For the record, the best way to modify the auto-off duration is by using the
SysSetAutoOffTime function. To turn it off while your program is running, do
the following:
[code]
// global variable
UInt16 uOldAutoOffTime;
static Err AppStart(void)
{
uOldAutoOffTime = SysSetAutoOffTime(0);
FrmGotoForm(MainForm);
return errNone;
}
static void AppStop(void)
{
SysSetAutoOffTime(uOldAutoOffTime);
// Close all the open forms.
FrmCloseAllForms();
}
[/code]

don't worry guys, the user wants to let the app playing.
EvtResetAutoOffTimer seems to work perfectly.
Thanks to all, chr
