Compact Framework to win32 Today Screen component

Hi All,

Does anyone know if it is possible for a .NET CF application to
communicate with a today screen plugin written in C++/win32? Since it is
not currently possible to write a Compact Framework application for the
Today Screen I was trying to think of a work-around. One thought was to
create an empty shell of a today plugin that would accept data from a
.NET CF application (via interop) for display. Before I even go down
this route. Is it even possible? Thanks!

Crabby,

You'd have to launch the CF app and have it write something where you could
get it (registry, file, etc.) since you can't just call a function in a CF
app from a managed one.
