How can i debug a today plug-in dll?

i have created my dll, and registered it according to the instructions
here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/guide_ppc/html/ppc_programming_pocket_pc_2002_drtw.asp

the problem is, it is not showing up. I have gone to the Today settings
dialogue, added/removed it, i've tried soft-resetting...nothing.

So i'm am not sure what's going on here...is there a way to debug and
put a breakpoint in the DLL Main to see if it's being loaded?

thanks

No, you cannot debug a Today plug-in using eVC. There are a couple of
options:
1. Use a program that emulates Today screen and loads your plug-in
2. Use logging (e. g. http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/stlogfile.html)

thank you,
i have been using the stlogfile. i've also been able to debug after
the pluggin is loaded by attaching to shell32.exe. I noticed after
doing this that i can handle WM_LBUTTONDOWN, but not WM_KEYDOWN on the
today screen? is this correct?
