ILLUMINATE SP2002 3/9/2006

===============================================

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

Most smartphone programs don’t have implemented function to

keep backlight of the device ON while active. Even if they do,

it’s often tedious to go through the menu every time in order

to activate/deactivate it.

This efficient and small program (only 4,5K) functions as a

loader for desired application. It sets and keeps the backlight

on by changing registry settings and stays active(sleeps) until

the target program closes. Then it restores backlight settings,

notifies the power manager and exits.

It takes one input parameter: the absolute path to desired

program, which can be set by using shorcut/s.

BACKGROUND:

Instead of using SystemIdleTimerReset(); in a loop to reset

timer every few seconds, this program extracts reg. values from

HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight and ScreenSaver, stores them as a

global variables. Sets the new values and creates an event to

notify system of a change.

Runs the program and waits for its thread to close. After

reverting backlight settings, another call to power manager is

needed to make sure new values are active.

USAGE:

Configuration is pretty simple. After installation an example

shortcut is created in start menu, you can easily open

illuminate.lnk in text editor and change path to the desired

program. The default link points to calc.exe for demonstration:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"\IPSM\Program Files\Illuminate SP\illuminate.exe" \Windows\Calc.exe

change to

"\IPSM\Program Files\Illuminate SP\illuminate.exe" \IPSM\Program Files\SomeApp.exe

------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES:

Install on Phone, not Storage card.

This program is developed for and tested on smartphone 2002,

but it would probably work on win2003 based SP.
