Todd, In PocketStudio you set the AutoShift property to checked. That should do it! The indicator works automagically!

Screen Saver!
Ok, I am making a simple marquee program for the palm pilot.
Everything works Perfectly except for when I want to exit. The effect I want is when
the user presses the stlus against the screen, the app should exit and enter the app
launch program. Instead it gives me a memory error. Here is my code.
int num=0;
Int16 penX, penY;
BooleanpenDown;
while(penDown==false){
num=num+1;
if(num10)
{
scrollx=scrollx-1;
num=0;
}
WinDrawChars(Brandon Rules!,14,scrollx,70);
if (scrollx-100)
{
WinEraseWindow();
scrollx=177;
}
}
EvtGetPen( penX, penY, penDown);
if(penDown==true)
SysAppLauncherDialog();
I know the main reason is probably because I have it in a While loop. Can anyone help
me? Thanks!

Memory allocation?
How many chunks of 64k (or a little less) can I allocate at once on the Palm? Not using the database allocations, just regular mem allocation. Thank you James -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
Palm Speed?
Is there a way to speed up the Palm? Programming wise not using like afterburn or something of that sort? Can you speed up the timer or display more stuff to the screen?

Re: Using Clié SDK with GCC
I answer to my own message, as the problem is now solved, thanks to John Marshall ! As John suggested it, the solution is to modify the files SonyHRLib.h, SonyMsaLib.h, and SonyRmcLib.h to use #define instead of enum. The other errors are related to macros splitted in several lines using the continuation character '\'. It is even simpler to solve than the enum/#define replacement : just make the macros fit in one line, even if it is a big one. Doing this, I was able to use the Clié SDK 3 with Palm SDK 4.0 and PrcTools without any problem. I'm not sure all is working fine, but I had no problem using the High Resolution API, so I guess it should be ok for other Sony specific things. I have sent the changes to Sony Clié dev guys. -- Daniel Morais -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/

SysAppLauncherDialog() has been an obsolete function since Palm OS 3.0.
You need to just exit the while loop and then exit your program, and
you'll return to whatever launched you.

Re: Terminated text in Clipboard - FldPaste hangs?
In article 63624@palm-dev-forum, Ken Krugler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This seems like a bug in the OS to me. No, it's a bug in your code. The point is that it took some serious digging to figure out what was going on, and the answer turns out to be that the OS can't handle a null in clipbord text. I agree that it was a little stupid of me to add it in the first place, but how should I know it would cause such havoc? Nowhere in the docs or the KB (that I could find) is there any warning about it. It's vaguely implied in the description of ClipboardGetItem (because the returned text doesn't include null), but that's the only mention I saw. Did I miss something obvious? It wouldn't be the first time. You're right, a warning in the documentation for ClipboardAddItem would be useful. I've forwarded this to the tech writer. ..or at least a regrettable lack of robustness in FldPaste :-) Possibly, but the question of how much checking can and should be done is a grey area. Agreed, and I don't expect the OS to save me from myself at all times, But jeez, if a null in the clipboard can crash the system outside my own app, then it should at least be documented. Better, perhaps ClipboardAddItem should check for and strip null terminators in text items so that it's simply never a problem. Stripping null terminators seems to start one down the slippery path of guessing what the programmer meant to do, and then correcting errors. But a check for a terminating null wouldn't be hard to add for the debug ROMs. I'll put that on my list. -- Ken Ken Krugler TransPac Software, Inc. http://www.transpac.com +1 530-470-9200 -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/

Quite likely, Joe's assessment that you are not allocating space for the strings before copying into them, so you are copying Demo string and string into random (and probably protected) memory spaces. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/

Mail Application on PalmOS
