You need quite a few of functionality, but it basically comes to this: You will find the serial manager API in the Palm OS Developer reference. Similar documentation is avilable in MSDN for the desktop side of it (I assume your desktop client will be Windows). Examples of communication can be best found in the sources of Palm OS Emulator, thanx to Palm and Keith ;-)
Connecting via USB will take you quite some time thanks to Palm and won't be infinite thanks to Keith and the Emulator sources again. If you are inexperienced Palm programmer and less experienced Windows programmer, consider licensing a solution. It may take you quite some time to work out the details of a stable communication. However, a basic standard serial communication should be relaitvely easy to set up. - bobby -----Original Message----- From: Alexander Galkin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2002 3:27 PM To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: Re: Initiating connection with Palm device I am completely OK with server application to be a separate UI PRC app that is launched explicitly and thus Palm device is turned into server listening mode. I just don't know how to do this. What type of communication should I choose? You are talking about opening a USB port as a serial port and awaiting instructions. How do I open USB port as serial port from palm app and how to I connect to it from desktop PC app? What's the port name? -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
