HI, You can add new categories to any apps that supports categories. But By justing adding new categories the app will not recognize the new category. You will have to do modification to the code. I've done this with the Mail Program. You need to modify the resources too. There it has hard coded Category names in the list.

Hi All, A specific question: how could I go about programmatically adding a category to a given database? (I don't want to have to call CategorySelect (or even CategoryEdit)). I've tried Finding the first zeroed out category name, and calling CategorySetName, but it didn't work. I think I'm running into the 'Don't use the CategoryGetName function to iterate through the categories' warning on the PalmOS5 info page for the function? Is there a straightforward way to do this in software? A general question: How evil will it be to attempt to add categories into the mail database? Has anyone tried it who's willing to relate their experiences? I don't need to hotsync emails back up to the client (though if it happened, I'd be thrilled), but I do want to make sure not to break anything. Also, does anyone know if there are any particular ordering restrictions upon the mail database as there are on the DateBook's database?
