Yes. With SysNotifyRegister, you indicate which notification code you want to subscribe to. A notification code is a 32-bit unsigned int and must (obviously) not collide with others. The system notifications codes use the same convention as Creator IDs (look at NotifyMgr.h) : all lower case codes are reserved for Palm OS. > that sounds a bit odd. I must be missing something here. Using a creator ID is a convention that David Fedor recommended to me a couple of weeks ago. I'm not sure this convention is already documented somewhere (it definitely should, in my opinion), but it is obviously necessary to have something like that. Basically, my understanding is that notification IDs must be unique, so first use your creator ID, then if you need further codes, register them in the Creator ID database. -- Denis Faivre - [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Ablivio - http://www.ablivio.com -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
