Hello,
I'd like to write an application for a Palm TX that reads the Datebook (Calendar?) or ToDo database, selects the records from a particular category (for instance, all records from the category Deadlines), and prints them on the screen, together with the number of days up to every particular event (i.e. 36 days left to writing the paper, 72 days left to studying for the maths exam, etc.). Do you think this would be easy to do in Plua (I've never done any Palm OS programming). I've seen that there are some database I/O functions, but I'm not sure how they can be used to read (and write) Datebook and Todo records on the native PIM databases. Is there a source code example with an example of this (reading/writing from/to native databases). Thanks! |
Hi, I think that no have especial functions to this...
I too, never done any programm, but is a good language to learn. #------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------# Helton Eduardo Ritter - www.sourcedreams.com.br Equipe técnica da PHP Magazine - www.phpmagazine.org.br Blog Pessoal: livehelton.blogspot.com No mundo da Lua! vonluawelt.blogspot.com Técnico em Informática - programador web - SETREM - www.setrem.com.br Bacharelando em sistemas de informação "Tudo o que fazemos cansa.

Eu já escrevi um programa que abre
um memo qualquer, vc edita e salva e tinha a possibilidade de salvar como um arquivo .txt no cartao para ficar mais facil de usar no micro Se voce tiver interesse, vou procurá-lo e posso posta-lo ? me avise Vinicius Esteves do Nascimento www.vinicius.eng.br (por favor, alguem que fale portugues no post ) ( vamos trocar mais ideias ) |
Yes, if you can... please share your code.

Hello Ricardo
Perhaps this could be a start? It is a quick and dirty Plua 2.0 program that tries to list the contents of various Palm databases. But I don't know the structure of the databases so it is trial and error! The program tries to read 12 "fields" of each record in the database and list it as 12 lines on the screen. Using the KeyDown lists the next records 12 lines. There is no way of stopping except going through the whole database! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- --List database.lua screen.clear() gui.destroy() db="ToDoDB" --db="DatebookDB" --db="ExpenseDB" --db="AddressDB" --db="MemoDB" f,n = io.open("db:/"..db,"r") for i = 0,n-1,1 do screen.clear() f:openrec( i) s = f:read( "*a") if s~=nil then d = bin.unpack('BSBBBBBBBBBSB', s) for j = 1,12,1 do io.write("#",j,": ",d[j]," \n ") end while gui.event()~=keyDown do end end end f:close() ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Ricardo Sent: 6. april 2009 21:32 To: [hidden email] Subject: [plua] Datebook /ToDo databases Hello, I'd like to write an application for a Palm TX that reads the Datebook (Calendar?) or ToDo database, selects the records from a particular category (for instance, all records from the category Deadlines), and prints them on the screen, together with the number of days up to every particular event (i.e. 36 days left to writing the paper, 72 days left to studying for the maths exam, etc.).
