Chapter 13. System Information and Power Management

There are many different versions of the Windows CE operating system and platforms, so it is important that your application can determine the platform and version it is running on. Perhaps your application needs to execute a function that may or may not be present. Many of these Windows CE devices rely on battery power, so an application must be written to conserve power and also be able to monitor the current state of the battery. For example, if an application is going to initiate communications through a modem, it should determine if sufficient battery power is available.
