    - Transparency on Bitmaps Hi all! I've done the class that follows to manage transparency on bitmaps. I do this to add the class to my form Me.PictureBox2 = New TransparentPictureBox Dim resources As System.Resources.ResourceManager = New System.Resources.ResourceManager(GetType(Form1)) Me.PictureBox2.Image = CType(Resources.GetObject("PictureBox1.Image"), System.Drawing.Image) Me.PictureBox2.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(116, 108) Me.PictureBox2.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(44, 28) PictureBox2.SetTranparentColor(Color.Black) Me.Controls.Add(PictureBox2) It works, but not very well :) The transparency does not show what there is under the picturebox, but it simply does not refresh (try to open the start-menu over the PB and then close it) Here is the class ------------------ Imports System.Drawing.Imaging Imports System.Drawing Public NotInheritable Class TransparentPictureBox Inherits PictureBox Dim attr As ImageAttributes Public Sub SetTranparentColor(ByVal color As Color) SetTranparentColors(color, color) End Sub Public Sub SetTranparentColors(ByVal lowColor As Color, ByVal hiColor As Color) attr = New ImageAttributes attr.SetColorKey(lowColor, hiColor) End Sub Public Function GetPixel(ByVal x As Int32, ByVal y As Int32) As Color Try Return DirectCast(Me.Image, Bitmap).GetPixel(x, y) Catch Return Color.Black End Try End Function Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Dim dstRect As New Rectangle(0, 0, MyBase.Width, MyBase.Height) Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics If attr Is Nothing Then g.DrawImage(Me.Image, 0, 0) Else g.DrawImage(Me.Image, dstRect, 0, 0, MyBase.Width, MyBase.Height, GraphicsUnit.Pixel, attr) End If End Sub End Class -- Math Parser : http://www.neodatatype.net FlowChart : http://www.neodatatype.net/dump/flowchart/dir.asp Tag: Picture.Image Tag: 27187

    - Calling CreateProcess repeatedly Is it ok to call CreateProcess(...) (from OpenNETCF.org WinAPI) repeatedly with the same application as argument. I am starting peghelp.exe from different forms (via a global class). I.e. what happens when I do this? Any good information I could read up on? The global method I use from different forms: public static void ShowHelp( string tag ) { OpenNETCF.WinAPI.Core.CreateProcess("peghelp.exe", tag); } regards, Peter Tag: Picture.Image Tag: 27186

    - Calling a stored procedure from 2 ppc's at the same time Hi, I've wrote a ppc app that connects to a sql server on a remote pc using RF connection. After I connect, in a certain moment in the application I call a stored procedure that run a DTS. This work just fine when I use one pocket pc. But when I bring up a second PPC, the troubles begins. First thing, when I'm running the stored procedure not at the same time from the two ppc's everything is ok. But when I simultaneously run the stored procedure one call goes well and the other gives an exception. I've also tried login in to the sql server, with the second ppc, with a different user Any help? Tomer. Tag: Picture.Image Tag: 27180

    - TextBox Undo query Hi all, I know that there has been numerous queries on textboxes in this NG over time and I did have a look at some of these using Google. However, I did not find anything that seemed to solve my problem. Scenario: - C# - CF SP2 - a number of TextBoxes on a form - when form loads all textboxes filled with default text - as user taps a textbox all of the text is selected and the caret is placed at the end of the text - tapping the ENTER key on the SIP moves the focus to the next textbox - each time a textbox loses focus, a validation method is called to check the input of that textbox The problem: With the SIP set for Letter Recognizer ready to write in text, it is sometimes easy to mis-hit the ENTER key and a dot (period) removes the text that was highlighted. Under these conditions, I would simply like to restore the text back to what was previously showing. Since the Letter Recognizer does not have immediate access to all the keys on the SIP, I thought I would simply add a button called Undo on the form. Theoretically, a tap on the Undo button would simply restore the text. However, what I found was that the LostFocus method is called before the Click method is called. Consequently, the LostFocus method fails on the bad input before my Undo button click event can restore the original text. Is there a way that in the LostFocus method that I can know which button was tapped causing the LostFocus? If I could test in the LostFocus method that it was my Undo button that was tapped that would be ideal. Or, is there a better method? BTW, I did try tapping Ctrl-Z when I re-selected the soft keyboard and the textbox was in focus but nothing happened. Regards, Neville Tag: Picture.Image Tag: 27174

    - DB to use instead of pocket access + forms navigation hi all, I have to convert an existing app from eVB to VB.net and I'm asking: what i have to do with the DB? i know that the "pocket access + ADOCE" solution is no longer supported (well, i don't want to use InTheHand because i'm looking for a free solution)... does this mean that i have necessarily to use SQL server CE? isn't there a lighter solution? i read on some group that "One possible replacement for Pocket Access would be the DataSet object in ADO.NET"... what does it mean? Do i have to create a local XML database? any help or suggestions? another topic: form navigation i read an article where MS suggest to use a form caching system and a form call stack... does anybody use this system? is it really useful to increase application performance? or do you use the old eVB trick with 1 real form = N frames as logical forms? thank you matteo gabella Tag: Picture.Image Tag: 27173

    - Shifting around forms. Actually, I am having this problem long time ago. It applies to both of my VB.NET programming and the Compact Framework. Like what we can do last time in VB6....instead of closing a form, we can temporarily hide a form and shift to another form. After that, we can get back to that old created form easily by asking it to show. However, this seems not to be the situation to me in .NET framework. I don't know how to refer back to a old created form instance. To create a new instance, I will: Dim frmTest as New frmTest frmTest.Show How about not to close an instance and to refer back to that instance? I am very grateful to someone out there who is willing to help me on this. Thank you. Tag: Picture.Image Tag: 27157

    - No DNS server Sorry if this is a repost, I don't think the first on sent. I have made a program that runs on a .net PocketPC that talks over a wireless network with a server running a program that is not written in .net. The program works fine here, but gives an error message of "No such host is known" at the customers location. I do not think they have a DNS server at their place. In csharp how do you connect with TCP to a server without causing a DNS lookup. Here is the code I am using now. Not that ServerAddr is a string containing the valid IPAddress of the server. socket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp); socket.Blocking = true; IPHostEntry IPHost = Dns.GetHostByAddress(IPAddress.Parse(ServerAddr)); string[] aliases = IPHost.Aliases; IPAddress[] addr = IPHost.AddressList; IPEndPoint ipepServer = new IPEndPoint(addr[0], Port); socket.Connect(ipepServer); I can give you the output of IPConfig run from the server if it will help. Also I can ping the server from the pocketPC so I know it can see it. Tag: Picture.Image Tag: 27130

    - Networks with no DNS I have written a .net program that runs on a pocketPC that talks wirelessly to a non .net program on a sever though sockets. The program works fine on our network here, but on the customers it gets an exception "No such host is known". I do not think their network has a DNS server. Here is code I use to connect. The string ServerAddr is the IP address of the server in string form. socket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp); socket.Blocking = true; IPHostEntry IPHost = Dns.GetHostByAddress(IPAddress.Parse(ServerAddr)); string[] aliases = IPHost.Aliases; IPAddress[] addr = IPHost.AddressList; IPEndPoint ipepServer = new IPEndPoint(addr[0], Port); socket.Connect(ipepServer); If it would help I could give you the results of IPConfig when run from the command line on the server. I can also ping the server from the PocketPC so I know that it can see the server. Tag: Picture.Image Tag: 27126

    - How to resize PictureBox image Does anyone know how to resize an image in a PictureBox? I have been able to resize an image using Graphics.DrawImage in OnPaint, but CF does not support the CreateGraphics method for a PictureBox. I can select SizeMode in a PictureBox and that handles the different mode requirements that I have, but CF does not support SizeMode for anything but a PictureBox. If I could get the image associated with the Graphics object after I draw it and then pass that to the PictureBox, that would suffice, but I can't seem to find how to do that either.

Obviously P/Invoking SHGetSpecialFolderPath won't do the trick because it doesn't return the Templates folder path. I have an app that uses templates and documents similar to pocke word so I want to implement the Pocket Word method of sticking templates to the templates folder and regular documents elsewhere, but I have yet to find a reliable way to determine if a folder is the official Templates folder.

    - What to Use? I have a large maintenance system running in paper mills. We are moving towards Pocket PCs for the collection of lubrication and inspection information of the equipment. I am a seasoned VB6 programmer and was wonder what should I use to develop these apps. I know that eVB is free but have heard it is dying and has problems. I have VB.Net standard but It does not appear to have any tools for Pocket PC development. First, is eVB a bad choice, and, what version of VB.net (or visual Studio) would I need to develop for pocket PC's? I have visual studio 6 enterprise. What version of VS.net (should/can) I get at a reasonable upgrade price? Thanks, Kim Dobranski > > Tag: Picture.Image Tag: 27089

    - Marshal function leaking memory Hi, I hope someone can help with this one. I'm using below function but it is leaking memory although an article on MSDN says it should not leak memory. Dim TopHandle As Integer TopHandle = GetForegroundWindow() Dim buffer() As Byte Dim buffersize As Integer = 250 Dim p As IntPtr = LocalAlloc(&H40, buffersize) GetWindowText(TopHandle, p, buffersize) Dim w As String // Take away below line and the memory leak is gone w = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.PtrToStringUni(p) LocalFree(p) The marshal function is causing the memory leak.

    - GetTotalMemory, GlobalMemoryStatus Hi Hopefully someone can help me clarify some memory issues and in particular the difference between GetTotalMemory & GlobalMemoryStatus... Apparently GetTotalMemory(false) retrieves the number of bytes currently thought to be allocated. I assume the bytes returned reflect only the managed bytes(objects) that *my* managed code has allocated, is that correct? In other words if I have PInvoke calls that allocate memory that would not be included, right? Is there anything else GetTotalMemory excludes that one would assume is included? I observe a large difference between what GetTotalMemory returns and what GlobalMemoryStatus reports (taking in account the memory used by the system. No other apps running). I am guessing this is because the GlobalMemoryStatus includes the JITed code as used memory whereas GetTotalMemory doesn't; is that correct? Still the discrepancy is large so there must be other factors that I am not aware of... For example when GetTotalMemory returns 446KB GlobalMemoryStatus (or indeed the memory control panel or even the remote system info from eVC) shows 9072KB. What extra bytes is it including? It seems even the simplest CF app (8KB exe) consumes over 1MB of memory. Is that right or is there some flaw in my approach? Also GC.Collect affect the results of GetTotalMemory but not the results of GlobalMemoryStatus... is that in line with your observations? Note that when the above results are observed, I then leave the unit/app running for at least 1 hour (in idle mode) and the results remain the same... I have also used the slider to effectively force a memory load of over 95%... Cheers Daniel Tag: Picture.Image Tag: 27086

    - OOM component, OutOfMemoryException Hi I have been experiencing the OOM dialog that CE throws up so I am trying to diagnose where the leak in my app is (assuming there is one)... The dialog pops up with the caption "Program Memory is Low". Then there are options to close a form down or "Convert some Storage Memory to Program Memory...". I understand this is the OOM component... I would like to handle this situation in my code rather than have the OS do it not only because that dialog actually goes beyond our (240x320) screen but because I would rather reset the unit (or restart the app) if a GC.Collect doesn't help at that point... So the questions are: 1. Has anybody else done this before? I understand that I will have remove the OOM component and then call SetOOMEvent (just changing the registry values had no effect)... I think I'll pass it a handle and 0s for the remaining 4 values.. Anybody see a problem with that? 2. Shouldn't I get an OutOfMemoryException when the low memory condition occurs? Replicating a low memory condition (using the memory slider) always results in the OOM dialog coming up and never an OutOfMemoryException. Could it be a case of the dialog popping up before the GC has a chance to collect the garbage? Cheers Daniel PS This is with CF 1.0 SP2 on own CE 4.2-based device Tag: Picture.Image Tag: 27085

    - Printing Invoices I've gone through every post I could find and have found 3 solutions, but none of them are working for me. The situation: My app will be used by field technicians to print service invoices out in the field. They will be printing to HP printers via IrDA. The problem is that I can't format and print my invoices. The first solution I found was FieldSoftware's PrinterCE tool, but my employer is a small pest control business and can't afford to buy this for me. It would work perfectly, as I could format the invoices properly, but it's not an option for me. The second solution I read about was creating an HTML document and somehow printing that. This would be great if someone could explain to me how I could print an HTML file. I found the HP Mobile Printer SDK, but it doesn't support printing HTML files. It only supports a handful of text/picture files and I don't know if I could even convert my HTML file to a format that the printer SDK could even use. Any ideas on this? The third solutions seems to be using PInvoke. I've never used it before, but I poked around have a general idea of how it works. It sounds like I'm supposed to use some methods in coredll.dll, but I can't figure out which ones. I can't even figure out what methods are in that file. Someone mentioned "dumpbin /all coredll.dll", but when I ran that I got an error that said I was missing mspdb71.dll, which Google knows nothing about. Is there a site somewhere that lists the members I could PInvoke in that file? Is that the file I'm even supposed to be using? Any help would be much appreciated. I've been spinning my wheels for several days now, going through forums and websites. Thanks in advance, Deadly_Bait Tag: Picture.Image Tag: 27083

    - Exceptions in exceptions in webservices Hey Cryptic subject, eh... In my webservice im doing code like this: try { //Some code that might generate an exception } catch { //Im logging all errors to a file here } On my PDA im doing code like this: try { //Calling my webservice here } catch { if the webservice fails the user gets a message and i can see the error in the log file } Now, my question is. What happens if writing to my logfile fails? What i would like to happen is that i can tell the user to contact me, so that i can take action on the issues. Since the logfile is my only way to see that errors has been generated its very important that i can see the errors. So i have tried to make a try catch block inside the catch in the webservice. That should raise an exception if writing to the log file fails. But even though it probably does that, all i can see on my PDA is the same error as when i just wrote to the logfile without using a try catch for that. Am i misunderstanding this?? -- Jimmy Tag: Picture.Image Tag: 27069

    - how to create a VB/C# CF helper dll Hi, I program in eVB 3.0 and Pocket PowerBuilder for WinCE devices. I started looking into the CF using VB/C# recently in order to create some a DLL that does some simple things like memory available, battery status, get handheld name, uniques ID, ... I have found many example of how to implement these APIs and have a working VB.net executable. What I would like to do is create a class library (DLL) that would expose these methods to another application. My problem is I don't think I'm doing it properly. I have created a VB.net Class library project, (see below) which compiles fine, and I have created public functions for a couple methods I want exposed. Ideally, I would like to access these methods like a standard API call. I would declare the function as coming from this DLL I wrote with a return of a particalur type. Can this be done? I couldn't find any information on how to explicitly expose the methods other than making their definitions Public. The DLL does not appear to get registered in HKCR to expose the class "Support". Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bob Public Class Support <System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("coredll.dll", _ SetLastError:=False)> _ Public Shared Sub GlobalMemoryStatus(ByRef ms As MEMORY_STATUS) End Sub <System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("coredll.dll", _ SetLastError:=False)> _ Public Shared Function GetSystemPowerStatusEx(ByRef lpSystemPowerStatus As SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS) As Int32 End Function Public Function Get_Battery_Percent_Remaining() As Int16 Dim p As New SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS GetSystemPowerStatusEx(p) Return CInt(p.BatteryPercent) End Function Public Function Get_Memory_Total() As String Dim p As New MEMORY_STATUS GlobalMemoryStatus(p) Return p.dwTotalPhys.ToString() End Function Public Function Get_Memory_Available() As String Dim p As New MEMORY_STATUS GlobalMemoryStatus(p) Return p.dwAvailPhys.ToString() End Function Public Structure SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS Public ACLineStatus As Byte Public BatteryFlag As Byte Public BatteryPercent As Byte Public Reserved1 As Byte Public BatteryLifeTime As Int32 Public BatteryFullTime As Int32 Public Reserved2 As Byte Public BackupBatteryFlag As Byte Public BackupBatteryPercent As Byte Public Reserved3 As Byte Public BackupBatteryLifeTime As Int32 Public BackupBatteryFullTime As Int32 End Structure Public Structure MEMORY_STATUS Public dwLength As UInt32 Public dwMemoryLoad As UInt32 Public dwTotalPhys As UInt32 Public dwAvailPhys As UInt32 Public dwTotalPageFile As UInt32 Public dwAvailPageFile As UInt32 Public dwTotalVirtual As UInt32 Public dwAvailVirtual As UInt32 End Structure End Class Tag: Picture.Image Tag: 27058

    - class to class Hey I was under the impression that it was possible to return an object of a class from a webservice, and then assign it to an instance of the same object on the PDA program receiving the returned object. Example webservice: namespace WS { [WebService(Namespace=http://whatever)] public class WS : System.Web.Services.WebService { retClass retObj = new retClass(); ... ... ... [WebMethod] public retClass Get_Value(){ ... ... ... retObj.retInt = some value; retObj.retString = "some string" retObj.retDS = some dataset; return retObj; } } public class retClass { public int retInt = 0; public string retString = ""; public DataSet retDS = null; } } And the following is my PDA app.: { public class retClass { public int retInt = 0; public string retString = ""; public DataSet retDS = null; } mainclass{ WS ws = new WS(); retClass retObj = new retClass(); retObj = ws.Get_Value(); //This is where VS tells me that it cant convert ws.Get_Value() into a retObj } } Well i left some code out (guess you allready figured out). Ok, what is going wrong? Why cant i do this? -- Jimmy Tag: Picture.Image Tag: 27044

    - Enable SIP without having a mainmenu or taskbar Hi @ all, after reading a lot of stuff, I couldn't find a solution. I have an application, written in VB.NET, which needs to run in kiosk mode without any tasbar, main menu or something else. As it is an application, where data has to be entered, I really need a small keyboard, which could be activated if needed. Does anybody know how to split the SIP from being dependent on a menu/taskbar? Does anybody know another possible solution like a keyboard-control?

    - Help needed with SQL CE Ok, first of all I'd like to know if this statement is true : The basic integer data type can handle data values ranging from -2,147,483,638 through 2,147,483,647 in SQL i mean... And is there some limit in the number of rows in a CE database ??? Because i'm trying to read in a database which has 2 tables. One with 4 columns and like 80 rows, the second has 4 columns and about 39000 rows. When I try to fill the databse I get the following error : System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeError : The data is truncated so I guess or that i'm using too big of a number to be contained in the int field, or I'm using too big of a string in the nvarchar field ??? So what is bigger than int in SQL ??? Thought I saw bigint somewhere but I just cant seem to find it :( thanx... Tag: Picture.Image Tag: 27031

    - General access to Windows Directories on PPC, C# Hi all, During installation of my PPC app (C#), I install a custom font file (TTF) into the \Windows\Fonts directory on the PPC. This is achieved in the .INF file by specifying its location as %CE15%, a macro string. However, in my C# code, I hard-code this path in one of my global strings, as follows: public static string strFontPath = @"\Windows\Fonts\"; I have now found that international versions of Windows do not use the English name "Fonts" as a folder name. Are there macro-like strings in C# that I can use to access the specific Font folder without the need to hard-code it? Or is there a more "international" standard of accessing these folders without knowing the local language? In fact, this question will apply to all sub-folders under \Windows. I understand that the word "Windows" is used as a folder for all languages but I am not 100% sure of this. Regards, Neville Lang Tag: Picture.Image Tag: 27024

    - Bridge between eVC++ and .NET Framework I'm working first time in eVC++ while my partner is working in C# .NET. He created some methods to access SQL CE Server, and I wrote an Today Screen Application. I need to call those methods, to get data to show in Today Screen Item. I saw some articles talking about COM interop, but always between .NET and Visual C++, not embedded VC++. My teacher said, maybe the only way is using sockets. It is possible to do that? If it is, how. Or, if is possible more than one, how (or what) is the easiest way to do that. My project ends at 28th May, so thats why the hurry.

Can someone point me to an example that uses a PictureBox and loads a
picture into it dynamically at run time?

I would have the picture located in a subdirectory of the project called
Images so something like:

pictureBox1.Image = new Bitmap(getAppPath + "Images\blah.gif");

Thanks
