Sample Application

SFProgAlarm is a Satellite Forms plug-in extension that enables you to manage program alarms for your application. You are probably familiar with appointment alarms provided by the Palm Datebook app, which have the ability to wake the Palm up and display a message about appointments. SFProgAlarm enables you to program the Palm to wake up at a specified date and time, and perform certain actions.

SFProgAlarm supports the following alarm event actions:

• just wake up the device
• wake up and play a specified system sound
• wake up and launch a specified application
• wake up and enqueue a keystroke or virtual char

Some examples of program alarm usage include: running a data backup routine at a predefined time; performing a hotsync at a scheduled time; signalling the user to perform a task at a scheduled time; etc.
