FrmCustomAlert(myAlert, ""+CurChar, NULL, NULL); will either print
nothing or garbage I'd imagine. Are you trying to print the value of
CurChar? If so you'll need to convert it to a string first what you are
currently doing amounts to 'pointer arithmetic' and I'm not sure what
address you'll end up with!...alternately just print the value of
TempCode for debugging:
FrmCustomAlert(myAlert, TempCode, NULL, NULL);
Have you tried stepping through your code in the debugger? I'm sure
you'll find the value of CurChar will change (well, assuming any of your
if statements become true).

Subject: Re: Newbie to Palm question about using variable
The problem here is that it doesn't change even the first time.
I can't change the content of TempCode, in any way.
Say I put 1234 as the definition value of TempCode
char TempCode[5] = "1234";
I can never change that value....
It this and what ever I do It doesn't change.
More... the CurChar variable
if I print it with an alert
FrmCustomAlert(myAlert, ""+CurChar, NULL, NULL);
it print "" nothing...
---------
Ok, say I want to have a string with 1234 in it
and replace it's content with the caption of the button I press
how would you do that...( without having to extract the caption from the
button,
I already know, what's on the button)
