Power detection

[RobVanBrunschot]

Hello,

Can anyone help me on how to detect in my program when the power is connected via USB in my car with 12V.
When connected to my computer I can check the registry for the 'cradled' value but when in my car it does not work.

I have searched the internet for a solution but found nothing.

I hop some one can hep me.

Rob

Look for PowerBatteryState in the demo for my http://www.b4x.com/forum/additional-libraries/3346-systemstate-library-wm-5-0-later.html. That status is definitely present and works on WM6.0 but I can't find a definitive statement on MSDN as to whether it is present on WM5.0 - I think maybe not but I don't have a WM5.0 device to test it on.

PowerBatteryState does work for WM5 with out problems.

I have also written a library
http://www.b4x.com/forum/additional-libraries/4686-powernotify-beta.html that might be useful.

If all your looking for is the battery state them SystemState is probably a better choice.
Mine has alot more information going through the events.
