Developers Guideline UIQ C++ and PersonalJava
API Limitations
Some components in the P800, P900 and P910 series have been replaced and therefore some of the standard Symbian/UIQ APIs are not valid.
COMMDB Object
The following interface has a slightly different behaviour:
CCommsDbTableView::ReadTextL(const TDesC& aColumn, TDes8& aValue)
The difference relates to the type of data stored in 'aColumn'.
In the SDK version of COMMDB, 'aColumn' is either narrow text (EDbColText8) or wide text (EDbColText16). If it is wide text, a conversion is performed.
In the P800, P900 and P910 series version of COMMDB, 'aColumn' must be narrow. If it is not, the client will receive the following error:
Category - DBMS
Reason - 7 (EDbWrongType)
BIOMSG Object
The following MTM library is not present in the P800, P900 and P910 series:
Z:\SYSTEM\PARSERS\wapp.dll
Any client attempting to dynamically load this library will receive the error code
BAFL bassnd.h
Built in system sounds, i.e. in ROM, cannot be replaced by using the function:
BaSystemSound::SetSoundL()
CEikInfoDialog
Subclassing of CEikInfoDialog is not recommended in the P800, P900 and P910 series.
WAP stack
The component does not exist in the P800, P900 and P910 series – do not use these APIs. Another unpublished set of APIs are used.
