CHAPTER 25 Customizing Your Handheld
Adding plug-in applications
You can create plug-in applications containing script commands that extend the functionality of
the built-in script commands. A plug-in application is a standard PRC application that you install
on your handheld just like any other application. After you install the plug-in application, you can
use the new script commands in a login script.
For example, you might use a plug-in application in the following situations:
You need the login script to properly respond to different connection scenarios defined by the
authentication server.
You want to perform conditional tests and branching as part of the login process.
Plug-in applications have the following characteristics:
Written in C language
Compiled into a device executable
Called properly from a login script
Able to return control to a login script after it terminates
Created using a development environment that supports Palm OS
®
software, such as
Metrowerks CodeWarrior tools.
