What could be clearer then "The currently is not a simulator that supports it." :)
In any case, WinSetScallingMode is part of the QVGA feature set which will first be part of OS 5.3. To my knowledge none of the licensees have implemented on their own for currently shipping devices. At some point there will be, of course, simulators and devices that support this call. But at the moment I don't think anything supports it. Keep an eye on the seeding area for OS 5.3 seeding. I think you need to separate off the SDK from the OS versions. Newer versions of the SDK will of course have newer API calls. Some of these will not be present on an older version of the ROM. There are lots of calls in the latest SDK that are not available on any OS 4 device, right? But that does not mean that OS 4 is not compliant with the SDK. You can still use the latest SDK to write programs that will run on OS 4 or OS 5.0. You will just need to verify what is present and what is not. That is why we encourage you to check the version of the Window Manager etc. before making certain calls. -Ezekiel Sanborn de Asis PalmSource Developer Support ********************** "The currently is not a simulator that supports it.": is it a hardware function? Else the ROM should contain the code of the function, or is the ROM supplied with the tungsten simulator not OS 5 R2 compliant? So for the moment I could implement the trap call for the GCC and I would be able to achieve the same behavior, couldn't I? By snipping Somewhat in SDK R2, should it be service 21 in the HighDensityDispatch trap 0xA3EC? While this could work, what is its portability issue? Does the trap remains in future versions of the OS or is the API the only rule of evolution? And what is the politic of palm about the evolution of such kind of half supported functions? Thanks for your attention.

WinSetScallingMode is being added as part of the QVGA support in OS 5.3. The call was not initially part of the high density API for OS 5. The end result is that you need to check the window manager version and verify that it is 5 or greater before trying to make the call. Or you can check to see if the trap is implemented for that one call... The currently is not a simulator that supports it. -Ezekiel Sanborn de Asis PalmSource Developer Support -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
