Is it possible to change the screen orientation programmatically from a form page's onload event?  I'm trying to create a work around to the long lag time starting the windows mobile camera as discussed in other (old version) forums.  When I open my photo page, I'd like to trigger the screen orientation to rotate to landscape, then rotate it back on unload.

Did you ever find a solution for this?
Seems the problem is still valid with Juno SB and ArcPad 10!

The only solution I found was to assign the screen rotation to one of the Juno buttons, and make sure to remember to press the button before activating the camera.  Far from ideal for sure.  I've had the rotation assigned to the "mail" button, but find it tends to get accidentally pushed quite often, the "windows" button might work better.
