Add my own messages to home screen on a mobile 5.0 smart phone

[Guest]

hi, is it possible to add some output to the home screen on a mobile 5.0
smart phone, like Outlook does for upcoming appointment?

Yes, but not with .NET CF, at this point. You have to write a Today screen
item in unmanaged code. This has been covered in the past...

Actually there is a MSDN acticle showing how to do this in CF with the
WebBrowser .Net control and writing the content in HTML. But I don't
think this is what you want anyway.

It actually uses an unmanaged piece of code for the Today screen, but
provides the ability to retrieve the HTML that it shows from a .NET CF
piece. Here's the link:
