system background scheduler?

[mdgarf]

Hi
I would like to create series of time dependent task/organization schedulers. It would be quite system demanding if each had background timer running all the time. So I was thinking 1 system background timer which would start scheduled application with command line options. Every time-dependent application could add alarm notice to start itself at certain time/date with desired command line options.

Is such system timer part of the windows/mobile already running?
Is it possible to create such program in basic4ppc effectively?
Thanks

Do you plan to use Hardware.RunAppAtTime?
If your device properly supports it (not all devices do) then it is possible to implement it with Basic4ppc.

Yes, I googled and apparently there is no other way. Problem is with command line parameters and one program is able to have only one alarm.

So registry entry or ini file will have to be used.

To cancel alarm just pass 0 time.

thanks for reply
