    - Is window mobile PPC 5 serial comm full duplex/half duplex? Hi, I am using window mobile 5 pocket pc platform. My serial application has two threads in which one is for keep reading data from external device and another is for sending data. The application nature is "while data is keep coming in, the application may have to send back the data to the external device" I control the reading thread with WaitCommEvent so that the thread doesn't need to call read api forever if the data hasn't arrived to the com port yet. Initially read thread is waiting on WaitCommEvent followed by the write thread sends data. The read thread is then notified that the data is arrived and keeps receiving data. The program works fine until this stage. The below problems occur follwed by the first initial successful communication. (1) After that, the read thread keeps reading and the write thread needs to send back the data. When I call WriteFile during the other thread is keep calling the ReadFile, the thread which calls WriteFile hangs in the WriteFile api. or , In some situation (2) The read thread calls again the WaitCommEvent. The other thread calls the WriteFile api and WriteFile api fail with the error of "ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE". or (3) The write thread calls the WriteFile and before returning from this api, the read thread calls the WaitCommEvent api. The WaitCommEvent fail with the error of "ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE". According to my observation: - Window mobile 5 serial driver doesn't support full-duplex that's why I could not call the serial APIs from different threads at the same time, is it right? - In this case, I cannot use the WaitCommEvent and i have to use keep calling the ReadFile api even though there is no data coming in. It makes this thread keep busy and it will effect the performance issue. Is there better way to control this situation? - If not support full-duplex, why at the initial time, calling WaitCommEvent from read thread first followed by WriteFile from write thread successful? Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot. Tag: Why was Backup/Restore dropped? Tag: 128058

    - Boost Library or <locale> support? I am trying to compile some of the Boost C++ library modules to our PocketPc application. Unfortunately, I hit the problem that some of the boost modules try to #include <locale>. But on the PocketPC SDK, I do not find this header. Is there a known workaround? Do you have a starting point to get more information about what else the PocketPC SDK is missing from the C++ standard? Thanks Norbert Unterberg Tag: Why was Backup/Restore dropped? Tag: 128053

    - Wifi not recognized by ConnMgrEstablishConnectionSync My native code app connects to my web service perfectly with gprs, and when wifi is turned on, ConnMgrEstablishConnectionSync returns CONNMGR_STATUS_CONNECTED but I get timeout errors.

    - Cant write to a file!!! Hi, I am trying to port my program TunePal: http://www.bryanduggan.com/TunePal.html To Windows Mobile Pocket PC to run on my Palm Treo 500v smartphone. I cant get this simple file writing code to work: void testFile() { FILE * fp = NULL; fp = fopen("\\temp\\test.txt", "w"); int r = fprintf(fp, "Hello world!!\n"); fclose(fp); HANDLE file; char * msg = "Hello world!"; CreateFile(L"\\temp\\test1.txt", GENERIC_WRITE, 0, 0, CREATE_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, file); WriteFile(file, msg, strlen(msg), 0, 0); CloseHandle(file); exit(0); } In both cases, the files are created correctly, but there is nothing in the contents (the length of the files is 0 bytes. Also the value of r is 0 after the call to fprintf. I have tried adding fflush before closing the files and writing files to various locations (internal memory and an SD card inserted in the device) In all cases, the files are created, but there is no contents. Ive also had problems with this program: http://classic.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=26010&associateid=9 I dont know if its related, but it wont write a file copy of my sim card. Is there some strange problem writing files on this device or am I going mad! Thanks, Bryan Tag: Why was Backup/Restore dropped? Tag: 128043

    - loading an existing pim.vol in emulator I am writing an app that looks at information in the Call History log. I realize that those entries are normally stored in the "pim.vol" db in the root of the device. I want to use the emulator to help debug the application. Q: How do get an existing pim.vol file (one from a real device that already has lots of real data) loaded into an emulator? I am able to copy the existing pim.vol onto my computer, so that isn't an issue. I think the issue is that when the emulator is running the pim.vol db is locked open and therefore I can't just "copy" the existing file over it. (I may be wrong, but I did have issues trying to delete the file so I assumed the WM OS had it locked open). Having real world data already on the device is helpful. If it was only contacts and other PIM data it wouldn't be an issue since syncing the emulator can populate all the other things in the pim db. Any advice? (I am using the WM6 SDK with the latest emulator.. and mainly working with Smartphone/standard) Regards, JavaDog Tag: Why was Backup/Restore dropped? Tag: 128031

    - Create mail with MAPI Hi, I'm trying to use MAPI to create a clone of an email in my IMAP account. I can create the email with the headers and body, and I can reproduce a simalar MAPI Message Id (PR_MESSAGE_DELIVERY_ID). My email appears on my pocketoulook Inbox folder but when I do an IMAP synchronization, my email is marked as "Download" after the synchronization finish. So I wonder what I'm doing wrong, I think that I forgotten some flags or some status when creating the email with MAPI. Does someone know what I missed or I forgot during the email creation with MAPI ? Best regards. Phil Tag: Why was Backup/Restore dropped? Tag: 128030

    - OnGetDispInfo memory managment Hi, I want to fill a ListCtrl in C++ with OwnerData. I am managing OnGetDispInfo() to provide the text information to display, but my question is, who manages the memory in the item.pszText ? I tryed to do in 2 different ways, and they both seem to work, or at least the text is displayed: Example 1- LV_DISPINFO* pDispInfo = (LV_DISPINFO*)pNMHDR; if (pDispInfo->item.mask & LVIF_TEXT) { CString Message = "HELLO"; lstrcpy(pDispInfo->item.pszText, Message); } Example 2- LV_DISPINFO* pDispInfo = (LV_DISPINFO*)pNMHDR; if (pDispInfo->item.mask & LVIF_TEXT) { TCHAR *Message; Message=MyGetTextBuffer(); //This returns a buffer with the text to display pDispInfo->item.pszText=Message; } My question is: In example 1, can I assume that the buffer pItem->pszText will have enough space for my text and that it will be freed when no longer necessary? In example 2, am I supposed to free the memory in pItem->pszText? If so, when is it safe for me to do it? Or what is the correct way to do it without memory leaks?

    - MAPI - How to detect Send/Receive complete? Hi, I'm writing an extension to my app that sends and receives emails. I've got as far as creating an email, attaching files and then forcing a send using MailSyncMessages, what I can't figure out is how to detect that the recieve part of the sync has been completed. I need to know this so that I can then check the Inbox for a certain file to be processed. I could keep checking the Inbox for files that I'm interested in (which may or may not arrive), but how would I know that the receive action had been completed and to stop looking?

    - GPRS and Ethernet connections Hi. We are having a problem with a Symbol MC9094 device. We've got a piece of software on the device which connects via GPRS to a webservice on our server for data transfer, which is working fine. we've also got ethernet cradles for these devices on the network and want to get the data transfer working through these cradles. the MC9094 device has iDockit software installed set to Ethernet to connect to the network, and there's 2 options here - Work or Internet connection. The problem we are having is that when the idockit software is set to work, it's connecting to the network, but not getting external internet access, so the device cant access our webservice (which is outside our network). when idockit is set to Internet, if the PDA has a GPRS connection idockit wont even connect to the network, so there must be a conflict (com ports?). our software will drop the GPRS connection when it senses the network connection and go through the cradle. if the GPRS connection isnt active when the idockit software tries to connect to the network it works fine and can access our webservice. Has anyone had any experience with this iDockit software, and could help us get this ethernet connection made with internet access while the GPRS connection is active? Thanks. Ian.

I use the CreateFile command to send the data and the ReadFile command to read the data. In booth commands I use the appropriate COM port.

    - how to measurewaveIn staggering Hello, I am developing a HAM radio digital modes chat-like software, which uses sound input and output as a modem. The application is for free at http://pocketdigi.sourceforge.net Some of the digital signal processing methods are quite CPU intensive. User may select mode, for which the CPU power is not sufficient. In worst case the waveIn messages are processed first, there will be no idle times so WM_PAINT will never be sent and the application will respond to user interaction extremely slowly if at all. I would like to detect this case and offer the user to switch to a less CPU intensive mode. My application is pure Win32 written in C. My first attempt was to detect cases when the main message loop does not idle for a long time. This seems to work quite well, but fails when I open a message box. System function DialogBox creates its own message loop and my detection of Idle state does not work anymore. I believe writing a custom replacement of DialogBox will work, but I am a bit worried that some dialog functions like common accelerators will not work. I expect troubles with Smartphones. On Desktop there are message hooks, but on Windows CE they are not officially supported. The other idea was to measure time the messages (mainly the waveIn messages) spend in application message queue. MSG structure contains time member. The idea was to compare MSG.time with GetTickCount(). This solution has the same problem. DialogBox creates its own message loop, over I have no control. After the messages are dispatched, MSG.time is no more available at window functions. The other idea is to use GetIdleTime(). Unfortunatelly this function is not officially supported by Windows CE. I know the function is there in coredll.dll, but I do not want to risk that my application will not work on some devices. Thanks in forward for any hint. Vojtech Tag: Why was Backup/Restore dropped?

    - Enable Word Completion I have a text box on a PocketPC (not a Smartphone) that I want to show word completion for. The issue is that I want to use the SIP word completion without having to use the SIP (the devices I am coding for have keys for entering text already). I cannot seem to find a way to access the word completion without having the SIP visible. Is there any way to programaticly get at the word completion or is it just too internal to the SIP? Note that this would be very easy on a Smartphone. But the features that do this are not there for the Pocket PC :( Tag: Why was Backup/Restore dropped? Tag: 127955

    - Reload NLS Hi, I replaced the default wince.nls file with another one. How can I force that file to be used instead of the one loaded from rom before FileSystem is active? There's a tool reloadnls.exe on the net that does this, but I need to know how it is done.. Any clues? Lisa. Tag: Why was Backup/Restore dropped? Tag: 127953

    - How do I determine the working set of a CE application? Hello, Does anyone here know what APIs I can call (or any code I can write) to determine the working set of a CE application? My ultimate goal is to determine the amount of free VM space I have between the address of the lowest loaded DLL, and the high watermark of VM memory use from the application (all the ram & vm space used by the EXE, Heap, and all thread stacks). So far I have determined that even if our process is supposed to have its own "32M" of virtual address space this is not the case -- several XIP DLLs are stepping into our process space because there's more than 32M's worth of XIP DLLs on the CE device. So, the lowest DLL is actually around the 17-18M mark. I know the EXE starts at 0x10000 (the 1st 64k block) but I can't measure how high things go. The only metric I have right now is by using toolhelp.dll to walk the heaps and determine the highest memory block -- but I still don't know how much space threads are using for stack, or where the stack blocks are located. Any help would be appreciated. Tag: Why was Backup/Restore dropped? Tag: 127948

    - setup dll problem Hi, Is it possible for a setup dll to depend on another dll that is dynamically linked to it ? My setup dll doesn't load and the cab installation fails. I have packed all the dll with it, but the installation still fails. I am accessing some C++ utility classes in the setup dll routines.

    - Dev Tools for Visual Studio 2002 Hi, I'd like to create an application for my Pocket PC. Unfortunately I've got an old Version of Visual Studio (2002, version 7.0.9466), and I can't find any project type for windows mobile. Which made me think it would be easier for me to develop using EVB. But the version of my Windows Mobile is 4.20.0 (build 14053), and if I've well understood (and from what I've tested) it isn't fully compatible with EVB (EVB won't connect to my ppc, the emulator won't work properly, etc.). Is there a legal way for me to update visual studio (without buying anything) so that It'll work with my PPC? Maybe a free framework Update will be enough? (I've already installed all Framework Updates from Windows Update but Visual Studio still shows 'Microsoft .Net Framework 1.0 Version 1.0.3705' when I click on 'About Microsoft Development Environment'. Thanks for your help! Jérémie Tag: Why was Backup/Restore dropped? Tag: 127942

    - Migrating from Evb to VS2008 Hello everyone, I have to migrate application on a PDA from eVb to VS2008 someone knows if there are tools that allow me at least not having to redraw any form? Thanks in advance Paolo Tag: Why was Backup/Restore dropped? Tag: 127940

I just noticed that ActiveSync does not provide a backup/restore function for
Pocket PCs after PPC2003. Why is this? Is there some alternate backup facility
in WM5 and WM6?
