Re: sysAppLaunchCmdGoTo & Datebook on Tungsten E

[Scott D . Schmitz]

OK,

thanks to the information Ben supplied:

>>BTW, the creator codes for the new PIM apps are 'PAdd' for Contacts, 
'PDat'
>>for Calendar, 'PMem' for Memos, and 'PTod' for Tasks.

and Ron's suggestion:

>>Are you sure an application with the creator sysFileCDatebook exists 
on
>>a Tungsten E?   Check the creator signature of the Calendar 
application.
>>If different, does that one work?

I did some further checking and yes the problem seems to be a new 
application!  Guys thanks!

Here's my modified launch code, if anyone has the same problem:

void TDateBookDatabase::GoDateBook(UInt16 inRecordNum)
{
        GoToParamsType*                         gotoParamsP;
        UInt16                                          launchCmd = 
sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch;
        MemPtr                                          launchParamsP = NULL;
        Err                                                     err = 0;
// If we're emulating, do nothing so that Gremlins can be run without 
quitting when we ask to switch applications
#if EMULATION_LEVEL != EMULATION_NONE
	return;
#endif

#ifdef DEBUG
        CheckDBLeaks(GetDatabasePtr());
#endif
	// Create the param block (system is responsible for disposal)
	if (inRecordNum != dmMaxRecordIndex)
	{
		gotoParamsP = (GoToParamsType*)MemPtrNew(sizeof(GoToParamsType));
		if (gotoParamsP)
		{			
			// Fill it in
			MemPtrSetOwner(gotoParamsP, 0);
			gotoParamsP->recordNum		= inRecordNum;			
			gotoParamsP->matchPos		= 0;					// put cursor at start of string
			gotoParamsP->matchFieldNum	= 0;					// same for Datebook and ToDo
			gotoParamsP->searchStrLen	= 0;					// length of match (for Datebook, 
ignored by ToDo)
			gotoParamsP->matchCustom	= 0;					// length of match (for ToDo, 
ignored by Datebook)

		//	err = GetCardNo(gotoParamsP->dbCardNo);

			err = DmOpenDatabaseInfo(GetDatabasePtr(), &gotoParamsP->dbID, NULL, 
NULL, &gotoParamsP->dbCardNo, NULL);
			launchCmd = sysAppLaunchCmdGoTo;
			launchParamsP = gotoParamsP;
			if (err)
				ErrNonFatalDisplayIf(!dbID, "Could not find DateBook Database");
		}
		else
		{
			ErrFatalDisplay("Not enough memory to go to requested record");
		}
	}
	
	{	// now we launch, newer Palms have new Datebook application
		DmSearchStateType	searchState;
		UInt16				cardNo;
		LocalID				dbID;

		err = DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator(true, &searchState, 
sysFileTApplication, 'PDat', true, &cardNo, &dbID);
		if (err)
			err = DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator(true, &searchState, 
sysFileTApplication, sysFileCDatebook, true, &cardNo, &dbID);
		
		ErrNonFatalDisplayIf(err, "Could not find DateBook");
		if (dbID)
		{
			err = SysUIAppSwitch(cardNo, dbID, launchCmd, (MemPtr)launchParamsP);
			ErrNonFatalDisplayIf(err, "Could not launch app");
		}
//		AppLaunchWithCommand('PDat', launchCmd, launchParamsP);
	}
	
//	AppLaunchWithCommand(sysFileCDatebook, launchCmd, launchParamsP);
}
