Is there a way to reprogram the power button to turn off the backlight on a single press and turn off the device if you hold it down. This is the reverse normal operation of pressing the power button for a long time to turn off the screen and pressing the button once to turn it on/off.

Anyone?

Do you mean is there an app to do this, or are you a developer trying to make an app do this? I will assume the latter. I have been trying very hard to do this myself (not the exact same thing, but similar). I think the only way to do it is to set a key hook. The problem with this method is that win CE 5.0 only supports one key hook. I discovered this when my app worked in the emulator but failed on my device. It turned out that PQZII had set a hook, therefore my app could not. If you are still interested in this method, here are some links:

Good luck.
