Capturing battery temp

[Adam Davis]

Hello there, I know many programs can display the battery temp from my dell
axim 51v however I'm writing a program in visual studio 2005, for the smart
device with vb and so far I've had no luck.

I've seen that

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms941842.aspx

The SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS_EX2 structure holds a BatteryTemperature field.

I've been looking at examples on the internet and tried to create an example
but it doesnt work, it consist of a timer and a text field, I'm wanting it to
simply display and update the battery temp in a text field.

You can see what I've attempted here;

Anyone any ideas how I can simply grab the battery temp?

So what part is the problem? The call doesn't work or your code for
displaying the data is wrong?

Sounded like he's not getting the data back properly. Of course
you can't display afterward.
