Re: searching for a contact in the phonebook

[LionScribe]

Well here is the working code on a Treo (only)

#include <HsAppLaunchCmd.h>    // Part of the PalmOne SDK Headers

static Boolean callbackFunc(void* ref)
{
    return false;
}

Boolean Lookup(char * number)     // number should be a straight 11 digit 
number like 18005551212
{
    Boolean rv = false;
    SysNotifyParamType params;
    AddrCallerIDParamsType lookupParams;
    MemSet(&params, sizeof(params), 0);
    MemSet(&lookupParams, sizeof(lookupParams), 0);

    params.notifyType = addrAppNotificationCmdCallerID;
    params.notifyDetailsP = &lookupParams;


    lookupParams.lookupString = number;
    lookupParams.formatString = "^name"; // you can change this to whatever 
you want
    lookupParams.callback = callbackFunc;
    UInt32 plainVal = 0;
    lookupParams.ref = (void*)&plainVal;


    AppCallWithCommand('addr', sysAppLaunchCmdNotify, &params);
    if(lookupParams.resultString)
    {
        FrmCustomAlert(10024, "Name is ", lookupParams.resultString, ".");
        MemPtrFree(lookupParams.resultString);
        rv = true;
    }
    else
    {
        FrmCustomAlert(10024, "Name not found!", "", "");
    }
    return rv;
}

Good luck,
