Detecting vibrators and alarm leds programmatically

Sometimes, you really need to know if the handheld that your app runs on has a vibrator or a alert LED. These routines can help you:


Boolean hasLED()
{
UInt32 capabilities;
FtrGet(kAttnFtrCreator, kAttnFtrCapabilities, &capabilities);
if (capabilities & kAttnFlagsHasLED)
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}

Boolean hasVibration()
{
UInt32 capabilities;
FtrGet(kAttnFtrCreator, kAttnFtrCapabilities, &capabilities);
if (capabilities & kAttnFlagsHasVibrate)
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}

These routines worked in both PODS 1.1 and OnBoardC. Feel free to use them in your own apps!
