This is a snipet of code I wrote that launched an app for a file based on
the extention. s is a string with the extention.
error = ExgGetDefaultApplication(&creatorID, exgRegExtensionID, s);
if (error == errNone) {
MemSet(&dmSearch, sizeof(DmSearchStateType), 0);
error = DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator(true, &dmSearch, 'appl',
creatorID, true, &cardNo, &dbID);
if (error == errNone) {
SysUIAppSwitch(cardNo, dbID,
sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch, NULL);
// does this return? if so a appCloseEvent is next
}
}
not sure if it returns, no code after that anyway for me :)
SysUIAppSwitch is really straight forward. See the entry in the Palm OS API
