Using CodeWarrior 6.0 on Windows NT 4.0 w/s
I am trying to figure out how to beam a database from one Palm device to
another. It is very confusing.
Is beaming a complete database an activity that is natively supported by
Palm? Are either of the following two statements correct?
If I beam a database to a device that has my application on it:
1) Will MY application need to be running to receive the database?
~OR~
2) Will the Palm OS receive the beamed data and create the database for me?
Then launch my application.
The documentation is, as we all know, vague. There are PowerPoint
presentations on the palmos site that mention a couple API calls,
ExgSendDatabase() and ExgReceiveDatabase(). These calls seem to be
fictional, I can't find them in the documentation or header files. I did
find other calls:
ExgDBRead()
ExgDBWrite()
DeleteProc()
ReadProc()
WriteProc()
The docs on these calls are the vague part. The call ExgDBRead() uses
ReadProc() to "read in a database transmitted by a beaming operation using
the exchange manager" Do I still use ExgPut() and ExgSend()?
If someone has a small example that shows how to "beam" a database, I'd
really appreciate seeing it.
Thanks in advance for an help or suggestions,
-jeff
