I am having a problem with sysAppLaunchCmdSyncNotify. As I understand the
documentation, when my App is installed (either via HotSync or beaming), my
App will receive this launch code. I have been working with this for quite
a while and it is not working. I have looked thru the archives and I see
some posts indicating other people are having problems as well. In fact, in
one post, the author says that having problems with it is a "rite of
passage". Following are the comments made by Philip Sheard on 4 Jan. 2001
regarding sysAppLaunchCmdSyncHotify:

My application doesn't have any databases. But I was under the impression
that the application itself was a database and would receive notification
whenever it was HotSynced. The only thing I can think of is that my
application type is "tdpi" instead of "appl". It is a "plug-in" to another
application and must not show up in the applications menu. Following is a
snippet of the code I use - note I put a SndPlaySystemSound just to see if
that portion of the code is ever run and it isn't.
UInt32 PilotMain( UInt16 cmd, MemPtr cmdPBP, UInt16 launchFlags)
{
switch (cmd)
{
case sysAppLaunchCmdSyncNotify: // when plug-in is installed, set
intialization & expiration dates
//
SndPlaySystemSound(sndStartUp);
// do some initialization here
break;
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave
