I am so much confused about using this forum. I tried to post from Yahoo! Groups, it failed, and tried making a reply, it might have worked. I think I have made double posintg. Sorry.
Question: How I can post a new message to palm-dev-forum from Yahoo! groups? I am sending this message again just to be sure. ----- In a previous post as per the URL: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/palm-dev-forum/message/89662 I listed an Algorithm to process Text String with Arabic Characters to perform Auto-Shaping. It is possible for me to convert this algorithm to C Language and compile it using Cygwin/prc-tools, and I can use it in my applications for Palm to process Arabic Text Properly. So far, so good, no problem... Well... What is the problem? How I can install this small utility program in Palm OS 5.x so that it will work for all other applications, not only my own application. Let us take a simple example. If you take any Palm OS API that will write a String to the Palm Screen. How is it possible to intercept this API and capture the input sting to be displayed, re-format it as per the algorithm I mentioned earlier, and pass back the formatted string to the original API for normal processing and final display to the screen. My specific question is how we can implement such requirement on Palm OS 5.x? If you speak of Windows Platform or the Old DOS Platform, this process is called Interrupt Redirection and TSR Routines (Terminate and Stay Resident). In such platform, it is very well known how to do such thing.
