    - Disabing Word Completion I am looking for a way to simply disable word completion for an edit field, other than switching it off for the complete Pocket PC. We have a "combo box like" user control that needs to pick up the arrow keys in the KeyDown event to move up and down a listbox. When the user types more than 2 characters I get VK_PROCESSKEY, which I assume means that the arrow keys are going to the word completion control. I have subclassed the edit control to get the VK_RETURN, is my only option to also use this and see if I get VK_KEYDOWN, etc, there. Something along the lines of TextBox.WordCompletion = false would be nice. Thanks for any help, Peter Tag: Update text file real time Tag: 75935

    - Perf Monitor CF2 SP1 Hi! I've some trouble connecting to my device using this tool. I've followed Steve P's blog http://blogs.msdn.com/stevenpr/archive/2006/04/17/577636.aspx Running a PocketPC 2003 SE with CF2 SP1 installed. ActiveSync 4.1.0 (Syncronization is completed) I've copied netcfrtl.dll and netcflaunch.exe to windows dir on device. I've started netcfrpm.exe and clicked Live Counters... But the status bar at the bottom right side says Disconnected, and there are no selectable devices in the Device drop box (as it should be automatically when using ActiveSync according to previously mentioned blog). Has anyone else experienced this? I've tried soft-resetting the device and restarted my computer... Thanks in advance! / Peter Tag: Update text file real time Tag: 75934

    - Problem in Bitmap button Hi Platform: using VS2005 C# for WM5.0 base PDA I am making one Bitmap button(owner draw). What i have done is i am drawing image on the button in onPaint() using e.drawimage ; I am also taking care that my bit map becomes transparent(all corners) . For the same i am using ImageAttributes attr = new ImageAttributes() attr.SetColorKey(bmp.GetPixel(0,0), bmp.GetPixel(0,0)); In this case all the corners of my bitmap are becoming transparent and showing same color(red color) which is my background color.(Here back ground is my application's main form which is having back color = red) . Till this point every thing is ok . My problem is " if i load an image on the main form " . In that case above bitmap buttons are still showing red color corner ...?? which is correct only in above case, but in this case when an image is loaded on the main form ,Bit map corners should display color of images which is loaded on the form,but it is still showing Red corner (which is the back color of main form.) How can i get rid of this problem .. Please suggest ... Regards Manish Budhia Tag: Update text file real time Tag: 75929

    - Empty XmlElements creating new line!? Hi, I am having a strange problem that is probably very easy to correct. I am changing some text of an XmlNode that has some data, to "". The original line in the file looks like: <Movement_Date>26/10/2006</Movement_Date> When I set aNode.InnerXml = "" I would expect: <Movement_Date /> but instead I get: <Movement_Date> </Movement_Date> later when this is read by a different program, it picks up the carriage return, and not null data, and therefore generates an error. I have also tried aNode.InnerXml = string.Empty and aNode.RemoveAll(); with the same results. I assume it is just a setting somewhere, but I can't find where?

If I go to Control Panel and Certificate and try to import the certificate (root.cer file) it does not show any error messages but my certificate does not appear in the list of installed certificates. I have tried the different types for importing but nothing happens. I tried an https connection to my server but it failed due to the lack of a certificate. Could there be something with my root certificate or is there a bug in the certificate import function on my device? I have spent way to much time struggling with this issue.

    - Running CF 2.0 code on a development PC While trying to hunt down an Outof MemoryException on our cf 1.0 device, I decided to try using using the limited tools at my disposal to little effect. I then upgraded to VS 2005 and converted the project to CF 2.0. What I found was that I could compile for CEPC x86 and then use a regular .NET profiling/memory tool (ANTS) to profile the application. OF coulse I run into a big snag when coredll.dll can not be found, along with any other dll that was p/invoked from the CF library. Am I wasting my time by going in and finding the proper dll's to import so that I can use a memory profiler, or is there a simpler solution to all this?

    - VS 2005, WinCE 5.0, debug ethernet, activesync - explosion mix! Hello to all NG, i've this problem. I'm developing a .NET CF 2.0 application running on x86 WinCE 5.0 CEPC device (I builded the CEPC image myself). X86 hasn't USB client, so I can't attach x86 board to development workstation using USB cable/Activesync. The only way is to use a serial cable over Activesync (very low speed connection) or use ethernet lan card. On WinCE lan card is working propelly, I can ping, copy data over network, web surfing etc, the only problem I have is with VS2005. Under men=F9 Tools/Options/Device tools/Devices I've cloned a standard "Windows CE 5.0 Device" profile to a new "Windows CE 5.0 Device via TCP/IP" profile, changed the Transport to "TCP Connect Transport" (without check Use fixed port number, and using specific IP address - 10.0.0.2 -> the WinCE lan card IP address), and as Bootstrapper "Activesync Startup Provider" (the only choose I've in the combo). When I run application I can see that .exe file and dipendences are quickly downloaded to WinCE PC (I can see under \Program Files the new created folder) but the VS IDE hangs for about 15 seconds (any button or menu responds to mouse click..), then all restart working and on WinCE device application is displayed. Using SysInternals TCPView (freeware, thanks to the author!!) I can see that there are always (also during design-time) 4 processes devenv.exe connected to ports 5655 (2), 6510 (2) cepc device (cepc seems to be the DNS name of WinCE Device); connection state is always ESTABLISHED. When I run application and deploy starts I can see that a new connection is created between development PC and a "new" endpoint, wich has IP address 169.254.126.85, using destination port 6511. 169.254.126.85 is the IP address that VMINI1 virtual ethernet adapter card takes when WinCE starts on x86 device. In fact running "ipconfig /all" on WiCE device I get that IP associated to "VMINI1" adapter. TCPView shows that connection in SYN_SENT state for 15 seconds, then that connection hides and 2 new connections, always from devenv.exe, to cepc:6511 are created and in less than 1 ms the application become visibile on WinCE. So, VS2005 seems to wait for a response from VMINI1 adapter (that I think it will be used when connecting a CE 5.0 device via USB Activesync), waiting for some packets from 169.254.126.85 device. However, network 169.254.126.0 isn't reachable from development PC and after a timeout of 15 seconds devenv.exe bypass and starts a new connection via ethernet using original cepc IP address (10.0.0.2) using destination port 6511. What do you think about? This is the configuration: Development PC: VS 2005 2 ethernet cards: - 192.168.100.50 connected to the company network - 10.0.0.1 connected via cross cable to WinCE device WinCE PC x86 with rtl8139 ethernet adapter 10.0.0.2 IP address on PCI\RTL81391 adapter 169.254.126.85 IP address on VMINI1 virtual adapter conmanclient2.exe / CMAccept.exe are running.

    - CF.NET Code Profiler Yes, so the Remote Performance Monitor tool for SP1 of CF.NET 2.0 is cool, but the numbers it produces are useful when you have established a baseline for your application or applications. What would be wonderful is an execution profiler that can work side by side so that we can see which PARTS of the code are generating lots of GC activity, heap allocation, etc. RPM is hard to use in the case of a big, complex application with lots of methods and properties! Are we still woefully limited to only the RPM or have some of the many many .NET profilers "seen the light" and begun to work with CF.NET? Tag: Update text file real time Tag: 75850

    - Dynamic assembly loading -- Warning Message (unknown publisher) When I dynamically load an assembly in our WM app, a real device will display a warning message like follows: "Starting this program requires a component from an unknown publisher. You should start the program only if you trust the component's publisher. Do you want to continue?" What's the proper way to handle this message, and is there a way to disable this message?

    - Getting the "My Device" string Hi, I'd like to know how can I get the display name of the device? I need to build a "FileDialog" windows (custom look & feel, not the one provided by the standard shell) and when I build the folder list, I need to put the "My Device" item at the beginning of the list. I could hard-code the name, but my device uses the MUI and many languages. This item is translated in many languages, so I need to get the real display name of the device, as displayed on the desktop (device icon).

    - Using VS2005 to build/debug C# for 4.x .NET devices Hi, I've just got VS2005 so I can compile for Windows Mobile 5.0 now. But now I can also start writing C# smartdevice applications but only ppc2003 and Windows Mobile 5.0 are mentioned. How to create applications in C# VS2005 for devices still running CE 4.1 and CE 4.2. I've tried to to deploy to one but the CF cab send to the device was the WM5.0 version. I've got a book .Net compact framework programming in C# from Paul Yau and David Durant but that one is based on VS2003 for creating projects. Another question: currently I have one common source for 3 differrent project files VC 6.0, eVC3.0 and eVC4.0. Will this trick still work with VS2005 C# sources? (so 2 different project: a smartdevice and a pc one) Any help is appreciated. Regards Laery Tag: Update text file real time Tag: 75830

    - Help me on system slowing down on plotting as 1hz signal! I have a Windows Form application written in C# on CF in a system with WindowsCE operating System. The application shows a plot of a signal (now an int randomly generated). It updates this plot on a Panel every second. After a hundred seconds the system slows down and the form became not responsive. I think it is not a memory problem because I'm showing the used memory with GC.GetTotalMemory(false) and it is not near filling. In the constructor initialization I hook the handler to the timer event i added with the project editor timerMain.Tick += new EventHandler(TimerEventProcessor); private void TimerEventProcessor(Object myObject, EventArgs myEventArgs) { // 1: generate new number // 2: add new number to a List of points of the Panel // 3: call invalidate on the Panel } In the OnPaint of the panel I have all the drawing (a set of DrawLine from point to point) What should I look?

    - Overflow while converting into Datetime Hi, I'm getting an xml from a webservice and write it to my database. As long as I have the field defined as money everything works fine except that it is necessary to divide the price by 10000. Since the original field from the Visual FoxPro webservice is numeric(9,3) I've created the PocketSQL table with numeric(9,3) but now I'm getting the following error: Overflow while converting into datetime. What the hell is he doing? There is no Datetime field at all. -- --- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Yours sincerely , Michael Kugler Compunited Inh.: Michael Kugler Hasellohweg 19 90766 Fürth Germany Tel +49(911)1327142 Fax +49(911)1327143 Cell Phone +49(162)2656942 Tag: Update text file real time Tag: 75820

    - popup dialog on CE 5.0 I have a web app that is constantly listening to "Instant messages" in the background. Call it Messenger.aspx. When it does receive a message, I need to pop up that message and that window should be appearing on top of all the other apps that are currently running. (say popupdialog). E.g: If I am in the Outlook app, readying my emails - I need the popupdialog to appear to me on the Outlook app. Messenger.aspx should display a window, popupdialog (with yes/no buttons). All this should happen on the PDA device. running CE 5.0. 1. I am trying to use showModelessDialog function in the javascript. That sometimes it appears in the front and sometimes it is in the background. Is there any reliable way to display a dialog box, that will always appear on top of the other active windows? 2. Even if the above works, it only works on the desktop. It doesn't show up on my PDA. Any thoughts on how we can implement this? Tag: Update text file real time Tag: 75805

    - WebBrowser - Visual Studio 2003 Howdy all, I=B4d like to know if it=B4s possible to develop and work with a WebBroser inside my application. The intention is to develop a static file with some dynamic texts. The customer will read this page using a web browser (like Internet Explorer) and cannot go out of the application; for example, open a browser, close and return to the application. The main idea is show a page constructed during running time. I=B4m using MS Visual Studio 2003 for the development. I found this link on the web: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229657.aspx But the problem is that I don=B4t know if it will work with MS Visual Studio 2003, since the class WebBrowser don=B4t work in the System.Windows.Form namespace.

Hi,
I have to update my log file (.txt) every time the program finishes uploading
files to server. Log file is written to using FileStream now. However, if
I'm reading the text file (using Pocket Word) at the time the process try
to open and write, I'll get an IOException. Anyway I can update the text
file and see the data updated in PocketWord without close/open it again?
Thanks for all your time
Eric

No way to accomplish this that I can think of. You might conceivably be
able to cause Pocket Word to open the file read-only, in which case it
shouldn't care that someone is changing it, but I don't think it will
'update', either.

You sure targeted a lot of groups where this message doesn't belong. What
does this have to do with Pocket PC networking, for example? Try to limit
your cross-posting. This would be fine targeted at the .NET CF group
*only*.
