I want to let the user select the (scientific) calculator he prefers to call from within my program. I thus want to offer a popup trigger exactly like those in the built-in Prefs program where you select the program to assing to hardware buttons.
Using SysCreateDataBaseList, I can create a list of all 'appl' DBs on the device. How should I store the user selection? The creator ID or the name? I understand that if I store the name, I can later call DmFindDatabase to find the LocalID and launch it, but what if there were more than one Db with that name? Would storing the LocalID better? Or would it change if there were a hard reset on the device? How does PalmOS store the apps button assignments in its prefs program? -- Luc Le Blanc -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
