The COM Sync Suite is part of the Palm OS® Conduit Development Kit for Windows from PalmSource, Inc. This suite allows you to directly access information on Palm Powered™ handhelds from a desktop computer using any COM-enabled programming environment and language such as Visual Basic (VB), Visual C/C++, Borland C++ Builder, Borland Delphi, and Java.
NOTE: While the COM Sync Suite can be used in any programming language that supports COM, this document is written with Visual Basic developers in mind.
The following chapters describe the COM Sync interface, objects, methods, properties, constants, and error codes, each in alphabetical order. The sections of this chapter show the following sample descriptions:
