[b]How to create an auto startup application on WM5 ?
hi all I m asked to develop a application that will start automatically and will be in memory and at specific time it will show up some messages, basically it is appointment scheduler that will show time at specific time.
in windows, windows services are there which starts automatically and are continuously running in background or the simple application that make entry in register "Run" key and starts automatically when computer starts.

How to develop such application for WM5 devices is that possible or not. Any idea?
Automatically start up and running in background.

Thanks in advance..

Hi the one,

You can do it to ways,

Method 1: Yes. Make an application which does that and add shortcut to it to startup folder. You can also make a service for WM but that is more complicated and not need.

Method 2: Using a shortcut in a start-up folder is highly recommended. Another possibility is to add full path to your application to registry, at this level:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Init

Two values are needed:
"LaunchXXX"="full_path_to_your_app.exe"
"DependXXX"=hex:16,etc
The depend key, as its name says, lists what applications your application is depending on. So, the OS will wait for these applications to be started first, and then your app shall be executed.
This also requires that your application call back into OS by calling SignalStarted().

Hope Informative,
