Re: Accessing the Address Book data

[mlv srinivas]

Hi Henk,

Thanks for your advice I did the same thing how you suggested, but still I have the problem while displaying the data on the form. The actual problem is I'm getting some junk characters, where I'm getting the actual count(number of records in my Address Book), please suggest me I'm new to the PlamOS programming.
Here is my code :

Err getAddressDatabase()
{
MemHandle mh;
UInt16 cardNo=0;
UInt16 recordNum;
UInt16 index = dmMaxRecordIndex;
short width = 0, height = 5;
UInt16 numdatabases;
Err err =0;
char* pText;
numdatabases= DmNumDatabases(cardNo);

dbvar= DmOpenDatabaseByTypeCreator (addrDBType,sysFileCAddress,dmModeReadOnly);
recordNum = DmNumRecords(dbvar);
for(index=0;index<recordNum;index++)
{
//mh = DmQueryRecord( dbvar,index );
mh=DmGetRecord(dbvar,index);
pText= (char*)MemHandleLock(mh);
WinDrawChars(pText,StrLen(pText),width,height);
height=height+10;
MemPtrUnlock(pText);
DmReleaseRecord( dbvar, index, true );

}

return err;
}

Thanks in Advance
Srini
