Hi,
did you try calling FldHandleEvent() directly and returning true? In
PalmOS 5.0 the system keeps a "shadow" copy of most
structures used. That's why it is not supported to access them directly and
that's probably also why your change was discarded.
With best regards,
Miro Pomsar

for years. I just tried it, and it still works in the Emulator, through OS
4. But in the simulator, it no longer works. Stepping through the code, if I
enter a lowercase 'a', I see the call to upper_char changes the value in
event->data.keyDown.chr from 97 to 65, which is correct for a captial 'A'.
However, it's still a lowercase 'a' that is actually getting inserted into
the text field. This happens in the Treo 650, T3, and Sony OS 5 simulators,
and an OS 5 device.

What do I need to change to make it work in OS 5? Thanks.
