Hy,
I currently use an alarm to trigger my application and my code looks like this:
switch (cmd)
{
case sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch:
err=StartApplication();
if (err)
return err;
FrmGotoForm(MainForm);
AppEventLoop();
AppStop();
break;
case sysAppLaunchCmdSystemReset:
case sysAppLaunchCmdSyncNotify:
RegisterForNotifications1 ();
break;
case sysAppLaunchCmdNotify:
HandleNotification ((SysNotifyParamType *) cmdPBP);
break;
case sysAppLaunchCmdDisplayAlarm:
if (!( launchFlags & sysAppLaunchFlagNewGlobals))
//=> here is the problem! I want at this point to know if my application is
running or not. If it's not running then I will launch it with a
sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch command, and if this' running then I want to set
the alarm at 5 seconds so I can let the user finish his job.
{
SysCurAppDatabase(&cardNo,&dbID);
// reallocating memory for the autoupdate! afte 10 seconds
alarmMe = (AlarmPtr) MemPtrNew (sizeof (AlarmType));
err = AlmSetAlarm(cardNo,dbID,(UInt32)alarmMe,TimGetSeconds()+10,true);
MemPtrSetOwner (alarmMe, 0);
SysUIAppSwitch (cardNo, dbID, sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch,NULL);
//-> here I wanted to set a custom launch code, but aparently nobody pointed me
to the right docs :-(
}
else
{
// if the application is running then allocate a new alarm after 5 sec
SysCurAppDatabase(&cardNo,&dbID);
alarmMe = (AlarmPtr) MemPtrNew (sizeof (AlarmType));
err = AlmSetAlarm(cardNo,dbID,(UInt32)alarmMe,TimGetSeconds()+5,true);
if (err)
ErrAlert(err);
MemPtrSetOwner(alarmMe,0);
}
return errNone;
}
Regards, Iulia
