Hi all,
I have a problem in converting my program written in CW5 (palmOS 3.0) to CW7
(palmOS 3.5). Listed below is my sample program in CW5 (which I could
compile and run), but in CW7 creates error:
-------------------------------- (this procedure is fine)
VoidPtr GetObjectPtr (Word objectID)
{
FormPtr frm;
frm = FrmGetActiveForm ();
if( frm )
return (FrmGetObjectPtr (frm, FrmGetObjectIndex (frm, objectID)));
else
return NULL;
}
--------------------------- This one create error:
CharPtr GetButtonDesc (Word objectID)
{
CharPtr fldChar;
fldChar = CtlGetLabel(GetObjectPtr(objectID));
return fldChar;
}
The error is : illegal implicit convertion from 'const char *' to 'char *'
However, I have tried to add (CharPtr) in front of CtlGetLabel function, as
decribed below
fldChar = (CharPtr) CtlGetLabel(GetObjectPtr(objectID));
Then, the error is out.
My question is : Why by adding type of variable (CharPtr) is eliminating
the error? Is this a new feature implemented in CW version 7. Before it
works just fine in CW version 5.
Any help is greatly appreciated....
S Santoso
