How to change windows mobile homescreen programmatically

Question

Does anyone know if it is possible to change homescreen.

I have a setup that installs all necessary xml files and Homescreen plugins, but I don’t know how to change Homescreen to mine during installation (and remove it during uninstallation)

Answer 1

For smartphone devices you can use provisioning xml. If you include the provisioning xml in your cab file as "post-xml" then uninstallation should be handled automatically. Alternatively you could process the provisioning xml yourself using the DMProcessConfigXML API inside a custom setup dll. Check out the following MSDN links for more details.
