    - How to find the active form in CF Hi, Can any one plz tell me how to know which form is active in an application. My app contains many forms and requires to identify the active form very frequently. I found that there is no property like Form.ActiveForm available in CompactFramework. I could use a class which contains a Form class variable to store the current form instance and assign to it the current form instance in the page_load event of that form. But this may lead to bugs if i fail to assign the correct form instance. So i prefer a more direct way. Plz help! - Hari Tag: How to make a container control? Tag: 74384

    - Enum question Hi, I am having problems passing a correct argument that was using enum. Hopefully someone can she some light. // C++ enum from header file for the driver typedef enum{ Port_A, Port_B, Port_C, Port_D, } G_PORTS; //driver method signature INT8 GetPortState(PORTHANDLE phandle, G_PORTS port, UINT32 signal) //C# translation of the enum public enum G_PORTS { Port_A, Port_B, Port_C, Port_D } //C# P/Invoke [DllImport("mylib.dll")] public static extern UInt16 GetPortState(IntPtr phandle, G_PORTS port, UINT32 signal); //first implementation of the method call in application SignalRead = GetPortState(phandle, G_PORTS.Port_D, 0x10000000); After making the method call...I was not getting what I expected and I stepped through the code to the driver. I found out that that arguments that I passed as G_PORTS.Port_D was passed to the driver as G_PORTS.Port_A. Could someone explain why is so? Thanks. -- mario Tag: How to make a container control?

    - Image Processing PPC I have an C# PPC app and am experiencing extream lag time when manipulating pixel values in an Image object. Is there a way to make the GetPixel / SetPixel operation faster ? my image is 144x256 pixel and takes about 3 minutes to simply invert the colors using the following code: ********************************************************** if (chkInvert.Checked) { Color tmpclr, newClr; int r, g, b; Bitmap img2Invert = new Bitmap(pictureBox1.Image); //loop through the image and invert each pixel for (int iy = 0; iy < img2Invert.Height; iy++) for (int ix = 0; ix < img2Invert.Width; ix++) { tmpclr = img2Invert.GetPixel(ix, iy); r = 255 - tmpclr.R; g = 255 - tmpclr.G; b = 255 - tmpclr.B; newClr = Color.FromArgb(r, g, b); img2Invert.SetPixel(ix, iy, newClr); } pictureBox1.Image = img2Invert; } ************************************************************ Help with this would be much appreciated.

    - Problem : Asian characters are not displayed properly in Draft and sent Items Folder hi, We have developed an Pocket PC application In Vb.net CF and having English language selected as the default regional setting(The device Model : HP ipaq 6510a. We are providing an sms functionality in our application and it's supposed to save all the messages to Drafts folder of pocket PC under Messaging . We are reading the texts from flat files written in different languages (ie chinese, japanese , korean , english and some european language) and displaying it in a textbox . The contents of this text box is being saved in the Draft folder mentioned above . We copied some fonts to the windows font folder on the device and also assosiated these fonts in the code by using the font property of the controls. Hence with the application the asian characters are displayed properly. But the problem we are facing is with viewing the same asian characters when viewed as a message under the drafts folder . The asian characters shows up as either boxes or question marks. Is there any way to install fonts that will be compatible with all applications ( Like drafts,inbox,pocket word etc.) in the device .

    - Uninstall not removing everything. Help please. When I uninstall my application from a PPC using "remove programs" I cannot seem to get the entire application to remove. It wants to leave behind folders and data. Sometimes it will alert me that a file or folder is in use or marked read only and sometimes it will complete the uninstall without any noise at all. But, looking back at the ppc I sometimes will see that everything has been removed properly and then at other times there will be folders left behind. We are trying to get our application "logo tested" and one of the requirements is for the uninstall to leave as little behind as possible. I am using the following items in my program: OpenNetCF SqlCE FormStack I have an exit button on my main page in the application that has the following code in the click event: Application.Exit() Anyone out there might know of a way to help me out? ------------------------------------------ Noble D.

    - GPRS comms problem - network provider issue? Hi folks, I've spent quite some time implementing a GPRS comms module for our application to send data back to a SQL Server db over GPRS. Basically, it establishes a GPRS connection and then uses RDA to send back the data using 'insert' statements in small blocks. It also uses a few webservice calls to validate the device id. This is the technique we have always used for non-gprs comms and works 100's of existing devices over several years without a hitch. For testing purposes we have a server in the office setup with a real-world ip address running IIS only for this, the SQL server is on another server in the office. However, under GPRS I am getting some odd behaviour that seems to point to the connection provided by the network provider, sometimes it works for a couple of hours and then it will just start failing for hours on end, typically I get the message... 'A request to send data to the computer running IIS has failed' occasionally I get "gateway timeouts" or messages relating to "header record corrupted". But this only occurs with the rda.submit calls, any webservice methods work correctly. I'm happy that the server is still alive on the internet, if I immediately fire up pocket ie and browse to the sscesa20.dll it responds as expected. As a test I created a new webmethod that would accept the insert strings normally sent via rda, and when using this, things work fine, but as soon as I switch back to using rda.submit I get the error (this can be done on-the-fly in the app using the current/existing connection). The connection string for this web method is set on the server. It's not the rda connection string, since when I use active sync or local wifi instead of the gprs connection, my gprs methods work fine. All this testing was done with 'Orange'. At one point, after two hours of failures, I swapped the sim for a 'Vodafone' one, and it all worked immediately, but, shortly after that it stopped working. This was all without making any code or data changes. Assuming it's not code, where else could I look? Cheers Chris Tag: How to make a container control? Tag: 74355

    - Printing with CF Hello, I'm trying to print from an CF-Application on an usb-printer. I can print a screenshot on the printer by using some API-Functions. But now I'm trying to print my own Graphic (All Data of an DataTable; the result should look like a datagrid).

I also tried the following instead of g.DrawString (...) String str = "Hello World!"; TextOut(hPrinterDC, 50, 140, 0, IntPtr.Zero, str, (ushort)str.Length, IntPtr.Zero); But this didn't work either.

    - Smartphone2003, cant access internet thru app, but can thru IE I've got a Smartphone 2003. I've got a few of them, actually. On all of them I can access the internet thru internet explorer. But only on some of them can I access the internet thru my application. I just started programming on the smartphone (and c# & windows for that matter) & took over someone elses job, so I'm thinking they installed a file or setting or something that allows 'unverified' applications to access the internet on only some of the phones. In any case, how do I get the other phones up & working? Tag: How to make a container control? Tag: 74345

    - TreeView nodes wouldn't clear I had about 4 hours of frustration with the TreeView control today. I thought it must have been a bug in the TreeView, but who knows. Basically calling treeView's Nodes.Clear() did not clear out the treeView. When looking at the treeView in the debugger, the Nodes collection showed a count of 0, but the treeView still showed the old nodes in the app. When I looked harder, there was a non-public member called nodeTable. This table was not cleared by Nodes.Clear(). So eventually I tried to create a standalone program that duplicated this problem, but of course the problem was no longer there. I'm pretty sure that closing the solution and opening it again was what fixed it because my main application's tree view is now working as desired. I just wish I'd tried closing VS and opening it again 3 hours earlier. I hope this post helps someone some day. Tag: How to make a container control? Tag: 74325

    - space showing instead of start/title bar I'm writing a game that uses full screens. The only time it doesn't work is the first time a couple of the forms are displayed. In those cases, the top of the screen (where the start bar usually is) from the previous form/screen is displayed instead. I'm using this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized; to get the fullscreen to work. That was resulting in some flickering of the title bar, which was fixed by using P/Invoke calls ShowWindow and EnableWindow from another thread here. Any ideas? Tag: How to make a container control?

    - Trace.WriteLine (Urgent) Hi all I have an app that is performing some very complicated operations at a certain point. Sometimes this takes 45 seconds, sometimes (on the same data) it takes 5 minutes. I'd like to try to track down the cause of this problem but stepping through the code doesn't help much because 1) It is recursive so too hard to mentally work out what is happening 2) It doesn't give me an idea of time I wanted to use Trace.WriteLine to try to help me to work it out where the delays are but sadly this doesn't exist in CF2. Is there an alternative I can use to display trace messages? Thanks Pete Tag: How to make a container control? Tag: 74311

    - How can I tell if my form was started using Application2? This question involves the OpenNetCF SDF. Is there a straightforward way to determine whether a form was started using the SDF Application2 class? That is, Application2.Run(new form()) rather than Application.Run(new form()) I thought maybe I could use the Application2.MessageLoop property; however, this is not set immediately by the SDF. I inspected the Application2 source code and saw that the messageLoop variable isn't set to true until after the mainForm visibility is set to true. This causes the following code: protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e) { Debug.WriteLine("OnLoad: Application2.MessageLoop: " + Application2.MessageLoop); base.OnLoad(e); } protected override void OnGotFocus(EventArgs e) { Debug.WriteLine("OnGotFocus: Application2.MessageLoop: " + Application2.MessageLoop); base.OnGotFocus(e); } protected override void OnActivated(EventArgs e) { Debug.WriteLine("OnActivated: Application2.MessageLoop: " + Application2.MessageLoop); base.OnActivated(e); } to initially print out: OnLoad: Application2.MessageLoop: False OnActivated: Application2.MessageLoop: False OnGotFocus: Application2.MessageLoop: False If I minimize the form (using the "home" button on the phone) and then refocus it (using the "back" button on the phone), I'm able to force OnActivated and OnGotFocus to be called. In this case, finally, MessageLoop is true. OnActivated: Application2.MessageLoop: True OnGotFocus: Application2.MessageLoop: True There has to be a better way!? Thanks everyone!

    - InvalidCastException when casting object returned from web service I have a .net framework 2.0 client (Pocket PC) and a .net 2.0 webservice that communicate on the same LAN. The Pocket PC has no problem consuming strings returned from the web service methoeds but Iâ??m unable to receive and a custom object. The error occurs when the PocketPC app casts a returned object (WebServiceServer.objectA) from the webservice to pocketPC.ObjectA (results in InvalidCastExeption). ObjectA is a simple class and is identical on the PocketPC and Webservice. Iâ??ve verified the object is being returned to the PocketPC intact (debugging indicates all correct types exist and values populated) but when I try to cast it from type Object to pocketPC.ObjectA in the PocketPC code I get the exception. Iâ??ve also replaced the representation of pocketPC.ObjectA in Reference.cs with a copy of the actual pocketPC.ObjectA. What am I doing wrong? Is this not supported by compact framework? Thanks, Jim public class ObjectA //same on client and web service { private string sStringA = string.Empty; private string sStringB = string.Empty; private string sStringC = string.Empty; public ObjectA() { } public ObjectA() string sParamA, DateTime dtParamB,string sParamC) { this.sStringA = sSomeStringDeterminedByWebServiceBizLogic; this.sStringB = sSomeStringDeterminedByWebServiceBizLogic;; this.sStringC = sSomeStringDeterminedByWebServiceBizLogic;; } public string StringA { get { return this.sStringA;} set { this.sStringA = value; } } public string StringB { get { return this.sStringB; } } public string SringC { get { return this.sStringC; } set { this.sStringC = value; } } } Client code (Pocket PC) public static ObjectA GetObjectAFromWebService() { WebServiceServer.Service ws = new WebServiceServer.Service(); object tmpObject = (object)ws.GetObjectAForPocketPC(someParamA, someParamB); ObjectA objectA = (ObjectA)tmpObject; //The above cast results in the InvalidCastException //Iâ??ve also tried to assign directly to the PocketPC ObjectA but receive a compile time error.

    - Debugging pocket suddenly stopped working. Visual studio 2005 / WM5 Debugging pocket suddenly stopped working. I'm building my own application for the pocket pc, and debugging has always worked for me. Now all of a sudden i get the an errormessage usually: Error 1 De externe host heeft een verbinding verbroken. which would be english something like this: The extral host has disconnected the connection. One time i got the message: Er is geprobeerd een bewerking uit te voeren op iets anders dan een socket. which is exactly translated: An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket In visual studio: Tools > Connect to device always returns: "Connection succeeded" I'm using: - Visual studio 2005 - Compact framework 2.0 SP1 - HP Ipaq with WM5 after some google attempts it seems to be network related, so I've tried some ipconfig /release and /renew and tried to restore the connection trough network settings. According to windows there is nothing wrong with the connection though. Any suggestions? Jeroen Tag: How to make a container control? Tag: 74237

    - How to disable the start button? hello, I want to disable the start button, so that the user cannot click on it. I'am using a pocket pc with windows mobile 5 (and cf 2.0). I already found some examples but all are using "SHFullScreen(hwnd, SHFS_HIDESTARTICON)". But this doesn't work for me... ... I don't know why but the start button stays enabled. The problem is that the user have to use the "ok" button on the upper right. That's why I cannot disable the _taskbar_! Any help appreciated, thx flik Tag: How to make a container control? Tag: 74223

    - Best Approach for Autoupdate Hi, I have an Pocket PC Application which needs to look for updates in an FTP server and if there is any newer version of the application is available on the FTP, then it needs to download the CAB file and install it from the Device. I am thinking of going for one of the below approaches. 1. Using an Update exe file which the does the checking, downloading and launches the my application. If there is no Updates, then it just lauches the application and terminates. 2. My Application will check for Updates and if found, it will download the Latest CAB file and put it in a default location and warm reboot the device and I will be updating the script for Warm reboot to install the CAB from the Default Location on Warm reboot. Can some one tell me which is the best approach for my scenario. If there is any other Approach please suggest me. Thanks, Murthy Tag: How to make a container control? Tag: 74220

I've got a usercontrol named PseudoForm. It has a titlebar and a panel
named UserSpace filling all the rest. The panel is scrollable. My
intention is that other controls were inheriting from PseudForm and
that, in designer, developer could drag other controls into the
PseudoForm but into its panel.

As for now, controls can be draged into the PseudoForm but the panel
allways convers them.
