We're looking for a way of making our app able to be sub-launched (via SysLaunchApp) from existing applications, without necessarily requiring the existing application to be changed.
How do we allow an existing application to sub-launch our app (1) without causing the existing running application to exit, and (2) without changing the source code of the existing application? Essentially, we would need to add what amounts to a system-level dialog, much like the Find utility, that can be invoked from any application. We thought we could either add our dialog to an existing system-level soft-button, like the Find button, or somehow transparently add a menu item to every application when it starts up. This dialog would then sub-launch our app. Is there a way to do this? I was wondering if this so-called "hacks" technique might help, or if there's another standard way to do this, which would also work on Palm OS 5. Thanks for any hints. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
