Extension

Description

Allows setting multiple alarms to launch PalmOS or Satellite Forms applications. Variable re-trigger time. Set multiple alarms for the same application or different applications.

This extension requires Satellite Forms 2.0 Developer Edition or greater.

A full sized keypad like the calculator for the user to enter a number. This extension has global functions as well as a control that you can link to the edit controls in your Satellite Forms applications.

This control also looks for events from the Symbol Technologies SPT-1500 and automatically hits the enter key, closing the form when a scan is received. This allows continuous scanning with the option of entering a quantity by hand.

This extension is designed to give Satellite Forms developers more functionality and control of their variables. The main uses for this extension: Memory Control - create and destroy variables as required. Standard/Associative Array(s)Run Time Variables - you are able to create "variables" named at runtime. Speed - faster than database functions.

The Bar Charting extension is designed to provide the easy creation of fast, dynamic bar charts. The borders, fill pattern, colours, chart title, axis titles, grid lines, markers and axis minimums/maximums are all configurable and can be altered dynamically. Data can also be added and removed dynamically which means that you have the option of utilising Satellite Forms variables or fields from tables.

CopyLock is an extension that provides several methods to aid you in making your Satellite Forms application much more resistant to unauthorized copying.

It gives you the ability to set and query multiple registration levels and timeout characteristics for your application. It also supplies shareware abilities where the user has x days use and/or x number of uses before the program becomes inoperable.

The DES Encryption extension is a Satellite Forms plugin that provides DES encryption and hexadecimal data conversion functions. Features Include: Encryption/Decryption on both Palm and PC under the Data Encryption Standard to secure your data.

The Event Capturing extension is designed to stop your Satellite Forms program from exiting. This is often essential for developers wanting to lock users into their application. This extension also gives the developer the ability to capture the exit attempt through a SFX plug-in control. This is useful if the developer wishes to perform certain "clean up" procedures before allowing their application to exit.

The Hash extension is a Satellite Forms plugin that provides MD5 and MD4 one way cryptographic hash functions.

These functions can be used to add security to your SF application, including: Password Match Verification without needing to store Passwords on the Palm; Registration Match Verification without needing to store the Registration key on the Palm; Message and Message Origin Verification using "digital signatures".

HotSunc allows you to specify which application your Palm device will be left in after the completion (successful or otherwise) of a HotSync. You can specify different destinations for local and modem HotSyncs.

Typically HotSunc would be used in a vertical application situation where you want to lock your users into your app.

Allows users to enter data from a dialog box. Displays 1 to 3 buttons with user definable captions. Can be linked to Satellite Forms edit controls. The input field can be disabled, allowing user to select from the buttons. The buttons and the form are automatically sized to hold the proper information.

PalmoDB from Palmosoft provides a super binary search (and supersort) allowing the programmer to sort and search for two keys (now the BinarySearch or QSort gives the ability to get only ONE KEY). It handles TWO conditions: 1. It takes THE FIRST RECORD EQUAL TO VALUE(S) PASSED (the Binary Search does not necessarily return the first match). 2. If the matched condition is filtered OUT, the value is NOT FOUND, as the extension gives you ONLY search for records observing filters you have created.

PalmoLPT from Palmosoft enables IrDa printing for every printer compatible with IrLPT or IrComm without requiring a runtime license for each Palm device! Now you can add wireless infrared printing to your Satellite Forms application without needing to pay the high cost of per-device license fees.

SFBeamerPRO is an enhanced replacement for the original SFBeamer extension. SFBeamerPRO gives you the ability to:

• Beam individual tables/files from one Palm device to another
• Beam individual or multiple records from a Satellite Forms table from one Palm device to another running the same Satellite Forms program, without requiring the recipient to leave the Satellite Forms application to receive records
• Beam a package of multiple files (such as a complete Satellite Forms program, extensions, runtime engine, icon, etc.) from one Palm device to another, requiring the recipient to only tap the Accept prompt once to receive the whole package

SFBinaryLookup is a replacement for the built-in Satellite Forms Lookup control with two big differences:

1. It works with sorted data by using a binary search to do the lookup. This can increase the speed of lookups by massive amounts.
2. It handles filters! The control has methods that let you access the displayed data and hide/show the control.

A custom SFX control that provides color and greyscale bitmap display capabilities for your SatForms applications! Because it is a custom control, it integrates directly into your forms like other native controls. You can configure the control to select which image to display from a table datasource, an edit control, or directly via a script command. SFBitmapView supports SatForms 3.0 and higher, and PalmOS 3.0 and higher. Yes, you can add colour bitmap support to your SatForms 3.x application!

A utility that lets you avoid some of the annoying redrawing that Satellite Forms forces you to do at times. Often you don't really need to call Repaint etc...

This utility lets you copy a screen image, do some stuff, then replace the stored copy of the image - all without the annoying redrawing and reloading of controls.

SFControlAdorner lets you easily add borders to most Satellite Forms controls. You simply create an adorner object and link it to the control you want to adorn.

You also specify the type of adorner. That's all you have to do. The adorner will be automatically drawn around the control, and will also remove itself if the control is hidden.

A simple SFX plugin extension that enables you to change several attributes of most standard SatForms controls on the fly, including: getting/setting a control's font, location on the form, bounds (location and size), as well as the ability to easily add full color support to your application, letting you change the colors that controls, text, and other form objects are drawn with. You can make your application more appealing by using the full Palm color palette instead of just relying on the default colors, or even add the ability for your users to customize the color scheme to their liking.

SFDateBook allows your Satellite Forms application to integrate with the Palm Datebook application.

SFDialPhone allows Satellite Forms applications to dial a phone number on either a Handspring Treo or Kyocera QCP smartphone device. The function launches the phone dialer, dials the phone, then restarts your application. A Redial function is also included.

Several controls already support OnClick actions (buttons, checkboxes, etc.), but several other controls do not have built-in OnClick support at all (edit fields, paragraph controls, text controls, titles, bitmaps, etc.). SFOnClick lets you add OnClick actions to these controls.

Enables you to integrate the Kodak PalmPix digital camera into your Satellite Forms applications. SFPalmPix provides methods for you to:

• Retrieve and modify the database of PalmPix images already on the Palm (Including image attributes such as image name, date/time taken, image size,zoom, Private status, HotSync status, and image category)
• Rename or delete images from the database
• Display image thumbnails from the database in color or greyscale
• Display live viewfinder frames or thumbnail images from the camera
• Take photos and save them to the image database
• Beam photos to another Palm

A full-featured sample application is included to demonstrate all of the functions in the extension.

Provides several handy record-related methods for Searching, Counting, Looking Up, Copying, and Removing records quickly and easily. Enables you to copy complete tables, visible records, or selected records (for example, all records where the productid=15, etc.) to another table in a flash, including copying Ink fields. Versions are available for both the Palm OS and PocketPC platforms.

SFRecordUtils is fully compatible with all versions of Satellite Forms 3.0 and higher, including SF EE 4.0.1.

SFScrollbar is a simple SFX custom control that adds a general purpose vertical scrollbar to your form. A sample application is included that demonstrates all of the features and functions of the SFScrollbar. The sample app shows the use of the SFScrollbar to scroll through records in a listbox.

A simple SFX plugin extension that enables you to "freeze" the screen display, enabling you to perform tasks without updating the screen or causing flicker, then "unfreeze" the screen when your tasks are complete. SFScreenLock requires PalmOS 3.5 or higher (its functions are simply ignored old older PalmOS versions).

A simple SFX custom control that adds spin buttons for quickly incrementing/decrementing a value in an associated edit control. You drop the SpinControl onto your form where you want it to appear (most likely immediately to the right of an edit control), associate it with the edit control, and set its starting behaviour properties via the control config box, and you're off and running. Most of the spin control properties can also be queried and modified via script functions.

A SatForms plugin extension that enables you to integrate the standard Palm ToDoList database with your SatForms project. It enables you to have full read/write access to the ToDo database, full ToDo category support, and even supports beaming of ToDo items or entire categories!

SFTypeAheadFieldAdorner lets you add "type ahead" facilities to your SF edit fields. Once you associate an adorner to a field and a table/column, any characters entered by the user will cause the nearest match in the table to be displayed in the field (via a very fast, filter obeying binary search).

The characters after those that the user typed are highlighted so that they can keep typing to refine the entry. Obviously the table you use must be sorted by the column you associate with the adorner.

The Soundex Extension generates a Soundex code (up to four-characters). This code can then be used to evaluate the similarity of two or more strings. The Soundex code is generated using the phonetics (sounds) within a string. This is especially useful when searching for a name that may be spelled various ways.

SuperDroplist is a supercharged droplist SFX custom control that offers numerous enhancements and benefits over the standard droplist control, including: ability to specify list items via code without needing to link to a table, can link to table like standard droplist, add/remove items on the fly, incremental search of sorted list items via Graffiti (search-as-you-type), combo box option, escape proof, automatic or settable size width and height, settable list and caption fonts, and more!

The TcpIpConnection Plug-In allows basic TCP/IP socket communication and simple string based queries. It offers all neccessary capabilities to open, close, read and write a connection. Usefull for SPT1740 devices which usually needs to communicate with a more straightforward protocol than the standard syncing does.
