Adding capabilities is a very basic issue when developing for S60 3rd Edition. If you don't have the appropriate capability added to your program, you would not have access to some system resources or functionality.

You can add/assign Capability to your program by adding the CAPABILITY keyword in the .MMP file of your project.

Example : If your application wants to send an SMS, it would require the NetworkServices capability. You can add the capability as shown below.

CAPABILITY NetworkServices

If you are using Carbide.c++ version 1.2, you can add capabilities under the "options" tab when editing a .MMP file.

If you need to read a message from a file, you will need ReadUserData.

CAPABILITY ReadUserData

Note:

• When you run your code on the emulator and look in the epocwind.out file, you will be able to see if you have got the correct capabilities specified in your .mmp file or not.

• After adding capabilities, don't forget to rebuild your project.
