You have got a point there. When I was a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, Microsoft treated me with respect. Palm has barely acknowledged my existence. -Original Message- From: Dmitry Grinberg [mailto:dmitr...@gmail.com] Sent: 13 January 2009 19:01 To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: Re: A

WinDraw Operations .. Help please

Hello, how is the Draw Operation 'WinInvert' actually implemented. As it does not appear to follow the SDK documentation, from SDK : 'winInvert Bitwise XOR the color-matched source pixel onto the destination. This mode does not honor the transparent color in any way.' Usage : when inverting a

Well, it really depends on what you want to achieve. Blackberry is one of the worst platform when you want to develop performant applications or games. So what if you want to build one for WebOS if you only have a JS engine ? > From: shea...@tiscali.co.uk> To: palm-dev-forum@news.palmos.com> Su

Access to the native code layer

2009-01-13 Thread Philip Sheard
Interesting question: are Java apps native on a Blackberry? I would argue that they are, or at least that it does not matter, because the Blackberry is a JVM device. I think that a lot of this nonsense about native code is snobbery. In our world, the world that we grew up in and are comfortable wit

Not yet. Program in JavaScript? Pffft, I'd rather program in BASIC. Since I doubt the built-in apps are written in JavaScript, but believe that they do use HTML and CSS as the GUI layer (via the DOM), I conclude one can write apps for WebOS in a reasonable language that integrate with the
