Hi Ken, >1. convert a windows bmp to a pdb > >2. read and display the pdb from a prc >
I wrote a similar program before. I read the bitmap file format (MS site, search for BITMAPFILEHEADER or so), then I read about bitmap on the Palm in the Companion and SDKs. I also read about the format of the PDB file and the source code of PDBMake (http://www.fourmilab.ch/palm/pdbmake/) There is a lot of sample codes about bitmap on the Palmsource site and on this forum. I had 2 programs 1. The PC program read the bitmaps and save them in the PBD file. This PDB file is install on the Palm. When you write the PC program, be careful about the color table and the Endian. 2. The Palm program to read the bitmaps from the database and display them. When the bitmaps is big (>= 65535), I have to split it into 2 or more records. Hope that helps. tnn __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
