I'm pretty sure I'm making an incorrect assumption about how
AttnDoSpecialEffects gets its flag values. With the system preferences set
to vibrate and flash the power led on an m505, I run the following code:
AttnFlagsType flags;
Err tempErr;
flags = kAttnFlagsUseUserSettings;
tempErr = AttnDoSpecialEffects( flags );
POSE doesn't vibrate or flash the power button. With the following code,
however:
AttnFlagsType flags;
Err tempErr;
flags = kAttnFlagsAlwaysLED | kAttnFlagsAlwaysVibrate;
tempErr = AttnDoSpecialEffects( flags );
I get the desired response. My assumption in the first example was that
kAttnFlagsUseUserSettings would cause the value of the system preferences
AttentionFlags value to be read and used without intervention from me. The
docs say:
System-wide preferences determine what means are used to get the user's
attention.
yet it seems to be ignored, suggesting that it's not reading the system
preferences at all.
I had a look at the sysPrefs fields and the right bits seem to get flipped
when changing the user preferences, they just seem to be ignored.
Do I have to use PrefGetPreferences( ) to actually read in the bit
values? Or is there something else I have to do?
