Re: Immediate Help needed.
maybe you can write such function by yourself. this is from treo600 reference guide: phnEvtStartIncomingCall Start of incoming call. This notification is sent when an incoming call if first detected. This notification is used to perform special pre-call processing like turning off of MMS playback before a call. Any processing on this notification must be very quick (less than a few hundred milliseconds) as it could potentially delay an incoming call from being answered. WARNING! APPLICATIONS MUST NOT ANSWER THE CALL OR DO ANY CALL CONTROL BASED ON THIS NOTIFICATION. A separate phnEvtConnectInd notification will be follow for this purpose. The phnEvtConnectInd notification is normally processed by the Phone App, and uses exclusive broadcast. Thus it may not be received by all applications. The phnEvtStartIncomingCall notification is sent to all applications registered for Voice Service using Universal Broadcast.

Converting UTC time into local time in pre-OS 4.0
I'm implementing GPS support in my program (location tracking). As a side benefit, I would like to offer to set the device time with the UTC time received from the GPS. Now, in order to adjust UTC time to local time, I need to call TimUTCToTimeZone, which in turn requires the number of minutes east of UTC (or a negative amount if West of UTC), which I can get with PrefGetPreference and prefMinutesWestOfGMT... a UInt32 (unsigned) amount! The prefTimeZone pref (an Int16) was later introduced with OS 4.0 and preferences version 9. What's the trick for PalmOS 3.0-3.5? Similar problems, if not worse, occur with the DaylightSavingTime - can it be determined prior to OS 4.0, or must I ask the user if he's under DST? The prefDaylightsavings preference available under OS 3.0-35 returns an enum to a list of countries, but that doesn't tell me whether DTS is currently on. No Glue API seems to do the trick.

Then, write a conduit to read the CSV file from the PC and write it out to the Palm OS device, using the API's that PalmSource provide. If you potentially have tens of thousands of records, then you will have to create an extra software layer in both the conduit and within the Palm OS program(s) to pack and unpack multiple actual records in each Palm OS 'database' record.

Re: Transfer data onto a web server
Hello Kieran, This depends on how you'd like to transfer the data. If you need wireless connectivity, then you'd be looking at using the Palm OS Net library and sending raw TCP/UDP packets of your data, and having some process ready to receive this data on your web server. Another route you could take is to have the data transferred during a HotSync. When going the HotSync route, you can take your pick of MySQL connectors, such as ODBC, Java, .NET, MySQL++ (direct C++ API), etc. Going the wireless route would likely make this process more difficult. On the other hand, it might be more convenient for your clients. If you go with the HotSync route, your best bet would be to pick the technology which you are most familiar with, and/or go with the option supported best by the tools you currently have. Adrien.

Leo, Have you ever written a hardware layer for an embedded microprocessor system? If so, then you probably had access to the specifications, including schematics and sample drivers.

If you are satisfied that you understand the hardware, then are you asking how to load, execute and test your new OS? If you presume to understand how to write the OS for a platform, then I would assume you'd know how to load and test it. What is it you want to know? What are your limitations? Be specific, please.

SysAppLaunch is intended to be used to call a program for a specific function, such as calling the address book to search for entries. It doesn't actually switch to the other program, and the other program isn't launched with access to other code segments or global variables. You want to use SysUIAppSwitch -- you might just need to add UI to the other programs to SysUIAppSwitch back to the control panel. Hiding the six applications is easy. Make their type something other than 'appl'. You can still switch to them using SysUIAppSwitch, but they won't be seen as applications by the launcher. They also won't get some system notifications, like the device just reset notification, but if you're master control panel app handles those, that sounds like the best solution. -- Ben Combee, Senior Software Engineer, palmOne, Inc.

Re: App launch and SysAppLaunch() function.
From: Fred Zheng [EMAIL PROTECTED] Q2. SysUIAppSwitch() works well. But sometimes I need to have the control return to the calling application when finished. So I tries SysAppLaunch(). This is not that pleasant. it always collapses. You are better to stick with SysUIAppSwitch() and return to the calling app by sending a signal of some sort when you launch it. The calling app would identify that it has to return control and would use SysUIAppSwitch() when it's finished. There are a variety of ways to send the signal - you could set a feature or set a value in a shared preference block - but what worked well for me in a similar situation was to define custom launch codes. You then use one of these instead of sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch when calling SysUIAppSwitch(). Your app uses the same logic as for a normal launch, but takes note of anything special it should do when it's finished (one launch code might be appLaunchReturnToApp1, for instance). Alternatively you can use one custom launch code and pass a command block to the app with the special info in it. The programmer's companion has several sections that discuss this and SysUIAppSwitch() also includes some notes.

Should I use StrChr or StrStr ?
Since you need to break on a string that is longer than a single character,
it makes sense to use StrStr().
I have tried to write my own, I'm having trouble as these are pointers
not values.
Pointers can be tricky. It just takes practice. (By the way, pointers
*are* values...)
If you'd like, strings in C can be treated as arrays of characters,
and you can just use array notation instead. For example:
Char *mystr = (Char *) MemPtrNew (5);
mystr[0] = 'P';
mystr[1] = 'a';
mystr[2] = 'l';
mystr[3] = 'm';
mystr[4] = 0;
That code will set mystr to Palm (at least assuming MemPtrNew()
doesn't return NULL).
You can even take it so far as to convert the pointer that StrStr()
returns into an index into the array:
const Char *needle = Paul;
const Char *haystack = John Paul George Ringo;
const Char *foundptr;
Int32 paulindex;
foundptr = StrStr (haystack, needle);
if (foundptr == NULL)
{
paulindex = -1; // we'll let -1 indicate not found
}
else
{
paulindex = foundptr - haystack;
}
After this code is run, paulindex should have the value 5.
That's because foundptr will point at P, which is 5 slots
further into the string than the beginning, which is what
haystack points to.
Well anyway, that was a giant sidetrack.
The point is, there are going to be three important positions
within that original string. There's (a) the start of the
string, and (b) the start of the delimiter ( | in your case),
and (c) the start of the stuff after the delimiter.
So, what do we know about those positions? Well, we know
that the start of the stuff after the delimiter equals the
start of the delimiter itself plus the length of the delimiter.
And we also know that StrStr() will give us the start position
of the delimiter.
And, we *also* know the length of the first string is equal
to its start position subtracted from the position of the
thing that immediately follows it (the delimiter). We know
this through sort of the inverse of the reasoning that appears
two paragraphs back.
So, let's say we want to just find the start positions of
everything and not worry about splitting. That's not so
hard given what we already established that we know:
void FindPositions (Char *origstr)
{
const Char *delimiter = | ;
Int32 delimiterlen = StrLen (delimiter);
Char *firststart;
Char *delimiterstart;
Char *secondstart;
// the first string starts at the beginning
firststart = origstr;
// StrStr() will just tell us where the delimiter starts
delimiterstart = StrStr (origstr, delimiter);
if (delimiterstart == NULL) { return; }
// the second strings starts right after the delimiter
secondstart = delimiterstart + StrLen (delimiter);
}
OK, that wasn't too hard. But still, how do you split them?
Well, one way to do it is to modify origstr. (This assumes
origstr is writable memory!) You can just replace the first
character of the delimiter with a 0; that will cause everything
before it to be valid C string, because C strings are just
neverending sequences of characters except that they end if
one of the characters is a zero. You might worry about
overwriting something important, but since the 0 character is
just one byte, and since the delimiter has to be AT LEAST one
byte (how could it be shorter?) that's OK, as long as you
are OK with clobbering the delimiter.
But what about the second string? Well, it already has a NULL
terminator at the end of it, so it's *already* a valid string.
So all you need to do is make sure you have a pointer to the
beginning of it, and you can use it as a string.
So, you can find the first string and advance to the second
with a function like this (note that it's virtually identical
to the above function, except I've added a few lines.
Char *BreakUpString (Char *origstr)
{
const Char *delimiter = | ;
Int32 delimiterlen = StrLen (delimiter);
Char *firststart;
Char *delimiterstart;
Char *secondstart;
// the first string starts at the beginning
firststart = origstr;
// StrStr() will just tell us where the delimiter starts
delimiterstart = StrStr (origstr, delimiter);
if (delimiterstart == NULL)
{
// we have to return something to signal an error
return NULL;
}
// the second strings starts right after the delimiter

Is it okay for an event handler to overwrite event-eType?
Hi all,
I'm handling the 5-way key events but I want to deal with them
differently in different forms. I've been doing this by intercepting
the events early and generating my own, custom events:
do {
EvtGetEvent(event, evtWaitForever);
if (!appHandleKeyEvent (event)) // --- CAPTURE EVENTS EARLY
if (!SysHandleEvent (event))
// ...
FrmDispatchEvent (event);
} while (event.eType != appStopEvent);
and then...
static Boolean appHandleKeyEvent (EventPtr pInEvent)
{ EventType outEvent;
if ((pInEvent-eType==keyDownEvent)
(pInEvent-data.keyDown.modifiers==commandKeyMask)) {
switch(pInEvent-data.keyDown.chr) {
case btnHardUp:
outEvent.eType= myUpButtonEvent;
EvtAddEventToQueue (outEvent);
break;
// ...
}
But this is slow. I was wondering whether it was okay if, instead, I
could have appHandleKeyEvent overwrite the info in the event:
static Boolean appHandleKeyEvent (EventPtr pInEvent)
{ EventType outEvent;
if ((pInEvent-eType==keyDownEvent)
(pInEvent-data.keyDown.modifiers==commandKeyMask)) {
switch(pInEvent-data.keyDown.chr) {
case btnHardUp:
pInEvent-eType= myUpButtonEvent; // ---
HERE is the change
break;
// ...
}
Is it acceptable to replace the event in mid-stream or do I still have
to create a new event? Is there a faster way to do this?
Thanks!

need help with putting database name into list
hi everyone!
i am using POL and CW. i found this in the POL help file under CListCtrl
///
CListCtrl lstTest(MainTestList);
static CArrayconst char* arrChoices;
arrChoices.SetCount(3);
arrChoices[0] = Item 1;
arrChoices[1] = Item 2;
arrChoices[2] = Item 3;
lstTest.SetListChoices(arrChoices);
but when i tried to do this
///
Boolean CIconSetForm::OnOpen(EventPtr pEvent, Boolean bHandled)
{
m_lstIconSet.Attach(this,lstIconSet);
m_trgIconSet.Attach(this,trgIconSet);
m_lblIconSet.Attach(this,lblIconSet);
CArray const char * arrChoices;
UInt32 type = 'Rsrc';
UInt32 creator = 'Actn';
DmSearchStateType searchState;
UInt16 cardNo;
LocalID dbID;
char dbName[40];
if
(DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator(true,searchState,type,creator,false,cardNo,dbID)
== 0)
{
do
{
DmDatabaseInfo(cardNo,dbID,dbName,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL
,NULL);
arrChoices.Add(dbName);
}
while
(DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator(false,searchState,type,creator,false,cardNo,dbID)
== 0);
}
m_lstIconSet.SetListChoices(arrChoices);
UInt16 numberOfItems = arrChoices.GetCount();
m_lstIconSet.SetHeight(numberOfItems 8 ? 8 : numberOfItems);
bHandled = false;
return false;
}
///
the result in the list goes haywire with wierd characters. i know that i am
getting the correct database name. just that it doesn't display properly in the
list. any idea how to fix this? any method from standard palm api?

Re: How to detect more than 1 key pressed at the same time
KeyCurrentState Regards Henk PS: Check the sample sources from PalmSource. There is a small game called reptoids? which shows you how to do this and other stuff.

I'm not able to detect both keys together. How should I act?

Re: Toooooooooo much information - StrChr or StrStr or Glue + TxtFindString

My string contains a phone number a name eg. me | +61 (0) 408 409 409
I want to have two string variables that contain me +61 (0) 408 409 409
Should I use StrChr or StrStr ?
I have tried to write my own, I'm having trouble as these are pointers
not values.
An example piece of code that I can study would be ideal :)
Let's say strTemp is the pointer to your original string. We will make a
copy of this string, find the | and alter the string to get two
pointers to the start of the first substring (strSub1) and the second
substring (strSub2).
Char *strSub1, *strSub2;
strSub1 = MemPtrNew(StrLen(strTemp) + 1);
if (strSub1)
{
StrCopy(strSub1, strTemp);
strSub2 = StrChr(strSub1, '|');
if (strSub2)
{
strSub2[0] = 0;
strSub2++;
// strSub1 has now the first substring, strSub2 the second, use it
// here
}
MemPtrFree(strSub1);
}
Regards
Henk

Re: Is it okay for an event handler to overwrite event-eType?
Wade Guthrie wrote: Is it acceptable to replace the event in mid-stream or do I still have to create a new event? Is there a faster way to do this? You can do this. But take care not to interfer with the system owned events. If you would change the type to one of the system events, the underlying info in the event union will not match.
