I have looked at all the documents on the Palm website for complete code examples for the How To Do This level. I have found nothing really comnplete. Most documents are API references and Simple "this is what this control does functionally". I have not been able to find any Cookbooks or Complete Code examples even in some of the books. I own Palm OS Programming 2nd Edition by O'Reilly and have access to the Palm Programming Bible through my at work online training (24 X 7 Books). Both are good, I am still wading my way through it but I can't understand why it is so hard to just find examples that show if you want to use this control (pushbutton) for example here is a simple example of how to Set it, Read It, and than do some action based upon it. I have programmed in VB, C, HTML, PHP, Javascript, etc. and have always been able to find hundreds of cookbook or examples to grasp the concepts and move on. This does not appear to be true for the Palm. Why?
What's wrong with the API reference?
Did you read it? It has all the functions and what they do. There are 20 functions that modify controls (pushbuttons). You probably don't even need to read the function definitions to know which ones set a control and read it.
It also has a full listing of events and describes when you get each one. There are 4 events for controls and this doc will tell you which one you get when a user taps a pushbutton.
