Hail all!
I want to display notification and
play custom sound on my Windows Mobile 5/6 device.
I have tried something like that, but my custom sound does not
play, though message is displayed with standart sound.
If i edit Wave key in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications{15F11F90-8A5F-454c-89FC-BA9B7AAB0CAD}] to sound file i need then it plays okay.
But why there are flag NotificationAction.Sound and property UserNotification.Sound? It doesn't work. Also Vibration and Led don't work, if i use such flags.
