Locking / Unlocking Device

Hello,

I'm trying to lock and unlock the device (Screen, Button) using the same
integrated mechanism that the default lock and lock by a passcode integrated
in the phone.

Any idea how to do that? Any P/Invoke?

Thx

Hello Cedric

Idont remember the exact key, but sending vk_f22 or vk_f24 should lock your
device. There is also an API call (something like shLockDevice) but this is
not implented on all WM5 devices.

Thanks, my Target is a WM6.1 (HTC Diamond) so, I could try the API

Any idea how to unlock?

Hello Cedric

although you can use the vk_ solution or the api to lock the device, you
cannot unlock the device programatically.
If you call the API or send the lock key value a second time the unlock
screen appears and a human can unlock the device.
Maybe you can simulate screen taps and so unlock the device.
