Subject: (newbie) equivalent of dll for Palm? From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2004 10:08:58 -0700 (PDT) X-Message-Number: 20
Hi I am trying to figure out how to build a dll kind of thing for Palm. We want to do out own I18N instead of using overlay, so our goal is to build an executible .prc and several language specific prc that just contains those strings (which we store in a header file). Is this something that sounds doable for Palm?
Are there such thing as dynamic library in Palm?
Yes, but that is the wrong technique for what you are trying to do.
Just put the strings (and bitmaps?) into resource databases, probably with a PDB instead of PRC file extension on the PC. That's easy with CodeWarrior!
Then explicitly open the correct resource database when starting your program.
Provided you use the same resources numbers and have one resource database open, Palm OS will then take care of finding the resources for you.
