Running GapiDraw Based app in the Background


Running GapiDraw Based app in the Background

Postby Newbie » Apr 28, 2005 @ 11:16am

Hello

I would like to run a GapiDraw Based app in the Background. I would like the application to be started when the device is switched on, but the application must not display anything but run in the background (e.g. listening for directory changes). When the app is selected on the menu, it can then be displayed. Can I do this with a GapiDraw based app.

thanks
Newbie

You're looking to run the application in what is called 'kiosk' mode. You can do an auto-start the cheap and easy way on Pocket PC devices by creating a shortcut of the executable and placing it in the \Windows\StartUp directory and doing a soft-reset on the device.

There is also a 'kiosk' engine created by SPB that I've not used. You can find it here: http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/kiosk.html
