bluetooth can only be achevied by using serial comm?
hi there! i digged into some info on bluetooth. is it true that bluetooth can only be acheviced by using the serial comm? i have another question. in serial comm, only 1 side of the device is allowed to talk (if there are 2 devices being connected)? that means it is a asynchornous transfer? if i want to transfer data to and fro then i will have to connect, send, disconnect, connect, receive, disconnect? thanks for reading. -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

Re: TwoSegmentCode_Field probs
Grzegorz Szewc wrote: Do you save data in form A and reload it after return from form B? If not all data on form will be lost after calling FrmGoToForm(formB) function. Right, because FrmGotoForm() closes the current form, which deallocates the field. If form B is always reached only through form A, and if you always return directly to form A after form B, you could use FrmPopupForm() to bring up form B instead. That will leave the current form open, so that you can use FrmReturnToForm(0) to return to form. Since the form isn't closed that way, your field will not be erased. Yet another method is to use a global variable (or some other variable that is around as long as you app is running) and store the MemHandle in it. When form A opens, use FrmGetTextHandle() and FrmSetTextHandle() to replace the field's memory with your own (unlocked) handle and then free the handle that was in the field. Then use FldSetTextHandle() to make the field's handle NULL right before the form closes. That all can be done by handling frmCloseEvent and frmOpenEvent manually and doing the changes to the field handle in response to those events. - Logan -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

RE: Fail to change the readonly attribute of directory
Do you also set the directory flag when setting the attributes?
I mean to set attr on file/directory you should do:
err = VFSFileGetAttributes(fref, attr) ;
if( err!=0 )
{
err = VFSFileSetAttributes(fref, attr | vfsFileAttrReadOnly) ;
}
This way any previous attribute is preserved (hidden, system, archive).

Drawing low-density text in a Field on a high-density display
I have an application that keeps a log file, which the user can view via a Form with a scrolling Text Field in it. On a device like a Treo 650 with its double-density screen, I'd like to get the Text Field to be drawn such that it fits twice as much text in as on a single-density display. WinSetScalingMode(kTextScalingOff) seems useful here as it can tell the drawing routines to use low-density fonts on a high-density screen, resulting in smaller text. But, as I understand it I would have to call this each time the Field is about to be drawn, whilst keeping the other elemnts of the Form drawn in normal scaled mode, so that buttons, etc look right. So, does anyone have any ideas as to how to get a Text Field in a Form to draw using single-density fonts on a double density display, to pack twice as much text in ?

Palm Resource Editor pop-up control bug?
Hi all - In the Palm Resource Editor, I have found that the List ID property for the pop-up control isn't saved when entered and reverts back to 0. It seems to be fickle with what numbers you have set for the List ID and the Pop-up Control ID. For example, I set my pop-up control ID to 1861 and my list ID to 1871. When I tried to associate the pop-up with the list by putting 1871 into the List ID property for the pop-up control, I noticed that the editor would revert the List ID to 0. Is there an internal state of Pop-up controls and Lists that is preventing the association to stick? Thanks, anybody else notice this?

If you put mono sample data in and mark it as stereo, each channel will have half the samples it should, so it will play at double speed (and double pitch).

Re: Streamed sound recording sampling problem
Hi Tom, ok, so it looks like you only read with the half sample rate in case of wave, correct? I would use a debugger and check the SndStreamCreate call. I don't know what happens but maybe the variable of sampleRate is trashed somehow. With the half samplerate you would play it with double speed.

Re: Nested_FrmPopupForm().
From: rci_ind [EMAIL PROTECTED] Can i use nested FrmPopupForm(). (snip of 'form A, form B, form C sequence) I don't think so but, more importantly, a form sequence this complex is going to be difficult to debug and maintain. It's not generally the way complex Palm interfaces do things. How should i ensure the proper closure of formB and formC? will i still have Field1 undisturbed? If you need to spread your data management over several forms you are better to isolate your data saving and loading to a separate module and then have each form interact with that. Each form then uses those routines to load the current record (generally using an index stored in a global variable), interacts with the user to edit the data and then saves the fields it has modified. In theory this means that the data module is free to save all of the data back to the database each time one of the forms closes, or to keep it all in global memeory until a final 'Save' button is hit and then update the database record. Your forms don't have to manage the data themselves and so it becomes easier to do things such as move a field from one form to another or split or combine forms later on. The data module can be built as if it was an object with get() and set() methods for each field. Although C doesn't support object-oriented programming syntactically there's no reason you can't apply object-oriented design principals.

Re: Displaying Float Values in simple format
Segmentation is handled differently depending on whether you are using Code
Warrior or PODS. I will assume PODS.
I strongly recommend the book Professional Palm OS Programming by Foster
and Bachmann. It contained this info and has lots more. I'm a relative
newbie as well.
1. Create a file and included it in your project, called sections.def. That
file should contain 2 lines-
application {YourAppName BIGAPP}
multiple code {segment1 segment2}
2. In the PODS makefile, include the statement MULTIPLE_CODE_SECTIONS = TRUE
3. Create a header file Sections.h containing
#ifndef _SECTIONS_H
#define _SECTIONS_H
#define CODESEGMENT1 __attribute__ ((section (segment1)))
#define CODESEGMENT2 __attribute__ ((section (segment2)))
#endif
4. For each function you want in the second segment, change the definition
of the function adding the code segment to the definition like this:
void yourfunction(void) CODESEGMENT2;
If you don't declare a code segment, it will go into the first segment.
You can declare more segments, in the same manner as above.

That means one of the arguments is bad. Since both of your arguments' values come from variables that are set by system calls (VFSFileOpen() and VFSFileGetAttributes()), I would start by checking the return values of both those functions to make sure they are really succeeding. Perhaps you are not actually able to open the directory or perhaps you are not able to get its attributes. Knowing the error code from these two functions might give you helpful information. By the way, to convert a numeric error code into its symbol (which is more meaningful, typically), the easiest way I know of is to look for the first byte in Incs/Core/System/ErrorBase.h. For example, that header says that 0x0500 is sysErrorClass. Once you know it's sysErrorClass, you can search all the include files for that string, and you will find a file that contains the error class and it will have the specific error types for that class. For example, Incs/Core/System/SystemMgr.h has sysErrParamErr in it, which is defined as (sysErrorClass | 2), and thus 0x0502. - Logan -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

Yes, there is. It's called Palm Reporter: http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/docs/devguide/UsingReporter.html Some third-party tools that work with this system are also available here: http://osx-palm-tools.sourceforge.net/ Although the page says it's for Mac OS X, based on the description, the HostTraceGlue tool should let you do the same sort of debugging calls from the real device as well. However, it will send them over USB, and I believe the Palm Reporter wants to communicate over TCP, so you'll need a USB-to-TCP translator. That page has one for OS X and doesn't have one for Windows, but it's not impossible to believe that Windows already has something like that available. 2) How can I get the EMULATOR to HotSync - not the snazzy new SIMULATOR... the old Govt Issue Green EMULATOR? I need to get a database file into the EMULATOR and cannot figure out how to move it into the mix. By far the easiest way to get a database into the Emulator is to simply drag the file icon onto the emulator window and wait for it to copy. If you want to hotsync, I think the Emulator can do a network hotsync. To make this work, you probably need to set the hotsync prefs on the emulated palm to try to use the network, you need to set the prefs of the emulator app to redirect netlib calls to host TCP/IP, and you probably need to make your PC's hotsync manager accept network hotsync connections. - Logan -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
command line building for metrowerks
is there any way I can use commandline to build my metrowerks codewarrior palm project ? I know cmdide.exe does the trick. But is it possible to add new source/header files in this type of process ? -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
