Can we lock screen in Windows Phone 7 or 7.1 emulator?

Question

I am writing some Windows phone APPs on VS2010 (WP7.1 SDK) and intend to use the lock screen function. As I know, we can press 'F12' to lock screen on WP8 emulator. I don't know whether we can lock the screen on WP7 or WP7.1 emulator. I am looking forward to your reply. Thank you.

Answer 1

I hope, Win phone 7.0 emulator it is not possible.

Win Phone 7.1 emulator it is possible: Here is MSDN link about that http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj662945%28v=vs.105%29.aspx

In that above link they put Windows Phone OS 7.1 it the list (at top).

Answer 2

Unfortunately in the emulator that comes with VS2010 this is not possible.

But you can develop for WP7.1 in VS2012 and use the emulator from VS2012 that supports locking the screen.
