Re: Add a menu item to system menu

as the positionId parameter, and your own (hopefully unique) command id. When your SysHandleEvent sees a menuEvent, and the id == your unique command id, call FrmGetActiveField to get the field, and then do your mail thing. -- Ken -- Ken Krugler TransPac Software, Inc. http://www.transpac.com +1 530-470

Re: chrDelete in palm

Is chrDelete command char disfunctional in palm os 4.1 5.0 ? We enqueued it as follows : EvtEnqueueKey(chrDelete,0,0); But it does not act upon it . The OS simply ignores this char . Is something missing here ? Use chrBackspace, not chrDelete. -- Ken -- Ken Krugler +1 530-470-9200
