Initiating a phone call (dialing) programmatically on the Treo 600

[Benjamin Bloomfield]

Hi,

I need to dial a number on the Treo 600, and it doesn't seem to be working.  It 
causes a crash, and according to the system log, the application causing the 
crash was "Phone", and not my own application.

Anyway, here's the code I'm using to initiate the call:

Wait -- one more thing: everything works, if I set confirm to true, or copy the 
values for name and number from string constants.

Here's the code:

static void LaunchPhone(char* number, char* name, bool confirm)
{
        PhoneAppLaunchCmdDialType* dial;
        UInt16 len;
        dial = (PhoneAppLaunchCmdDialType *)
                MemPtrNew(sizeof(PhoneAppLaunchCmdDialType));
        dial->version = 1;
        dial->confirm = confirm;
        len = StrLen(name);
        dial->name = (char*)MemPtrNew(len+1);
        StrCopy(dial->name, name);
        len = StrLen(number);
        dial->number = (char*)MemPtrNew(len+1);
        StrCopy(dial->number, number);
        dial->failLaunchCreator = appFileCreator;
        dial->failLaunchCode = sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch;
        dial->dialMethod = PhoneAppDialMethodNormal;
        
        MemPtrSetOwner((MemPtr)dial, 0);
        MemPtrSetOwner((MemPtr)dial->name, 0);
        MemPtrSetOwner((MemPtr)dial->number, 0);
        LaunchWithCommand(sysFileTApplication, hsFileCPhone, 
phoneAppLaunchCmdDial, dial);
}

Thanks.
