How to schedule an Internet connection

External Since: May 26, 2004 Posts: 2

Hi,

I would like to schedule an Internet connection on PocketPC 2003 (QTek 2020) and then launch an application (it checks the arrival of new files on a FTP server).

It looks like ConnMgrRegisterScheduledConnection should be able to do that, but I am not able to have it work (EVC++ 3). There is not much information on that API anywhere.

Has anyone managed to do something similar ?

Thanks,

Peter

I could only schedule an application to run whenever a connection was established. Any other attempts returned an error.

So I used CeRunAppAtTime instead. It is more worrisome, but at least it works.

Now I have another problem : I can't unregister the scheduling (ConnMgrRegisterScheduledConnection with uiPeriod set at 0 and piggyback set at True). I am using the same token to unregister, but the damned calc.exe application keeps getting launched when I connect to the Internet.
