Hello,

I'm trying to lock and unlock the device (Screen, Button) using the same
integrated mechanism that the default lock and lock by a passcode integrated
in the phone.

Any idea how to do that? Any P/Invoke?

Thx

Hello Cedric

Idont remember the exact key, but sending vk_f22 or vk_f24 should lock your
device. There is also an API call (something like shLockDevice) but this is
not implented on all WM5 devices.

regards

Hello Cedric

although you can use the vk_ solution or the api to lock the device, you
cannot unlock the device programatically.
If you call the API or send the lock key value a second time the unlock
screen appears and a human can unlock the device.
Maybe you can simulate screen taps and so unlock the device.
