Customizing SettingsPage

The out-of-the-box mobile application for Windows Mobile provides a SettingsPage that you can access through Menu > Settings on SelectTaskPage. This is where configurations for the mobile application are stored. For example, you can configure Global Positioning System (GPS) settings (com port, baudrate), specify data collection parameters, or have the interval for the application post updates back to the server.

If you build a Task or ProjectExtension that's customizable by your user, you can add a new ActionItem to the SettingsPage and link to the user interface (UI) for customization.

To add a new setting ActionItem to the SettingsPage, listen to the SettingsPage.CreatingActionItems event. This event is fired when it generates a list of ActionItems on the SettingsPage. It generates an ActionItemEventArgs.ActionItems list where you add the ActionItem.
