    - Keeping Status Bar in view I'm using eVC4 with a Dialog Application. When the dialog starts at full screen, the Today Screen's status bar at the bottom is replaced with a bar that can pull up a keyboard. My app doesn't use a keyboard. Can I suppress the dialog's default keyboard bar and show the more useful (for my app) Today Screen status bar instead? If so, how? Tag: ActiveX for Windows CEv4 Tag: 123729

    - Question about a dialog form Can anyone advise me how to add an About form to my app. I have tried to do it, and it works well on my Desktop, but on my pocket pc it is doing some problems, for example, after I display the About form with ShowDialog, and then hide the dialog, I cannot access controls on the main form, and also I cannot stop the app from Tasks. Any ideas? Also, does anyone know how to create a global variable that I can access from all forms, before I even instantiate the form. For example, from the About form, I want to set a variable on Form1 (the main form), but only constance come up on the intellisense. The only way I can think of is doing it the other way round, and having my global var on the About form rather than on Form1, and then in Form1 I can instantiate the About form and then I can access the global in About. Is there no other way, without instantiation? tia. Tag: ActiveX for Windows CEv4 Tag: 123725

    - Sim Manager API on a Windows Mobile 6 Classic Device Hello, I have a Windows Mobile 6 Classic Device with a GPRS CF-Card. Is it possible to use the SIM Manager API? I have tried to call the SimIinitialize function without success. The function has returned the error code SIM_E_NOSIM 0x88000064. Is it necessary to register the GPRS Card, so that the system knows the card? Thanks for any help Joachim Denk Tag: ActiveX for Windows CEv4 Tag: 123713

    - When is DeleteObj called on desktop side? Hi, I have an ActiveSync service provider that needs to do only one way sync (so its essentially a transfer), i.e., it needs to move a bunch of files from the desktop to the device. The device side provider implementation therefore is pretty minimal except for the "IReplObjHandler" implementation. In fact, from "ObjectNotify" I just return FALSE. Now here's the issue - everytime I sync and uncradle the device all the items I have just synced fall off ActiveSync's radar so to speak, so that during the next sync ActiveSync does not really remember the stuff that was synced during the previous session. This happens only if I uncradle before I sync the second time. If I keep it connected then it works just fine. The reason why this happens appears to be that after cradling the device during the second sync, ActiveSync seems to do a device-to- desktop sync first, as a result of which "DeleteObj" gets called on the desktop side for every single item that was synced during the first sync. My implementation of "DeleteObj" on the desktop side does nothing other than return S_OK. Naturally, this results in all those items being removed from wherever it is that ActiveSync keeps that list (repl.dat?). Just to clarify, here's the scenario which causes the problem: [1] Cradle device [2] Synchronize - let's say 5 items get transferred to the device [4] Uncradle device [5] Delete 2 items on the desktop [6] Cradle device [7] Synchronize - now ActiveSync first syncs device-to-desktop and causes "DeleteObj" to be invoked on the desktop side for all 5 items and then during a second automatic (i.e. ActiveSync launches another sync immediately after the first one) sync moves the 3 items (even though they haven't changed) from desktop to device and does nothing about the 2 items that have been deleted. If I understand it right, I must return TRUE from "ObjectNotify" on the device side if and only if I intend to sync stuff back to the desktop from the device. Is this right? I am not sure what's going on here! Please help! Thanks. -- Ranju. V http://blogorama.nerdworks.in/ -- Tag: ActiveX for Windows CEv4 Tag: 123705

    - Problem with WINDOWS CE 4.1 and aygshell.h, please help Hi I'm quite new in eMBedded VC++ 4.0. I need to create an application for WINCE 4.1 and I'm learning from Boling's book "Programming Microsoft Window CE 3d edition". There's a couple of examples using aygshell.h. As i know this library has been added to CE 4.2 and does not exists under CE 4.1. So I cannot use functions like SHCreateMenuBar, SHHandleWMActivate, and SHHandleWMSettingChange.... What can I do?? Or maybe under WINCE 4.1 i can use some analogue functions, classes and types? Please help! JACK Tag: ActiveX for Windows CEv4 Tag: 123696

    - New questions about contacts So now that my brain has come back from vacation, here's a question hopefully someone can answer for me. My app to display a contact would be completely unnecessary if there were a way I could start the built-in Contacts application with the initial display showing a specific contact. So far, I haven't been able to find any documented way of doing so. Does anyone know if there's a documented way to do this? Does anyone know of an UNdocumented way to do this? Basically, I'm looking for some command-line arguments I could pass to the Contacts application telling it to set it's initial display to a contact I've specified. In my stand-alone app I'm using IContact::Display(), but this has a problem which brings me to my next question... Question 2 has to do with SIM contacts, but pretty much the same as the above. I want to bring up the contact manager displaying a SIM contact. Since SIM contacts aren't in the collection of IContact items, I can't use IContact::Display() to bring up a SIM contact, but when using the Contact application I can see the SIM contacts. Is there a documented or undocumented way to do this? Thanks, J144 Tag: ActiveX for Windows CEv4 Tag: 123688

    - Broadcom Bluetooth Is there a way to detect if a Broadcom Bluetooth device is turned on using code? Thanks to Unc, I know how to set the device: HMODULE hBFM = LoadLibrary(TEXT("BtFlightModeCtl.dll")); if (hBFM) { HRESULT (WINAPI *OEMSetBthPowerState)(DWORD); OEMSetBthPowerState = (HRESULT (WINAPI*)(DWORD)) (GetProcAddress(hBFM, TEXT("OEMSetBthPowerState"))); } where: OEMSetBthPowerState(TRUE) turns a Broadcom device ON and: OEMSetBthPowerState(FALSE) turns a Broadcom device OFF But, if the device is already turned on when I start my code, I want to leave it on whenever I am done.

    - Trouble with GetItemFromOid() Writing a simple app to look up a contact via OID. Here is the relevant code section: ---------- if (FAILED(hr = CoInitializeEx( NULL, 0))) { LOG(TEXT("Error %08X from CoInitializeEx()"), hr); return 1; } if (FAILED(hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_Application,NULL,CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,IID_IUnknown,(void **)&pUnknown))) { LOG(TEXT("Error %08X from CoCreateInstance()"), hr); return 1; } if (FAILED(hr = pUnknown->QueryInterface(IID_IPOutlookApp, (void**)&polApp))) { LOG(TEXT("Error %08X from QueryInterface()"), hr); return 1; } if (FAILED(hr = polApp->Logon(reinterpret_cast<long>(hWnd)))) { LOG(TEXT("Error %08X from POOM->Logon()"), hr); return 1; } if (FAILED(hr = polApp->GetItemFromOid(oid, reinterpret_cast<IDispatch**>(&poomContact)))) { LOG(TEXT("Error %08X from POOM->GetItemFromOid(%lu)"), hr, oid); return 1; } ---------- In the log file, it shows "Error 80070490 from POOM->GetItemFromOid(2147483680)" The Oid I'm passing in to GetItemFromOid was retreived in a different app with a call to get_Oid() on an IContact object, so I know it's a valid Oid. Anyone know the meaning of error code 80070490? References I've found with that number on Google don't seem to be relevant to why GetItemFromOid is failing. Am I using GetItemFromOid properly? If not, what would be an easy way to look up a specific contact. Look up by name wouldn't work because there might be more than one match, I need to be specific.

    - Menus and Multiple Platforms Some of you have noticed that I insist on generating executables that work on as many platforms as possible, and that I have come very close, except for menus. Well, I _finally_ did some experiments with minimal programs, and am sharing my results. I used an iPAQ 3665, running Pocket PC (2000) on an ARM-compatible CPU for all tests. And I used eVC 3 for all builds. When I build using the HPC Pro SDK, the TaskBar is on the bottom. When I build using the Pocket PC SDK, the TaskBar is on the top. I think that means that, unless I'm willing to do some serious hacking, I can't have a single executable run on all platforms with TaskBar and menus in the "normal" (for each platform) position. Not a tragedy, but generating, distributing, and installing the extra executables is a nuisance, and (in case you haven't noticed) bugs me. I will still see whether I can get HPC Pro builds running on all platforms with TaskBar on the bottom and menus on the top. But even though I think that is functional, it is probably unacceptable for "esthetic" reasons. The entire source code is below. Near the top of the CPP file, a section labeled "SWITCHES" defines a couple of macros that are used in compile-time directives later to enable/disable some sections of code. I used this method to try both modal and non-modal dialog box, and to call SHInitDialog or not. I did not test menus. I used an icon for my tests, but didn't bother including it and disabled the reference in the code below. I _assume_ that won't affect the results. I could probably debug the Pocket PC builds directly. But I can't debug the more interesting builds (the HPC Pro builds) because the IDE prevents cross-platform debugging (another peeve:-{ ================================================= -> Header (.h file) ================================================= // Header for Test Bed, a project for miscellaneous tests #define IDD_MAIN 100 #define IDC_BUTTON_EXIT 1010 #include <windows.h> // Always include windows.h first ================================================= -> Resource Script (.rc file) ================================================= // // TestBed.RC - resources for Test Bed, a project for miscellaneous tests // #include "TestBed.h" // Enable the next section to include an icon //#define USE_ICON #ifdef USE_ICON #define IDR_MAINFRAME 128 IDR_MAINFRAME ICON DISCARDABLE "TestBed.ico" #endif ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // // Dialog(s) // IDD_MAIN DIALOG 0, 0, 240, 160 STYLE WS_OVERLAPPED | DS_SETFOREGROUND | DS_CENTER | WS_CAPTION | WS_VISIBLE CAPTION "Test Bed" #ifdef UNDER_CE EXSTYLE WS_EX_NODRAG #endif BEGIN DEFPUSHBUTTON "Exit",IDC_BUTTON_EXIT, 53, 126, 30, 20 END ================================================= -> Source (.cpp file) ================================================= // Source file for Test Bed, a project for miscellaneous tests // -------------------------------------------------------------------- // SWITCHES // -------------------------------------------------------------------- // Activate the next line to have program find and call SHInitDialog (if platform includes) // When compiled for Pocket PC, has no visible effect // When compiled for HPC Pro, leaves space just above Task Bar //#define CALL_SHINITDIALOG // Activate the next line to have program use modal dialog //#define DO_MODAL // -------------------------------------------------------------------- #include "TestBed.h" #define PROGRAM_NAME "Test Bed" const TCHAR TNULL = _T( '\0' ); static HWND s_hWnd = NULL; static HINSTANCE s_hInst = NULL; #if defined( CALL_SHINITDIALOG ) #if !defined( SHINITDLGINFO ) // Copied from Aygshell.h for original Pocket PC // For SHInitDialog typedef struct tagSHINITDLGINFO { DWORD dwMask; HWND hDlg; DWORD dwFlags; } SHINITDLGINFO, *PSHINITDLGINFO; #define SHIDIM_FLAGS 0x0001 #define SHIDIF_DONEBUTTON 0x0001 #define SHIDIF_SIZEDLG 0x0002 #define SHIDIF_SIZEDLGFULLSCREEN 0x0004 #define SHIDIF_SIPDOWN 0x0008 #define SHIDIF_FULLSCREENNOMENUBAR 0x0010 // For SHFullScreeen #define SHFS_SHOWTASKBAR 0x0001 #define SHFS_HIDETASKBAR 0x0002 #define SHFS_SHOWSIPBUTTON 0x0004 #define SHFS_HIDESIPBUTTON 0x0008 #define SHFS_SHOWSTARTICON 0x0010 #define SHFS_HIDESTARTICON 0x0020 #endif typedef BOOL (*InitD)( SHINITDLGINFO * ); typedef BOOL (*ShowFull)( HWND, DWORD ); #endif // -------------------------------------------------------------------- static inline LPCTSTR getEMsg( DWORD dwRc ) { const DWORD dLen = 200; static TCHAR sBuf[dLen+1]; sBuf[0] = TNULL; // Use 0 for default language - not supported under CE ::FormatMessage( FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM, NULL, dwRc, 0, sBuf, dLen, NULL ); return sBuf; } // -------------------------------------------------------------------- static inline void showMsg( LPCTSTR sMsg ) { ::MessageBox( s_hWnd, sMsg, _T( PROGRAM_NAME ), MB_OK ); } // -------------------------------------------------------------------- static inline void showEMsg( LPCTSTR sExtra ) { DWORD dwRc = ::GetLastError(); TCHAR sMsg[200]; _stprintf( sMsg, _T( "Message for error %d %s: %s" ), dwRc, sExtra, getEMsg( dwRc ) ); showMsg( sMsg ); } // -------------------------------------------------------------------- static inline BOOL CALLBACK dlgProc( HWND hDlg, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam ) { if (uMsg == WM_COMMAND) { int nID = LOWORD( wParam ); if (nID == IDC_BUTTON_EXIT) ::PostQuitMessage( IDCLOSE ); } else if (uMsg == WM_INITDIALOG) { s_hWnd = hDlg; #ifdef CALL_SHINITDIALOG HINSTANCE hInst = ::LoadLibrary( _T( "AygShell.dll" ) ); InitD pInit = reinterpret_cast<InitD>(::GetProcAddress( hInst, _T( "SHInitDialog" ) )); ShowFull pShow = reinterpret_cast<ShowFull>(::GetProcAddress( hInst, _T( "SHFullScreen" ) )); if (pInit != NULL) { SHINITDLGINFO shidi; shidi.dwMask = SHIDIM_FLAGS; shidi.dwFlags = SHIDIF_SIZEDLGFULLSCREEN | SHIDIF_SIPDOWN; shidi.hDlg = s_hWnd; if (!pInit( &shidi )) showMsg( _T( "Call to SHInitDialog failed" )); if (!pShow( s_hWnd, SHFS_SHOWSTARTICON )) showMsg(_T( "Call to SHFullScreen failed" )); } else showMsg( _T( "AygShell not found." ) ); #endif } return FALSE; } // -------------------------------------------------------------------- int APIENTRY WinMain( HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPTSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow ) { s_hInst = hInstance; // NOTE: using NULL instead of hInstance causes failure (resource not found) on real // device, but not in emulator!!!*(*&(*&(!

    - Platform Builder SDK, once installed, does not appear in VS2005. Does anyone know why a Platform Builder CE 5.0 generated SDK would not show up in VS2005 as a possible device when the VC smartdevice wizard runs? Another way to ask: Does anyone know the OS Design requirements, or any other PB 5.0 requirements, to have it so that an OS's PB-generated SDK causes a device to show up in VS2005 once the sdk itself is installed? I've tried this with two Platform Builder 5.0 OS Designs. One uses the "Mobile Handheld" template, and the other uses the "Enterprise Web Pad template." After installing the PB-generated SDK for the OS Design using the "Mobile Handheld" template, VS2005 does *not* show the device as a choice in the smartdevice wizard. The PB-generated SDK for the OS Design using the "Enterprise Web Pad" *does* show the device as an option. Does anyone know what components need to be present for VS2005 to list a deviced associated with a PB-generated SDK that has been installed? Obviously something in the Enterprise Web Pad template is not in the Mobile Handheld template which causes the device for the Mobile Handheld SDK not to be displayed. I realize this seems like a PB 5.0 question but I've had no response over there, and my guess is that technically this is information that the VS2005 folks determine since VS2005 is technically their application and it is the one whose behavior is undefined to me. Thanks in advance for any help. Regards, Tom Tag: ActiveX for Windows CEv4 Tag: 123664

    - Custom setup.dll localization Hi, I have an application that requires localization on its custom setup.dll (some checks are done in the Install_Init function). All the application resources are contained in a separate dll and we want to use that dll for the resources of the custom setup.dll. The problem is that, on installation time, the resources dll is not unpacked from the cab file (only the setup dll is unpacked) until the Install_Init is executed. I've been trying to look for information about what are the valid values/parameter for the install CSP that goes in the _setup.xml to see if something can specified in there on what files should be unpacked before calling the Install_Init function from the setup.dll. Anyone has tried something like this? Is this possible? Is another way to do localization on the custom setup dlls? Thanks in advance. Roberto Tag: ActiveX for Windows CEv4 Tag: 123663

In the Dialog resource editor, the closest I can find is a Static Text control followed by an Edit Box control. Is there a way to modify the text information on a Static Text control during program execution? I have tried doing this unsuccessfully before. Currently to draw text onto the form, I get the rectangle of the window, calculate where I want my text displayed, then use DrawText to place my information. This causes some flickering that I would like to avoid by having a label on the form that I can simply edit the text of. What should I do here? Again: Using eMbedded VC, not Visual Studio.

Generally speaking, what colour restrictions are there on mobile devices? Thanks in advance Tag: ActiveX for Windows CEv4 Tag: 123608

    - Javascript with Mobile Explorer and DTM_ADDTEXT I am attempting to load dynamic web pages into the HTMLView control using DTM_ADDTEXT. This part works fine. However, any javascript in the page does not get executed (or body onload= doesn't work). I need to have javascript fire when the page loads but I can't figure out how to do it. On our CE.NET software we use IWebBrowser2's Rewrite and that works perfectly. Is there anything similar I can do with Windows Mobile 5? Tag: ActiveX for Windows CEv4 Tag: 123606

    - Landscape and SipUp problem I'm trying to get an MFC CFormView app to behave in Landscape mode with the SIP showing, and I'm encountering problems. An unexpected scroll-bar is showing up on the left side. It seems like there is excess space under the form. Here are some screen shots from the PPC-2003-SE emulator to illustrate: www.berbible.org/misc/LandscapeSip/PortraitSipDown_Ok.jpg www.berbible.org/misc/LandscapeSip/PortraitSipUp_Ok.jpg www.berbible.org/misc/LandscapeSip/LandscapeSipDown_Ok.jpg www.berbible.org/misc/LandscapeSip/LandscapeSipUp_Problem.jpg www.berbible.org/misc/LandscapeSip/LandscapeSipUp_Problem_Excess.jpg I guess I'm leaving out something, or not taking some detail into account. Any suggestions based on the above? Tag: ActiveX for Windows CEv4 Tag: 123605

    - Modem Connection Errors Not sure if this is the right newsgroup....please let me know if there is a better one. I'm developing an application for a rugged WM 5.0 PDA that uses a compact flash GPRS modem to connect to the Internet. Our application uses the compact .net framework to communicate to our servers on the Internet. I'm trying to understand a bit more how windows mobile handles the modem connections, specifically the error conditions. We setup a modem connection to Cingular or T-Mobile and the device automatically handles the dialing out, etc. But if the device is in an area with very poor GPRS coverage, after attempting to dial out, a balloon pops up with "The answering modem has disconnected. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings." If I enter bogus settings I can generate a other errors, such as "Cannot connect for an unknown reason". Or removing the card and attempting to connect gives "No modem found". I've also seen "No modem at above number" and maybe a couple more that I can't think of. I'd like to understand what these errors actually mean. Are there windows API's that describe them? The problem I'm investigating is that sometimes the modem gets into a state where a soft reset is required before it will connect again. To our app, it appears that the modem is not present. So my first step is trying to better understand these error messages and what conditions them happen in. Thanks in advance for any help. Tag: ActiveX for Windows CEv4 Tag: 123600

    - How does ActiveSync know, which Item on PocketPC belongs to which on PC? Does anybody know, which ID ActiveSync is using to find the Calendar and Taskitems. (OID is not the right one) On the PC we know, that PR_SEARCH_KEY is a uniq ID to do such things, but how to do that on the PPC ? Thank you. Sven Tag: ActiveX for Windows CEv4 Tag: 123598

    - Single cab with two versions of the same file I've run into an issue that means I have to have a separate build of one of my application files for WM6. Is it possible, using cabwiz, to create a CAB file that contains both versions of the file and will install the correct one? Everything I've found so far indicates that cabwiz will generate two different CAB files. Regards, David Tag: ActiveX for Windows CEv4 Tag: 123594

    - KeyInput issues So I'm writing a game engine and I've been struggling with getting a key input system working that works on all devices properly. Right now I'm using GxOpenInput() to disable key filtering at the start of my app and GxCloseInput() at the end of the app. I capture key input in the message procedure via WM_KEYDOWN and WM_KEYUP messages and then set a member variable based on that. For example: LRESULT TApplication::MsgProc(HWND hWnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { switch(uMsg) { case WM_KEYDOWN: switch (wParam) { case VK_TACTION: m_dwKeyInput |= ACTION; return 0L; } break; case WM_KEYUP: { case VK_TACTION: m_dwKeyInput &= ~ACTION; return 0L; } break; } return DefWindowProc(hWnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam); } That's a very reduced version for brevity but it captures all the important keys - UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, ACTION, SOFT 1 & 2, HOME, BACK, TALK and END. This sytem works very well across all devices BUT there are some exceptions. For instance, on most devices pressing the ENDCALL button will generate a WM_KEYDOWN message and then WM_KEYUP when the button is released. But on some devices (like the Samsung Blackjack) pressing the ENDCALL generates both WM_KEYDOWN and a WM_KEYUP messages one after the other which of course leads to the m_dwKeyInput being set and cleared before it can ever be used in the game loop. Does anyone have any insight on this? Would be greatly appreciated! Fred Tag: ActiveX for Windows CEv4 Tag: 123591

    - Detect Cradle I'm writing code in VB.NET and using Windows Mobile 5.0 on a Dell Axim PDA (a PPC). I want to use VB.NET to detect when the PDA is put in the cradle.... So two things: 1) can the PPC VB.NET App itself detect when it has been placed in the cradle?????? 2) can the PPC VB.NET, if it detects being put in the cradle, run another application on the PPC or on the desktop. If I can do either 1 or 2, then I can write an app to do my own database syncing .... that is until Sync Services is are done. Tag: ActiveX for Windows CEv4 Tag: 123588

    - Getting Locale ID Hi, I'm on PPC (ok, Windows Mobile Professional). Under HKLM\nls you can see these two keys: SystemLCID = 1033 DefaultLCID = 1041 The SystemLCID depends on language of OS The DefaultLCID seems to depend on Regional settings. I'm trying to localize my application where the language should depend on OS, just like other built-in apps. I'd expect that GetSystemDefaultLCID would return the SystemLCID and GetUserDefaultLCID would return DefaultLCID. However, it seems both return DefaultLCID, which is dependent on Regional Settings, not language of OS. I could read out the registry key directely, but I am trying to do this properly with APIs. What's the right way to do this? I thought it was GetSystemDefaultLCID(), but that isn't the OS language and that makes my application use a different language than the other apps in the OS.

    - MFC handling WM_SETTINGCHANGE for SIP I'm trying to get an MFC program to correctly handle changes in orientation from Portrait to Landscape. The SDK's include a nice Win32 example ... HandleSIP ... that shows how to deal with WM_SETTINGCHANGE and the corresponding Activate, OnSize, etc. I'm wrestling with getting an equivalent program to work with MFC. With VC6 for desktop apps, there is an available handler in the ClassWizard for WM_SETTINGCHANGE that becomes CMainFrame::OnSettingChange. With a TRACE call, I can see this routine is reached, for example, when I change the display settings. However, with evc3, I've tried to do the equivalent, and the function isn't reached. I've also tried: BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMainFrame, CFrameWnd) //{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CMainFrame) ON_WM_CREATE() ON_WM_SETTINGCHANGE() //}}AFX_MSG_MAP END_MESSAGE_MAP() with void CMainFrame::OnSettingChange(UINT uFlags, LPCTSTR lpszSection) { CFrameWnd::OnSettingChange(uFlags, lpszSection); TRACE1("CMainFrame::OnSettingChange uFlags: %d\n", uFlags); } but it doesn't compile. How is this supposed to be done? Is there a link to sample code illustrating the "best practices"? I've mostly worked with MFC, and am more or less ignorant about the underlying Win32 calls going on.

    - GetSystemPowerState I am currently using VB in VS.NET to write an application on a Windows Mobile 5 device. I am trying to get the current power state so I can work out whether the device is in sleep mode or not so that I can then change it to IDLE or indeed wake the device up. However I have been trying to get GetSystemPowerState to work but it seems to only return the integer 87 at all times regardless of what I do. Maybe I am doing something wrong but would someone have a quick example of GetSystemPowerState in VB.NET that works on a Mobile 5 device? I expect I have the buffer, length or flag wrong, maybe all 3 but a working example would help a lot. thanks Tag: ActiveX for Windows CEv4 Tag: 123568

    - Dialogs and the amount of memory they need.... have a ppc application written in eVC++. It has about 8 dialogs. If I launch dialog 1 then dialog 2 then dialog 3 then dialog 4 and so on.. the application eventually crashes. BUT If I launch dialog 1 then come out of it (CDialog::OnOK() ) then launch dialog 2 and come out of it, then launch dialog 3 and come out of it etc...all is fine. This causes problems with the sequence in which the user goes through the dialogs, for example in dialog 3 if the user presses cancel then they should go back to dialog 2 etc... I know the problem has to do with each Dialog using a certain amount of memory and eventually the ppc device will run out but could someone please explain what is happening in a little more detail. For example, how can I calculate how much memory each dialog will need etc. Thanks Harry Tag: ActiveX for Windows CEv4 Tag: 123564

Hi,

Just a warning that i only have general experience in Visual Basic 6.
I have been given a project which requires an activeX control to be
written which will connect to an SQL Database and display the
information in a graph.

I can do this no problems in vb6, but my understanding is that it must
be written in C. Is this the case?

I have VB6 and Visual Studio 2005.

Can someone give me some advice/help or at least a pointer to some
useful information?

regards,

You definitely can't do it in VB6 or VB.NET. Depending on the version of CE
(4.0, 4.1 or 4.2) you probably need eVC and it must be done in C++.
