Changing Power setting programmatically

[Indra Bisen]

Hi,

I'm developing a application using vb.net, cf 2.0 for some GIS
operation i.e. calculation area of tracklog. The PDA will be stop if
the power setting is set to TURN OFF DEVICE IF NOT USED FOR ON
BATTERY POWER. As we know this setting will used to conserve battery,
But it will create problem when user try to create a tracklog without
uncheck the above setting.

I want to write code in our application to automatically change this
setting when user start the program.

How can I done this ?

regards,

Indra Bisen

No, I don't think that you want to automatically change that setting when
you start the program. What you want to do is, while the program is
running, prevent the device from being suspended. That's been covered
dozens of times in the past. If you search in the archives for
SystemIdleTimerReset(), I think you'll find what you need.
