Hello Palm Folks!
I have not found a way to detect when the user toggles the back light
under OS 3.1.
Under OS 3.5, I get a vchrBacklight (or vchrContrast, etc, etc).
Under OS 3.1, it seems like my app receives no events on the subject.
Is this correct? Has anyone found an indirect way to detect this?
(As an example of an indirect method, the way I detect that the device
has powered on under OS 3.1 (in lieu of vchrPowerOff and vchrLateWakeup)
is to note when I get a vchrHardPower, and then periodically check
KeyCurrentState() for when the power key clears. [I could detect it
sooner, of course, but this was more compatible with my event loop])
Thanks much, OS 3.1 Gurus!
(There's an odd satisfaction one gets from porting to older OS versions
that doesn't come with porting to later OS versions...)
