Chris Percival mentioned another approach that might work. Here's some more
details:
Chars.h defines the following character:
#define vchrHardCradle 0x0209 // Button on cradle pressed
This character can be sent in a keyDownEvent using the EvtAddEventToQueue().
My guess is that this would simulate the user pressing the cradle button,
which is generally configured to do a local hotsync (though the user can
change this behavior).
