    - Registry settings for Device menu options. Hi all, I know I can disable (until a hard-reset is performed) the Items that appear in the today section (homepage of the device) 'Start->Settings->Today->Items(tab)', and also Main menu and 'New' menu option in 'Start->Settings->Menus->Start Menu (tab), and New Menu (Tab). To disable these everytime a device is hard-reset is a pain in the butt :), so would like to have a reg file that could be run on the device to disable these menu settings in one go after the device is hard-reset. Does anyone know where in the registry these settings may reside? Thanks Tryst Tag: Best API for SQL CE and C++ / MFC Tag: 112542

    - EMAIL2 : configuring EMAIL2 account with Configuration Service Provider, polling problem (LINGER parameter) Hello we are experiencing a problem with our Pocket PC App : The app is actually designed to work on a Qtel9100 We want ton configure Pocket Outlook with a 30min polling for an account we are creating in the app, like this : public bool doOutlookConfiguration(EmailApplication ea) { try { String wszAccountXml = "<wap-provisioningdoc>" + " <characteristic type=\"EMAIL2\">" + " <characteristic type=\"{DC88846A-11D3-444d-A8DD-00A15086346E}\">" + " <parm name=\"CONNECTIONID\" value=\"{C1D06580-B364-45ec-8421-5ACF34129C58}\"/>" + " <parm name=\"SERVICENAME\" value='" + ea.getEmailBoxName() + "' />" + " <parm name=\"SERVICETYPE\" value=\"POP3\"/>" + " <parm name=\"INSERVER\" value='" + ea.getInServer() + "' />" + " <parm name=\"OUTSERVER\" value='" + ea.getOutServer() + "' />" + " <parm name=\"AUTHNAME\" value='" + ea.getAuthenticationName() + "' />" + " <parm name=\"AUTHSECRET\" value='" + ea.getAuthenticationPassword() + "' />" + " <parm name=\"DOMAIN\" value='" + ea.getEmailDomain() + "' />" + " <parm name=\"REPLYADDR\" value='" + ea.getReplyAddress() + "' />" + " <parm name=\"LINGER\" value=\"30\"/>" + " <parm name=\"KEEPMAX\" value='-1' />" + " <parm name=\"DWNDAY\" value='-1' />" + " <parm name=\"AUTHREQUIRED\" value='1' />" + " <parm name=\"RETRIEVE\" value='-1' />" + " </characteristic>" + " </characteristic>" + "</wap-provisioningdoc>"; ConfigWrapper.ProcessXml(wszAccountXml, ConfigFlag.Process); return true; } catch (Exception exp) { ... } } Everything looks fine (i.e, the parameters are flushed, we can list them ...). In the account property page, we see the good values : send /receive every 30 mins, checkbox checked. The problem is the application never goes to check and send mails, it never connects. The only way to make it work is to go in the account's property page, leave all the parameters, tap next, next, next, OK, and then, outlook starts polling. Currently, we try to save the registry : - before editing the property page - after editing the registry page We will try to make a 'diff' on these two dumps to see any key difference between them. We want to resolve this problem, so if anybody has a clue for us, it would be greatly appreciated. Thx in advance Frederic Bertin Tag: Best API for SQL CE and C++ / MFC Tag: 112540

    - Porting WIN32 App to CE. Hi All, We currently have a client-server application written in Win32 and we're in the process of trying to create a slimmed down version of the client software for the Pocket PC. Our application is a fair size, and uses a few in-house developed DLLs for drawing areas etc. We want to be able to use code contained in these .DLLs on our Pocket PC app to avoid multiple copies of the same code in two projects. We're using VS2003.NET for the Win32 development, and eVC 4.0 for the PPC stuff. Has anyone been in these shoes before? How have they solved the problem? I thought of creating a similar .DLL in my PPC application, and actually link in the sources files from the original.DLL while adding #ifdefs to the .DLL to include functions that I require, then compile them using the evC compiler, realizing that not all the calls we make the .DLLs will be available in the PPC environment. This could be quite messy, but would eliminate the maintenence issue. I realize that some of the calls that the Windows .DLL will make, will not be available in the PPC Edition. We will need to address these individually I think. Any suggestions? Thank you very much. Mike Tag: Best API for SQL CE and C++ / MFC Tag: 112536

    - Windows Mobile and closing applications Using a Windows Mobile 5 device, I run an application that I wrote that just displays a form with one button. I also run File Explorer and then put the device in the cradle which starts Active Sync. I then proceed to hit the X in the upper right hand corner of those three applications. Then, go into Settings..System..Memory..Running Programs and I see all three programs are still running. This seems odd to me because I "closed" those applications and there is no way, that I can see, to "alt-tab" through the running applications once I "close" them. Is there a special way to close applications under Windows Mobile 5? Tag: Best API for SQL CE and C++ / MFC Tag: 112523

    - Force Pocket Outlook to reload pim.vol Hi everyone, I'm kind of manipulating the pim.vol file, and when I copy one over the original, and the try to modify it (using the any api), I can see that the file used by pocket outlook is not the one I just copied. One easy solution is to soft reset the pocket pc, and then pocket outlook read the new pim.vol, but this is kind of boring. So my question is : does any one know how to tell to pocket outlook to reload its pim.vol file with having to soft-reset. P.S : I've already tried to kill the poutlook process, but then everything is going so unstable that I don't think this is the way. Thanks for your help guys.

    - Using regions Hi I'm trying to create a polygon window using SetWindowRgn(). But a problem is, I can't use CreatePolygonRgn(). They say at windows CE, they only support CreateRectRgn().

    - CAB installation and setting InstallDir at the last second (mobile When creating a CAB file you are required to set the InstallDir attribute under the [CEStrings] section of the CAB .inf file. My problem is that I'm not sure where I want to install the CAB file until the last possible second, as the CAB file is being installed. This is well after the CAB file has been built.

You would set the registry value for your app, call "wceload.exe /noaskdest", and then wceload would look at this registry key for where to install the contents of your CAB. (This is described at http://blog.opennetcf.org/afeinman/CommentView,guid,1de2284c-a65e-417c-a130-1bd5acd4ad3d.aspx) This no longer works in Windows Mobile 5.0. I know for sure that wceload still looks at that registry key, because if you just call "wceload.exe" it will install all the CABs listed in that key. The problem is that no longer overrides the InstallDir attribute. I've tried all combinations of command line switches (e.g. /silent, /noui) as well as signing the CAB, to no avail. In my search for an answer I found that you can create a setup.dll to accompany your CAB, which has four functions called by wceload. One of the functions is Install_Init, described at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/APISP/html/sp_ce_setup_install_init.asp One of the parameters passed in is the install directory. I thought it'd be sweet if I could modify that in memory and accomplish my goal. This doesn't seem possible though because it's specified as an [in] parameter. Anyone have any suggestions?

    - Re Rotate Screen hi I already had try those registry settings, in case it would have helped....! but I guess I don't have a proper windows mobile version. Anyway thanks, it's good to know that the code can work and that the problem does't come from there. I'll use one of those bulky screen rotation softwares that fortunately work on my pda. bye hi I had also once did programs regarding the screen orientaion.... Your code works well in my device [ i-mate K-Jam ] works on windows mobile 5.0.. ...and... ChangeDisplaySettingsEx() will work on Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later. To make your changes permanent store them in registry. There are two values in registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\Rotation key where the system takes its orientation mode on startup: -> Angle - DWORD value holding rotation angle in degrees. Valid values are 0, 90, 180, 270. -> LandscapeMode - DWORD value holding flag of landscape mode. Valid values: 0 (portrait mode) and 1 (landscape mode). Note that changes made using such calls are not persistent, after soft-reset display mode will return to the previous state. --------------= Posted using GrabIt =---------------- ------= Binary Usenet downloading made easy =--------- -= Get GrabIt for free from http://www.shemes.com/ =- Tag: Best API for SQL CE and C++ / MFC Tag: 112465

    - WM5 shell - set input method w/IME disabled? If I disable the IME in my app, sending EM_INPUTMODE messages doesn't work, but the user can still toggle the device's current input method using a hardware key. Does this mean there's a way I could programmatically toggle/set the device's current input method without requiring that the IME is enabled? Thanks.

    - Turning down volume of Windows Media Player while playing wave-file Hi, I am in the process of adding sound alerts to an existing Pocket PC application developed in evc 3.0. The application is targeting Pocket PC 2002 devices and higher. The application is used in scenarios where users might be listening to music from the media player, so I need to turn down the volume of the media player to maybe 10% or just mute the sound, while playing the desired wave files. I have been doing a lot of research into this but simply can not figure it out. Any help would be geatly appreciated. Sincerely, Steffen L Tag: Best API for SQL CE and C++ / MFC Tag: 112444

    - PocketPC Phone Emulator - Roaming network? Hello, I've noticed the Pocket PC Phone Emulator (WM 5.0) includes a "Fake Radio" part (It registers on "Fake Network"). I've tried to see what other networks are available and also found "Fake Roaming Network" and "Fake Denied Network". However, I can't register the phone on "Fake Roaming Network" (trying to register it on the "denied" network obviusly fails). Is this a bug that can be fixed? It would be great to be able to test a phone based application on a fake roaming network. Thank you. Tag: Best API for SQL CE and C++ / MFC Tag: 112443

    - COM APIs problem, Unable to intercept some APIs I have some prob. related to COM APIs. when i write data it writes successfully but when i tried to read from the port COM1 it flashes Error 998 which is "Invalid access to memory location." Main function calls which i used are as: m_hCom = CreateFile(_T("COM1"),GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, 0); iWriteRes = WriteFile (m_hCom , pWBuf, nBytesToWrite, &cbWritten, NULL); iReadRes = ReadFile (m_hCom, pRBuf, nBytesToRead, &cbRead, NULL); And also when i try to debug this application through my client-server app. then my client code intercepts all COM related APIs except the 3 viz. WriteFile(Although it shows that write is successful),ReadFile(Fails), CloseHandle. can anybody tell me whats wrong happening here???

    - Running a database (.sdf) file from an SD card. Hi all, I have an application running on a MC50 pocket PC 2003 device, where the database file itself is consuming a large amount of space on the device. Would it be a feasible solution to put the database file (.sdf) onto an SD card, and have the application talk to this database file? Are there any performance hits with this? Do SD cards degarde slightly after each read that is performed on the device? Any help appriciated. Thanks Tryst Tag: Best API for SQL CE and C++ / MFC Tag: 112433

    - Get label for preset assigned program to button (ex. : <Context Menu>) Hello, I developed a button setting window who display the list of all buttons with their associated programs. In this list the user must choose one button to assign it with my program. I don't know how to obtain the label of the preset assigned programs who are beetwen <> (example : <Context Menu>). I think that there is a link between this label and the value "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C1\Flags" in the registry. Is somebody know a Windows API who return this label ? Thank.
