I attempted to search the archives for this, but the current system for this is less than adequate on both egroups and escribe, and a google search was unfruitful, so I apologize in advance if this one has already been asked.
I have a desire to display a simple alert when an application has been launched without its globals and UI available. I wrote some test code using ErrAlertCustom, and it appears to function, but speaking to a colleague, he tells me to be careful, because this is a fragile mechanism. (And I believe him.) Looking at the Palm OS Programmer's API Reference, I see this function listed as "System Use Only". What I would like to know is if there is a better way using PalmOS to display a simple alert when a UI environment is not available. I imagine I could "roll my own" but would prefer to save that as a "last ditch" approach. All help is appreciated. -Dave Slotter -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
