If the user clicks on the bracelets link it should open the bracelets page (bracelet.txt) . Change the url property to ?bracelet.txt.
If you wish to add a link to the home page the url property of that link should be ?0.
Add the rest of the links and an image to home.txt .

We have a beta version available which will allow developers to directly publish their GoDB applications to the UIQ device. Please download GoDB 3.4 RC2 version and proceed to download Symbian.zip. Please go through the deployment section of the GStudio help file, on how to deploy to your device. This is beta implementation and user feedback is most welcome.
GoDB was designed primarily to develop business applications which can run cross platform.GoDB currently runs on Windows PCs, Linux Pcs, Linux based devices like the Amida Simputer and Encore Simputer, Palm , Pocket PC and Symbian devices. Support for Symbian specific APIs is, thus not supported however all necessary APIs to build business apps are wrapped in GoDB APIs.
We support most of controls needed for Form based development, like Lables, Buttons, check boxes, List boxes etc. We also have support for Frames, Grids, Look up tables, Signature fields etc. For a complete list of controls available in GoDB please look at "Form Tags" section of the GStudio help file
External shared libraries can be written to load platform specific APIs like Telephony APIs.
