Changing to and from Silent Profile

| Has anyone figured out how to do this?
My application notifies the user that they are in Silent mode and asks
them if they would like to turn off Silent mode. If they answer 'yes',
the registry setting for the profile is changed from 'Silent' to
'Normal'. However, this does not fully take the phone out of silent
mode. When the phone is returned to the home screen, it still shows
the vibrate icon and I cannot hear the key press clicks.
I have messed around with the SendMessageTimeout and SendMessage
functions with a HWND_BROADCAST and a WM_SETTINGCHANGE, but still no
luck. Somehow I need to tell the OS that the 'Silent' mode has been
changed to 'Normal'
The application requires sound and so simply running the application
without sound is not an option.

| You can try to use Registry CSP
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...strycspozup.asp
to change the active profile since ActiveProfiler is documented there.
However, it is possible the system won't get notified automatically even if
you use this CSP.
As a workaround you can reboot the device or simulate button clicks to
change the profiler using the standard profile UI.

Sam and I are working fairly closely with the manufacturer. A third party wrote
a dll that looks like it is accessing a COM API to do the change/notification
for us. I think the interface was "ITPCProfiles” referenced from
“iprofiles.h”, but I don't know anything further, like if it is a standard
part of the smartphone internals.
