Hi, You can use either ::keybd_event(VK_F24, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP | KEYEVENTF_SILENT, 0) or SystemIdleTimerReset() or both. I'd suggest that you use them with a timer, or if that's not possible, sprinkled here and there in your 'loading process'. I normally use those in combination with GetSystemPowerStatusEx so I can allow the device to suspend if it's running low on power. I've noticed that my users dont like it when their PDA's hard reset due to no power ;P Jonas “Our solar system is Jupiter and a bunch of junk” - Charley Lineweaver 2002

Yep, but I cannot do that: I have a huge library that was developed on desktop environment and I want to reuse it (rewrite everything will take me really too much time) and I need to be compatible with the file format from my desktop computer (they need to understand each other). So, I have no choice: I will need to use ANSI string and convert them to UNICODE when they are not supported :( ! But I think I'll find a way out ;) ! João Paulo Figueira wrote: Is it working, now? Yes, it is :)! Anyway, thanks ;)

Thank you Jonas: You're right, the variable is a local one and it's destroyed. I didn't realize before because these functions are adaptations of a previous one in which the returned variable was a member variable. Thus the m_string.c_str() was not destroyed after exiting. Sometimes, trees don't let you see the forest .... that's what happened this time. My solution finally has been adding a member variable that is the one returned. m_sText.clear(); m_sText.append(s); return m_sText.c_str();

Hi, thanks for suggestion. I replaced *((int*)temp->data)=SomeValue; by a memcpy and the bug disapeared !! Thanks a lot :) :)

wow. great job. That info was really useful. But considering that Im am kinda of new to the subject...I still have a couple of questions: What Im trying to do is create an application (or if you know where I can find one) that reads from a GSM modem or a phone conected to one of my serial ports. I need the application to have a routine where it reads the SMS from the phone, saves the information into a Database, and erases these SMS. I also need to be able to send messages depending on the information saved into my database. From what I understand, your application reads the information from the phone...but does it have a way of procesing it?? X-ZD Designs

Go to the registry and look for this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ExtModems\BtDialupModem Under it, you will find a Port value. This is the file name you must use when communicating with your phone. In my case it reads BTC1:
