Hi Taximania:
So I got it to work with the timer, thanks to you and agraham.
But, I think whatever parameter you're reading works differently on my phone. Essentially, it looks like all it's doing is monitoring how many bars are showing on my regular signal strength meter at the top of the screen.
All I get is values of 34, 66, and 94 which appear to correspond to the 2, 3, and 4 bars on my regular signal strength meter at the top. It also only updates when the bar meter changes, which is much less often than the 500 msec of the timer.
This confirms my suspicion that it's simply reading the bar value, especially since there are never any values in between the ones I noted above.
Any ideas on this? I'm wondering what you meant when you said
"I'm using the WN6 windowsmobile. etc etc etc dll's"
Could you tell me what these are?
Is their some other parameter that could be monitored with your dll that would show the actual continuous change in strength, like what is available in the field service screen?
I'm using this to peak my external yagi antenna as I cruise up and down the Pacific coast on my sailboat, and I need to be able to see it in big fonts from a distance. That big font part is working great, but I need more 'granularity' than what the bar meter yields.
Tks, AB
Thanks, AB
