System Notification Events...

[Brian H]

I understand how the notification events work, for example, setting my app
to run on Sync End, et.al. Is it possible to capture these events in my app
(assuming, of course, it is running)?

Thank you!
Brian

You can take a look at OpenNETCF.org's notification API:

Hi Maarten,

Thanks! I looked at it; I think I was looking for the System Events ...
after digging around OpenNetCF I see Alex has a PowerAware sample -- this
seems to be what I'm after. But, is there a way to detect any of the other
events? IE, to register my app I can use any of the following event types:

Const NOTIFICATION_EVENT_NONE = 0
Const NOTIFICATION_EVENT_TIME_CHANGE = 1
Const NOTIFICATION_EVENT_SYNC_END = 2
Const NOTIFICATION_EVENT_DEVICE_CHANGE = 7
Const NOTIFICATION_EVENT_RS232_DETECTED = 9
Const NOTIFICATION_EVENT_RESTORE_END = 10
Const NOTIFICATION_EVENT_WAKEUP = 11 'PocketPC only
Const NOTIFICATION_EVENT_TZ_CHANGE = 12 'PocketPC only

Is it possible to capture any of these events with an event handler?

You can use CeRunAppAtEvent
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wceui40/ht
ml/cerefCeRunAppAtEvent.asp) and manually fire an event based on the command
line.

Thanks Robert--

Actually I just posted another thread above about this, but where my point
of confusion on this is how can the app "know" (ie receive an event) if it's
already running? If the app is running I know it receives focus when the
CeRunAppAtEvent is fired -- but I'm not sure how to get the app to be aware.

Thank you,
Brian
