    - Detecting window close on PocketPC Hello, How can one detect that the used has clicked the X button of the window? Windows CE doesn't send a WM_CLOSE message, but only a WM_ACTIVATE. But a WM_ACTIVATE could be caused by many other things, so it's not a reliable way to find that. thank you very much, Felipe Tag: Cursor disappears from textbox control for font sizes larger than 20 Tag: 126996

    - Windows CE window size Hello, I am writing a PocketPC application, and to get a window which is full screen, I use CW_USEDEFAULT on Width, Height, Left and Top on CreateWindowEx. Now, that produces a too large window. The bottom panel of the device is partially covered. What is the recommended way to create a window with the exact size of the screen, without covering the bottom panel? I know this is a very simple question, but I googled a lot and couldn't find an answer =( thank you very much, Felipe Tag: Cursor disappears from textbox control for font sizes larger than 20 Tag: 126995

    - Building free42 for Pocket PC Hi, all I just found out about a really cool emulator for the HP-42s called free42. You can download it from http://free42.sourceforge.net/ The source code is set up for Embedded C++ 3.0, and I'd like to build it with VS 2005. I tried to import the existing project files but it didn't work. Before I go to the trouble of recreating the project, I'm wondering if someone has already done this. If you have, please let me know!

    - Emulator to open local file on PC Hi, Related to a question I asked before, I'm using CF3.5 with VB.net and trying to get the emulator to open a local file on the laptop hard disk - so far unsuccessfully ! (although it works fine on the PDA) I'm also using a database sqlserverce - which the emulator can find ! The database file is located in the application root directory "C:\vb\pda" However when I use the same code to try and open another file e.g. image or text file I get a directory not found error Here is the code to get local file path: Public Function GetAppPath() As String Return System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName( _ System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase) End Function However when I try the following code it can't find the file / directory Bigpicture.image = new bitmap("\Program Files\test1\remove.jpg") Here is the code that successfully locates the path for the database file: Public pth As String = (System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.GetName.CodeBase) + "\MyDatabase#1.sdf") (Although when I show the 'path' with a Msgbox statement, it says "\Program Files\test1\MyDatabase#1.sdf" which I find confusing (test1 is the name of the project), however the application path is "C:\vb\pda" ! I've tried the same code to open a local file, but it never finds it - and I've tried all variations ! I read somewhere that the emulator can access the "My Documents" folder on a PC, but I don't know how to do this ? Any help would be appreciated !

    - Garbage Collector Trauma Hi I have an application written in VB.NET for windows mobile 2005 device. In addition I have 2 unmanaged DLL's written in C which the VB app uses. The app runs absolutely fine until the system garbage collector gets triggered, at which point one of my DLL's (in which I create a separate thread for some sound recording task) thread gets suspended and never gets up after that. At this point my application just stops working. Is there any way I can mark my THREAD as GC-SAFE so that GC just bypasses it during its sweep operations. The intriguiing part is, if I manually trigger the GC with the following lines (executing these lines quite regularly) GC.Collect() GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers() GC.Collect() then it seems to be working fine, even when the GC is virtually always on. Anyone has any say on this please advise as I am not convinced with calling the GC commands from within the application.

    - Setting a static IP / Registry values in hex vs. hex(7) (CE4.2) I'm trying to programmatically set a static ip address / gateway / mask on my device. There's no API so far as I'm aware so I've tried writing directly to the registry. Dumping the registry before and after setting a static IP address manually gives me: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\P5001\Parms\TcpIp] "DefaultGateway"=hex(7):\ 32,32,32,2e,32,32,32,2e,32,32,32,2e,32,32,32,00,00,00,00 "Subnetmask"=hex(7):\ ... [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WZCSVC\Parameters] "ContextSettings"=hex:\ b8,0b,00,00,00,00,00,70,d0,07,00,00,89,13,00,00,88,13,00,00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WZCSVC\Parameters\Interfaces \P5001] "ActiveSettings"=hex:\ b4,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\ ... But after writing these values in manually, the ip addresses dialog comes up with empty entries. If I dump the registry now I get [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\P5001\Parms\TcpIp] "DefaultGateway"=hex:\ 32,32,32,2e,32,32,32,2e,32,32,32,2e,32,32,32,00,00,00,00 You'll notice that the registry type in the first case is hex(7):\ and in the second is just hex:\ Could this be why I'm not setting these values correctly? I can't see any way of writing a registry type as hex(7) vs hex RegSetValueEx(m_hkey, pcszKey, 0, REG_BINARY, (PBYTE)pData, cbData) Thanks for any suggestions.

    - How to enable 'Display mixed content' for internet explorer mobile Hi there, My device is ASUS 525 and it has been upgraded to Windows Mobile 6. When I browse some web pages which contain both http and https contents, there is always a warning message 'This page contains both secure and nonsecure items' pops out and request my confirm to continue. I know for desktop internet explorer such prompt can be turned off by modifying an setting named 'Display mixed content' in security policy setting page. But since there is no such customization settings for internet explorer mobile, how should I do to turn this warning off? -- Best Regards, Matt Tag: Cursor disappears from textbox control for font sizes larger than 20 Tag: 126949

    - VS2008 #^$@!$ and its wizards OK, so I migrated from VC6 and eVC to Vis. Studio 2008, and it is the pits.... The latest migrane headache: I needed a quick utility so I created a new Smart Devices dialog based project. Added a couple of controls to dialog, and started connecting them to code. Double click on a button expecting that this will cause "add OnClick" to the MFC class based on that dialog. Instead I get "Add/Remove operation is impossible, because the code element fileName is read only". All other wizards like add new variable, or add message handler fail also. I have some other (complex) programs that I "imported" from eVC. In these projects wizards do work. How do I enable them in a new project?? Yes, I do know how to do these things manually...

    - Invoking WMP on Windows Mobile 6 - C++ Hi All I'm trying to invoke WMP on a Windows Mobile 6 device - with not too much success. The code snippet that I use is: IWMPPlayer *pWP; IWMPSettings *pWPSet; IWMPControls *pWPCtrl; CoInitializeEx(NULL,COINIT_MULTITHREADED); HRESULT hr = S_OK; CComBSTR bstrVersionInfo; BSTR mybstr; hr = CoCreateInstance( __uuidof(WindowsMediaPlayer), NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, __uuidof (IWMPPlayer4),(void **)&pWP); hr = pWP->QueryInterface(__uuidof(IWMPSettings), (void **)&pWPSet); hr = pWP->QueryInterface(__uuidof(IWMPControls), (void **)&pWPCtrl); mybstr = SysAllocString(L"\testmp3\Alarm3.wma"); //hr = pWP->openPlayer(mybstr); hr = pWPSet->put_autoStart(TRUE); hr = pWP->put_URL(mybstr); Issue No.1: All the hr's are expected values except for put_URL() which returns a S_FALSE - which I later found is ok. When I alternatively try to use the openPlayer method it returns E_NOIMPL which is also supposed to be fine for WMP version 10 according to MSDN docs. But inspite of all this there's nothing happening on my mobile device. What am I doing wrong??? BTw I also tried using get_controls and get_settings instead of queryInterface method - still nothing. The process seems so straight forward - but I'm clueless as to what's going on. Also, I tried using a proper URL instead of a file name - still zilch. Issue No.2: When I try to include atlhost.h to my sln it returns an error that CAxWindow is not declared. I'm able to compile and work the sln fine with atlbase.h and atlwin.h. Why is there a problem with atlhost.h. Issue No.3: If I ever get to solve issue no.1, I want to try invoking WMP in the windowless mode. The MSDN docs talk about the IOleInPlaceObjectWindowless interface to achieve this, but I'm not clear on how to use it. Any pointers there will be appreciated. Sorry for the long post - but this is really driving me crazy - what am I missing out??? Any help here will be hugely appreciated!!!

    - Capturing stylus input anywhere on the screen Hi, I need to capture the stylus input, when the stylus is pressed anywhere on the screen (outside the bounds of my application), much like the "write anywhere" option of the transcriber. I was able to create a SIP (soft input panel) application, and I can capture the stylus input in that application window. If I use the SetCapture() function, I can capture the whole stroke, only if it started within the bounds of the SIP, and later dragged outside the window bounds. But how can I capture it when the stroke starts outside the bounds of my application ? Any help will be appreciated.

    - PowerPolicyNotify(PPN_UNATTENDEDMODE,TRUE) doesn't have desired ef Hi All, I have a .NETCF2 app written in C# that p/invokes into the native power API to set the power policy during execution of the application. The application needs to keep executing even if an attempt to suspend occurs. I discovered that PowerPolicyNotify() can be called to set a state called unattendedmode which prevents the device from truely stopping execution. I am using an Ipaq HW6915 running windows mobile 5 and the Microsoft Messaging and Security feature pack. I call PowerPolicyNotify with the PPN_UNATTENDEDMODE flag and the result returns true. This might be wrong as my p/invoke declaration maybe incorrect, here it is: [DllImport("coredll.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Unicode)] private static extern bool PowerPolicyNotify(int dwMessage, int dwData); basically I call this function like: bool bResult = PowerPolicyNotify((int)PPN_Message.PPN_UNATTENDEDMODE, (bState == true ? 1 : 0)); The application runs a worker thread that is using a PUSH type mechanism over HTTPS. When the request returns with a action result it calls back into the main thread and brings up a notification. If I manually switch the device with the power button when the notification returns the display activates and shows the notification ok. If the device decides to suspend after its own timeout things go very hairy. The notification does not wake the device and once the device is manually resumed the worker thread appears to have stopped. It doesn't even resume the code and make another request. I cannot debug it as its not running over activesync but over GPRS. I can get over it by manually changing the device power policy not to switch off the device but this is a config overhead. Also the application sometimes freezes with a wait cursor once it resumes after a deep suspend like this. I could look at why but I don't want the device going into a deep sleep. Is there anything I'm doing wrong or something else I should be doing? Is this just down to the device implementation of this policy itself? Am I correct to assume just one call to set this policy at app startup is enough? Many Thanks Richard Tag: Cursor disappears from textbox control for font sizes larger than 20 Tag: 126890

    - Audio buffer problems on WM5 Hi, We are developing an app for Windows Mobile 5.0 PPC and Smartphone that requires audio capture and play using wave API. We have 2 thread time_critical priority threads handling the capture and playback. We are using CALLBACK FUNCTION it the waveOutOpen/waveInopen fucntions, Currently we have 25 buffers each allocated for capture and playback. The buffer size is 160 bytes of 16 bit samples at 8Khz. SO we are buffering 25 x 10ms for capture and playback. The capture is working fine, however the playback works very well for about 20 seconds then starts to stutter after a couple minutes it comes back good for 20secs then goes bad for 2 minutes agains and so on. Can anyone suggest how many buffers we should be using typically and how what size the buffers should be. Thanks Tag: Cursor disappears from textbox control for font sizes larger than 20 Tag: 126880

My understanding is that each time you call RegEnumValue it starts from item no 1 and counts down to the one you wish, which by the time you get to item 60000 is SLOW....

    - Help with Intermec cab file creation/installation I'm developing applications that run on Intermec 700 and CN2 barcode scanners. The application gets installed on the "external" memory card. CabWiz (I'm not sure if it's Intermec's version or Microsoft's) allows the InstallDir variable to contain multiple paths separated by a '$' to be specified. Doing this causes the cab file to be installed in the first valid location in the list. An example would be: InstallDir="\Storage Card$\SDMMC Disk$\Program Files" If the "\Storage Card" directory is not valid, then "\SDMMC Disk" is used. If that is not valid, then "\Program Files" is used. This method works fine...except when you get into the area of custom setup DLLs. When a custom setup DLL is used, the entire InstallDir string is used instead of checking each directory. In the custom DLL code, I'm able to get the name of the storage card location ("\Storage Card" on CN2 and "\SDMMC Disk" on 700). But, none of this matters when the cab file is putting files into the "InstallDir" directory. I'm suspecting that the Intermec CE_Setup.dll is the culprit. I think it has the logic built in to parse and check the InstallDir variable and set the actual installation directory. I need to know how to do this. There are entries in some files that I need to change to have the installation directory. Thanks, Kevin Tag: Cursor disappears from textbox control for font sizes larger than 20 Tag: 126858

I'm probably missing something here but it doesn't seem to be that simple.

I'm using the PhysicalAddressPointer class, by Chris Tacke, in the following page to access to physical address: http://blog.opennetcf.org/ctacke/PermaLink,guid,9a6c5e09-1bd1-4603-99b7-11310c06b68b.aspx I'm using it this way: PhysicalAddressPointer myDevice = new PhysicalAddressPointer(Device_Address, 0x400); int Value = myDevice.ReadInt32(); Value |= 1; myDevice.WriteInt32(Value); for some reason, whenever I try to write (i.e Marshal.WriteInt32) I get an exception, and my application terminates. Does anyone know how to deal with it Thanks a lot Tag: Cursor disappears from textbox control for font sizes larger than 20 Tag: 126840

    - FakeGPS I am trying to use FakeGPS utility provided with WinMob6 SDK. Either whoever wrote it did not know NMEA standard, or GPS_POSITION documentation is faulty. In the latter longitude and latitude are specified as being in degrees. FakeGPS passes a value that is not. It just passes whatever it reads in file which is "encoded" ddmm.mmm (for latitude). At this point I do not know if it distinguishes NS and EW. Anyone knows what should it be? Cheers, Hneryk Birecki Tag: Cursor disappears from textbox control for font sizes larger than 20 Tag: 126833

    - Problem with brushes and colors Hello, I am having a problem with Windows CE that is making me crazy. Any code setting background or brush color using GetSysColor doesn't seam to work. For example, this code doesn't work, the background doesn't paint in COLOR_HIGHLIGHT or COLOR_WINDOW, but rather always black: // fill the background if Enabled and Selected then lgBrush.lbColor := Windows.GetSysColor(COLOR_HIGHLIGHT) else lgBrush.lbColor := Windows.GetSysColor(COLOR_WINDOW); lgBrush.lbStyle := BS_SOLID; Brush := CreateBrushIndirect(lgBrush); Windows.FillRect(Data^._HDC, Windows.Rect(Data^.rcItem), Brush); DeleteObject(Brush); This code works perfectly: // fill the background if Enabled and Selected then Brush := Windows.GetSysColorBrush(COLOR_HIGHLIGHT) else Brush := Windows.GetSysColorBrush(COLOR_WINDOW); Windows.FillRect(Data^._HDC, Windows.Rect(Data^.rcItem), Brush); on the same place as the other, inside the handler of a WM_DRAWITEM event. Now, I've also put traps to check the value of GetSysColorBrush(COLOR_WINDOW) and what I don't get is that it's value seams to depend from where the code is! If I put a button on my form and make it tell me what the value of GetSysColorBrush(COLOR_WINDOW) is, he will say: $FFFFFF = white If I make a message box be created inside that WM_DRAWITEM event and make it tell me what the value of GetSysColorBrush(COLOR_WINDOW) is, it will say: $000000 = black =( And so my TCheckListBox item looks very ugly, see the image here: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Windows_CE_Development_Notes#TCheckListBox Any ideas why this crazy behavior? I'm using the Windows Mobile 5 Emulator. thank you very much, Felipe Tag: Cursor disappears from textbox control for font sizes larger than 20 Tag: 126831

    - Shutdown the device Hi, Does anybody know how to shutdown WM 6.0 device correctly inside the application? I'm aware that it's strongly not recommended to do that except from the Power manager directly. But I really need this functionality. I think that it's possible to implement that basing on the samples from Platform Builder. But I'm in a horror to implement that without having the correct documentation. I'm even not sure that it will work at all even if to implement all the required steps. May be someone has such an experience and can share it with me :) ...

    - Tab color Hello, I am making an ASP.NET page to run on a handheld scanner. The screen is pretty small and when you use the tab button to move from button it is hard to tell what button the tab index is on.

    - [Winsock]Questions about recv function Hi, I'm trying to write a server application which use SOCK_STREMS socket (TCP). By reading this page[1],I'm a bit confused about the behavior of this function: 1. is it a blocking function? If not,has it a timeout? 2. If it's not a blocking function,how can I set this function in blocking mode (to wait until data arriaves)? 3. When it receives data,what kind of character signals the end of transmission? Carriage return/line feed or NUL character? Thanks in advance for answering me. Have a good day.

    - Using USB to connect PDA to serial device Hello, world! I have an application on a PDA that connects to a device using Bluetooth and the virtual serial port 7 (or 8, depending on the make of PDA). I now need to connect directly from the USB port pn the PDA to a serial port on the device. We have a USB - serial adapter cable, but how do I talk to the USB port? Can it be simple? Most sites I've looked at seem rather complicated, getting down into serious technical coding that I never needed to do with Bluetooth and the virtual serial port. Any help welcome, especially some libraries that would make it nice and easy. I am working in VB.NET, currently in VS 2003 and CF 1, but I can upgrade if I have to, I'd just rather not, as this is basically for 1 customer, albeit quite a good one.

Hi,

I am working on an application which targets windows mobile 5.0 pocket
pc devices in C#2005.

Now the cursor shows for font sizes smaller than 20 for a multiline
textbox but it doesn't for larger font sizes.
I am sure the textbox is taking focus. Is there a workaround to make
it show ?
