Programming Visual Basic for the Palm OS

Configuring and Adding Files

Now, we need to create and organize our files within the DBSLib project. Under the Files tab in the DBSLib project dialog, create a group called Source. Select Project → Create Group from the main menu and enter Source as the group name. Under the Segments tab in the DBSLib project dialog, double-click on First Segment and change the segment’s name to AppSource. Do not change any of the other settings.

To create the DBSLib.c source file for the project, start with the Files tab selected in the DBSLib project dialog. Select File → New from the main menu, which brings up the New dialog (see Figure B-14). Select the File tab and click the Set button. Browse to the Src subdirectory for the project, type in DBSLib.c for the filename, and click Save. Check Add to Project, and check DBSLib under the Targets list. Your dialog should look like that shown in Figure B-14.

Click OK to create and add DBSLib.c to your project. Perform these steps again to create the following additional files: DBSLib.h, DBSLibMem.h, DBSLibMem.c, DBSLibDispatch.h, and Debug.h.

Your have now configured the DBSLib project, and you are ready to begin coding.
