Power Applet does not get updated on wince-5.0

Hello,
On my custom board(imx31) based on wince-5.0 does not update the power
applet. It always shows charging. But in the BatteryThreadProc()
function in the battdrvr.c, I could find that the call to the function
BatteryAPIGetSystemPowerStatusEx2() returns the correct status of the
battery.That is it returns charging/not charing/external power etc.
correctly. But somehow the power applet is not getting updated. I have
commented out call to PowerPolicyNotify() when there is any change in
battery status since when I call this function it returns with error
that the "service has not been started". Does the call to
PowerPolicyNotify() required to updated the power applet? On my system
pm.dll is loaded and running. Could someone help me on this issue.

Thanks,
Shiju

Make sure your BatteryPDDGetStatus() reports
correctly "changed since last call" state ...

Hi,
Thanks. Yes, the fBatteriesChangedSinceLastCall is updated properly, but
in the "Power Properties" applet in the control panel, it is not getting
updated. How does the Power applet being updated by the battery driver?
Is there a specific function call that updates the power properties in
the applet?

Thanks
