I am responsible for maintaining code someone else
created, and we are in the process of modifying some
of the application preferences stored(adding more).
The intention is that we add some additional
preferences, and after the user has synched the
handheld device to install the upgraded version, it
should check upon startup whether the new preferences
can be retrieved from the system. So, I first call
PrefGetAppPreferences and retrieve the size of the
preferences block, then call it again with the
appropriate size preferences structure to retrieve the
actual preferences, whether we need to use the old
preferences structure or the new one with additional
fields.
This seems like the correct thing to do, and works
very well in the emulator. However, it doesn't work
well at all on the actual Palm IIIx(OS version 3.1.1),
where it always seems to say the preferences block is
the new size, and loads the preferences with garbage
for the new fields.
Any help or insight would be appreciated,
James
