This would only apply on a device that is running OS5.0. On a Sonly
Clie, you wouldn't be calling Sony's high resolution library, so the
device will likely think your application is a standard 160x160
application.
If it's only fonts you're worried about, turning on the High Res
assistant might provide all you need.
If you want your whole application to handle 320x320 resolution, you'll
need to download Sony's SDK, and recompile against it, adding a few
calls to change the resolution, control which fonts you're using, etc.
Sony has redefined many of the Win* commands to understand the higher
resolution. This is a good thing, because your application looks
great. This is a bad thing, though, because you'll have to have your
own wrapper calls around such functions:
if (bSonyHires) {
HWWinPaintChars(hrlibRefNum,"String",5,200,300);
} else {
WinPaintChars("String",5,100,150);
}
or, better yet:
void myWinPaintChars(char *string, short len, short x, short y)
{
if (bSonyHires) {
HWWinPaintChars(hrlibRefNum,string,len,x*2,y*2);
} else {
WinPaintChars(string,len,x,y);
}
}
Mind you, this wouldn't get you accurate placement of your fonts, as
they've changed size potentially, too.
Basically, you'll need to suck it and see if it handles it for you.
