The task that i'm trying to accomplish is to set an editable field's (text
box) text. Now i've tried a few things, and i cant get it to work. I've
narrowed my search of API calls down to FldSetText() and FldSetTextHandle().
However, these functions dont take char*'s like good little UI objects, they
take MemHandles to the desired text.
I have no clue how to get a memhandle from a given piece of text. I've tried
MemPtrRecoverHandle(), i've even tried casting (shudder). Nothing seems to
work. Here's some psuedo code:
FieldType* pField = (FieldType*)GetObjectPtr(MainTextField);
char* pText = "hello world";
MemHandle hText;
/* some function goes here to convert pText, into a MemHandle; */
/* hText = SomeFunction(pText) */
FldSetTextPtr(pField, hText);
I'd love for this to work, if someone could plug in SomeFunction() for me --
or give me an idea of how to text a field's text.
Thanks a bunch to everyone in this forum for helping me in my Palm OS
infancy time =)
