I am using the serial manager to read in a string. I am sending the string
from the palm, and reading it on the emulator. The string is stored in a
BytePtr array called pPointer. To convert the BytePtr to a CharPtr so it
can be displayed using a FrmCustomAlert so i can see what data was sent. I
use the following code to convert it to a CharPtr.
x = *pPointer[index];
y = (CharPtr)*pPointer;
FrmCustomAlert( ErrorAlert, y, "", "" );
The problem is when i put in the FrmCustomAlert line, y changes. I don't
know why. Using the debugger i set a breakpoint right after the frm is
displayed, and it shows that x doesn't have the same value as y. It has a
random character that is displayed as an outlined heart in the form. But
when i removed the FrmCustomAlert line, and use the debugger, i see that
both x and y have the values i expect them too. The problem appears to be
with the FrmCustomAlert line, but have no idea why that would change the
value of y since it doesn't change it. Or does it? Any suggestions? I also
tried using the CtlSetLable with the following line,
CtlSetLabel( getObject( formP, MainDisplayPopTrigger ), y );
and the same thing happened, y wasn't what i expected it to be, but it was a
different character than before. I really have no idea why this is
happening.
Thanks
Andrew
