How to Soft Reset a Device programatically

How to Soft Reset a Device programatically

• C.K. Chua

  Hi

  Call the Win32 API SetSystemPowerState to reset the device

  Declare the Function as folllowed:
  Const POWER_STATE_RESET As Integer = &H800000
  <DllImport("coredll")> _
  Private Shared Function SetSystemPowerState(ByVal psState As String, ByVal StateFlags As Integer, ByVal Options As Integer) As Integer
  End Function

  To Reset the Device call:
  SetSystemPowerState (Nothing, POWER_STATE_RESET, 0)

  This should work on any Windows Mobile 2003 and Windows Mobile 5.0 Devices.

  Thanks!
  Michael

  Hi
  You need do add an Imports statement at the very beginning of the file.

  Add the following line at the very beginning of your .vb file:
  Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
  
  Thanks!

  Thank you Michael, I got the Error "Type 'DllImport' is not defined". I changed the Library to "coredll.dll" but still got the Error. May be i missed something
  Sorry, I am a newbie.
