
the knowledgebase and the forum and have not found the answer yet.
Here is one part of code that may be close:
void MyLaunchApplication( const Char *sFileName )
{
ExgSocketType exgSocket;
Err eError = errNone;
char sTest[] = "dude dude";
UInt32 dwSize = StrLen( sTest ) + 1;
if( NULL == sFileName )
{
return;
}
MemSet( &exgSocket, sizeof(exgSocket), 0 );
exgSocket.description = (char*) "my testing";
exgSocket.name = (char*) "?_send:test.txt";
exgSocket.type = (char*) ".txt";
if( 0 == ( ExgPut( &exgSocket ) ) )
{
ExgSend( &exgSocket, (char*) sTest, dwSize, &eError );
ExgDisconnect( &exgSocket, eError );
}
}
My question is:
1. Is this the way to launch the application that registers to work on *.txt?
2. If test.txt is already there on the device, why do I need to declare a
buffer <sTest> to send the data over? Or test.txt is the file that the default
application will be used to save the data in?
My test device is treo650.
Thank you.
