Re: Windows mobile 5.0 screen saver

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

1. No, there is no standard screen saver API.
2. You're just writing a program that happens to pop to the front of the
application window stack, covers everything, etc. when the device has been
idle for some period. It's just an application, so you can do anything an
application can do.
3. Yes, it's just an application. You can do anything an application can
do. Why would you want to do this, though?
4. Huh? That's up to you.
5. Since you haven't said what the DLLs do, how can we answer this?!
6. There are several time-out values stored in the registry. You can
configure the device to turn off the display backlight after a certain
period of inactivity, with separate settings for A/C power and battery
power, and you can also set the time before the device suspends, again for
A/C power and for battery power. Since there is no system concept of a
screen saver, you won't find any settings already in the registry or any
Control Panel applet for changing them. You'd have to do that yourself.

Why do you want to do this?
