I have 2 queries in Windows mobile.
1. Is there any API available to open the sound and notifications settings
with "Notifications" tab as the selected tab? By default it opens with
"Sounds" tab as the selected tab. Or is it possible to open the
"Notifications" separately in a window?

2. Is there any API available to open the "Clock & Alarm" settings with
"Alarm" tab as the selected tab? By default it opens with "Time" tab as the
selected tab. Or is it possible to open the "Alarm" separately in a window?

Please let me know

This article shows how to open specific pages, the identifiers are still
valid here but there have been some newer pages and applets added since.

Thanks a lot!
I tried CreateProcess, with ctlpnl.exe with the corresponding parameters.
For most of the settings it worked. But I am still not able to open "Alarm".
I am using WM 6.1 device. I am using 16 and 1 as command line parameter for
ctlpnl.exe. Any idea why Alarm is not working?

Thanks
Sri

The appstate also needs to be updated in binary. To get the binary value of
11, 18 has to be updated.
Following code should
RAppRunKey = RAppRunKey.OpenSubKey(@"Software\Microsoft\Clock", true);
if (RAppRunKey != null)
{
RAppRunKey.SetValue(@"AppState", new byte[] { 18 }, RegistryValueKind.Binary);
}
ProcessInfo pi = new ProcessInfo();
bool result = CreateProcess("ctlpnl.exe", "cplmain.cpl,16,1", IntPtr.Zero,
IntPtr.Zero, false, 0, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, null, pi);
