I'm current patching DmDeleteDatabase (for specific needs of my app) but
I'm running into some problems when installing a new version of the app over
the top of an older version (because DmDeleteDatabase gets called to delete
the old version). So I need to know, in my hack, whether or not the palm is
currently Syncing w/ the desktop.
I've tried intercepting the 'sysAppLaunchCmdSyncRequestLocal' launch
command and setting an application preference to 'true' using
'PrefSetAppPreferences' and then setting it back to false when I get a
'sysAppLaunchCmdSyncNotify' launch command (my code is shown below). Which
in theory, should work perfectly for finding out whether it is syncing or
not. But it doesn't seem to be. So I'm asking is there anyway to check and
see whether the palm is currently syncing or could anyone show me something
wrong w/ my code.
When I get a 'sysAppLaunchCmdSyncRequestLocal' or
'sysAppLaunchCmdSyncRequestRemote' launch command I do:
Boolean syncing = true;
PrefSetAppPreferences(AppFileCreator, MyPrefrenceID, MyAppVersion, &syncing,
sizeof(Boolean), true);
When I get a 'sysAppLaunchCmdSyncNotify' launch command I do:
Boolean syncing = false;
PrefSetAppPreferences(AppFileCreator, MyPrefrenceID, MyAppVersion, &syncing,
sizeof(Boolean), true);
To check whether it is syncing or not I do:
Boolean syncing;
UInt16 size = sizeof(Boolean);
PrefGetAppPreferences(AppFileCreator, MyPreferenceID, &syncing, &size,
true);
Thanks in advance for all your help.....
