The way to fins stuff like this is to look at the source for the control
panel applet and see what it does. If fo no other reason, this is why just
about every CE developer should get the eval edition of Platform builder
(pay for shipping only, or download the several GB if you're lucky).
Install it and make sure you select the shared source option. Sure, it will
time bomb in 120 days, but it's likely you'll never run PB anyway - the
public source is what you're after.

Marvellous.

If only they'd called it "AlignScreenUI" I might have found it :-)

Thanks,

We are trying to start the actual Align Screen from our application
(not
simply the control panel settings window). We are running in a kiosk
type
mode and don't want to ever give the users access to anything we
haven't
started.

The only way I have found to do this is start the "ctlpnl.exe"
application
with the parameter defined to show the screen applet. Once this is
started
I
enumerate the windows until I find the button with the ID of the "Align
Button" and synthesize a pointer click on it.

I'm not too keen on this (other than it currently works). Is there a
better
way?

Cheers,

Peter
