Hello,
Is it possible to create a background process in palm os 5.
Sort of...
I need to run two applications (or two processes) simultaneously which need to communicate to each other. Any idea how it can be done?
In palm if i open a second application (say a prc file) automatically it closes the current application. Means no minimize options. why its so?
That's just the way it is. PalmOS version 5 and lower do not have
multithreading. You CAN set up a quasi-background thread using a
soundstream callback or notification/launch codes, but it takes some
work to set it up. If all you want to do is to have your apps talk to
one another then you could perhaps just have them send custom launch
codes to each other.
