DateToInt
I'm sure I'll get flamed for daring to ask a question on this newsgroup, but I have searched eGroups, www.palm.com, sdk 3.5 docs, etc with no luck. I am looking at the souce code for the Todo and Datebook examples to see how they implement dates. I noticed these two programs use a function called DateToInt(), but I can't find reference to this function anywhere. The comments say that a DateToInt() returning a negative number means no date. My question(s) is, what is the proper way to set a DateType to no date, and where do I find documentation on DateToInt()? Thank you all.

sizeof(DateType) == 2 ?
Can someone explain why sizeof(DateType) gives me 2? DateType is a structure declared as 3 UInt16 values, and of course if I do a (sizeof(UInt16) * 3) I get 6. Shouldn't I be getting 6 for DateType?

Re: sizeof(DateType) == 2 ?
Ahhh, thank you. I knew I was missing something obvious. Actually, I have
a book, it's just not great on explaining structures. You wouldn't know it
from my question, but I know C, I just haven't used it for 10 years, so I'm

Creating Events

in a field. I catch the keyDownEvent in the event handler and than try to
issue a fldChangedEvent. The fldChangedEvent never seems to be caught
though. Can anyone help me out here. Thanks.
case keyDownEvent: // Get key Event
fldIndex = FrmGetFocus(frm); // Get Index of the field currently having
focus
if (fldIndex == EditWordWordField)
{
EvtCopyEvent(event,&eNewEvent);
eNewEvent.eType = fldChangedEvent;
eNewEvent.data.fldChanged.fieldID = EditWordWordField;
eNewEvent.data.fldChanged.pField = FrmGetObjectPtr(frm,
FrmGetObjectIndex(frm,EditWordWordField));
EvtAddEventToQueue(&eNewEvent);
}
break;
case fldChangedEvent:
if (event->data.fldChanged.fieldID == EditWordWordField)

Re: Cobalt porting: No longer single prc for all OS versions
Okay I can agree with that. And your right, the Palm is much easier to program then the PPC using eVC (or whatever it is called). Palm has done a great job of maintaining consistent API's across the different devices. I would consider Frameworks like .Net or JVM an OS from the developers point of view. It is basically a different set of API's that you need to program for, different from the underlying OS. Thanks for the feed back.

Re: Cobalt porting: No longer single prc for all OS versions
Andreas,
I have mixed feelings. I am impressed that I could load my application
into the Cobalt simulator and it works fine, with only one problem I can
find so far. On the other hand I am surprised that they are making such a
radical move in development tools. I would have like Palm to work a little
closer with Metrowerks on this. It would have been nice to use the same
tool to create the new Protein applications.
I am starting to work with the CF .Net on the PocketPC and I find it really
nice to develop with, though a bit slow. Seems fine for database type apps
though. Another good thing about MS is that they are really open with their
developers about the direction they are going. Palm could learn something
from Microsoft about how to treat their developers.

Re: Converting Palm App to Win CE App
I would just re-write your Palm application using C# and VS .Net on the compact framework. Especially if it is a business type app and doesn't need to be ultra fast. That's what I'm doing.

The problem with most Basic type development tools on the Palm is that they are VM based, so you need to install a VM to make them run.

Re: RE: Re: Re: Re: RE: Font Family, High Density & xFont
LionScribe, Thanks for all your help. I did as you said and the font works for a new empty project. Regarding the older OS versions (pre 5.0 I presume) I will need to use just a font and not a font family. To clarify. I will need to check if the OS is 5.0 or up and use a font family if so. If the OS is less than 5.0 I need to use a font. Do I have this correct? Looks like I'll have a bit of work converting resources and importing my source into my new project. Sigh.

Re: Re: Re: RE: Font Family, High Density & xFont
Yea I've read everything I can find on it. Thanks anyways. I may try cutting chunks of the glyphs out or get it working for a very small subset and see if I can pinpoint were the problem is.

Re: Re: RE: Font Family, High Density & xFont
I did all this. Compiling the fonts with the latest version of the PilRC. I also tried the one that comes with CW. I than include the fonts as data in CW 9. After all this I still get the same error when linking. I've also tried adding/deleting glyphs. I'm about ready to pull my hair out here. This shouldn't be that hard.

Font Family, High Density & xFont
I am trying to create a custom font for my application. I have created two fonts that are proportional (one is double the other). I am using xFont to create the fonts and than compile them with the CodeWarrior PilRC plugin. I create a font Family in the Constructor and add the two fonts. Everything seems to go okay until I try to link it and Codewarrior gives me the following error. Link Error : PalmRez Error: tfnf ID=1000 element #2 NFNT 129 error 'Font is not compatible (glyph 0x81 width is not proportional)'. Compilation halted The strange thing is that the last glyph is 0x80 yet the error occurs on 0x81. What am I missing here? Any help is appreciated.

Re: dates in pdb header
I just checked my databases. I create a Palm database on the PC as 1970 based. It shows up on my Palm as 1904 based, When it is backed up onto the PC it is converted back to 1970 based.

Re: dates in pdb header
I think the documentation is wrong I had to use 1970 for the base year in
order for it to work with my Palm Reader/Writer classes. I remember reading
about this before but can't remember were.
Here's are my conversion routines in C#
static public long Date2Seconds(DateTime dt)
{
DateTime startDate = new DateTime(1970,1,1,0,0,0);
int totalDays;
long totalSeconds;
// get total day count
totalDays = dt.DayOfYear-1; // number of days in current year
if (dt.Year != startDate.Year)
{
for (int i = startDate.Year;i < dt.Year;i++)
{
if (DateTime.IsLeapYear(i))
totalDays += 366;
else
totalDays += 365;
}
}
totalSeconds = totalDays*86400; // multiply by the number of seconds in a
day
totalSeconds += dt.Hour*3600; // multiply by the number of seconds in an
hour
totalSeconds += dt.Minute*60; // multiply by the number of seconds in a
Minute
totalSeconds += dt.Second; // add remaining seconds
return totalSeconds;
}
static public DateTime Seconds2Date(long totalSeconds)
{
DateTime resultDate = new DateTime(1970,1,1,0,0,0);
resultDate.AddSeconds(totalSeconds);
return resultDate;
}

Re: Copy files from card to RAM on m505
Use VFS to read/write to the storage card (Palm calls it secondary storage). Use the normal Dm functions to read/write to RAM (i.e. primary storage). You shouldn't need the file streaming unless you are working with large blocks of data. Read the "8. Expansion" section in Volume 1 of the Palm OS Programmer's Companion. It is all explained in detail. Jamie "Bennett, Chris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:73184@palm-dev-forum... I have a question. What APIs are used to copy files from the card to RAM? Is it VFSMgr to talk to the Card and Files Streaming to talk to RAM? Some of the files being copied are PRC some are not.

VFS and access to database
Hi all, I think I understand the VFS manager, but I just want to confirm. You can not access a database directly on the memory card, using Dm functions. You need to use the VFS functions to move the database into Palm memory, do your thing, and than move it back to the memory card using VFS functions when you are done. Is this correct?

Re: Color Samples
Joe, I think you missed one in another thread. :-) Q: Can someone please tell me how to tell if the palm can handle the color and also how do I make the list lines have diff colors A: Use a custom list draw function (see LstSetDrawFunction()). You need to be careful to set the colors back, and also check for selected/unselected states for the items, which Palm OS sets certain colors for before calling your draw function. If you check the Palm OS SDK Reference and look for info on ListDrawDataFuncType (in the section on lists) you'll see how to do that check. Maybe this didn't answer his question fully, and he could be more specific on what he is looking for in a follow up question.

Custom Font and OS 3.1
Problem 1: I am using 6 custom fonts in my application. This works great on PalmOS 3.3 and above. The problem comes when I use it on Palm OS 3.1. The first 5 custom fonts work okay on 3.1, but if I use the 6th font, a built-in Palm font is displayed instead. Does OS 3.1 limit the number of custom fonts that can be used in an application to five? Problem 2: Now this is the really weird part. If I patch OS 3.1 to OS 3.1.1 I can't get any of the custom fonts to work. Instead of the custom fonts if get the DFL character for every character. Any help to point me in the right direction.

Re: When to use AppInfo v.s. Preferences
Basically anything that is database specific should be stored in your AppInfoBlock. With my app, different databases have different formats. This needs to be stored in the appinfo block so my app. knows how to interpret each database. Preferences can hold anything that is application specific. The problem with preferences though, is that they are deleted when the app. is deleted. The AppInfoBlock will stay with the database when it is backed up to the PC and reinstalled at a later time.
