how to switch backlight off

[Michael Meyer]

hi,

I configured my PocketPC to switch off the backlight after 30 seconds.
Now I would like to switch on the backlight, when a special event
appears in my program.

I am using .Net Compact Framework 2.0 and C#

Regards

Michael

You could emulate a keyboard press using keybd_event but you'll have to
P/invoke this function. See here for how to code it:

Hi,

thanks. I will use this.

Do you know also a possibility to check the status of the backlight
(on/off)?

Regards

If running WM5 > have you looked at SNAPI, not sure if this will help you.
