+registration resource files</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+
+<p>You need to register your applications
+in order to make them visible to the application menu and to provide other
+information to the underlying system. To register, you need to provide a registration
+resource file, typically named <parmname>&lt;application_name&gt;_reg.rss</parmname>,
+that contains the non-localized information for your application. You also
+need to provide the <xref href="GUID-9F90A2F0-9C76-4871-A766-D1AE0FC42C08.dita">localizable
+registration information</xref>. The registration resource file is compiled
+during the build process and included in the <parmname>pkg</parmname> file
+used to make the <parmname>sis</parmname> installation file.</p>
+
+<p>To create a registration resource file:</p>
+<ol>
+<li id="GUID-D97F1C74-A29A-4EF1-92C1-8FBAF2EE6F2F"><p>Determine
+the requirements of your application.</p></li>
+<li id="GUID-41830892-AA07-44F7-BCEE-4FACD88932FF"><p>Create a text
+file with the name <parmname>&lt;application_name&gt;_reg.rss</parmname>.</p>
+</li>
+<li id="GUID-7EE5ADE9-C5D4-43E0-BB94-977CB064CF2D"><p>Include the
+appropriate header files. Typically, you need to include the following files:</p>
+<itemgroup>
+<ul>
+<li><p><parmname>appinfo.rh</parmname>, which is the resource header
+file that includes the data structure declaration for the resource statement
+used in the registration resource file.</p></li>
+<li><p>compiled resource header file for the resource file with
+the symbolic ID for the<xref href="GUID-9F90A2F0-9C76-4871-A766-D1AE0FC42C08.dita"> localizable
+registration information</xref>.</p></li>
+<li><p>localization file, depending on you implementation of the
+registration resource file.</p></li>
+</ul>
+<p>For more information on pre-processor statement syntax, see <xref href="jar:GUID-35228542-8C95-4849-A73F-2B4F082F0C44.jar!/sdk/doc_source/ToolsAndUtilities94/DevTools-ref/ResourceFileFormat/Tool_Ref_RSS-file-format.preprocess.html#DevTools%2dref%2erss%2e3" format="application/java-archive">C++ pre-processor statements</xref>.</p>

+<li id="GUID-42A15A31-6A2C-4937-9615-A128068E2F76"><p>Add a statement

+<codeblock id="GUID-A82F0146-5B48-48C8-A5F5-F200D08A6C4D" xml:space="preserve">UID2 KUidAppRegistrationResourceFile</codeblock>
