So I created a Rapi tool that handles my file transfers between my mobile and
desktop.

Now I want the RAPI tool to run everytime I dock my PPC. Can I use
ActiveSynch? So I need to create a exe, that is always on? How can I make it
so my users do not need to do anything?

thanks

Hi Brian,

To get a program to start running whenever ActiveSync connects to a
device, simply add a registry value here:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\AutoStartOnConnect

For example, you could add a new registry string called "RAPI Program",
with a value of "C:\Program Files\RAPItest\RAPItest.exe"

Hope this helps !

Alternate methods:
1) Call CeRapiInit, which blocks (does not return) until a connection
is established

2) Poll by calling CeRapiInitEx and checking the return value.
