Hmm, sounds like the right cable, but I know a 2700 cable will do this. If
you have a 2700 cable and raise DTR into it, the palm will try and do a hot
sync.
You can disable the hotsync action (through the button press anyway) in code
like this in your event loop:
EvtGetEvent(&event, evtWaitForever);
// Ignore Hotsync button... (both of them to be safe)
if ((event.eType == keyDownEvent) &&
TxtCharIsHardKey(event.data.keyDown.modifiers, event.data.keyDown.chr) &&
((event.data.keyDown.chr == vchrHardCradle) || (event.data.keyDown.chr ==
vchrHardCradle2)))
continue;
if (! SysHandleEvent(&event))
if (! MenuHandleEvent(0, &event, &error))
if (! AppHandleEvent(&event))
FrmDispatchEvent(&event);
