Program UIDs are need when adding a button to a skin that you want to launch a specific program. This item will show you how to find out the all illusive UID for any given program.

To find the UID for any given program:

1. Start the actual program you want your button to launch when tapped – in this case I'll use SMan.
2. Now launch TaskMan - if you don’t have this you can get it for free from the SymbianWare Tracker page.
3. Tap on the icon next to SMan.
4. Tap the Actions menu up top then tap Advanced >> Application Info.
5. You will then see a screen with:
    
   
Name: SMan
UID: 0x101FB40F

HeapSize....

 
6. It’s the UID line that we’re after. Basically the app.uid argument for a Tracker button is the value displayed next to the UID line in TaskMan – minus the “0x”.

So, for a SMan button, you’d use something like this:

BUTTON= 100, 100, 102 , "101FB40F ", "BMPs\SMan.bmp", "BMPs\SManPressed.bmp"
