MemoryProblems
Hello All,
Well am using the following code:-
Inputstring :-1~VIKAS~VIKAS
extern Err getSalPersonStructPtrFromString(const char *
p_Str_FormattedStr,SalPersonLoginInfoPtr p_SalStruct)
{
char * temp = NULL;
char ** p_Str_Array = (char **)MemHandleNew(sizeof(char*));
MemHandleLock((MemHandle)p_Str_Array);
for(int i = 0 ,j = 0, k = 0; i StrLen(p_Str_FormattedStr) ; i++)
{
if(i == 0)
{
temp = (char *)MemHandleNew(sizeof(char));
UInt32 size = MemHandleSize((MemHandle)temp);
MemHandleLock((MemHandle)temp);
}
if(p_Str_FormattedStr[i] =='~' )
{
*(temp +k) = '\0';
p_Str_Array[j] = temp;
MemHandleUnlock((MemHandle)temp);
temp = NULL;
temp = (char *)MemHandleNew(sizeof(char));
MemHandleLock((MemHandle)temp);
j++;
k=0;
}
else
*(temp+k ) = *(p_Str_FormattedStr+i); // ##

Re: MemoryProblems
To add the same code works fine in VC++ when tested with maolloc.
I am getting a Bus error here which says that I am trying to access a
location which is neither in the ROM or
RAM.
Please do lemme know about it.
My basic requirement is to get a Char**(pointer to an array of pointers)
from a char *(a full string as got from the database).
I want to make this a Utility function later in my project so that it can be
re-used.In the below example I
am currently using it for my module.
Thx in advance..
Regards,
Vikas

Re: Dynamic UI
If you don't want to roll your own, as Anton suggests, you can use a frameless button, although I believe there's no way to set buttons to be frameless without manually setting ControlType-attr-frame to noFrame. Maybe there's a glue function that does it? I think this will give you the closest facsimile of links that you can get for free. So just make a new button control, set the frame attribute to noFrame, and then show it. Check the Palm API docs to make sure you're using the right structures and stuff, I don't have my code with me to doublecheck... -dan On Wednesday, March 27, 2002, at 07:11 AM, Anton wrote: 1.Write a text with WinDrawChars 2.

fldInsert Problem...
Hello all...
I was wondering how exactly i might be able to insert an item from my
database into a field.
This is my DB and i want to insert Type into a field to display it
typedef enum Weekday{Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat} Weekday;
typedef enum ModuleType{Lecture, Tutorial, Lab} ModuleType;
typedef struct ErrandDB {
Weekday day;/* 0 through 6 for Sun through Sat */
Char errands[257]; /* Free form text field, 256 characters
allowed */
ModuleType Type;
} ErrandDB;
typedef ErrandDB* ErrandDBPtr;
I'm using:
FldInsert(fldP, recP-Type, StrLen(recP-Type));
This is flagging errors, it works fine for errands. i know it has something
to do with the way Type is declared but i can't figure it out...do i use
fldInsert???
Thanks for your time

Re: TABLE QUERY
I know what you mean, pal. I've been with this problem last month, and solved it using the CustomTableItem style. That's the only way to put your label with no :, and left aligned. After assign the CustomTableItem style, you must assign the procedure that will draw the label content. If you want, you could draw bmps in the cell, if it's your desire. But it's another stuff...

if you load the text with sth like: TblSetLoadDataProcedure (table, 1, (TableLoadDataFuncPtr) ListFormGetRecordField); ... you can set the attributes of the textfield in the 'ListFormGetRecordField-Function' as seen below.

As a number of people here can attest :-), I take this issue very seriously. I have never and will never intentionally make or allow changes in prc-tools that gratuitously break old source code or build scripts. Non-gratuitous breakage might occur, but only after exhausting other possibilities, and only with documentation and a gradual changeover and/or provision of a simple constant-time effort workaround [1]. Other breakage is likely a bug and reports of such bugs are appreciated. I may stay with SDK 3.5 but not sure yet. Changing SDK may lead to some incompatibility with old source code, but nothing like the problems in the pre-3.5 days. Of course, with prc-tools it is very simple to install several Palm OS SDKs simultaneously and select which one to use on a project-by-project basis. Hence your old code could easily stay with the 3.5 SDK as long as you wanted, without affecting your use of earlier or more recent SDKs in other projects on the same machine. I also remember that I had to fuss with the directory structure of prc-tools, in the original release. That was two years ago. The Windows installation story is much better now, and will improve greatly again in the near future. Is there a good description for setting all this up, as if I was doing it for the first time? Where? Where have you looked? Have you tried searching for prc-tools on Google and clicking on any of links on the first page of results, particularly any of the top five? Do you have any suggestions as to how this could be made easier to find? John [1] By constant-time I mean it takes a fixed amount of effort to implement a workaround on your development host. Not an amount of effort proportional to the number of projects you have, and certainly not an amount proportional to the number of lines of code you have. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
Re: Multi-Segment Apps - Question
A follow-up: I installed the new cygwin setup from the internet. This was for a Windows system. The last step crashed where it says creat icon and add to start menu. Is that critical? Happens when I install prc-tools as well. Also, in the older version that I used to use (b20 and original prc- tools20), I had to modify some files in the compiler/linker (I think; memory is a bit fuzzy) that change something to allow larger than 32K code segment. I also had to change the link order somewhere (don't remember). This put crt0 file in a different order. Are these changes still necessary for multi-segment applications? Or is multi-segment applications even necessary anymore to bypass the 32K code limit. Then I had to add a lot of SEGMENT difinitiions to a def file, yadda, yadda, yadda... anyway Is this SEGMENT definition still the way to do multi-segment applications using the prc-tools? Anyway, my original problem was that I had an application that was larger than 32k and I had to go through all of these changes to allow the app to compile and link. I'm left with source that has all these SEGMENT definitions in it. I realize that I got an answer to not use b20, make sure I use make and that the sources complile fine. But I know they compile. My problem is with linking the multiple segments in my old source. Is multi-segmented applications still necessary to bypass the 32K limit? Are the SEGMENT definitions still required?

The compiler is telling you that it expects the second argument to
FldInsert to be 'const char *' and you passed in something that is type
'ModuleType', which is an enum. The compiler can't convert an enum
into a string -- you have to do that yourself.
So, if you want to insert the word Lecture, Tutorial, or Lab then
you have to look at the ModuleType and use it to determine which word
to insert.
You could use something like:
Char * names[3] = {Lecture, Tutorial, Lab};
// ...
FldInsert(fldP, names[recP-Type], StrLen(names[recP-Type]));

Palm IP address
A) Does the Palm Device have its own IP address or group address and where can I find information about it? B) Can the connection to the Palm device via TCP-IP be activated from the IBM-PC computer and how can I implement such procedure. Any help is appreciated.

With Win2k/NT/XP you can use the RAS server to host a PPP connection. There is a very good setup tutorial for Win2k at: http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~echobase/network/win2k/images.html The big things with Win2k to remember: -You need to send some special strings from the Palm PPP client side in order to get RAS to answer. This is discussed in the above doc. -Win2k RAS server configuration has some bugs in its refreshing. If you change around your COM port configuration through the Device Hardware manager you need to reboot before these COM ports show up in the configuation step. Also, for Linux, David's doc is great: http://www.pilot-link.org/howto/ppp/index.html. Assuming you have everything you need in your kernel, setting this up in Linux is a one line command. Misc Useful Info: -There is a device made by KeySpan that will convert a USB port to a regular 9 pin serial port. It works under both Windows and Linux. -You can use Shortcut..3 to disable auto-power offs for your device (or just use the Stay on in cradle option). -You can force the serial port to stay open (sometimes I've had to do this) by going into the HotSync app (on the Palm), holding the up hardware button, and tapping in the upper right corner of the screen. -Getting RAS is probably a better solution than Mocha since you have a real IP address on your network. Gotchas: -Remember that the HotSyncManager on Windows keeps the serial port open so you can't have the HotSyncManager and RAS server running on the same port (see my config below) -I don't believe Win2k will do a PPP RAS over USB. I tried setting up RAS to use the Keyspan USB-Serial convert to set up a connection for my Vx, zero luck. My Windows setup: COM1 - APC UPS (absolute must for us silicon valley people) COM2 - RAS for my Palm PPP connection COM3 - KeySpan USB-Serial - Hotsync Manager Also, you might want to take a look at a little utility we wrote called tcptty.

The compiler is telling you that it expects the second argument to
FldInsert to be 'const char *' and you passed in something that is type
'ModuleType', which is an enum. The compiler can't convert an enum
into a string -- you have to do that yourself.
So, if you want to insert the word Lecture, Tutorial, or Lab then
you have to look at the ModuleType and use it to determine which word
to insert.
You could use something like:
Char * names[3] = {Lecture, Tutorial, Lab};
// ...
FldInsert(fldP, names[recP-Type], StrLen(names[recP-Type]));

Re: Multi-Segment Apps - Question
Thanks for the answeres to questions above that have been snipped. Is there a good description for setting all this up, as if I was doing it for the first time? Where? Where have you looked? Have you tried searching for prc-tools on Google and clicking on any of links on the first page of results, particularly any of the top five? I went to the palmos dev page and followed links to prc-tools. I followed those instructions to the point where I got an illegal operation in the final step. That made me wonder about that process. Do you have any suggestions as to how this could be made easier to find? I don't find the tools hard to find. I also don't find the setup hard to follow. However, what is lacking are the instructions that are the point of my question. That is, in previous versions, I had to do a lot of modifications to make apps larger than 32K. And this also required SEGMENT definitions in my source. Also, with a few of the early releases of SDK, I had to restructure the folder structure for some reason. And my header files had to change from time to time. So, I'm not sure how compatible my current source is with newer tools. They may work just fine but before I start down that upgrade path, I'm trying to see what problems I might encounter. My primary concerns are with the 32K problem of old and my SEGMENT definitions in my current source. Also, I use an IDE that does not require me to use make files directly. It would be nice if there was a straight forward test program that could simply be executed, from the command-line (DOS shell), to test the setup. Mike John [1] By constant-time I mean it takes a fixed amount of effort to implement a workaround on your development host. Not an amount of effort proportional to the number of projects you have, and certainly not an amount proportional to the number of lines of code you have. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

PRC-Tools distribution (was: pilrc -ro usage)
You're right, I do want a working installation... but I don't understand why a .zip file distribution wouldn't give me that. So that brings up an interesting general topic, maybe I just don't understand how PRC-Tools install works. I'm new to Palm's development tools, so forgive me if I could have RTFM somewhere... Once I get cygwin and PRC-Tools installed, I've got the PRC-Tools binaries on my system. Is there some reason I can't just zip up those tools (if I knew exactly which files they were!) and redistribute them to my team? Do the tools depend on something in cygwin (like, I suppose, cygwin dll's) so I'd have to redistribute those dependant libraries as well? Do they depend on some registry settings that wouldn't get created if I just distributed a .zip file (I'd hope not)? What I really want, is a simple tools distribution that I can pass around to my development team; so we know we're all building product using the same bits. Today, we all have to download cygwin on each PC, then install PRC-Tools using setup.exe's script, then pray setup.exe got it right, we all checked the same boxes, and we all have the same thing on everybody's system (and that Joe developer doesn't get antsy and update to the latest beta release of PRC-Tools ahead of the rest of the team). I'd just feel better if I knew we all had the same thing. Building from a released .zip file would give me that peace of mind. Thanks in advance for helping me understand all this.

I had to go back and read your original post to figure out what you're
asking... You want to 'insert Type into a field to display it'.
1. Open your database.
2. Use DmQueryRecord (or similar method) to get a handle to a record.
3. Lock the handle to get a pointer to the record and typecast that
pointer to ModuleType.
3. Then you have 3 pieces of data:
yourPointer-day - a number, 0 thru 6
yourPointer-errands - a string
yourPointer-Type - an enum (stored as some kind of integer)
4. Display the above three in one or more fields on a form
a) convert the data to a string (here you may use the method I
previously gave)
b) call a function to put that string in a field
Here are two functions that will help with the general case of putting
a string in a field:
// Set text in a field, given a fieldID and a handle to the text
static FieldPtr SetFieldTextFromHandle( UInt16 fieldID, MemHandle txtH
)
{
MemHandle oldTxtH;
FieldPtr fldP;
FormPtr frmP = FrmGetActiveForm();
// get the field and a handle to its text
fldP = FrmGetObjectPtr( frmP, FrmGetObjectIndex( frmP, fieldID ) );
ErrNonFatalDisplayIf( !fldP, missing field );
oldTxtH = FldGetTextHandle( fldP );
// set field to new text
FldSetTextHandle( fldP, txtH );
FldDrawField( fldP );
// free old MemHandle
if ( oldTxtH ) MemHandleFree( oldTxtH );
return fldP;
}
// Sets text in a field, given a fieldID and a pointer to a string
static FieldPtr SetFieldTextFromStr( UInt16 fieldID, Char *strP )
{
MemHandle txtH;
txtH = MemHandleNew( StrLen( strP ) + 1 );
if ( !txtH )
return NULL;
StrCopy( MemHandleLock( txtH ), strP );
MemHandleUnlock( txtH );
return SetFieldTextFromHandle( fieldID, txtH );
}

Well, this does NOT mean that this won't be supported in the future. I was planning to answer the same thing but after carefully thinking I refrained from doing that. This kind of advice will push people to assume that this will NEVER be supported. Then they will create applications with this restriction coded in it and their applications will break in the future. Or this will oblige us to do all sorts of bad things to keep their application working. What I mean is that, if Palm OFFICIAL documentation does not state something, you should not assume it.

RE: Font Resource Format
OK, So someone at PalmSource is looking at it right now :-) There are some problems in the way the fonts are generated. I am currently working on a fix which I will send you Aaron but I wanted to take some time to explain what the problems are. A font may not contains all the characters or not even contiguous characters. For example it may contain characters 48 to 57 (digits) and 32 (space). Now if your font is the currently selected one and you try to draw or manipulate (CharsWidth, ...) non existent characters, PalmOS is using the missing char. The missing char is an additional character added at the end of the font which is not really part of it. It does not even has a number. It is appended at the end of the bitmap and the 2 arrays (of widths and columns) contains info for it at the end. If your font does not provide this missing char you'd better not use any character not in it. PilRC already allows to put this missing char: you have to use GLYPH -1 at the end of the resource definition file. However there are some problems in the generation of such a font. Plus there are a couple of missing checks (like GLYPH -1 must be the last one in the font definition file - given the way PilRC compiles the font). There are no provisions when it is not provided (like creating a 0-width one). I will fix that and also update PRCExplorer to explicitly display the missing char. Note that the bitmap displayed at the top of the font viewer shows the missing char glyph when it is needed (because the char is not defined). OF COURSE THIS IS NOT PALMSOURCE OFFICIAL INFORMATION. I am providing it to help tools developers to create tools which are fully operable with PalmOS. Cordially, Regis.

prc-tools (Testing?)
I posted a response to John's question about what is needed, if anything. Let me give an example of part of a problem I am having. This is not directly related to my questions in another thread. I have tried installing the latest CGYWIN and PRC-TOOLS. Actually, I have installed them. Everything went fine. Then, I copied my SDK3.5 to the PalmDev folder (on a Win98 system). My directory structure is: c:\cygwin (for the cygwin installation c:\PalmDev (for the prc-tools installation c:\PalmDev\SDK3.5 (for the SDK) Now, I also use the PilotMag IDE (that I have used for a couple of years). BTW, I have updated it to the version that is known to work well with prc- tools20 and has been tested on Win98. This IDE does not use make files. It just executes the commands for each step. If a prc-tools installation works for a make file then it should work from the IDE. Anyway, I tried to compile my old application (set up for old prc-tools, etc). It generated the resources just fine; it compiled the resources just fine; it even compiled all the 'c' sources just fine. Then it got to the build part. At that point, I got an error saying that the SDK3.5 cannot be found at /PalmDev. So, I'm at a bit of a loss as to what the problem might be. Of course it should know where the SDK is because it was able to compile. At least prc- tools knows where the SDK is since it compiled. The fact that it references the /PalmDev makes me think that somehow this problem has to do with the cygwin installation and/or the mount command. I did execute: mount -tf c:\PalmDev /PalmDev and I did put cygwin\bin in my path and I know that works since I can issue the basic ls, cat, etc from any folder and they execute; so the path is known. I'm not clear on the function of the mount in the installation process or what goes on after compile that requires cgywin and the mounting of the PalmDev location. I have never tested this installation, from the command line. That would require making a makefile for my application; something that I don't look forward to. Is there an easy to test such an installation, with something that is included in the installation process? It would be of use to have a test program or some test program in the PalmDev folder that one could simply execute that would test the installations to make sure everything works without having to go through the process of generating a makefile. Is that possible? Back to my problem: What might be the cause of the IDE not being able to build the application, based on the error of not being able to find the SDK in the PalmDev? I have asked the author of PilotMag and he believes the problem is with something I missed in the prc-tools/cygwin installation. Any ideas?

RE: Fixing 16-bit reference out of range errors
multiple segments just to avoid this headache. If you have one monolithic .c file, then changing the link order is a much bigger job, as CodeWarrior doesn't support specifying the link order within a compilation unit. Just wanted to correct this -- this isn't quite true. The #pragma segment call will allow you to put parts of a source file in a different segment, so you could (theoretically) have one big source file with multiple segments. You still have to keep an entire function within one segment, but you can break up the file. -hkmlt -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
Re: Dynamic UI
You have to define an underlined font. Why there isn't one included with the OS, I'll never know. Look up something like Pilot Font Editor, which will allow you to load a font resource, edit the characters, and save it, and then you can use FntDefineFont to load it. There's also a PRC floating around somewhere that will download all the OS font resources from a device to your hard drive, so you can edit them. Alternatively, if you really don't mind rolling your own, you can define a PilRC font, which consists of a text file with the bits for each character laboriously reproduced in supersize. Hope this helps... -d On Thu, 28 Mar 2002, Joseph Chan wrote: But how they write an underline to the link? Anton [EMAIL PROTECTED] ???:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 1.Write a text with WinDrawChars 2.

RE: Fixing 16-bit reference out of range errors
If you use the small code model for your multi-segment app, and you arrange your code into segments in a logical way, the number of slow calls from one segment to another will be low, and the performance will be good. A large single segment application that uses the smart or large code model will be slower. Sharing global variables between segments doesn't require anything special on your part. However, if you break your code up into multiple compilation units, you have to get the compiler and linker to share global variables between compilation units (.c files). Any good book on C will explain how to do this. See, for example, page 103 of C: A reference manual by Harbison and Steele. -- Peter Epstein -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

Create a file foo.c:
#include PalmOS.h
UInt32 PilotMain (UInt16 a, void *b, UInt16 c) { return 0; }
and you should get no warnings or errors of any kind when you compile it
with (add -palmos3.5 etc to taste to the first line)
m68k-palmos-gcc -o foo foo.c
build-prc -n footest -c DUMB foo

It would be of use to have a test program or some test program in the
PalmDev folder that one could simply execute that would test the
installations to make sure everything works without having to go through
the process of generating a makefile.
There are several example projects available from the prc-tools
homepage. Several of the examples in the Palm OS SDK are buildable with
prc-tools out of the box. As Chris and Aaron noted, there are lots of
other examples around. This is also a value-add opportunity for a
prc-tools-based IDE: for example, Falch.net DeveloperStudio comes with
sample projects, and I trust the IDE you're using does too.

Problem with GCC and C++ 'new' operator
Hi everyone,
I'm developing an app in C++ with PRC tools.5. I have an inheritance
hierarchy that works fine until I add a third inherited class. Then, when I
try to use 'new' with one of the derived classes, I get an 'invalid opcode'
from the emulator. It looks something like this:
class BaseClass { ... };
class Derived1 : public BaseClass { ... };
class Derived2: public BaseClass { ... };
This works fine - I can use 'new Derived1' and 'new Derived2' without any
trouble (BaseClass is abstract and cannot be instantiated on its own).
When I add the following:
class Derived3: public BaseClass { ... };
calls to 'new Derived1', 'new Derived2' and 'new Derived3' all give me an
'invalid opcode' message from the emulator. As soon as I get rid of the
third derived class, eveything works fine. As far as I can trace, the bug
seems occur in the new operator itself, because control isn't even getting
to my base-class constructor.
Has anyone come across this before? Is it a known bug? Is there a way around
it?
Thanks in advance,
Igor Siemienowicz

Red Hat's RPM, Debian's dpkg, Cygwin's setup.exe, and Windows' Install/Remove Programs are all Package Management Systems, implemented with various degrees of success. Package management is a Good Thing. A package manager helps you install, uninstall and upgrade things. It tells you what versions you've got installed and maybe tells you when there's a new one. It tells you what files belong to what package, and vice versa. It helps you find the documentation. It both slices and dices. You really don't want to go back to the bad old days of unpack .zip file into temporary directory, read readme file which is sometimes called readme.txt or sometimes readme.1st, copy parts here and parts there, find little setup.bat script that sets up registry stuff, reread readme to see how to use it, run setup.bat... then months pass, you want to uninstall it... oh no I've lost the uninst.bat script from that particular temporary directory, and I can't remember which DLLs in C:\WINDOWS belong to this one. A package management system insulates you from all those details. Do the tools depend on something in cygwin (like, I suppose, cygwin dll's) so I'd have to redistribute those dependant libraries as well? Do they depend on some registry settings that wouldn't get created if I just distributed a .zip file (I'd hope not)? Yes and yes (with good reason -- if you want to complain about your dashed hopes, feel free to do so on the Cygwin mailing list, whose denizens will be happy to flame you for posting an annoying question which comes up weekly :-)). What I really want, is a simple tools distribution that I can pass around to my development team; so we know we're all building product using the same bits. A package management system makes it *easier* to verify what version Antsy Joe has installed. Today, we all have to download cygwin on each PC, then install PRC-Tools using setup.exe's script, then pray setup.exe got it right, If you believe that a prc-tools binary I built does anything useful (for example, if you believe that it's not a Trojan horse) and you believe that the Cygwin binaries somebody else built work, then you might as well believe that setup.exe works too. (Much like, as an end user, you more or less believe that InstallShield works.) (Amusingly enough, for most of the last week setup.exe *has* been broken and hasn't installed prc-tools on Windows correctly. But it was fixed yesterday, within 24 hours of my reporting the problem. There was no prayer involved: you could see the failure pretty easily.) I'd just feel better if I knew we all had the same thing. Building from a released .zip file would give me that peace of mind. In your in-house developers situation, it's just possible that a .zip file would give you that peace of mind. (But I believe the package managed solution would too.) It'd be a crazy waste of time to try to duplicate what setup.exe does this week with the registry, but it might be worthwhile to have your own prc-tools released .zip file. In fact, if you decided to learn enough about this stuff to do this, you might find out that the prc-tools Cygwin binary package *is* a released archive file that mostly just needs to be unpacked in the right place. ;-) But doing this would throw away some functionality that setup.exe gives you. More importantly from a corporate viewpoint: if setup.exe goes wrong, you can get support from the Cygwin maintainers. If your local zipfile thingie goes wrong, it's your problem. But the public release situation is different. You're right, I do want a working installation... but I don't understand why a .zip file distribution wouldn't give me that. ^^ It's not just you. There's tens of thousands of you. You might be able to control your in-house developers' installations and force them to follow the instructions (or else you're fired, buster!), but there's no way to compel the general public to follow instructions, or even just to read them. Mike Davis is demonstrating this very well at this very moment :-). The .zip file distribution of the SDK is not giving him a working installation. A package suitable for machine unpacking might constrain his flexibility and choice a little, but it would instantly solve his frustration. (And mine! :-)) It's not even his fault. This is not sync the .prc to your device (and some people even have trouble with that!).

RE: prc-tools (Testing?)
A couple of things. 1) My b20 version of cygwin put somethings in the program files folder and something at c:\cygwin but the latest version that installs from the internet does not. So, when I specified c:\cygwin, it put everything there. 2) I'm not sure what the purpose of the *.bat file is. I don't see any reference to it in any of the instructions. In any case, mine is simply: echo off c: chdir c:\cygwin\bin bash --login -i But like I said, I don't see any mention of the batch files. Also, when I install using the setup.exe file, either from the local drive or the internet, it gives me an illegal operation error just after I click Ok on the set icon and set menu choices. It does the same when I follow the prc-tools using the same setup, as specified in the instructions.

Why are my accented string resources altered?
Hi, Stupid problem time. I'm using stringlist resources containing accented characters. These are generated from a database in the form of .r files which are then (as I understand) compiled by Rez to create resources. The problem is that the accented characters are being 'converted' in the process and are not displaying properly. DeRez does a similar transformation on the way out. While I can write a piece of code that modifies the text string on the way into the .r so that it has the correct ascii code to turn into the accented character I want under PalmOS I get the feeling that I'm missing something here (and I'd like to find a table that shows the mapping rather than determining it by trial and error). A search of eScribe referred to some high bit transformation and pointed to a switch that doesn't seem to exist on the Rez page of the CW8 options. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

PalmRez then turns the Mac character set into the Palm OS character set for some of its structures -- I don't know if it just does this for UI text or if it affects strings and string lists as well. A search of eScribe referred to some high bit transformation and pointed to a switch that doesn't seem to exist on the Rez page of the CW8 options. The switch was actually on the PalmRez page, not the Rez one... but it just had to do with the destination of the characters, not the source character set. -- Ben Combee [EMAIL PROTECTED] CodeWarrior for Palm OS technical lead -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
