Help in API (again)
With Alex and Geoff's help, we've got working:
- Disk space is fine...
- Battery info returns the main battery info but not the backup battery...
Is
there anything else we could do?
- The memory status returns 163208757280 and 80906463648210944 for length
and memory load; for 0 and 123004564856111104 totalphysical and
availphysical... Means nothing (at least for me)... The function
GetSystemMemoryDivision reports NotSupportedException...
- And now the most important for us: the idle timeout... It doesn't do
anything,
meaning, I set it to "n" numbers and it doesn't change anything... Besides,
it says that this function doesn't "turn off" the auto suspend mode... What
am I missing?
Tks again,

Publication Access List User Question (Anyone else?)
dw,
Thanks for your response. Are you able to create a publication through the
Enterprise Manager as a non sysadmin and only has access to the database you
want to replicate? When I attempt to do this I get the following error:
SQL Server Enterprise Manager could not retrieve information about the
Distributor or the database.
Error 229: SELECT permission denied on 'MSdistributiondbs',database 'msdb'
owner 'dbo'.
All I'm trying to do is pull information down from a simple table no views,
stored procs, etc. This does work when I login as a sysadmin user.
Eventually, each user that accesses the publication would get different sets
of data. We have over 1100 users so I don't want 1100 sysadmins. Would you
mind posting a script of what you use to create your publication that allows
non-sysadmins access to the publication.
Thanks,
Jason

PDA Emulation for new hardware
Hi,
I currently have some non-standard PDA hardware in my
PDA, which I would like other people to develop for. Is
there any way for me to program/update/(write a plug-in
for) the emulator that comes with VS .NET 2003 so that my
friends can develop for my PDA without me having to give
them all PDAs?
Basically, I'd like it so that when they use my dlls or
libraries, the emulator will know that the hardware would
exist on their target platform so it will know to emulate
the specified functions without wondering why they're
accessing such ridiculous addresses.. thanks

PPC2002 eVC++ ActiveSync Provider setting COM object property (x-posted)
Hi All,
I'd REALLY appreciate your help on a small problem - actually I suppose
its not really a problem but a lack of understanding; my C++ skills are
terribly jaded due to lack of use.
Here is some code I've got within an ActiveSync provider I've written
(thanks to the Template with the SDK). All I want to do is initialise a
COM object (written in C#.Net, incidentally) and set one of its
properties.
So I have tried this (the classid of the object is HeyJim...you may have
guessed its only a test object):
CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_MULTITHREADED);
GUID heyjimguid = __uuidof('HeyJim');
CoCreateInstance(heyjimguid, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, 'HeyJim',
NULL);
I'm sure with the experience on this ng you'll spot the problem straight
away. When i attempt to compile this however in eVC++3 I get 'too many
chars in constant' for the 'GUID heyjimguid' line and 'cannot convert
parameter 4 from const int to const _GUID @'.
And besides, my understanding of __uuidof is that it gets the GUID at
compiletime...thats no good surely, since the GUID will be on PPC2002 not
on my development machine; so how do I ensure that the CoCreateInstance
i'm doing will instantiate the object on the PDA? Won't it have a
different GUID?
I hope you can help, I'd love to offer something in return but I guess I
just can't.
Please Help

How to remove .NET CF from PDA?
Hi All,
I'm doing an install but I need to test that the .NET
CF is automagically installed when I run my install
program. Therefore, I want to remove the .NET CF from my

So, can someone tell me ho to remove the .NET Compact
Framework from my PDA? I checked the "Removed Programs"

Pocket PC 2003 Connectivity without Activesync
Sorry to raise this topic again, but while there are indeed ~many~
previous postings, none that I've seen answer it for me.
Due to the inconsistancies and unrelyability of ActiveSync, I want to be
able to run apps with connectivity to the desktop for transfering data
and files but WITHOUT ActiveSync being used. I'm pretty sure something
could be done quite easily with bluetooth of Wireless technology, but
not eveyone has that. My initial thoughts were winsock-like ideas, and
there were some long postings about doing this in embedded C with WinCE,
but I'm a VB developer and was wondering if anyone could shed some light.
Many thanks.

notifcation differences between ppc 2002 and 2003
I have an app that used the notification api to launch an
application at a specified time. In PPC 2002, if the
device was off - even if the application was already
running, the device would power on.
In 2003, it appears like the device will not power on if
the application is already running. Also, if it is not
running, the screen does not come on, however I see the
network card light up for a short time...
Is there some sort of OS setting that I might be
overlooking? Anybody have ideas, suggestions?

Listview Item Click will not be fired

Hallo together,
I use the Listview in .NET CF under Visual Studio .NET 2003.
I am adding the LV Items like this at the runtime:
locLVItem =3D New ListViewItem
locLVItem.Text =3D "XYZ"
locLVItem.SubItems.Add("XY")
PubFrmMain.LView.Items.Add(locLVItem)
The problem is that the Listview provides an Click Event but it will =
never be started. Is the Click Event not usable in .NET CF?
The SelectedIndexChanged Event I cannot use because the event will be =
fired before the Item is focused and so I cannot find the Focused item =
in this event:
If CType(sender, ListView).Focused =3D True Then
PubLVClickIndex =3D CType(sender, ListView).FocusedItem.Index
End If
Can anybody help me?

Difference between Form.Hide() and (X)
What actually happens when I click the top-right (X) in a form?
Clicking (O) is equal to Form.Close() right? But (X) is not equal to
Form.Hide()
In a scenario I have a parentform-subform (form1-form2-form3-...-formN)
relation to a certain depth.
I have a button "Exit" that performs this.Hide()
If I close all forms with (X) until I reach the today screen, and then
launch the application again formN is displayed. If I close this form with
(X) or "Exit" the today screen is displayed again. But if I re-launch the
application here I get formN if (X) was clicked and formN-1 if "Exit" was
used. So we "advance" one form by clicking Exit instead of (X).
If I instead click on Exit on each form, and re-launch the application and
again nothing happens. In this case I need to activate it from the Running
Programs list. Maybe one could say that hiding is more powerful than (X) ??
Anyone willing to elaborate?
thanks,

Sorting treeview - not updating correctly using RemoveAt method

When I sort a nodes collection in a treeview the tree is not updated =

the nodes and if I look at the treeview in the debugger it has the =
correct layout, but not on the display.=20
I have tried Invalidate(), Refresh() and Update() without sucess.
I have a small swap method that does the same thing as my sort method, =
but once instead of multiple times. You need a node with atleast 3 =
subnodes for this example (and a TreeView named tView).
private void btnSwap_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
TreeNode tn =3D tView.SelectedNode;
TreeNode tn1, tn2;
int node1 =3D 0; //Convert.ToInt32(numUpDown1.Value - 1);
int node2 =3D 2; //Convert.ToInt32(numUpDown2.Value - 1);
if( tn !=3D null )
{
int minNumNodes =3D System.Math.Max( node1, node2 );
if( tn.Nodes.Count > minNumNodes )
{
tn1 =3D tn.Nodes[node1];
tn2 =3D tn.Nodes[node2];
tn.Nodes.RemoveAt( node1 );
//tView.Update();
tn.Nodes.Insert( node1, tn2 );
//tView.Update();
tn.Nodes.RemoveAt( node2 );
//tView.Update();
tn.Nodes.Insert( node2, tn1 );
//tView.Update();
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Too few nodes in collection...");
}
}
}
I tried this using a node structure of one BASE node and three subnodes =
named F, E, D (in that order)
Base
|--------- F
|
E =20
|
D
I wanted to swap F and D using the swap method above. Below are the =
results first is the actual results in the datastructure and then the =
results shown in the display
RemoveAt(0): TreeView: (E, D, null) Display: (E, D, null) ok
Insert(0, tn2): TreeView: (D, E, D) Display: (D, E, D) ok
RemoveAt(2): TreeView: (D, E, null) Display: (E, D, null) !!!!!!!!!!??
Insert(2, tn1): TreeView: (D, E, F) Display: (E, F, D) !!!!!!!!!!??
It seems that RemoveAt removes the first occurency of node D instead of =
node D at position 2. Is this a known bug, am I not thinking correctly =
or what's up? I just wanted to add some sorting functionality to my =
treeview...
Any better ideas on how to perform sorting on treeview?

Mimic Pocket Outlook Monthly and Weekly view
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone out there has created a contol that mimics the
look of the Outlook weekly or monthly view (preferrably both)? We will
have to do this for a .NET CF app shortly and it would save quite a bit
of time if we don't have to build custom controls.
Failing that any ideas as to how to approach this would be welcome.
Peter Foot has already kindly pointed me towards this article on
creating a monthview calendar control
http://smartdevices.microsoftdev.com/Learn/Articles/624.aspx
and creating owner drawn controls.
http://www.opennetcf.org/Articles/ownerdrawnlist.asp
Any other input would be most welcome.

KeyDown ignored by several important controls
I have a recursive function that snakes throughout a form and all of it's
sub-controls to set a KeyDown event (to listen for the 'ESC' key). However,
several important controls, like the combobox and even buttons do not seem
to properly listen for keydown events. Is this by design? If I want to
enable a given hardware key throughout a form, is there a better way to
achieve this?

Disable Power-On Notifications?
I have a full-screen application that locks the taskbar (kind of like a
kiosk app); however, upon a power off/on toggle, sometimes the taskbar
appears, and being that it's locked, it covers the top of the screen until
it is forced into the foreground. Is there any way to prevent the taskbar
from receiving notifications on power up or otherwise keep the taskbar
constantly hidden?
We even capture the IntPtr to the taskbar window handle, then re-enable the
taskbar, then kill focus on the taskbar, then set focus on the current
full-screen form, then re-disable the taskbar, but that doesn't work. Any
ideas?

Webrequest.GetResponse error - no end of entity mark
Here is some Visual Basic code I'm using to submit a HTTP GET to an URL
that should be returning some plain text data (MIME type is "text/Plain").
When I run the code on the PocketPC emulator, I'm getting the error "The
response did not contain an end of entity mark" in the
Webrequest.Getresponse method.
Any idea what the error means? I can find zero documentation. I only get
the error in the Pocket PC version of my application (the same code works
fine in Windows!), and only when submitting to this particular URL (the URL
is for a built-in webserver for a piece of network-enabled audio hardware).
Dim sResponse, rspText
Dim req As HttpWebRequest
Dim rsp As WebResponse
Dim rspStream As Stream
Dim creds As New NetworkCredential(userID, password)
Dim sURL As New Uri("http://192.168.0.103/apicmd.asp?cmd=next")
req = WebRequest.Create(sURL)
req.Credentials = creds
req.Method = "GET"
rsp = req.GetResponse()

Web Reference "URL Behavior"
I have a .NET application for PocketPC that uses a Web Reference. I need to
be able to dynamically change the URL of this web reference and have read
about the "URL Behavior" property of the Web Reference and changing it to
Dynamic, but I don't have this property for some reason. Is it because it
is a PocketPC application? How else can I change the URL dynamically? Tag: top-most window? Tag: 9583

Webrequest.GetResponse error - no end of entity mark
Anybody know what could cause the error "The response did not contain an
end of entity mark" in the Webrequest.Getresponse method?
Here's some background: I'm writing a Pocket PC app in Visual Basic
that communicates with the Turtle Beach Audiotron, a hardware digital
music server that can be controlled over the network via a built-in web
server. Turtle Beach published a programming API for the Audiotron;
commands are sent as HTTP GET requests. E.g., you tell the audiotron to
advance to the next track by sending the URL
"http://192.168.0.103/apicmd.asp?cmd=next", where 192.168.0.103 is the
network address of the audiotron. The Audiotron API also states that
replies from the GET are returned as plain text data (MIME type is
"text/Plain"). In the case of a successful "next track" command as
described above, the response would be "Error 0 - Success/n".
Ok, so here's my code that sends a "skip to the next track" command to
the audiotron. It works fine in my PC-based version of the app, but
the GetResponse method gives the aforementioned "The response did not
contain an end of entity mark" error when executed in the .NET compact
framework and deployed to the PocketPC emulator.
Dim sResponse, rspText
Dim req As HttpWebRequest
Dim rsp As WebResponse
Dim rspStream As Stream
Dim creds As New NetworkCredential(userID, password)
Dim sURL As New Uri("http://192.168.0.103/apicmd.asp?cmd=next")
req = WebRequest.Create(sURL)
req.Credentials = creds
req.Method = "GET"
rsp = req.GetResponse()
rspStream = rsp.GetResponseStream
Dim readStream As New StreamReader(rspStream, Encoding.UTF8)
rspText = readStream.ReadToEnd()
rsp.Close()
I can't find any documentation for the error (usenet searches, MSDN,
websearches, etc.). I have confirmed that it is not an emulator
communication problem, as the code works for external URLs (such as
www.google.com) and for another webserver inside my network (my
router's built-in webserver). Also, If I put in an invalid URL, I get
a completely different error. So the error is received only when
communicating with the Audiotron's built-in webserver, and even then
only in the .NET CF. I would love to hear any ideas!
Thanks :) Tag: top-most window? Tag: 9572
Is Control.Invoke supported?
Hi,
The Visual Studio .NET 2003 documentation says that .NET Compact Framework -
Windows CE .NET supports Control.Invoke (i.e. accessing windows forms
controls from a thread they were not created on).
I'm trying to use Control.Invoke on a Pocket PC 2002 device and I get an
"Argument Exception" managed error.
Has anyone been successful with Control.Invoke and if so do you have some
sample code? My code works on the desktop but not on the Pocket PC.

Help in API
We're trying to do a few things here without success and I would like to ask
for your help, please.
1) Disable and re-enable auto suspend
have found that we could P/Invoke
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETBATTERYIDLETIMEOUT, 0, NULL, TRUE) but haven't
found any working example and have no idea on how to start
2) Get free disk space
we could P/Invoke GetDiskFreeSpaceEx but no working example either
3) Get free memory
P/Invoke GlobalMemoryStatus, no working example either
4) Get remaining battery
- P/Invoke GetSystemPowerStatusEx - have found an example but couldn't get
it to work
- could use OpenNetCF.BatteryStatus but I still don't want to go that way...
I'd rather P/Invoke it myself...
Tks very much,

print from a pocket pc
Can anybody tell me which is the best solution to print something with a
program written in vb.net for a pocket pc?
I'm a bit confused on the whole process, so I'll try to explain what I need.
I'm going to write a Smart Device Application (using Visual Studio 2003 and
VB.NET code) for a pocket pc: one of the features to provide with this
application is the print of a final report (doesn't matter if html, word or
pdf) made of only text, connecting to a small mobile printer.
I've a pocket Pc supporting bluetooth (Compaq Ipaq 3900), but not yet a
mobile printer: the idea is to buy an hp printer (something else to
suggest?), connect the two via bluetooth, and add to application the code to
print he page, using hp mobile printing sdk.
I hope you'll suggest me examples, technical articles or useful links: any
help would be apreciated.
