Howto call "Hardware" ?

[Bertil Lindstrom]

:sign0163:Hi !
I am new to this forum and also to b4ppc.
Now I try to make a simple app that shall open the SIP, it doesnt work.
So trying to call other functions in the external libs.
This is the latest, it doesnt work either -

I have added the DLL.s both for the desktop and the device, created objects
and all that. What I can get to work is only those functions (in the LIB) that returns a value (DLL-version etc).

Am I out in the dark side or what??

Can someone point me in the direction of how to call those functions like Open SIP, Backlight on/off etc.

Best regards
Bertil

'========== CODE begins ===========
Sub Globals
'Declare the global variables here.
End Sub
Sub App_Start
Form1.Show
Hardware.New1
End Sub
Sub Button1_Click
Hardware.BackLightOn False
End Sub
Sub Button2_Click
Hardware.BackLightOn True
End Sub
'========== CODE ends ===========

This simple programs adds a textbox to form1 and opens the SIP:

Sub Globals
   'Declare the global variables here.
End Sub

Sub App_Start
   Form1.Show
   AddTextBox("Form1","TextBox1",40,20,100,25,"")
   Sip(True)
End Sub

Remember: The SIP ist only visible if you run this program on the device!

Forget to mention the backlight... :signOops:

The correct syntax ist

Hardware1.BackLightOn

which turns the backlight on. No True or False is required because if you want to cancel the BackLightOn command you should use

Hardware1.BackLightNormal

But, as mentioned in the help file, not all functions of the hardware.dll will work on all devices. So it may be impossible to get these both functions work on your device.
