Today-PlugIn

[MBaas]

Hi,

I would like to write a plugin for the Today-Screen. I'm relatively new to the PPC Platform as well and probably haven't yet found all the URL's you need. What I found so far was an MSDN-Article about writing such a plug-in in C++. I'd rather do it in eVB - is that possible? Are there any sample projects/frameworks out there that I could use?

Tx

It's not possible in eVB, but can anyone tell me if it's possible with C# yet? :D

Its not possible in C# alone because a today screen plugin uses callback which are not supported in the compact framework. You could certainly write a module in C++ which exposed functions you could call into from c# to modify appearance etc. Or you could probably communicate with a C++ from .NET code using windows messages. The compact Framework includes a messagewindow component to allow this. However I have not tried any of this but in theory.... :wink:
