    - ADOCE on PPC with VS 2008 Basic .NET Want to convert EVB programs using ADOCE on Pocket PC to VS 2008 VB .NET. I am trying and loving VS 2008 Pro TRIAL on XP HOME. Works, but slow of course. Can't install SQL Server CE on XP Home. For trial purposes I do NOT want to install XP PRO yet. Can I still convert and use the ADOCE code with some changes to see if the app would work? Any other free or trial SQL DB to use during the trial? I have MySQL on desktop but I don't think there's a mobile version. Tag: Axim N300 series PDAs, vanished from the earth? Tag: 127257

    - sequence photo in windows mobile 5.0 hi, i am using hp ipaq 6965. i wrote a code for accessing the built-in camera.. the code is as follows int i = 0; CameraCaptureDialog cameraCaptureDialog = new CameraCaptureDialog(); cameraCaptureDialog.Owner = this; cameraCaptureDialog.Title = "Take Photo"; cameraCaptureDialog.Resolution = new Size(640, 480); cameraCaptureDialog.Mode = CameraCaptureMode.Still; cameraCaptureDialog.InitialDirectory = "\\Storage Card\\imgDir"; while (i <5) { if (DialogResult.OK == cameraCaptureDialog.ShowDialog()) { cameraCaptureDialog.DefaultFileName = "img_" + DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MM-yy_HH-mm-ss") + ".jpg"; } i++; } My idea was to take 5 photos continuosly.(Sequence photo) it is working .. but some problems are there. 1. Camera is opening in portrait mode (but i want it to be in landscape mode) 2. Camera is going to standby after 15 secs. (i want to extend this time) 3. To take 5 photos its taking me atleast 3 minutes (Long delay!!!!!) I don't know how, after taking each photo, the camera is disappearing and reappearing (Cause of delay...) is there any way i can reduce the delay??? can i open the camera in landscape mode?? please help.

    - Problem with CeRunAppAtEvent Hi, I have been using the API CeRunAppAtEvent () to launch my application when the device wakes up. This works fine for most cases. But, recently I noticed a strange problem. On a data enabled SIM (GPRS) when I browse, that is, when I am retrieving data, when I switch off the device and again switch it on (wakeup) , the application is not launched!! When I investigated further, I noticed that after the page has loaded, if I switch off and then wakeup the device, my application is launched!! Can anybody shed some light on this? Is there any other alternative? Tag: Axim N300 series PDAs, vanished from the earth? Tag: 127247

    - How to implement dual initiation? I need to require two simultaneous actions to trigger an event on a Windows Mobile 5 device. I want the user to have to press a trigger button while a hardware button is being held down. So the user would press and hold a "ARM" hardware button down, then click a "FIRE" button to fire the device. The "ARM" button would enable the "FIRE" button as long as it was held down. If the "ARM" button is released, the "FIRE" button would be disabled and have no effect. An alternative would be to leave the "FIRE" button enabled, but on click it would check the state of the "ARM" button and would fire if the "ARM" button was being held down. Otherwise it would display a message to the user instead of firing. I'm hoping there's a simple solution, but I'm new to Mobile devices and the solution isn't obvious to be. I think in a PC app I would just set a Boolean on buttondown and clear it on buttonup, but that option doesn't seem availalbe on Mobile devices. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    - Raw IR Issue Hi, i'm developing an application for IPAQ HX2490 (Windows Mobile 5.0) that communicates through raw IR with a IR controlled by a PIC microcontroller. In the first three parts of the operation, i can receive data fine, but on the last one the handheld just seems to ignore the data that is being received, it doesn't receive anything. Is there something related to the data that is being sent to the pocket PC? It is a byte array {0x10, 0x06, 0x16, 0x16}. I'm using port 2 for the communication. But when i communicate with a desktop PC with a serial Infrared running exactly the same application in the PIC, everything works fine! I can't realize what's going on there. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Tag: Axim N300 series PDAs, vanished from the earth? Tag: 127188

    - Suggestions for PocketPC SDK for 1D/2D Barcode Scanning via For many years I have wanted a solution to a problem I have by using my PocketPC as a Barcode Scanner. Some of the latest nifty solutions I have seen lately have little applications that use the built-in Camera (in what appears to be in video mode, not still camera mode) to scan a 2D barcode, which makes a chime sound then passes a user to a web site on the PPC (the web site being encoded in the 2D Barcode). I would love to pretty much do the exact same thing except capture the image (save the barcode), display the decoded text (and write it to a text file with a time stamp) and trigger audio recording. Basically using the device for capturing a tonn of barcodes while recording audio. Does anyone know where a good place to start for this would be for Visual Studio 2008? .NET (C# or VB.NET) development is my forte. Are there any hardware considerations I have to keep mindful off? I will need several PocketPC's running this and have to collect the stored data at the end of the day. ANY suggestions or directions would be greatly appreciated!

    - DirectShow: IAMCameraControl Hi, I'm developing camera capture application for WM 5.0/6.0 using direct show. I have to implement zoom in/out feature so I've tried to use IAMCameraControl interface. Here is the snippet: long flags = 0; long zoom_value = 0; CComPtr<IAMCameraControl> pCameraControl; m_pVideoCaptureFilter->QueryInterface(IID_IAMCameraControl, (void**)&pCameraControl); CHK(pCameraControl->Get(CameraControl_Zoom, &zoom_value, &flags)); Logger::LogDebug("current zoom = %d\n", zoom_value); if ((zoom_value + 50) <= 600) { zoom_value = zoom_value + 50; CHK(pCameraControl->Set(CameraControl_Zoom, zoom_value, CameraControl_Flags_Manual)); } Device (samsung SGH i 600) has the following zoom range: min = 0 max = 600 default = 10 step = 10 Code works without any exceptions and errors but it has no effect. I enumerated all possible combinations of flags and values, stopped graph before setting new value etc.... but with no luck.. Also tried on another device Qtek 8310 (it has only 2 possible zoom value) but the same result as for samsung. Could someone point me to right solution/code example or possibly remove mistakes from my code :) AFAIK there are some posts from ppl which faced with same problem but I didnt see any useful reply.

    - Newbie Questions: Device Lock, Date Time Sync Hi Scenario: Company I'm working for currently has PALM devices running software developed in Satellite forms. Management are looking to very quickly roll out Pocket PC devices (due to shortages of PALM devices) running the existing software with a view to later re-writing/replacing the application. I have Sat Forms running on the device and have modified the current sync routines in the desktop application. What I need to do now is: 1. Lock the devices so that the users will only be able to run the Sat Forms application and use the phone. 2. Lock the phone so that only specifed numbers can be dialled. 3. Ensure that the date and time on the device are set to that on the PC when the devices are synched. The current plan is *not* to have them set as partners but I don't think a guest sync updates the date/time. BTW New devices are WM5. Any thoughts on how best to do this?

    - Do we *need to* dynamically link gx.dll? Hi again, I made a note a while ago about a potential bug that would occur if my app installed to a device that didn't have gx.dll in the \Windows directory. The recommendation seemed to be that if I'm using the GAPI (which I am) that I should include gx.dll with my distribution and store it in the same folder as my application. (See the end of this post for reference info). So, my question is, if gx.dll isn't included on the device in \Windows, does my app need to manually handle that case and dynamically load gx.dll, or does the O/S automatically do something like: 1) Load app and sees that it requires gx.dll 2) Checks \Windows folder for gx.dll 3) If gx.dll isn't found in \Windows, check application's folder for gx.dll 4) If found, load the gx.dll found within the application folder Or am I just supposed to always statically/dynamically link to my own copy of gx.dll and assume that it won't be in the Windows directory? The above makes sense to me, but I'm not sure if that's what happens, since it seems a little hand-wavy. I tried to delete gx.dll from the emulator to test this out but WM wouldn't have it. Here's one of the quotes I wrote down. I have two others, but I didn't save their links for some reason: "On PocketPCs and Smartphones, a specific library called "gx.dll" needs to be placed in the \Windows folder or the application folder of your program. Newer devices have this DLL built in, but some older devices does not. If the file gx.dll is not available CGapiDisplay::OpenDisplay will return GDERR_NOGAPI. The file gx.dll is included in the GapiDraw SDK in the "misc" folder. It is recommended that you always ship gx.dll with your application." Reference: http://www.develant.com/docs/gapidraw/36/gapidisplay-main.htm Would anyone happen to know what goes on behind the scenes (or at least what Microsoft expects us to do) in the case of a missing gx.dll?

    - How to determine if emulator has been hard reset? Hi, This is a repeat of a question from a few years ago: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer/browse_thread/thread/2d462b038232464a/9728cd09efb4294f?lnk=gst&q=reset The answer there was to check HKLM\Comm for the BootCount value. There is no such value in anywhere in the WM6 registry. The only keys in the registry with "boot", "count", or "reset" anywhere in their names are: \System\Shell\Booted \init\BootVars \Comm\Security\LASSD\AuthReset None of these keys contains any subkeys or values relevant to the number of times the unit has been rebooted. So how can I verify that the emulator has performed a hard boot? thanks! Tag: Axim N300 series PDAs, vanished from the earth? Tag: 127165

    - SIP menu disable menu item. Hello EB, I'm trying to disable the "Options..." menu item in the SIP's menu that pops up on the Pocket PC, for both - Pocket PC 2003 and WM5.0. I'm unable to get the handle to the menu for the SIP's menu. WM_COMMAND messages aren't fired on the click event which occurs when I select the "Options..." menu item. What I've done is: //Get the handle to the SIP's window. hSIP = FindWindow(TEXT("MS_SIPBUTTON"), TEXT("MS_SIPBUTTON")) ; // Get the menu associated with this window. hMenu = (HMENU) SendMessage(hSIP, SHCMBM_GETMENU, 0, 0); // Get the sub-menu for the SIP button's menu. hSubMenu = GetSubMenu(hMenu, 0); // Tried other position values too. NULL ref. returned. I also tried obtaining the system menu - using the GetSystemMenu(...) API, but I don't get any sub-menu on the menu handle that I receive on this call. Where am I going wrong? How can I disable "Options..." for good? Any help in this regard will be appreciated. Thank you. Warm regards, Amit. Tag: Axim N300 series PDAs, vanished from the earth? Tag: 127157

    - Practices for packaging/distributing apps to WM 5/6/2003SE? Hi, I was wondering what everyone's general practice was for packaging/distributing applications to multiple platforms? I should clarify that... I'm currently working on the setup for my application. I have a cabinet file being built, and a simple Windows-based Setup.exe to go with it (currently made with EzSetup [side-question: is there anything better?]). But making the .cab/Setup.exe brings up a bunch of questions about how to package and distribute my application. Namely: 1) Should I be building one cab/setup.exe per supported platform and ask the user to choose their O/S before downloading? (In this case, I'm targeting WM 2003 SE, WM 5 and WM 6). 2) Should I create a custom Setup.exe that houses all three .cab files and automatically chooses which one to install at runtime, depending on the user's system? 3) Should I just create a WM 2003 SE version and distribute that? If so, i) Is that safe? Is this what other people are doing? ii) Are there any potential/specific issues with cross-compatibility that I should watch out for? iii) Is it good enough just to recompile and run the unit tests for each O/S, or is there a specific set of extra tests I should be doing in this case. iv) Are there any performance or visual differences between running a WM 2003/5/6 app on a WM 5/6 device? ...By the way, this is for a native C++ application, using ATL and a GUI (I'd prefer to stay away from .NET for the setup). It seems as though I should go with number 3, but then I start to wonder if that's the best way to go about it. I wouldn't mind making a specialized setup, as in number 2, if it means that the product performs and/or looks better on my customer's devices. As far as I can tell, most of the functions work on both all of the above platforms. But I did notice a change in my Settings App: my dialog sizes itself differently between the WM 2003 SE and WM 5 compiles. It's actually a dialog window over a tab group. Both ran on a WM 5 device. I'm not sure if that has to do with the ORIENTATION_AWARE define. I didn't use the pre-generated ATL stuff for my project... could that be an issue? Other than that, SecureZeroMemory() isn't supported on WM 2003 SE. To sum up, I'm still pretty new at this. I was wondering if there's some common/conventional wisdom about how to deploy to multiple O/S's? If anyone would be so kind as to share your experiences about this, it would be very much appreciated. Thank you very much, Chris Writely Tag: Axim N300 series PDAs, vanished from the earth?

    - Bizarre error message from SerialPort.open I have an app that talks to COM8 (the "Outgoing" Bluetooth port on a PDA. Periodically, when it has previously been in use, it seems, I get the error "The port 'COM8:' does not exist." on sport.open(). Apart from the fact that COM8 clearly does exist, where does "COM8:" come from? I definitely defined it as "sport.PortName = "COM8"" - so (a) why does it think it doesn't exist, and (b) where does that colon in the port name come from?

    - Sound output using PPCSound Library http://www.pocketpcdn.com/libraries/ppcsound.html Hi, Anyone used the PPCSound libary at this site. Input capture works straight off but can't get any output of the speaker, I've put breakpoints in the wavethread.cpp functions CWaveOutThread::ThreadProc and am getting lots of MM_WOM_DONE messages. So obviously something is being played. Are there any bugs in it or changes that need to be made. I checked the m_pWaveHeaderArray[iLastIndex] lpdata area to check there is data as well! I have my own waveout implementation which i don't think is as good as the PPCSound libary and i can play sound so i know my device is ok etc so i there must be something fundamental i'm missing for this not to work.

    - Do we need to build for MIPS, SH for WM 2003+? Hi, I've been trying to find confirmation on the practice of building for MIPS and SH processors in Visual Studio 2005, instead of just building for ARM. The closest thing I've found is from a post here by Mr. Robert E. Zaret (see below). The reason why I'm a bit confused is a bit long-winded, but anyway, it's mainly because I'm also doing research on how to create a Windows-based setup program that automatically copies and runs a .cab file on Windows Mobile devices. It seems as though all of the examples expect the .ini file going into CEAppMgr.exe to contain multiple .cab files, one per architecture. This includes newer, 2005+ examples. Could anyone confirm the following quote? It's not that I don't believe Mr. Zaret, it's just that I haven't found anything official on this, plus the issue above. If it helps, I'm mainly interested in building for WM 2003 and up. Quote: "Microsoft controls the specifications for the Pocket PC platform (called Windows Mobile Classic and Windows Mobile Professional, as of Windows Mobile 6). As of Pocket PC 2002, they have decreed that the platform supports only ARM-compatible CPUs. Also, the SDKs Microsoft provides do not distinguish among ARM-compatible CPUs. So, unless you are supporting some other platform(s), you have no need or ability to support CPUs other than ARM.

    - Updating DataRow throws Exception 0xC0000005 Hi guys, I'm facing a very puzzling problem and thought maybe someone here could help. It's been driving me nuts, really... Maybe it's something dumb that I'm just not realizing. I'm developing a Windows CE application (to be deployed in Windows CE 4.2 core) and my emulator is running Windows CE .NET v4.10 (build 908). I don't have a device with me now where I could test the software, unfortunately (that's still being arranged). One of the code bits is a button to consolidate data, merging rows in a DataTable: [CODE] private void btnConsolidar_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { for( int j=0; j < dataTable.Rows.Count; j++ ) { DataRow row1 = dataTable.Rows[j]; String ean = (String)row1["ean"]; String cod = (String)( ( row1["codigo"] == null ) ? "" : row1["codigo"] ); int idx; for( idx=j+1; idx < dataTable.Rows.Count; idx++ ) { DataRow row2 = dataTable.Rows[idx]; if( ((String)row2["ean"]) == ean || (cod != "" && ((String)row2["codigo"]) == cod )) { long q1 = long.Parse((string)row1["quant"]); long q2 = long.Parse((string)row2["quant"]); if( bConferencia ) { if( (string)row1["quant1"] == "0" ) { string q = (string)row2["quant1"]; //row1["quant1"] = q; dataTable.Rows[j]["quant1"] = q; // CRASH! } if( (string)row1["quant2"] == "0" ) //row1["quant2"] = (string)row2["quant2"]; dataTable.Rows[j]["quant2"] = (string)row2["quant2"]; } row1["quant"] = q1+q2; // remove a fileira copiada dataTable.Rows.RemoveAt( idx ); //dataTable.AcceptChanges(); // row1 = dataTable.Rows[j]; // compensa a fileira removida idx--; } } } dgItens.DataSource = dataTable; dgItens.Refresh(); } [/CODE] Please forgive the commented extra code, I've been adding and removing scaffolding looking for the problem. What this does is something like this: suppose you have three rows, thus: A 0 0 7 B 4 3 0 A 0 0 3 C 1 5 0 A 2 2 0 It consolidates the same products to: A 2 2 10 B 4 3 0 It works when you only have one product repeated (i.e., only one row1 is updated). However, if there are several repeated products, A 0 0 7 B 0 0 5 A 2 2 0 B 4 3 0 the system crashes with a native exception (code 0xC0000005, which research shows is an illegal memory access exception) when I try to update the second row in the table (line marked "CRASH!", above). Note that the first update goes well! Also, if I set it up with only one product repeated, press the button, set it up with another product repeated, and press the button again, it works. I'm guessing it has to do with the way DataTable updates its rows, but so far, I've had no luck figuring the problem out. I'll greatly appreciate any help I can get! Thanks in advance, Shade.

    - Unable to complete install of ActiveSync 4.5 on a W2k3 R2 server I have tried upgrading a working 4.2 Active Sync to 4.5 (required by the WM6) on 2 servers (w2k3 R2). The installation never completes. Each time I click on ActiveSync it brings up the installation dialog and performs a series of steps only to get to the starting point when it is done. I have tried uninstalling, rebooting and installing again with no success. What are the steps to get this fixed? Tag: Axim N300 series PDAs, vanished from the earth? Tag: 127104

    - try/catch Hi, My debug output shows an exception when using CArchive::ReadString() beyond the end of the file. I thought that by handling exceptions, I could prevent the debug output for them: CFile f; if (f.Open(_T("\\Temp\\test.txt"), CFile::modeRead)) { CArchive ar(&f, CArchive::load); CString s; try { while (ar.ReadString(s)) { DEBUGMSG(1, (_T("ReadString: %s\r\n"), s)); } } catch (CArchiveException* e) { e->ReportError(); // never gets called! e->Delete(); } } However, output is still shown for CArchiveException::endOfFile, and my exception handler is never called. Yes, I provided the /EHsc (and tried deprecated /GX) compiler options, set via Project Settings/C++/Exception Handling in VS 2005. Any clues? Lisa Tag: Axim N300 series PDAs, vanished from the earth?

It can be set in pocket outlook (within options of an open message), so I assume you must be able to set in code. Thanks in advance. Jason. Tag: Axim N300 series PDAs, vanished from the earth?

My query is I would like to edit a HTML page contents before displaying it in to the HTML control box.

    - Database for a Pocket PC - Desktop syncing application I am planning to build a utiltiy for Pocket PC and sync it's data with it's counterpart on the desktop. Something in the lines of Illium eWallet. What is the best database to use for this type of applications? I can use SQL Server mobile on PDA but the SQL Server on the desktop will be overkill for my targer audience. Access will be the right choice for desktop. I don't see any solid solution for Access on Pocket PC. An idea is to build a sync application to sync data between SQL Server CE and Access on the desktop. Or build a custom binary data file. Any suggestions please? Tag: Axim N300 series PDAs, vanished from the earth? Tag: 127084

    - How do I make an "upgradeable" MSI-File? Hi there, I am stuck with updating a previous version of my application :) I pack all needed files into a cabinet file and build than a MSI-File around it (via the Deployment Project in Visual Studio 2008). Now, if I start the setupt (the MSI) file and a previous version (or the same) is already installed it tells me this fact and than exits. What can I do to upgrade my application with an MSI file? And where can I specify the version of my application (Since the "version" of the MSI means the version of the installer which should be 1.0.0 I guess)?

    - how do I get the executable path. G'day, I'm building a pocket PC app using .NET 2.0 I and I wish for my program to know its "executable path", the directory where its executable resides. The usual "Application.ExecutablePath" that I would use in a windows app does not exist, and Google turned up more noise than signal when I looked for an alternative. Any help much appreciated.

Where can I buy an Acer N300 PDA, or an Acer N310 PDA, or and Acer
N311 PDA? Searched on ebay for these PDAs, can't find one at all. I
want these particular models because I know these models have a USB
host port that works with FTDI's USB to serial TTL converter cables,
specifically, TTL-232R-3V3.

I'm in the States, but am looking everywhere.
