When the user goes into Regiional Settings and changes the date format, it's
my understanding that the OS sends a WM_SETTINGCHANGE message to top-level
windows.

Does anyone know of a way for a CF application to intercept this message, or
otherwise get the notification?

Implement an IMessageFilter.

Create a class that inherits from Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.MessageWindow.
You can then override the WinProc method and capture and process events.
