    - How to disable the default dialer Hi, I'm trying to write an application that replaces the default phone dialer on a Mobile PPC 2003 phone edition (the device has a built-in phone but its not a Smartphone). How do I prevent the PPC from displaying the default dialer when there is an incoming call? How can I prevent the balloon pop-up when there is an incoming call? Thanks, Ed.

    - newbie Ok, I am trying to program for Windows Mobile 2003, 2nd edition, I have read that Embedded Visual C++ will work. However, I only know C++, and I have not found any resources that really help on Embedded Visual C++. I do know somewhat Visual Basic 6.0, is there anyway I can use that to write a fairly basic program on Windows Mobile, without having to buy the .net framework. Essentially I need a language that is close to C++ or Visual Basic that I can pick up rather fast, and design a program that is basically a lot of number crunching. PS - I know this is a basic question, but I am new to mobile applications. Thanks for any help Tag: Comm port usage on PocketPc2003 Tag: 87366

    - Detect the extra 512MB Sorry, if this is not the right group for my question and please point me to the right one. :) I've got an iPaq 3765 with Compaq's single slot expansion slot. From the System's Setting, the iPaq knows the expansion pack is there and using the battery from the expansion pack. However, it doesn't regonize the 512MB CF which is connected to the CardBus Adapter slided into the expansion slot. My Windows 2000 has no problem plug-and-play with the 512MB CF on a CardBus Adapter. Do I need to have a driver install for the iPAQ? If so, where to download the driver? Thanks.

    - Horizontal Scrolling with a CListCtrl I have a CListCtrl, which has one column that holds strings. The list auto-vertically scrolls just fine but when strings are longer then the viewable area it adds ellipses on and doesn't auto scroll horizontally. I want it to instead scroll horizontally so long strings can be read. I have 'no column header' set to true because I don't want it showing. The methods I've tried using to get it to work are m_ListCtrl.EnableScrollBarCtrl(SB_HORZ); m_ListCtrl.ShowScrollBar(SB_HORZ); m_ListCtrl.SetScrollRange(SB_HORZ, 0, 300); Thanks for your help. -- Jeremy T.

    - Installer Woes I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. I have created a cab file that installs my program to \Program Files\Company\Product by default. If I run the cab file directly on my device, it works perfectly. My problem is with my desktop installer. When it installs the program to my device, the program is installed to \Program Files\Product (note the lack of the Company directory). This strikes me as odd as the CAB file is the exact same file. Does anyone know if there is anyway to get my program installed in the correct location via CEAppMgr? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tag: Comm port usage on PocketPc2003 Tag: 87319

    - Advice for WebService Data Downloading Hi, I am currently developing an application for a handheld (ipaq 5455) that implements SQL CE 2.0 with Framework 1.1. The application will call a webservice to retrieve its data and create the necessary datasets. Once the data is downloaded, it will save it into the local database. The problem is performance. Could you recommend a good way of efficiently sending data to the handheld? Right now I am sending the entire dataset down and then dropping the data on the handheld. Itâ??s quite expensive for large tables, and I am sure there is a better way. Here are some considerations towards the issue: ================================ - The server will use MSDE as a database because of the customer's cost requirements. - Some of the tables will contain more than 1200 rows. - The data communication with the webservice is on a separate worker thread.

I have been to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/netcfdeployment.asp to read through the article, but i still got problem Problem : I do not know how to create the 3 major Projects (CustomInstaler, Pre-Build and Setup) that mentioned in that article. I have cut and paste the paragraph to the following... "Two solutions are required for VB.NET. The first contains the Smart Device project called PocketApp. The second solution generates the .msi file and contains the projects CustomInstaller, Pre-Build and Setup. The CustomInstaller and Setup projects are equivalent to the C# projects and the Pre-Build project is a C++ Makefile project; it does not contain any C++ code and is only used to specify a pre-build event. The VB solutions are shown below." I hope someone could tell me how to create these 3 project, and allow me to create a installation package for my application.

    - PTvncHI for VGA released Hi all, PTvncHI, our PPC VNC client specifically designed for VGA PPC's is now available from Handango and will shortly be available from PocketGear. PTvncHI is compatible with WCE 2003 and 2003SE devices though it was specifically designed with VGA (480*640) devices in mind. If you have a WCE2003 QVGA device (240*320) then PTvncGPRS is a better choice. For those of you who don't know, VNC software allows you to remotely view (and control) one device from another, in particular PTvncHI (and our older software PTvncGPRS and PTvncS) allow you to view (and control) a PC from your PPC (or Smartphone - PTvncS). You can connect to your PC via WiFi, GPRS or via Bluetooth(Activesync) or straightforward USB(Activesync). PTvncHI (PTvncGPRS and PTvncS) will all connect to most PC VNC servers eg. PTeSVNC(supplied), UltraVNC, TightVNC and RealVNC. With VNC servers that have server-scaling (eSVNC, PTeSVNC and UltraVNC) you can view screens up to 1280*1024 (or 1024*1280) without server-scaling and screens of any size with server-scaling (eg. a 1600*1200 PC screen at transfer size 800*600), with VNC servers that do not have server-scaling (RealVNC, TightVNC) the max PC screen size you can view is 1280*1024 (or 1024*1280). With a compatible VNC server PTvncHI (etc.) (optionally on the server) allows file transfer either way. PTvncHI has 3 viewing modes - full-screen, no-zoom and zoom. Full-screen is exactly what it says, your entire PC screen is resampled to 640*480 (or 320*240 for non-VGA) so you can see the whole thing on your PPC. No-zoom mode displays the pixels as transferred so you get to see all or a portion of your server screen depending on the server resolution and server-scaling options. Zoom mode either zooms into no-zoom mode *2 or zooms out *2 depending on the size of the transferred screen - for larger transfer sizes (where only a small area is visible in no-zoom mode) zoom mode zooms out instead of in. In PTvncHI (only) in no-zoom or zoom modes if less than 80% of the height/width of your server screen is visible then a small window will appear in the bottom-right corner of your PPC screen giving a view of the entire server-screen. You can tap on this window to move quickly to any location on the server screen and you can tap/hold/drag the small window around the PPC screen - eg. if you need to see the bottom-right corner of the server screen. Please try the trial version before buying - if you have any problems with a version of PTvnc please let us know and we'll endeavour to solve them. bye Dave (Parys Technografx) Tag: Comm port usage on PocketPc2003 Tag: 87304

    - Moving SQLCE from PPC2002 to PPC2003 We have a VB.NET application running on PPC2002 devices with a SQLCE database. The customer sets up any new devices by running the CF SP2 installer over activesync, and then copying over and clicking the SQLCE cab files (sqlce.dev.ppc3.arm.CAB and sqlce.ppc3.arm.CAB) However, the latest devices the customer has bought are PPC2003 devices, and when they attempt to install the above SQL files, they get a message to say they are incompatible with the system. Is is just a case of installing different SQL Files, or is there more to it? I have found a suggestion on another forum that the files; sqlce.dev.wce4.armv4.CAB and sqlce.wce4.armv4.CAB should be used, but the fact they have WCE rather than PPC in the filename makes me think they're for the CE.NET environment, rather than PPC. Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks, Ian. Tag: Comm port usage on PocketPc2003 Tag: 87301

    - Programming beginners How-to and tool selection Hi. Thought I would try to create app's for the PocketPC and need a starting point. First: Any good books that takes you through the basics? And then through the (semi-)professional, including programming for network/serial/database apps. Second: What tool is preferred? I have downloaded the eVC++ tool and its related SDK's and emulators for Pocket 2003. I also have VisualStudio .NET 2002 available. What is the better choice? Third: I am a reasonably skilled programmer, having developed some Win32 commercial app's using Borland C++ Builder 5 and embedded systems on custom hardware (mainly Motorola 8 and 32 bit processors). In addition, beginning Builder 5, I studied one of the "bibles", i.e. "Programming Windows" by Charles Petzold. Will any of these experiences be specifically useful when developing for PPC or is it a new animal? Regards Goran Ekstrom Tag: Comm port usage on PocketPc2003 Tag: 87284

    - Fatal Application Exception I have been developing an application in Windows CE.Net using the .Net Compact Framework and C#. Data is saved to a local Sql Server CE database and then transferred wirelessly to a central server. The device has to open a connection every 5 minutes, transfer all records and then disconnect. I have been running tests to verify the capacity of the database, if, for example, the network goes down and transfers cannot be made. I have disabled the device from connecting to the network (although it will still try every 5 minutes) and have built the number of records up to about 10,000 records. At this point, a Fatal Application Error message is raised, saying that the application has performed an illegal operation and giving the Exception as 0Xc00000fd. Doing a quick search on Googal shows this to be a stack overflow error. I have not been to catch the error during a debug session. There seems to be no specific point at which this error occurs. Thinking that the error was down to lack of memory, I have adjusted the breakdown of RAM between the Object Store and program memory, giving the program memory an extra 10mb to play with. This has had no effect and the application still crashes, before the extra memory is anywhere near used up. Is this error down to memory or something else? Any help would be most appreciated.

However the MS site tells me Embedded visual tools is a "complete desktop environment" for creating apps for the pocket PC; this I thought I had in VS .Net and the emulator ... Will I screw up VS if I install the tools ? Tag: Comm port usage on PocketPc2003 Tag: 87247

    - eVB emulator problem After I installed eVB3 and ppc2002 sdk. I choose a sample project and click run, the emulator starts up and I can see some files copied to the emulator. But nothing happened on the emulator. I found the project name is in the start up menu. I click it and it starts up with an control not registered error. I would think the app should startup automatically and the eVB should go into debug mode. None of this happenning plus the control register error. If I run a project without any special control (all standard one in the toolbox), then there is no error and app manually starts up Ok. But not automatically and eVB not in debug mode. I raised a similar issue before but this time I make it clearer, any help greatly appreciated. Tag: Comm port usage on PocketPc2003 Tag: 87246

    - MSDN_SplashScreen Sample Hello, I looked at this sample because I also want to use a Splash Screen in my Smart Device Application. I think the interesting method is this one: private void MainForm_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { // Create a new thread from which to start the splash screen form Thread splashThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(StartSplash)); splashThread.Start(); // Pretend that our application is doing a bunch of loading and // initialization Thread.Sleep(kMinAmountOfSplashTime_ms / 2); // Sit and spin while we wait for the minimum timer interval if // the interval has not already passed while (splash.GetUpMilliseconds() < kMinAmountOfSplashTime_ms) { Thread.Sleep(kSplashUpdateInterval_ms / 4); } // Close the splash screen CloseSplash(); } I think I have to add here the code to load for example Data in a DataGrid on my MainForm during the SplashScreen is displayed? - If yes, can you explain me where I should insert it? thx mathon Tag: Comm port usage on PocketPc2003 Tag: 87232

    - Using SQLCE on Pocket PC 2003 & Access on Windows App Hi, Could any body help me? I am trying to find out how I can transfer data from an SQLCE database to an Access database in Windows using ActiveSync. Does ActiveSync know what to pass to each application or is there particular coding methods used I need to include? Also what validation does ActiveSync do to check that the data it is passing is correct and it has not sent a number instead of a letter? -- Cheers New Developer Tag: Comm port usage on PocketPc2003 Tag: 87230

    - Uninstall Question (I Accidentally posted this message prior to its completion earlier. Here is the full message:) I have written a .inf file, and used CabWiz to create a .CAB and a .dat file for installation of my Pocket PC app. The installation works fine, and the install directory structure on the PPC is as follows: Program Files My Company Name Common Files My App #1 My App #2 where "My App #1" was already installed (along with the "Common Files" folder). I would like the uninstaller to just uninstall the "My App #2" directory and subdirectories, and not the "Common Files" directory, who's files are shared between multiple applications. Is there a way to do so? (The common files are set to overwrite upon installation.) I tried using the CE_COPYFLG_SHARED 0x80000000 option, but that didn't work. I guess it only works on .dlls. Any help would be appreciated. Julie Tag: Comm port usage on PocketPc2003 Tag: 87226
