Hi everyone.

I am developing an App for windows mobile 5 using Mobile In the hand 3.3, and I need to detect when the user plugs the device into a power supply, not to detect cradle mode using Active Sync, no, just when the user connects the battery charger.

By the way, it would be great if I an event would be raised. 

Thanks a lot. 

 Sorry about the auto-reply, but I think I got it.

I want to check if this is a good way to do it using In the hand mobile :

I work on C# :

private SystemState status;

status= new SystemState(SystemProperty.PowerBatteryState);
status.Changed += new ChangeEventHandler(status_Changed);

     
void status_Changed(object sender, ChangeEventArgs args)
{
            MessageBox.Show(args.NewValue.ToString());
}
 

Whe I plug the charger I got a value of 2 , unplugging it I get 0.

 What do you think about it ?

Thanks. 

You can cast the value to the InTheHand.WindowsMobile.Status.BatteryState enumeration type. 0 is Normal, 2 is charging with other values for Low, Critical etc

 The code that I posted above, works fine but there is still an issue ..., once the device's battery is fully charged, the status changes, and I lose the charging state.

Right now, I don't know how to detect that there's a charger pulgged in once the battery is fully charged.

Perhaps I should try to get the display's power safe state (I do not know its real name ) ?

Because when you plug the charger, the display increases its brightness, but I don't know how to do it.

Any idea ?

Thanks very much.
