1- Add CPDB support to your application

C language

Introduction

CPDB is a Palm shared library. To add CPDB support to your C application, you must only open the library, it's very easy and some Macro are provided to simplify the manipulation.

The CPDB library, a little prc file, must be installed with your application. For your testing session you must install the lib on the POSE Emulator, like another application.

•  Run POSE emulator
  
•  Drag & drop the CPDBSTD.PRC file on POSE emulator
  
•  Save the session with : right-clic/Save on POSE emulator

•  Run Hotsync Install tool (in the Palm Desktop section of your program menu)
  
•  Clic on [Add] button, browse to select "CPDBSTD.PRC" in your cpdb.net installation directory
  
•  Clic on [Done] button
  
•  Hotsync the Palm device

It's very easy to install CPDB library each time you run your test or debug session.

•  Open your project and clic on [Project/Properties] menu
  
•  Choose you settings on the combo box, most of time you choose "Debug" settings
  
•  Clic on the [Debug] tab
  
•  On the right of the "Load Additional Applications" field, clic on the [Add] button (the paper bitmap button)
  
•  Browse to select "CPDBSTD.PRC" in your cpdb.net installation directory
  
•  Clic on [OK], it's done !

Do the same way to install a CPDB database for use with CPDB.

Some addition must be done on your main.c and your application header file.

In main.c :

- Add the following line before the first function of your code :

// #include ...

CPDB_USELIB

// First function

Note : do not type a ";" on the end.

- Add the following line in your "StartApplication" or PilotMain* function :

static int StartApplication(void)
{
	CPDB_OPENLIB
	
	FrmGotoForm(frmMain);
	return 0;
}

* Before the first form is opened

Note : do not type a ";" on the end.

- Add the following line in your "StopApplication" or PilotMain* function :

static void StopApplication(void)
{
  FrmCloseAllForms();



  CPDB_CLOSELIB
}

* Before the end of execution, after the "EventLoop" and AFTER closing forms (by this way, you can close your databases in the FrmClose event).

Note : do not type a ";" on the end.

In the application header file :

- Add the following lines in any place :

#include "CPDBSTD.h"

CPDB_EXTERN_USELIB

You need to put the "CPDBSTD.h" file in your project directory. You can find this file in the CPDB installation directory.

Note : do not type a ";" on the end of the CPDB_USELIB line.

Four line to add, your application is CPDB ready !

Library

CPDB.net Library

This PalmOS library is compiled in C. It is provided with its .h file and documentation.

The library can be used by all applications developed with CodeWarrior, Falch.net or PRC-Tools.

Included :
Generic conduit for CPDB.net and CPDBWizard

The generic conduit CPDBConduit allows to convert a PC database in a CSV-like format into a Palm database (CPDB format).

CPDBWizard enables you to describe your data bases and generates for you the source code necessary to their exploitation.
