Bob,
Here is what I got at this point. Is this pretty much what I need to do
to read through all dbs on the device?
//open a Data Manager Object to search the memory system
DmSearchStateType dbPt;
UInt16 cardNoP;
LocalID dbID = 0;
Err dbErr = errNone;
//get first db
dbErr = DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator(true, &dbPt, 0, 0, false, &cardNoP,
&dbID);
//while: there are more dbs
while(!dbErr)
{
//read database, and test if its clean
//incomplete
//get next db
dbErr = DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator(false, &dbPt, 0, 0, false, &cardNoP,
&dbID);
}
