This code creates an image from a file, presumably in an image
buffer in memory as 24-bit ?
Then it converts to a 565 bitmap, presumably leaving the image buffer
in memory - this does not address the problem of uselessly allocating
memory for a 24-bit image before conversion to 565 - nor as far
as I can tell (since I haven't played with the imaging library yet) does
it free the image buffer.
Is there no way of converting compressed image file or resource directly
to a 565 bitmap without wasting memory ? (I realise I could use a full
jpg and/or png library but they're much bigger than I'd like - wasting
the memory just in a different manner :-)
Also "imaging" only appears in EVC4, not EVC3 so - maybe copying
imaging.h and imaging.lib to the appropriate EVC3 folders would make
it available there (at least for mobile 2002 ) ? Or does the dll itself not
exist in mobile 2002 ?
Finally why on earth did MS use the 555 format as the default when
(so far as I've checked) all Windows Mobile devices are 565 ?

Index problems with MS database
Hi!
I'm having problems with my databases created by
myDB.Create(uDB_Name, 1, 1, DB_SortProp);
where DB_SortProp is defined like
CCeDBProp DB_SortProp[1] = {CCeDBProp(CCeDBProp::Type_String,
ID_RECORD_OF_MY_DB,
CCeDBProp::Sort_Ascending)};
I can create this databases all right, then in my application create
records and put them in by myDB.AddRecord(pNewRecord);
and after some time, one more AddRecord-Operation will kill my index. There
are still all records present, as I can see by GetNumRecords(), but seeking
will give me only a fraction.
Deleting all records (not the database itself, just the records) seems to
quench the effect; I can then again add records and all works fine until
after some time the problem comes back.
I can not put my finger on when that - most likely index - problem arises;
it can be the third record or the 3 hundredth, it has nothing to do with
the record's content, and it has nothng to do with how long the DB already
lives.
As my application has to handle a lot of data I'd appreciate any hints.

Code for backlight brightness level that works on Ipaq, doesn´t on Axim
I am using the code below for changing backlight brightness on iPaqs and
works OK. But it don't work on Axim (al least X50v).
I've found that the program that changes the brighness in Axim modify the
same registry keys, and calls the same BackLightChangeEvent (at least has
this name on its code, seen with a Hex editor).
The behaviour is very strange, let mi explain it with an example:
-I adjust with Axim program both ACBright and DCBright to level 1
-Then change the bright level with my program to level4 for both, AC and
DC. bright level doesn't change.
-Return to Axim program using battery and I can see that the slider for
DC remains al lever 1 but the level for AC has changed to level 4!.
-Connect AC power: The slider for DC power changes to level 4, and the
one for AC level changes to level 1 !!!!. Obviously the bright level remains
unchanged
Disconnect AC power: The opossite occurs: DC slider to 1 and AC slider
to 4.
Notes:
-The registry keys remains as I have set from my program, but if I change
the Axim program sliders, then it set the keys to the new values.
-A soft reset doesn't make Axim to change to a different bright level than
the selected with its program althought the registry keys were set to other
values.
¿Any idea?
My code is:
void SetBacklight(int value, BOOL bAcBright) //Set the Backlight for Battery
mode.bACBright set modifies also the AcBacklight
{
HKEY hKey = NULL;
DWORD dwDisposition = 0;
if (RegCreateKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, _T("ControlPanel\\Backlight"),0,
NULL, 0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, NULL, &hKey, &dwDisposition) == ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
if (bAcBright)
RegSetValueEx(hKey, _T("ACBrightNess"), 0, REG_DWORD, (PBYTE) &value,
sizeof(REG_DWORD)); //AC Mode
RegSetValueEx(hKey, _T("BrightNess"), 0, REG_DWORD, (PBYTE)&value,
sizeof(REG_DWORD)); //DC Mode
}
RegCloseKey(hKey);
HANDLE hBackLightEvent = CreateEvent( NULL, FALSE, TRUE,
TEXT("BackLightChangeEvent"));
if (hBackLightEvent)
{
SetEvent(hBackLightEvent);
CloseHandle(hBackLightEvent);
}

all processes I should not kill. My question is what all process should

Must ActiveSync plugins/providers be compiled with _MBCS instead of UNICODE?
Hi there:
could someone confirm that ActiveSync plugins (providers) on the desktop
side have to be compiled with _MBCS instead of Unicode? It seems to me that
this is the case. Compiling my plugin with Unicode enabled reliably crashes
the wcesmgr.exe process. It runs just fine when compiled with _MBCS.
Intuitively this makes sense, since there is no way for ActiveSync to know
whether a plugin was written with Unicode or not, and so it must be clearly
defined which character type is expected.
What I don't understand though is why STOREINFO and CONFINFO use TCHAR in
their structure declarations, while others like OBJUIDATA use plain char.
This makes it impossible to actually compile the plugin with Unicode on and
converting the internal unicode data to ANSI as needed when interfacing
with ActiveSync.

Pointer of a file, not moving after a FREAD or FWRITE ???
I don't understand.
I am using FRead and FWrite in a WCE 3.0 with eVC 3.0++.
I am using the fread and fwrite functions to read some structures in a
file. The file has been opened with the "rb+" parameter.
Usually when you do a fread or fwrite of a structure, your pointer is
set at the end of that structure which is also the beginning of another
structure or the end of the file.
That's what it's supposed to be.
But that's not the case in my application. The pointer is not moving,
each time I write to a file I need to do a
fseek( myfilepointer, 0, SEEK_END);
and when I want to read, I need to focus to the front when it's the
first read, but then I need to do another fseek of another structure.
Is it a problem with WCE or is it me that's doing something wrong ?
Thank You ! Tag: Bluetooth enumeration Tag: 93784

I get those samples???

control. My program is sending 9600 bytes per second via serial port over
bluetooth and after a few minutes hangs so I think it is due to some buffer
overflow. But don´t know how to control it.

Problem including debugging information in Visual Studio solution
Hello,
I'm not sure where to post this Visual Studio .net related question, but
I hope to find some help here.
I'm developing an application for a pocket pc in C#. It consists of
multiple projects, included in one solution.
There is one project set as a window application, the other projects are
class libraries. When I debug (either on pocketpc or emulator) my
breakpoints in one project are not taken into account. When I stop
debugging, the output window tells me there are no symbols included for
the specific project... For 3 out of 4 class library projects, symbols
are included. But for the one I need...
I've tried googling on this, and there are several things I tried or
checked... But it didn't solve my problem...
- I am debugging (not in release mode)
- In the configuration properties of the problem project, Generate
debugging information is turned on
- Debug mode is set to program
- Startup object is 'not set' in Common properties of the project
So I'm really stuck here, I tried deleting everything, changing
references to the project etc... But nothing seems to work...

The Pocket PC 2003 SDK lists the TAPI and ExTAPI methods supported. Note
there are some differences depending on the network type of your device GSM,

Generally the phone audio path is physically disconnected from system audio

I have seen this on 3 different machines with an environment like what I
have described above. I'm almost convinced that something about the
non-default install or installing to a custom path is tripping me up -- I
later gave in and did a default install on one of those same machines, and
debugging of device projects on the emulator worked fine.
I humbly request if someone could tell me if what I describe is a known
issue, and if there are any further suggestions (beyond what I've already
tried and described above) on how I could resolve this problem.
Thanks,

Firewall APIs under CE?
MS documents APIs for a built-in Firewall in CE 4.2 and above. Has anyone
tried these APIs?
I have the fwapi.h file under my PUBLIC\COMMON\SDK\INC but where's the
fwapi.lib? Samples folder is empty too...
Is this FW part of a standard PocketPC/Smartphone distribution (e.g
Dell/HP/HTC)?

DLL load error on Dell AXIM x50v when WI-FI enabled
Target System: Dell Axim X50v
Target OS: Windows Pocket PC2003
We have a problem when the WI-FI is enabled on the Axim x50v which is
causing manually laoded DLLs to fail. The error message from GetLastError
is 14 Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.
ERROR_OUTOFMEMORY
But the system memory page says that there is still plenty of free program
memory.
When the WI-FI is turned off and then the application is loaded everything
loads OK. But then when the WI-FI is turned on, we get a message that says
the driver for the socket 2 device is unknown.
Anyone else have this problem and figure out how to fix it? Tag: Bluetooth enumeration Tag: 93659

Any thoughts? Tag: Bluetooth enumeration Tag: 93657
MSXML DOM
Hi,
I am creating a XML Parser using MSXML DOM, right now I am working with
very large XML files, and the device is running out of memory. Is there a way
to get out this problem.
Thanks in advance,

ConnMgr fails to dial programmatically
I have a connection setup that uses GPRS. If I start the connection via the
PPC GUI then the connection works. If I start the connection via my program
using the ConnMgr API then it fails. It posts a
CONNMGR_STATUS_CONNECTIONFAILED message almost immediately after it posts a
CONNMGR_STATUS_WAITINGCONNECTION message. Here is the code I use to dial:
bool CConnectionManager::Dial(HWND hwndParent, REFGUID rguid, UINT uMsg)
{
bool bReturn = false;
DWORD dwStatus = 0;
CONNMGR_CONNECTIONINFO cci = { 0 };
HRESULT hr = E_FAIL;
assert(hConnection == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE);
HANDLE hConnMgr = ConnMgrApiReadyEvent();
if (WaitForSingleObject(hConnMgr, 3000) == WAIT_OBJECT_0)
{
CloseHandle(hConnMgr);
cci.cbSize = sizeof(cci);
cci.hWnd = hwndParent;
cci.uMsg = uMsg;
cci.dwParams = CONNMGR_PARAM_GUIDDESTNET;
//cci.dwFlags = CONNMGR_FLAG_PROXY_HTTP | CONNMGR_FLAG_PROXY_WAP |
CONNMGR_FLAG_PROXY_SOCKS4 | CONNMGR_FLAG_PROXY_SOCKS5;
cci.dwFlags = 0;
cci.bExclusive = TRUE;
cci.dwPriority = CONNMGR_PRIORITY_USERINTERACTIVE;
cci.guidDestNet = rguid;
hr = ConnMgrEstablishConnection(&cci, &hConnection);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
bReturn = true;
}
return bReturn;
}
I have the connection created under "My ISP" and the GUID I am using is the
"My ISP" guid (ADB0B00110B53F3927C69742E785FCD4). I don't understand how it
is working when I right click in the PPC GUI and select "Connect" but it is
failing in my app. Tag: Bluetooth enumeration Tag: 93644
Problem working w/ HTTPS
My SmartApplication developed in C# using Sql Server 2.0 to access IIS on a
remote server to run Merge Replication. If i run this process w/out a secure
internet path (http) the program works fine. However, if i run this process
with a secure internet path (https) i get very general (unhelpful) errors.
The web server users a Verisign Secure Server ID. The guys in the sql server
ce newsgroup have suggested that i install the high security patch v1 for
PPC. However, my device is already running Windows Mobile 2003 which if i am
correct, comes w/ this high encryption patch?
I can access teh sites just fine via Pocket IE. ANy ideas why Sql Server CE
does not work with HTTPS?

Is there a way to enumerate the virtual bluetooth com port? I'd like that my
application find out the right com port to connect...
Thanks.
