I found a way to adjust the backlight to a preset level via voice command or an icon using the freeware MortRunner utility.

Using Microsoft Voice Command I say "start daylight" to increase the brightness to maximum when using the PDA outside - and "start dimlight" for the previous setting when back in. This work really well with the backlight application executing, adjusting and closing in less than a second.

1: Download & install MortRunner (http://www.sto-helit.de/freeware/poc...rtrunner-en.pl)
2: Execute Mortrunner.exe to register the .mortrun extension (you only need to do this once)
3: Place the attached mortrunner scripts file (text) the same directory
4: Make a shortcut to the scripts naming them "day light" and "dim light" - For voice command just make sure the link files are someware in the Start Menu or Start Menu/Programs.

The attached scripts are just simple text files thus:

Run "/Windows/Backlight.exe"
Mouseclick Backlight, 60,60
SendRight
SendRight
SendRight
SendRight
SendRight
Close Backlight

and:

Run "/Windows/Backlight.exe"
Mouseclick Backlight, 60,60
SendLeft
SendLeft
SendLeft
SendLeft
SendLeft
Close Backlight

Info on these commands in the readme with mortrunner.

Tested on AXIM x50v but others should work just as well.

Enjoy!
