Hi everybody!
I want to register for wave-files, so I can store them in a database and use them in my application. At the moment I use <b>ExgRegisterDatatype</b> which works great for wave-files sent via IR. But I also want to receive the data via HotSync. Problem is, QuickInstall refuses to take wave-files. It only wants to store them on SD-Card but not in the devices memory. Is there a possibility to inform QuickInstall/HotSync about my registration or do I need to write a conduit for that purpose?
Thanks in advance.
Registering with the exchange manager only allows you application to recieve wav files when they are 'beamed' to the palm. It does not affect the hotsync process.
Hotsync can only place wav files (or any other file) on external cards, and not in the main palm memory. Look at the VFS* function calls to access thease files.
You can store a file in a pdb using the file streaming API. (Look atthe File* functions) This does allow storeing 'files' in main memory by wrapping them up inside a pdb database. There is a utility called par that can help do this on a PC.
You could create a conduit that will syncronise wav files from a directory on your PC to the palm so you don't need the par tool.
