    - Generated Cab file names different... I am developing an application running on .net compact framework, together with an sql server ce datatbase. When I generate the cab files needed for my application, the cab files are named [application name]_WCE4.[processor].cab and [application name]_PPC.[processor].cab for the WCE3.0 and 4.0 OS. So far so good. Because I need sql server ce as well for my project, all applicable files listed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\v1.0.5000\Windows CE\wce300 and \wce400 are added to my setup project as well. When I take a look at this file names the names are as following: sql.PPC3.[processor].cab. (PPC3 instead of PPC)!!!!!!! sql.WCE4.[processor].cab (ok that's the same as above) Why are the files names for Wce3 (PPC3) different with the file names generated by Visual studio (PPC). Question in general is: How does the msi file know, which cab file he should extract to the mobile device. Does the msi look to the (end of) the file name?

    - Pocket PC Remote Control question... Does anyone know of any software for a Pocket PC that emulates an A/V remote control and will transmit via IR (infrared) interface to a receiving PC, and then translate those IR codes into IP packets for a LAN, and then a receiving app (on a 2nd PC in another room) to translate IP back to IR in order to control A/V equipment? So, 3 software apps is what I'm looking for... 1 for the PDA, 1 for the 1st PC (receiving the PDA commands) and, 1 for the 2nd PC (receiving commands via IP) from the 1st PC... ***OR*** Of course, another alternative would be to use the PDA's WiFi interface to go straight to the distant PC (#2 in the above scenario) and then a receiving app would be there to translate commands over IP to IR? So, in this case, only 2 apps are needed... Or even pieces of the puzzle to put it together... Thanks in advance, Chris Tag: GUI: "Control Panel-like" form? Tag: 90569

    - How To: Hide the SIP Button in VB.NET Compact Framework If you're looking for finding the way to hide the SIP button here it is! 1. We start with the API support: ====================== Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices Module FullScreen #Region " API Declarations " <DllImport("coredll.dll", SetLastError:=True)> _ Public Function GetCapture() As IntPtr End Function <DllImport("aygshell.dll")> _ Private Function SHFullScreen(ByVal hwndRequester As IntPtr, ByVal dwState As Integer) As Integer End Function Public Enum SHFS As Integer SHOWTASKBAR = &H1 HIDETASKBAR = &H2 SHOWSIPBUTTON = &H4 HIDESIPBUTTON = &H8 SHOWSTARTICON = &H10 HIDESTARTICON = &H20 End Enum #End Region Public Sub SetFullScreen(ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, ByVal dwState As Integer) Dim rtn As Integer rtn = SHFullScreen(hwnd, dwState) End Sub End Module ============== 2. Add this sub to your form's code to call the API function: ===================== Private Sub HideSIPButton() Capture = True Dim hWnd As IntPtr = GetCapture() Capture = False SetFullScreen(hWnd, SHFS.HIDESIPBUTTON) End Sub ===================== 3. Assuming you have already added a menu bar added to your form, you need to set the Menu property to "None". (Note: Make sure that your menu items are all set up & coded first). 4. Now assign the Menu property in code to your form's Form_Load event. ================ Private Sub frmMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load 'Initialize system. Me.Menu = Me.mnuMain End Sub ================ 5. Finally, call the HideSipButton() subroutine in your form's Form_Paint event. ================= Private Sub frmMain_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Paint HideSIPButton() End Sub ================= Start your project and no SIP button in the menu bar. 6. Finally, if one of your menu items opens another form you are limited to using the ShowDialog method but at least this works. ================= Private Sub mnuMainAbout_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mnuMainAbout.Click Me.Menu = Nothing Dim frm As New frmAbout frm.ShowDialog() Me.Menu = Me.mnuMain End Sub ================= Voila!

    - eVC / cdb / VO / adoce: register adoce31.dll and? Hi, The battery of my pocket pc ran down, so the pocket pc reinitialized. As my program is using VO classes / adoce3.1 for a cdb database, I had noted that I needed to copy and register (with regsvr) adoce31.dll. Bu it seems there's something else to do, as I still can't connect to my .cdb, though it is place in the right path. I tried to copy and register other dlls (adoxce31, oledb, msdadc etc.) but it still doesn't work, and I haven't found any answer searching the web :-( Do you know what I have forgotten to do?

    - Application suddenly ends without throwing any exception Hi, My application was tested for few months and it worked good, but after installing SP3 on Pocket PC it started to behave very strange. The worst thing is that it sometimes ends itself without throwing any exception. The situation is very bad because it leaves a database in temporary state (Some things cannot be done in transaction). Is that situation caused by using SP3?? Martin Tag: GUI: "Control Panel-like" form? Tag: 90558

    - Cannot establish a connection.. yet again I havenâ??t been coding for my HP 2215 pocket pcâ??s for a couple of months. Back then all was fine. I had to switch a few lines for an urgent demonstration, and now Visual Studio.net 2003 can seem to see them. â??Cannot establish a connection. Be sure the device is physically connected to the development computerâ?? is how the error reads. Active Sync works fine, so I know itâ??s connected physically. Iâ??ve rebooted the dev system and the pocket pc. Per the one note recovered on this topic Iâ??ve found, Iâ??ve installed windows ce utilities pack, and tried a few different processor types to no avail. Iâ??m dead in the water. I've coded a simple application to test, and it works fine in the emulator, but connection error stops its getting to the PPC Am I missing something stupid here? I canâ??t figure out what has changed in the 2 months Iâ??ve been away from coding. Thereâ??ve been a few updates to windows XP, most notably the appearance of Microsofts new firewall, but Iâ??ve shut it off temporarily. I think Iâ??m missing some trivial thing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Tag: GUI: "Control Panel-like" form? Tag: 90551

    - Debugging resources not downloaded using eVC4 I have been developing an MFC app using eVC4 for some time, debugging on several PDA's. The last time I switched to a new PDA, the resources needed for debug was not downloaded to the target. I have several PDA's of the same kind, and with the old one, which have all the resources already, debugging works just fine. But on new ones, the debugging resources does not get downloaded, so when I try to start the app, either directly on the PDA or from eVC, it says that some resources are missing. The release compile of the app still works fine. I also tried to make a new, empty project, with one single dialog, and that worked both in release and in debug. Is there some way to force eVC to download the resources? I have checked the "Always download dependencies" option in Tools->Option->Download, so that is OK. Is there some way to find out what resource is missing when starting the application? Thanks, Ole-Johan Ellingsen Tag: GUI: "Control Panel-like" form? Tag: 90547

    - Capturing ALL hardware buttons XPost, FupTo: microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer Hello, I know this has been asked 100 times on these groups, but although I did a thorough search I could not find a solution to this problem. Some claim it just cannot be done, some claim it's as easy as calling RegisterHotKey. Truth is, nothing worked for me. What I want to do is capture all hardware buttons on a Pocket PC (Phone Edition). I am already able to get hardware button notifications from regular buttons by calling SHSetAppKeyWndAssoc. No problem there, just that the two phone buttons still exhibit default behavior. I am also able to capture all hardware buttons by calling UnregisterFunc1, then RegisterHotKey, which will even get me KeyDown and KeyUp messages for the buttons. Trouble is that - as expected - calling UnregisterHotKey is not enough to have the phone application re-capture the button I unregistered it with. I know this is possible as it's done by both Age Of Empires and Spicy Pixel's MorphGear. Both receive button presses of the Call and End-Call buttons and restore all buttons when exiting. Here's my question: How can I do this? How is it possible to receive notifications of all hardware buttons without leaving them disabled until the next soft-reset? Kind regards, Wolf Tag: GUI: "Control Panel-like" form? Tag: 90543

    - eVC 4.0 error at startup & can't install any service pack I installed eVC 4.0 using instructions provided with the Windows Mobile Developer Resource Kit and used the files on the CD. My OS is WinXP Pro SP2 (MDac 2.8 included). No other IDE installed. In this order, I installed 2002 Tools and SDKs, eVC4.0, 2003 SDK. eVC will display this error msg when starting the application: "No primary platforms are available. The build system will be disabled. It is likely that a build system 'add-on' platform (.pkg), installed by Setup, failed to load." and eVC will crash. How do I fix this? I tried to install SP3 thinking it will fix this problem but when the setup updates the registry, an error message shows up: > ODBC Error: > Function: execscript:SQLExecDirect > Return Value: SQL_ERROR > State: 23000 > Native Error: -3100 Then the installation aborts. Also tried SP1, SP2 and SP4 and all failed for the same reason. All this sounds like a dead end. I tried uninstalling/installing many times in different orders. I also made sure that no apps were running in background. Also cleared the registry of any eVC, SDK keys. I can't find information about this issue. Only about the same questions but no answer. I hope someone will share the answer with me. Sincerely, Tag: GUI: "Control Panel-like" form? Tag: 90536

The program could be compiled without problems. But when EVC comes to uploading the binary, I get the following message: The Microsoft ActiveSync connection server has failed. Please make sure Microsoft ActiveSync is running and retry the download by Rebuild All or Update Remote Ouput File(s). Also make sure that you have selected the correct platform. Well, my PPC is a HP iPaq rx3715 with Windows Mobile 2003 se. It has a Samsung processor (ARM compatible of course). Settings in EVC are 'Pocket PC 2002 - Win32 (WCE ARM) Debug - Pocket PC 2002 (Default Device)'. I am running Windows 2000 Server on my development machine. I have run this configuration before with no problems. But I deinstalled everything half a year ago. The only difference I can think of is that back then I already had the standard EVT 3.0 (2000 edition) on my computer when I installed the 2002 edition.

    - Pocket PC for field data collection Sorry about reposting this but I wanted to clarify more. I'm new to PPC development and I am going around in circles on the net researching this topic. I need an application on PPC 2003 for people to collect data in the field. This data then needs to be added to an access database at the end of the day. No wireless or realtime data transfer is needed, the app is just to emliminate re-typing notepads of data. I want the app to be simple enough for a child to use so I will write an interface with vb. NET. It would also be useful to have some recent information available on the pocket PC for the field techs to examine if needed. Since this will be a fairly simple database, would the best solution be to purchase a third party pocket access product (sprintDB has good reviews) ? Or can I accomplish this without a database on the PPC? My main objective is to keep it simple. Thanks, all us newbies really appreciate the help from the veterans.

    - SAPI 5 and CE .NET I need to implement speech function on a pocket pc 2003 device - both TTS and SR. I learned that Windows CE .NET 4.2 support SAPI 5, but there is no SDK package available for CE (like SAPI 5.1 SDK for desktop pc). I browsed web sites that microsoft listed on (http://www.microsoft.com/speech/evaluation/thirdparty/engines.asp), but most of them have their own API instead of SAPI, and many just support TTS. By my understanding, SAPI is just a set of COM components, is there anyway that I can get these components for a specific platform (like ARM + PPC2003), then use eVC4 write program? Or can I use Platform Builder build a customized ROM image with SAPI support, then copy these SAPI dlls to existing PPC2003 device? Why I have to use a 3rd party product and which product let me code with SAPI interface directly? Thanks in advance. Tag: GUI: "Control Panel-like" form? Tag: 90502

What I would like to do : ---------------------------- I would like to write an app for a Pocket PC running Windows Mobile 2003 that can take data from a received SMS message and create a new calendar appointment using some of that data. However the part about getting the data from an SMS is the second phase and all I'm concentrating on right now is being able to add,delete and view appointments/calendar items. What I have done : ---------------------- I have created a windows mobile app using visual studio .Net and VB.Net and have got the basic frontend of the prototype that I want to demo for my boss. All using the Windows Mobile 2003 emulator. Where I am stuck : ---------------------- I want to create a new calendar entry. So I try import the pimstore.dll for the arm processor however it is not a valid assembly, presumably because the .Net compact framework doesn't allow COM dll's to be referenced as in a normal .Net desktop application. So I use the tlbimp.exe function to change the pimstore.dll to a pimstoreM.dll. Now this file I can import into my Mobile app but with an error that the import may or may not be for the correct platform. ?? Once that has been added, I cannot view the reference in the object browser as normal, but I can type all the coding using the normal pimstore.dll interfaces, without any errors indicated by the blue underlining. However when I compile the app i get the following : 1) Error: The dependency 'mscorlib, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=969db8053d3322ac' in project 'Diarise' cannot be copied to the run directory because it would conflict with dependency 'mscorlib, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'. and 2) Error: The dependency 'mscorlib, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' in project 'Diarise' cannot be copied to the run directory because it would conflict with dependency 'mscorlib, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=969db8053d3322ac'. I'm not sure why I'm getting these errors, or how to overcome them. Please any suggestions will help... Tag: GUI: "Control Panel-like" form? Tag: 90492

    - Write() a string to a FileStream Hi, I use C# for PPC development. I writes a string into FileStream with BinaryWriter and I need to know the size (in bytes) of the string before it stores in the FileStream. I tried with the following code: public int GetLenStr(string sValue) { if (sValue.Length<=255) return sValue.Length+1; //one byte if <=255 else return sValue.Length+2; //A word if >255 } This works fine if my string doesn't contains an unicode char, infact I have the following scenario: MyString="CopyRight Â©" //Â©=Ascii(184) MyString.Length=11; When I write the string into FileStream, the Lenght of the FileStream is the following: FileStream.Lenght=13; //1 byte for string size + 12 byte for the string and not 11 Infact the BinaryStram.Write(MyString) use 12 byte to store it (not 11 byte), because there is the Â© char inside it. Well, what can I do? -- Thanks in advance, Renzo Contarini Tag: GUI: "Control Panel-like" form? Tag: 90488

    - USB KITL implementation problem. I am developing with Magento. I have tried to implement USB KITL in our device and met a problem. I have refered Intel Mainstone BSP and some part of code I have modified and some part copy&pasted. I have downloaded image with USB download program that our team developed. and then unplug and plug USB cable then Intel Xscale reference design device was attached After attaching device in platform builder 5.0, pfnEncode and pfnSend function is called but after that pfnRecv function does not seem to work properly. pfnRecv function is called repeatedly till I shutdown device. and message shows no packet is received(packet size is 0) and sometimes checksum does not same as crc and pfnRecv function is called time and time again. I almost copy & pasted pfnRecv function from Mainstone BSP which I have confirmed USB kitl works properly and I don't think there is problem in this function. I have no idea what is wrong. Please let me solve this problem. Thanks. -- follow-up is limited to microsoft.public.windowsce.platbuilder -- Remove .n0zpam to send e-mail to me Tag: GUI: "Control Panel-like" form? Tag: 90479

    - LSP on PocketPC 2003 (Win CE 4.2) Hi, I am trying to install LSP Sample application on Pocket PC 2003. I build the sample code. I also made the registry entries under HKLM\Comm\WS2\LSP\<my lsp> to load the lsp dll during startup. I also implemented DllRegisterServer function in the LSP.dll which will install the lsp. After all this when I re-start the pocket pc, through Remote process viewer I can see that under Device.exe my LSP.dll is getting loaded. But DllRegisterServer() is not getting called by WinCE which will install the LSP. I can say this because this function is making some registry entries and none of them has been created. Other problem is that my LSP is getting loaded only under Device.exe, not under other Apps like iExplorer etc. To debug the problem I used a logging dll. When I start logging messages using this dll from the DllMain (in the LSP.dll), my Pocket PC is frozen and does not boot and needs hard reset. Any idea why? I would appreciate if somebody can help to resolve these issues. Also what is the best way to debug LSP on windows CE? Regards, -Ajay Tag: GUI: "Control Panel-like" form? Tag: 90478

    - How to find out whether an application is DPI / Hi-Res aware? Hi, My driver manages applications by sending them various events including mouse up/down messages. It used to work for many years until this madness started with Windows Mobile 2003 SE emulation layer. Currently I have Dell X50 VGA and iPaq 4700 VGA. My driver works OK in Excel, but fails in Word. I found that when I post WM_LBUTTONDOWN to Word, the emulation layer divides all coordinates by 2. It appears that Word is treated as a "legacy" application, but "Excel" as a "DPI-aware" application. To allow my driver to work with legacy applications I need to double the coordinates for them. Question: how can I figure out which application is "legacy" and which is "DPI-aware"? Is there an API or a flag for that? Or should I try to open the executable file and check for the subsystem version and "HI_RES_AWARE" resource (this would be very inconvenient)?

    - IrDA Problem Hi, I have some problems whit infrared with Pocket PC h2210 If Pocket PC stop while it is sending data via infrared to printer (ex: for soft-reset, or battery problem), then is impossible to send anything to this printer anymore. I do more soft-resets and it's impossible to connect. This Pocket PC can connect to other devices (phone, ActiveSync) and other Pocket PC can print. This ocurs until I do Hard-reset. Then it returns to work. Do you knou about this? I think that is Pocket Pc Irda problem. I'm printing on a serial printing using ActiSys IR100SL device. thanks, Tag: GUI: "Control Panel-like" form?

    - Hashtable and Collection Bounds Hi, I wonder if anyone knows about collection Bounds in Compact Framework. I want to save 500 or more substrings into a hashtable with an int key, but it throws an exception. Does anyone know if it's true that it just supports 400 values? or it's a programming mistake I am making. (I tried ListDictionary, HybridDictionary, Stack and Array)This is a piece of code where exception is thrown: cont=500 for (int i=0;i<=cont;i++){ input=sr.ReadLine(); subinput=input.Substring(5,6); id1= input.Substring(0,4); myhashtabla.Add(input,id1); } Thanx a lot! -- Cheers!

Hi,
Is there a way to create a form that looks like the Control Panel or
File Explorer, where you have a list of selectable icons and tapping
an icon fires an event?
I realize this can be done by using an empty form, adding bitmaps for
every icon and detect if a tap lies within the bounds of one of these
bitmaps, but I was hoping there might be a simpler way.

Yes, use a ListView just like Explorer or the COntrol Panel do.
