From: vishal.cs024 on 25 Jun 2008 19:19 Hi, I am not able to change wall paper in pocketpc and windows mobile 5.0 I am using below code, CopyFile(L"\\My Documents\\tdycust.jpg", L"\\windows\\tdycust.jpg", 0); WCHAR * str1 = L"\\windows\\tdycust.gif"; WCHAR * str2 = L"Wallpaper"; WCHAR * str3 = L"tdycust.gif"; DWORD dwDPI = 1; HKEY hKey; //write in register if(RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, L"Software\\Microsoft\\Today", 0, 0, &hKey) == ERROR_SUCCESS) { //RegDeleteValue(hKey, _T("UseStartImage")); RegSetValueEx(hKey, L"WallFile", 0, REG_SZ,(const BYTE*) str1, (_tcsclen(str1)+1)*2); RegSetValueEx(hKey, L"Wall", 0, REG_SZ,(const BYTE*) str2, (_tcsclen(str2)+1)*2); RegSetValueEx(hKey, L"Watermark", 0, REG_SZ,(const BYTE*) str3, (_tcsclen(str3)+1)*2); RegSetValueEx(hKey, L"Skin", 0, REG_SZ, 0, 0); RegSetValueEx(hKey, L"UseStartImage", 0, REG_DWORD,(const BYTE*) &dwDPI, sizeof(DWORD)); RegCloseKey(hKey); PostMessage(HWND_BROADCAST,WM_WININICHANGE, 0xF2, 0); } I checked the registry setting, it writes correctly, I guess many used the same code. even i tried using the code from the below link. http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/changetodaytheme.html didn't help. Please help me. Thanks Vishal
