Trying to write some code. I need to determine if the handheld is cradled or not. Some have told me that the Windows CE Services section of the registry (on the PC) is the place to look. However, these keys on my systems do not change upon cradling.

Any help?

Thanks!

Probably not the answer your looking for but you can check when active sync has been synced and what by the programs/ active sync.

Here is some snippets in c#:

//Add reference to ceutil in c:\windows\system32\ceutil.dll
[DllImport("CEUTIL.DLL", SetLastError = true)]
private static extern int CeGetDeviceId();


//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Function: IsDeviceConnected()
// Desc: Returns true, if a device is connected. Devices with Guest are considered
// Receives: nada
// Returns: bool
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
public static bool IsDeviceConnected()
{
int b = CeGetDeviceId();

switch (b)
{
//Guest value
case -1:
return true;
//No device
case 0:
return false;
//Real device
default:
return true;
}
}


Or if you are using OpenNETCF:

RAPI r = new RAPI();
r.Connect(true);

// make sure we're connected
if (!r.Connected)
{
r.Dispose();
General.ShowErrorMessage("Device not connected. Please connect it and try again.");
return;
}
