ok, i know how to run an app on power on with cerunappatevent. But, i
would like to know if i have an app already running, how do i call a
function if they power on.

So for example, the program is running, they turn the pda off, then
they turn the pda on again. I need to do something when they turn it
on again, but not run an app, just call a function.
 
Use a power notification. CeRunAppAtEvent can also set a system event.

well here is my code to run my app on power up:
bool bRet = CeRunAppAtEvent(@"\Program Files\myapp\myprogram.exe",
NOTIFICATION_EVENT_WAKEUP)

how would i change it to call a function?
 
ive tried that link several times and it always times out


Alex Feinman has written an example which demonstrates how to receive
power notifications and display a login dialog when the system is woken up:

Change the program name to "\\\\.\\Notifications\\NamedEvents\\Event Name".
Of course you'll have to create a EventWaitHandle with an explicit name that
matches the "Event Name". It will get signalled on wake.

The other option is to follow Sergey's advice to look at Alex's sample.
