PowerAware class query for WM5

[Neville Lang]

Hi all,

In my VS2003-generated app, I have used the PowerAware class of Alex Feinman
so that I could detect when the power button is pressed. If the power button
is pressed for power on, this event triggers an update to a screen. This
feature has worked nicely for WM2003SE but now when my app is installed onto
a WM5 device, this feature does not work. Has there been any change in WM5
to make this PowerAware class inoperable? If so, what are the alternatives
for VS2003-generated code.

The reason for this query is that I am working on my last patch update of my
app from VS2003 in order that my app can install and work on WM5 devices
(unsigned). After this, I plan to use VS2005 and CF2 for future work.
