The SideShow API is used to display SideShow gadgets from a Windows Vista computer on a Windows Embedded CE powered device. This section describes the programming elements provided in the SideShow API that allow your application to display a gadget using data sent from the Windows Vista computer.
When an application on the device interacts with SideShow data, the application registers with the SideShow service by using the SideShowMgr_Start function; the service sends messages to the application as events arise. The application can then use the remainder of the SideShow Manager API to interact with the SideShow service layer.
