The stuff I've written, I've registered as the highest priority (yeah, I really shouldn't, but I need to get called)...my guess is the one that got registered first gets the event. I just checked the sources for the notification manager (4.0) and it looks like the entries are inserted into the list sorted using type and priority. I guess that maybe PalmSource should consider a "patch" mechanism for a future Palm OS version that handles things like this better. A user interface to see/control which item(s) has priority might be nice. -- Scott Gruby [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://www.gruby.com/> -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
