Synchronize PDA time from PC

[Gianco]

Hello all

I would know if is possible to synchronize the PDA time directly from
a desktop application using the RAPI.dll trough the USB connection

In the RAPI.dll there's the function CeSyncTimeToPc but it's
undocumented and when I try to load it with the GetProcAddress
functions I obtain a null pointer to the function (probably it's just
my mistake)

Which is the best method to synchronize the PDA time? Alternatively,
is possible that a PDA obtain the PC time?

I know it's possible to let the ActiveSync to do it but I would avoid
to explain all my customers how to set this option because some of
them could set in a not proper way other settings

Thank you
Gianco

Hi,

You can call a function via RAPI with CeRapi Invoke that calls
SetSystemTime on the device.
