launch app on power up

[Stu]

WM2003/PPC2002
vb.net vs.net 2003

Is there any way to force an application to launch when the PPC device is
started up? I've looked around in the registry but didn't see anything
promissing.

Thanks!

Search the newsgroup for CeRunAppAtEvent

Turned out to be as easy as making a short cut and placing it in the
\windows\startup folder Silly me, always trying things the hard way just
because my boss thinks they need to be.

Incidently, I wasn't able to find any references to CeRunAppAtEvent for
..NET, found plenty for eVB.

Now if I can just figure out how to change the backcolor of a button I'll be
set...

You want to search the *newsgroup* for that string. It's an API function
which you would P/Invoke from your .NET CF code. Here's a link to the start
search page...

I bet that "background color button" will get you started on the other
question, too.
