Programatically Turn on Backlight

[Guest motbe]

I've seen comments about this posted before in this forum, but the question was never truly answered (I think the last action on that thread was back in April).

So, does anyone know how to programatically turn on the backlight?

(We all know how to keep it on once it's on, but turning it on programatically is something totally different).

Any hints or other ideas would be greatly appreciated...

Didn't the Pocket TV team come up with something? Maybe not.. I can't really remember - other than that, not as far as I know.

I think they concluded it wasnt programatically possible to turn the backlight on. This applies to the HTC handsets only though...(Compal is fine)

Yeah, in their thread, they didn't come to any big conclusion.. Thus the reason I brought the topic up again....

Ah, not that surprising... :)

I seem to remember hearing about other coders having issues...try checking out the ms.pub.sp.dev newsgroup.

Threat discussing the same question,

A search for a .reg file to be run at a phone to turn on backlight.
