Re: How to say application can/can't run from 2nd storage ( In- PalmOS4.0)

2001-01-23 Thread jesse_donaldson
How can I say "This application can't be move to Memory Card." or how user know " Is this application movable or not?" There's not a very good way to do this, unfortunately. A couple of ideas: If you set the 'copy protection' bit on your app, the user won't be able to copy it to the card

Silly? The programmers reference manuals propagate this way! Hmm - I wasn't aware of that. Anybody know why this is? This technique probably causes the application to be backed up every time you run it then HotSync as well... Jesse Nik Wiesel [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 04/12/2000 01:26:52

I'm not sure I totally understand. Do you mean that any call to DmSetDatabaseInfo results in the app category being changed to the default, or only if you call it with the Beam Protection bit set? Most (maybe all) calls. But this is only if you are setting the info on the application
