Yes, you need to install two prc files on your handheld before you can access the DIA functions with it. Most programs which support the DIA functions include these files with the app along with instructions on how to install them. I'm sure you can find them just by doing a google search for "tungsten t3 dia files" or something similar.
On the simulator, these are supposed to already be installed. I use the T3 simulator and never had any problem with FtrGet(pinCreator, pinFtrAPIVersion, &version). You could try downloading it again or just installing the prc's might work. -- Tim Kostka "Zack Shenkle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > We just got a Tungsten T3, with a dynamic graffiti input area (DIA) > (allowing portrait and landscape modes), and I'm trying to enable my palm > app to support the DIA.
