Sorry, meant via CardPro or Backup (or other application), not programatically. I knew how to write a program to do it :-) Then Adam said: > > Ick.

While I love the way the user interacts with JogAssist, I hate the way the programmer interacts with the JogAssist API. HandEra has something like JogAssist, though nowhere near as full featured. Neither the user nor the programmer have to be aware of it, because if the program's event handler returns handled when it gets a jogdial event, nothing else is done with that event, so the jogdial helper never sees the event. This matches the way events are handled just about everywhere in the PalmOS API. (skipping detailed lecture, since I think everyone on this list should know what I'm talking about). On the other hand, with the Sony JogAssist API, either the user must turn off JogAssist for that application, or the programmer must futz with API calls to turn off (some|all) JogAssist functions on (some|all) forms. Otherwise, the application never even sees the raw events. It isn't a really bad way to do it, but it isn't the PalmOS way, and I think the PalmOS way is better, even if the PalmOS way isn't precident. I do see how people would prefer the Sony way if it wasn't being used in a system that does everything a different way, as that would be a matter of taste. _______________________________________________ plucker-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-dev
