Hello fellow Palm developers, We are proud to announce that our two new Palm developer tools, EHF and EHF Assistant, have completed beta test and are now available.
The EHF (event handler framework) is a source code library, distributed as shareware, that provides an event dispatching mechanism for your C/C++ Palm applications. Instead of the current method of handling events, that being events being routed to a single form handler function, the EHF provides a simple to use dispatch map mechanism that routes events to handler functions that are specific to the event being handled. The EHF doesn't require a major learning curve to start using it since it doesn't replace the standard sequence of FrmInitForm, FrmGotoForm, etc. and it doesn't take over your event loop. With the ability to route events to handler functions that are not in a form it also makes it easy to develop custom controls and route events to them. The EHF Assistant is a plug-in for the CodeWarrior development environment (Windows version) that provides an easy to use dialog based interface for manipulating the EHF's dispatch maps. Instead of having to enter the event handler macros by hand you can add them with just a few clicks of the mouse. With the EHF and EHF Assistant you can have a fully featured event dispatching mechanism and visual dispatch map editing capabilities while still using the tools you're familiar with.
