    - Tool bar to hold many buttons Hi, My app needs to have a main menu, and few tool bar buttons with drop-down menus. As the push style buttons does not display context menu I'm using dropdown style buttons, which occupy double the space that a push button occupies. So, I'm unable to see all the buttons on the tool bar, where the space for one on the right most is covered by SIP icon. I need to show exactly 7-8 buttons, where apart from main menu and SIP icon only the first 4 drop-down style buttons are shown. Can any one suggest what I need to do to support some sort of scrolling for the tool bar, so that I can be able to access all the buttons on the tool bar??

    - Media Player problem in windows explorer mobile I am developing an application that needs to play an audio with some synchronized images using Internet Explorer Mobile. My pocket PC works with Windows Mobile 5.0 and WMP 10. The application already works on Windows XP. I can play the audio and synchronize the images. I am not able to modify the playing sequence and I cannot jump to the next slide or repositioning the player cursor. What I found is that Media Player doesn't generate the ScriptCommand event and the CurrentPosition property seems to be read only. My code is: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> function init() { load_slide (Images[0], 0) wmp.URL = "http://192.168.1.29/orvieto/guideppc/ S00001-000AV-00987-105006/01284.asf"; wmp.controls.Play (); } ... </script> <body onload="init()"> ... <OBJECT ID="wmp" CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" TYPE="application/x-oleobject" width="160" height="48" > <PARAM name="ShowStatusBar" value="true" /> </OBJECT> ... </body> Thank's Mario Tag: Blocking waiting message box ?

    - Behaviour of SetTimer I call SetTimer from my application to create a timer, which calls a callback function when it elapses. However I have discovered that the callback function is only evoked when either my application is the active thread, or when the active thread is changed (such as when a new program is opened, or a program is closed). When my program is running in the background and another thread is active, the callback function of the timer is not evoked, even after the timed has elapsed. Is there any way around this problem? I am programming for Smart Phones on Windows Mobile 5 using Visual Studio 2005, although I am sure a solution would work on Pocket PC's as well. Thanks. Tag: Blocking waiting message box ?

    - Creating a transparent Control Hi I would like to create a transparent Control in C#. I am creating a offscreenImage and use ImageAttributes backgroundAttr = new ImageAttributes(); backgroundAttr.SetColorKey(Color.Black, Color.Black); So that every black area in the offscreenImage is completely transparent. My only problem is, that the window manager is not redrawing the part of the parent window underneath my transparent control. If the parentWindow is changing the transparent part of my control remains as it was at the time i added it to the parentWindow. Invalidating the area of the parent underneath the control does not work.. Any idea how to tell the parent window to draw underneath the control? Thanks Chris Tag: Blocking waiting message box ?

    - Porting a WinXP-DLL to WinCe Hello, I need to send data via USB host port on my Acer N30 with a program running on the PDA (no PC connected). I found libusb on http://libusb-win32.sourceforge.net for generic USB access. A C#-Wrapper is available. The libusb puts a libusb0.dll in Windows/System32 on my desktop PC, while the C#-Wrapper is in the Framework directory. Before I spend hours testing, I assume that using the very same libusb0.dll doesn't work on the ARM-CPU of the PocketPC because it's hardware dependent and the C#-Wrapper isn't. Do I need to re-compile libusb? Which Compiler can do that? I have Visual Studio 2005, but cannot find any other CPU-Option than x86 and x64. Can eMbedded Visual Tools do that? I'm a little confused of these MS product names. For any help, thank you very much! Sasha Tag: Blocking waiting message box ? Tag: 122623

    - Signing corporate applications .. problem again Hi, According one of my previous post, I have to add certificates to stores in the device using an autorun.exe. using this autorun.exe, I added a custom corporate certificate in the Root, CA, SPC, Unpriviledge and Priviledge stores (not sure if all are required). Later in the execution of the autorun.exe process, I run wceload.exe /silent /noaskdest /delete 0 "mycabfile.cab" in order to deploy the app. This cab file is signed with the certificate that is added in the stores. However, when the wceload.exe command is ran, nothing happen and the ExitCode result of this execution is 0x80070005. If I manually execute the cab file, I get the warning prompt about the not-known publisher. If I accept to install the cab file here, and I run the autorun.exe again, the file installs this time, the exit code is 0 (ok). Theses clues let me think that even if my certificate is in the correct stores, it is still not recognized correctly... Does anyone have an idea how can I correct this ? Thanks, Steve Tag: Blocking waiting message box ? Tag: 122604

Since then, I have removed that application (using Remove Programs in Settings) and reinstalled it (Using Active Sync) with a new autorun.exe - this one has different, more relevant messages, and the program title has changed. However, when my autorun.exe messages show up, they are still the old autorun.exe messages! How do I wipe out this old version of autorun and make sure I'm using the current one?

    - Troubles while deployin CF .Net 2.0 using autorun.exe Hi, We are providing a corporate application to our users using a storage card in which a autorun.exe is located.

This works fine when I initiate the connection directly from the device (eg by surfing the web). When I use the device as a dial up modem all connections have the status disconnected despite the open connection.

    - C# Callback for RegistryNotifyCallback not working I have implemented a P/Invoke call in C# to RegistryNotifyCallback. Currently, the handle from the function is returning and the call seems to be successful, but the callback function is never firing. I have almost certainly made a mistake somewhere along the line and am hoping that someone can assist. The import is the following: [DllImport("aygshell.dll", EntryPoint = "RegistryNotifyCallback")] private static extern IntPtr CERegistryNotifyCallback (IntPtr hKey, string pszSubKey, string pszValueName, REGISTRYNOTIFYCALLBACK pfnRegistryNotifyCallback, uint dwUserData, ref NOTIFICATIONCONDITION pCondition, ref IntPtr phNotify); Some of the necessary items are: private const long TEMP_LONG = -2147483646; private IntPtr SN_PHONERADIOOFF_ROOT = new IntPtr(TEMP_LONG); private string SN_PHONERADIOOFF_PATH = ""; private string SN_PHONERADIOOFF_VALUE = "test"; public static REGISTRYNOTIFYCALLBACK Callback; I am aware that I may have set up the SN_PHONERADIOOFF_ROOT incorrectly, but I cannot find an example anywhere to confirm what I have done above. The call itself is the following: Callback = new REGISTRYNOTIFYCALLBACK(ConnectionCallback); NOTIFICATIONCONDITION nc = new NOTIFICATIONCONDITION(); // Create the notification hResult = CERegistryNotifyCallback(SN_PHONERADIOOFF_ROOT, SN_PHONERADIOOFF_PATH, SN_PHONERADIOOFF_VALUE, Callback, 0, ref nc, ref hNotify); if (hResult.ToInt64() != S_OK || hNotify == IntPtr.Zero) { MessageBox.Show("Error creating callback: hResult = " + hResult.ToString() + " hNotify = " + hNotify.ToString()); return; } The hResult is returning 0 and the hNotify is being set, but the callback never occurs. The rest of the stuff should be ok. If anyone can confirm or correct the above information, I would be grateful. I actually want it to monitor the connection state (and I do know where to find that) but I figured I would start by setting a test DWORD variable in the registry and see if I could get it to work with that.

    - How the built-in word completion works? Hi all, I am developing a program that does something depending on a character just before the caret. For example, if letter 'a' is before the caret, it should display a list of "About", "After", "Assume" etc. The program I am writing is a keyboard hook, so it is intended to process with any edit control in any application. Now I have a difficulty about getting the character. I am using EM_GETSEL to get the position of the caret, but there is no message for me to get the character. I only have the index of the character, so I have to get all text from it by using WM_GETTEXT, but it is not a good idea if they contain very many letters. I just want to get a special small range of the letters for not consuming much memory and cpu time. I found that the built-in word completion works smoothly for this thing, so there must be some other way to do the same thing, but I don't know how it works. Can anybody help me with my problems? Thanks in advance. Tag: Blocking waiting message box ? Tag: 122585

    - Probeme with CBitmapButton class Hi As per mentioned in msdn I have implemented CBitmapButton for pocket pc. but inside CBitmapButton.Autoload when it calls LoadBitmap API it is getting failed In resource script I have specified bmp as "PRINTD" BITMAP "res\\image1.bmp" "PRINTU" BITMAP "res\\image2.bmp" button is defined as CONTROL "Print",IDC_Print,"Button",BS_OWNERDRAW ,12,86,54,19 MSDN reference To include a bitmap-button control in a dialog box 1.. Create one to four bitmap images for the button. 2.. Create a dialog template with an owner-draw button positioned where you want the bitmap button. The size of the button in the template does not matter. 3.. Set the button caption to a value such as MYIMAGE and define a symbol for the button such as IDC_MYIMAGE. 4.. In your application resource script, give each image created for the button an identifier constructed by appending a letter U, D, F, or X-for up, down, focused, and disabled-to the string used for the button caption in step 3. For the button caption MYIMAGE, for example, the identifiers would be "MYIMAGEU", "MYIMAGED", "MYIMAGEF", and "MYIMAGEX". You must specify the identifier of your bitmap within double quotes. Otherwise the resource editor assigns an integer to the resource, and MFC fails when loading the image. 5.. In your application's dialog class, derived from CDialog, add a CBitmapButton member object. 6.. In the OnInitDialog routine of the CDialog object, call the AutoLoad function of the CBitmapButton object, using as parameters the control identifier of the button and the CDialog object, this pointer. To handle Windows notification messages, such as BN_CLICKED, sent by a bitmap-button control to its parent, usually a class derived from CDialog, add a message-map entry and message-handler method for each message sent to the CDialog-derived object. The notifications sent by a CBitmapButton object are the same as those sent by a CButton object. Tag: Blocking waiting message box ? Tag: 122568

    - xscale and armv4i - reading from a binary errors I've written a program for an xscale 4.2 device. All coding was done in eVC++ 4.0. There are a few different compile options available, armv4 and armv4i. This same program is also used on a ppc2003 device with the armv4 sdk and works great. However I'm running into errors with both the armv4 and armv4i on my xscale device. The program uses a binary configuration file to run. This file is loaded into a buffer and then navigated. On the ppc2003 we made sure to word align the binary file- everything was padded out to a word. On the xscale running in debugger I'll get to certain points when navigating the binary file and will have garbage data. I suspect it has something to do with our word alignment. The binary file is fairly basic. It has a header section and then structures of data. The structures of data will contain types and then offsets for the data itself, like DWORD type DWORD offset -> pointer to DWORD somedata What's happening is all of the sudden I'll get an offset that is complete garbage and can no longer navigate. Is this due to something with the armv4i compressing the binary file and conflicting with our word alignment? Or is it perhaps something else? Thanks for your help.

    - best test or "typical" WM5 Pocket PC device? Hi, New to WM5 development and would like to invest in an actual device (rather than solely depend on emulators) for testing out my apps. What are some of the more popular and widely used Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC devices out there? I'd like to get a device that is pretty "standard" for WM5 features and use that as a baseline for testing my app. Of course, that can't guarantee everything, but I'd like to at least hit most things. I also understand that it really depends on the target audience, but for now, I'd like to address the "mainstream" segment that purchases PDAs for business and personal use. Since I'm asking, if anyone could also tell me what the most popular WM5 Smartphones are as well, that would be helpful too. Based on what I've seen firsthand and searching around on Google, it currently seems that: - For WM5 PPC, the Dell Axim x51v and some iPaq (can't figure out which model) are more popular. Also, I think the Treo 700W might fall here. Any suggestions from your own experience? Thanks in advance for everyone's help. Tag: Blocking waiting message box ? Tag: 122563

    - C#2005 using DllImport to call CeRapiInvoke I am attempting to use RAPI functions in order to put a signed DLL on the device and call a function on it to return the device type string to the desktop. Unfortunately I have been unable to actually get this to work with C#. My DLL is a C++ signed DLL with the correct signature. Currently the error I am getting when I try to invoke it is 0x8007007E 'The specified module could not be found'. The DLL code itself works just fine in a test harness, but when I attempt to call it something fails when I try to write the output to the output buffer. I believe the problem lies in the Reflection calls to DllImport rather than the actual code. The DLL Is copied to the device properly and is in the right location. Dependency walker shows that the proper externs have been created and match the required signature for CeRapiInvoke. If, when calling the code via DllImport I comment out the code that actually writes to the buffer the function returns successfully so I am reasonably confident that it is my C# DLLImport statement that is the culprit. ===== [DllImport("rapi.dll", EntryPoint = "CeRapiInvoke")]// , CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall, SetLastError = true)] private extern static Int32 internal_CeRapiInvoke( [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] string path, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] string functionName, UInt32 nBytesInInputBuffer, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray)] byte[] inputBuffer, ref UInt32 outputBufferLength, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray)] byte[] outputBuffer, IntPtr ppIRAPIStream, UInt32 reserved); public Int32 RapiInvoke(string path, string function, UInt32 inputBufferSize, byte[] inputBuffer, UInt32 outputLength, byte[] outputBuffer ) { // Apparently this only works with Native function Int32 hResults = internal_CeGetLastError(); string unicodePath = UnicodeEncoding.Unicode.GetString(UnicodeEncoding.Unicode.GetBytes(path)); string unicodeFunction = UnicodeEncoding.Unicode.GetString(UnicodeEncoding.Unicode.GetBytes(function)); Int32 results = internal_CeRapiInvoke(unicodePath, unicodeFunction, inputBufferSize, inputBuffer, ref outputLength, outputBuffer, IntPtr.Zero, 0); hResults = internal_CeGetLastError(); if (hResults != 0) Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHR(hResults); return results; } ===== byte[] outputBuffer = new byte[4]; uint outputLength = (uint)outputBuffer.Length; int results = rapi.RapiInvoke( "\\TestTickle\\GetOEMInfo.dll", "GetOEMString", 0, null, outputLength, outputBuffer); results is currently equal to -2147024770 when the function returns Does anyone have any idea what might be incorrect? Has anyone actually gotten this working in C#? Tag: Blocking waiting message box ? Tag: 122540

    - Painting a Progress Bar I've got an eVC4 application that downloads files. Informational messages are displayed to the User as text on the main form using OnPaint()'s CPaintDC::DrawText. This works great. I can display the User's last instruction just below the selection bar on the application's "rectangle," display progress or notes by using DT_CENTER, or display the information in status bar fashion using DT_BOTTOM. This seems to work better than using static text controls that I have to hide/show or send to the back/front whenever they are needed. Now, I'd like to include a progress bar. The list of controls available for forms in eVC4 does include a Progress control, but I would like to be able to draw one on the screen similar to the way I send text to the screen. Any thoughts or suggestions on how to do this? Preliminary idea: Create a transparent (or gray) rectangle with a black border based on a percentage of the available width, then (somehow) fill a percentage of the rectangle with yellow (my progress bar color). Finally, position it! How would I fill a portion of the rectangle (i.e. How would I fill 1/10th or 3/10ths, starting on the leftmost edge)? Is this a bad idea? Would it be too much work for the Pocket PC device, or would it be about the same amount of work done by a Progress control? Thanks for the help! Joe Tag: Blocking waiting message box ? Tag: 122532

    - eMbedded VIsual Basic Runtime Error Notes: - evbruntime is ALREADY INSTALLED - Pocket PC 2003 (Version 4.20.0 Build 14053) - This application runs fine on 29 other handhelds with similar/identical configuration with the same install procedure. - I also posted this question in General PPC forum with little help, sorry if this is a double post for those who ready both. I am receiving the following error when launching a production application: "The applicaiton you have launched requires Microsft eMBedded Visual Basic Runtime to be installed". This error appears to be generated by the handheld, not by the application, and opens in an internet explorer window with the path "file://\windows\evbruntime.htm" Anyone see this error when the app is already installed? Where does the app install to on the handheld (after the cabfile is run from the flash-file store)? What does the app/PPC look for to determine whether or not the runtime is installed? Anyone?

    - Vista and old Pocket PCs One of my customers has an old Toshiba e310 Pocket PC and a new Vista desktop computer. He tells me that the Windows Mobile Device Center (which replaces ActiveSync in Vista) does not support the OS in his e310 Pocket PC. How can he continue to use his old Pocket PC with Vista? (He doesn't need syncronization - just a connection so he can install updated Pocket PC software from me.) Robert Scott Ypsilanti, Michigan Tag: Blocking waiting message box ? Tag: 122529

    - MAPI folder enumeration Does anyone have any sample code that enumerates through all of the folders off the root of a known message store say SMS? I can open and read the contents of the standard folders i.e. Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items etc, but I need to open and read all folders including user created folders.

    - CreateProcess Hi, I'm trying to run a CAB file by using CreateProcess. It doesnt fail, doesnt crash, just seems to do... nothing. Here is my code, can anyone tell if theres anything stupidly wrong with it? PROCESS_INFORMATION pi; BOOL res = FALSE; try { res=CreateProcess( _T("\\windows\\wceload.exe"), _T("/noui /nouninstall /noaskdest \\Program Files\\Mobile\\NETCFv2.ppc.armv4.cab"), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, &pi ); if (res) { WaitForSingleObject(pi.hProcess,120000); CloseHandle(pi.hProcess); CloseHandle(pi.hThread); } } catch(...) { } Thanks, David Tag: Blocking waiting message box ?

    - Changing caption of PocketPC bubble notification Hi, I'm developing a C+= app for PPC03. Is it possible to change the "Reminder" caption text that appears on the Notification bubble. The pwszDialogTitle of the CE_USER_NOTIFICATION struct doesn't seem to be working. Is there someway to do? Thanks Tag: Blocking waiting message box ? Tag: 122522

Hi,

In an autorun.exe I wrote, I perform several operations, including
installing the compact framework using wceload.exe /silent command line.

Since I do not want the user to be able to neither cancel the installation,
nor choose the path, I use the /silent switch.

This is working but there is no visual feedback to the user that something
happens.
I'd like to know if it is possible to have a popup message like MessageBox
does, but with no button until the process is completely finished ?

Thanks,
Steve

Sure, you can create a thread for the install and signal back to the UI
thread that you're done, at which point update the UI. Alternatively just
wait of the process handle from wceload in a timeout loop.
