You can type Ctrl-C to enter "Command:" mode. You can then enter the letter of the command (that is, the shortcut letter in the menu). For instance, Ctrl-C followed by B in the Launcher will bring up the Beam dialog. From the release notes for Poser 3.0a1: *Bring us in-sync with the

Brandon, I already tried that. The font character does NOT match the better rendered version. I used POSE on Windows a Zoomin app from VC++ to confirm that edges of the circle are smoother and the i inside is 1 pixel taller. Font char may be "good enough" for some uses though. Randy

FldSetTextHandle()

2000-07-21 Thread Michael Zapeda
The task that i'm trying to accomplish is to set an editable field's (text box) text. Now i've tried a few things, and i cant get it to work. I've narrowed my search of API calls down to FldSetText() and FldSetTextHandle(). However, these functions dont take char*'s like good little UI objects,

2000-07-21 Thread Peter Epstein
If I understand what you're trying to do, all you need to do is call MemHandleNew to get a handle to a new chunk of memory, lock it with MemHandleLock, put the text you want into it with StrCopy, then unlock it with MemHandleUnlock, and finally tell the field to use it, with FldSetTextHandle.

Re: Memory Leaks

First since I am using C++ instead of C, I am using new and delete. This is the same as using MemPtrNew and MemPtrFree, right? You've got the runtime sources...you can see for yourself if this is true or not. New creates a nonmovable chunk in the dynamic heap and delete would delete it.

Granted this is just a rumor and it might be very inaccute. But it does not make independent developers feel any better. I am certainly not asking for 3 year advanced look at what Palm is doing, but if this were to happen in one month as the article says, it would be a nasty shock. I guess

It all comes down to this. I am not really interested in new products (well I am but I can be suprised by those), I am interested in knowing if old products are about to disappear. Interesting, that's a different perspective than the standard one. Thanks for clarifying. If I were in your

There are actually two issues: On the Palm VII itself, the INetLibCrackURL routine (which is used internally for ReqSend and URLOpen) has some problems with url encoding at the end of a target URL. It is possible to return a complex URL in a page, but not be able to actually submit the same URL

On a slightly different note, how do you un-hide an app in the default Palm launcher's "delete" menu? My app was compiled with the OS3.5 routines, but I was testing it previously exclusively on an OS3.3 device (I can delete it there with the "delete" in the delete menu form thing). Then when I
