IP Routing Table
Hi all, I need to get some info from the IP Routing table on a Treo600 or Treo650. Where is this located? Are there any APIs to get to it, and if not, is there another way to look at the info there?

Files and Databases on the Palm.
Hi, Is it possible to open a Palm Database with the FileOpen Palm API call? I understand how Databases work and how files work. Are they cross-compatible? If it is possible is there an example somewhere I can see? Thanks, Lance -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
SD Card slot
Hi all, Does anybody know how to disable the SD Card slot? I have created my own launcher, but if an SD Card is inserted the system launcher comes up. I get the notification that a card was inserted, but no matter what I do in my notification handler, it doesn't stop the device from going to the system launcher. I have actually been able to get something to work if the card is already formatted, but if the card is unformatted and the user selects the option to format, it formats the card and goes to the system launcher. Is there a way to get it to either not launch the app to format the card or return to the preference set launcher?

Procedure alarm routine
Hi, I have read through the archives, and I have read the palm documentation on procedure alarms. I have implemented a shared library so my call back function will still be valid when the alarm goes off. I have several questions. 1. when I create my shared library, do I need to call SysLibInstall, or is SysLibLoad good enough? 2. To use my shared library I need to include the header file from my shared library to use the library calls right? 3. I am getting a compile error illegal use of inline function when I call AlmSetProcAlarm(). I am calling this from the sysNotifySleepNotify notification event. The illegal inline error is claiming that the AlarmSetAlarm is the illegal inline function not the AlmSetProcAlarm.

Using the Serial manager for USB
The palm documentation for using the serial manager for USB is very sparse. I can open a serial port, but every time I try to send data through that port I get a time out error. In the SrmExtOpen call there is a SrmOpenConfigType struct that has a drvrDataP for specific data about the driver. I suspect my calls might not be working due to the fact that I am opening the port with this value as NULL.

Setting up a RAS server on Windows XP
Hi, I have read in the palm-dev-forum archives several discussions about this, but I didn't understand some of the answers. It appeared that the only way to get a connection from a non-wireless device to your desktop is through a RAS server. Is that correct? Also, this can't seem to be done through USB. Since most Palm devices being sold now only come with a USB cradle this is a problem. Is there a way to get a connection from the palm handheld to the desktop through the USB?

DmResizeRecord on T3 device
Hi, I looked through the archives to see if there was already a thread on this subject and there was. But, it seemed to end with the writer solving the problem without using DmResizeRecord. What happens is: I resize a record. I lock the return from the resize. I do a writecheck and it returns just fine. I do a DmWrite with no errors. I then unlock the record data. I Release the record. I close the database. When I close it, it give me a DmWriteCheck error and freezes. This code works just fine on the Simulator, the emulator and a T2 device. But, not on the T3. Is there a known issue here and a workaround? Thanks Lance -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
resource types

How to make links

.r in pilrc and and question about loading libraries
I thank you all for your responses on the .r in pilrc. I used Heather's suggestion and it worked great. BTW I have CodeWarrior 6. When I started programming PalmOS we were using CodeWarrior 4. We moved to 5 and then to 6, but there always seemed to be some issues with these environments. So my company doesn't want to upgrade any further until we get more info on how stable the environment is. Anyway... I have noticed that in my code(inherited from somebody) that there is a syslibopen call that uses a name.lib (noting the .), but the actual DB on the terminal is namelib(without the .). Does this API simply ignore any .'s in names? This call does work correctly in the form it is at the moment. I was just curious about the discrepancy. It is the first argument for syslibopen.

.r file from pilrc in CodeWarrior

Re: Query - Emulating Multithreaded Environment in Palm
I have actually done this already(move from Windows CE with multiple threads, to the Palm OS). How I did it was: capture the nilEvent and have it run the code to check to see if anything has arrived at the recv port. It seems to emulate a multithread very well. Basically just put everything you want for the 2nd thread in the nilEvent. Lance Gregory [EMAIL PROTECTED] At 11:23 AM 3/26/02 -0500, you wrote: If you want to port to the palm, and your app is in C/C++, then the answer is not easily. The best thing you could do is to do a NetLibSelect() on your socket with a very sort wait time (say 0) and have the event loop wait for a short time as well. If you get a timeout from the select then you read the data from the socket and do what you have to do. For Java it's a different story - most of the VM's for the Palm support some form of multithreading (they have to given Java's communications framework, although it's supposed to be fixed in the 1.4 spec). There is the overhead of the VM, however, and you really can't run that many threads on the device. I've written several apps for the Palm that do the NetLibSelect(), it works very well. The key is to make sure your processing of the data doesn't take a long time (or long enough that users are bothered by the hesitation). In all honesty, there are very few apps for any handheld platform that should be doing long processing on incoming data which also require near-constant user interaction (I said few, not none). Multithreading can help alleviate some of these problems, but it's not a panacea (it's not too hard to bog down a processor with some bad code, be it a Dragonball or a Pentium IV at 2+ GHz...).
