Hello developers,

I try to change the backlight by modifying the registry (HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight) and afterwards sending the event "BackLightChangeEvent".

However nothing happens on my Diamond - I know this is hardware dependend but is there a (general) way to change the backlight level?

I know it has to work because I tested some application who are able to control the backlight level and they work on this device...

or am I doing something wrong?

he = CreateEvent (0,0,0,L"BackLightChangeEvent");
if (he) {SetEvent (he); CloseHandle(he); }

Thanks in advance!

I'm sorry I can't help, however would you be as kind as to name the applications you tested that successfully modified the backlight? (E.g.
spb pocket plus is unable to control backlight on the diamond).

Thank you.
