    - EVC3.0 - PPC2002 - icon used by shortcuts (.lnk) not correct - IDR_MAINFRAME?? Hello. I've written an application with evc3.0 for my ipaq running pocketpc2002 and wanted to make an installer for it. Everything went fine (the program installs and unistalls on my ipaq without any problems) until I want a specific icon for my shortcut in the windows directory (\windows\start menu\programs\<link>). Since I gave the executable on the ipaq another name the icon I specified with the IDR_MAINFRAME isn't used for the link (all other icons - in the browser for example - are correct an reflect the changed idr_mainframe icon). I also checked the icons defined in the created .exe file: noone of these show the icon shown by the shortcut. So where does the icon come from? where is it stored? I would be very glad if someone could help me with this issue. I simply have no clue (after 4 hours of trying out) what I could do to fix the problem. thanx in advance marc Tag: New Developer Help...

    - Repost: Database synchronization I have a Pocket PC 2003 device and an MS Access database. I have setup synchronization between the device and the desktop to synchronize some database tables. I am using ActiveSync 3.7 to perform this function. I have the device set to synchronize only once upon connection. I am having an issue with the synchronization and would appreciate some help. Lets say I add 2 records to the Pocket PC. I sync and those records show up on the desktop. I remove those records from the Pocket PC. I sync but those records still remain on the desktop. I add another record to the Pocket PC and sync. Now, just the one new record shows up on the desktop. It appears that when the tables are emptied on the Pocket PC, it is not synchronizing correctly with the desktop. I see no errors in the Wcesmgr.log file. Is this how it is supposed to work? If not, what is set wrong with the synchronization settings? -- Greg Kelley SS&G Technology Consulting, LLC http://www.ssgtechnology.com Tag: New Developer Help... Tag: 70346

    - WIFI and scanning together Hello everybody, 1) How to have 802.11 connectivity for PDA along with scanning (bar code) ability? 2) It seems there are are dual slots available from Symbol for iPAq and compaq itself for iPaq. But do they have support for .net compact framework. http://www.racoindustries.com/symsps3000.htm is there a work around? 3) Symbol's dual slot, SPC a. Symbol SPS 3000 SDK available to support bar code scanning. Does it mean i have to write a wrapper around SDK to use in compact framework? b. it also says Fully compatible with Microsoft SDK for Pocket PCs. Does it mean support only for EVB / EVC and not for compact framework? 4) Is it possible to give hardware independent WIFI and SCANNING (bar code) together solution for an application developed in .net compact framework? 5) Can OpenNet.cf library for bar code scanning (for Socket scanner), be used from this Dual Slot option? 6) Is there any solution avaialable for supporting bar code scanning from compact framework + opennetCF librabry for socket IN HAND TYPE scanner? (And apart from Symbol of course). I do not want to writer wrappers around eVB code. With this either solution becomes specific to SOCKET scanner + ipAq dual slot OR Symbol PDA. I want avoid this Any help will be appreciated. Harsh Tag: New Developer Help... Tag: 70338

    - Accessing Command Bar Menu on iPaq Pocket PC All, I am going to pull my last hair out. This is a very simply problem and I can't seem to solve it.. any help appreciated. I am using Embedded Visual C++ 4 (ev4) to write a simple program of a new iPaq (5500) running Pocket PC 2003. UI is standard menu-on-the-bottom type. I have a simple menu defined in the sources -- diplays 2 main items: Fruits Veggies. "Fruits" contains "Apple" and "Veggies" contains "Celery." Now PROGRAMATICALLY (believe it or not), I want to add the string "Orange" to the menu item "Fruits." For the love of God I can't do it. I've tried the whole SHGetMenu/SHGetSubMenu thing, the CommandBar_ stuff, etc. to no avail. Is there some sort of Voodoo Pack I need to make this work? Any help appreicated (sincerely). Thx.

    - Pocket IE on POCKET PC 2003 device (Symbol 8846) Hi, We developed web based application using asp.net and MMIT. This application works for Internet explorer 5.5 above and Pocket IE browser. We use basic javascript on client side. It works fine for Pocket IE (Pocket PC2002). But same page does not work for PIE(PPC2003). Detail explaination: I have login page where user need to enter user id and password.They can enter either typing or using number keypad. (In login page we have created number pad using html buttons). If user does not enter anything and click on login it does client side validation and alert the message. If I run the same login page in PIE(PPC 2003) it gives javascript error that control not found. I am getting controls collection and checking the name of the control. Another thing is If I remove some of the controls from the page than it is finding the textbox control. Is there any limitation of controls on PIE(PPC2003)? Thanks Bhrugesh Tag: New Developer Help...

    - eVC controls under CF .NET Hi! I am using PInvoke to create the native ( eVC 4.0 ) Date Time Picker control within my managed CF .NET program. The eVC call is using WidowsCreateEx ( yes, I found the manage code for that control in the posts here, but I still would like to try my method ). The control is created just fine, but later on I have some problems extracting the information from it or controling it. Is this approach ( creating the native MFC controls from .NET ) "legal"? Any examples somewhere how this type of controls are created and used later on? Any pointers on how to best managed controls created in this fashion? Tag: New Developer Help... Tag: 70276

    - Bluetooth programming Dear all, I am currently trying to establish a one-way traffic via bluetooth from a Comtec bluetooth radio module to an HP iPAC with built-in bluetooth running on Windows CE.net 4.2. HP iPACs are based on Widcomm Bluetooth stack instead of Microsoft's stack built in Windows CE operating system. Hence, there isn't native support of Bluetooth through WINSOCK framework. Therefore, I am trying to establish connections via the virtual COM port since it is still allowed. I have 2 questions: 1. For the PDA to discover the remote Bluetooth Radio module, I have to call a WSALookupServiceBegin() function which is within the Winsock.h header. Since the Widcomm Bluetooth cannot support winsock framework, can I still use this function to discover the device and communicate through the virtual COM port? 2. If I am not allowed to do the former, must I find the device through the OBEX layer of bluetooth stack? And if I must use the OBEX layer to find the device, can I still use the virtual COM port to establish connection or must I also use the OBEX layer to connect? 3. If you want me to see you on programming the bluetooth in the HP iPAC, I will be most glad! I sincerely appreciate your time and precious help on this. Thank you very much.

    - BAR CODE related URGENT! 1) how to use TTF font for bar code generation. I need the procedure. I am using the compact framework for development (C#). I am looking for step by step instructions. I want to print the generated BAR CODE not display on form. I plan to use the PRINTERCE.cf dll by fieldsoftware. 2) i am newbie for pocket pc development.. hence looking for elaborate answers: - a) Can bar code scanning be done using the key board port? b) Where is keyboad port situated? c)Does it come with all the pocket PC devices? d) Do all the scanner support such functionality? d)If bar code scanning is possible using key board port from all scanners and for all PDAs, (and from what i understand, then it does not require any support of SDK for .net), then why there are SDKs available for bar code scanning? 3)a. Does the thermal printer necessarily mean with a seperate network IP? b. Or can be attached to a PDA device. c. If it can be attached to a PDA device, then does it mean PDA device should have a seperate socket for attaching it ? 4) a. The most important, Can ALL The PDAs be used to support wireless ethernet as well as scanning options at the same time? b. If there is no in built support for both scanning and ethernet connectivity together, can there be solution to all PDAs like expasion pack mentioned in http://www.racoindustries.com/symsps3000.htm 5) Anybody aware about the performance of HP SDK for .net compact framework? 6) Does this all necessarily indicate to got for SYMBOL?

    - Problem with sub menu in sub menu I'm developing an application that should on run on multiple devices and PPC versions. It is an MFC project with "Basic Command Bar". If I use a menu with a popup menu in a popup menu, it works fine on PPC2002 device and emulator, Palm-size device and emulator and also on a PPC(2000) device. In the PPC(2000) emulator my application crashes with an Unhandled Exception (Access Violation). Debugging the application I detected that it crashes in CCeCommandBar::InsertMenuBar in function MenuItemStringStrip() when API function SetMenuItemInfo is called. In another (new) project I don't see the text I entered for that menu item. Instead I see some squares; sometimes instead of a square a letter (sometimes arabic, cyrillic, hebraic, ...). It only happens on my emulator not in the device. I can't see what I'm doing wrong because I do nothing. Just added a menu item to a menu item and checked "Pop- up".

    - Print over Irda Hi, I have an application that sends data with Winsock over Irda to a mobile printer. It's works well on a PocketPC 2002 (MDA). But the new Windows Mobile 2003 PPC (Toshiba e800) prints very slow. Offen the PPC lost his connection. The transmission to other devices like phone is very slow too and hangs some time.

    - Limitations on the compact framework. Hi. Im new at developing towards the Pocket PC platform. I have programmed normal windows applications in .NET before. The question im having is as follows: Due to the limitations in the Compact Framework i realize there are a number of properties for instance that will not work in the Pocket PC environment. For instance the BackColor property on a label. However in Visual Studio intellisense provides you with all the properties and methods. Is there somewhere a list or document stating what methods and properties are supported for the various classes to see what will actually work on the Pocket PC? And if you have links to Open Source places around the web where people discuss and show examples of derived controls needed due to the above mentioned limitations I would greatly appreciate it.

Is there any other alternative available apart from BarcodeCE from field software which doesn't supports PPC2000 ? I am also finding it difficult to provide printing option in my application as again the available options are very less i.e. 1. use Symbol Device,symbol Printer 2. use Symbol sps 3000 for iPaq and use Symbol microFlash (MF) Series. Once again if I want to use printer then PrinterCE looks like the only option but here again it doesn't supports PPC2000. Let me clearly tell you what type of solution we are trying to provide. 1. Provide WLAN accessibility. We don't have any problem as already our applications previous version provide this facility 2. Barcode Scanning. We have found 2 solutions. 1. Use symbol device with scanner and inbuilt WLAN support. 2. Use iPaq and SPS 3000. 3. Barcode Generation. We have found 2 solutions with doubts.1. Use Symbol device 2.Use iPaq and use TTF or BarcodeCE(no support for PPC) 4. Barcode Printing. We have found 2 solutions with doubts.1.

    - rasdial problem, pocketpc 2003 I'm testing a deployed pocketpc 2002 app on ppc2003 One problem: RasDial seems to always fail. The model light comes on as if it is dialing but the connection is always dropped after the same amount of time it usually takes to connect. However, it dials fine from IE or ConnectionManager. Were there any changes to RAS in PPC 2003 that would cause RasDial to fail? Tag: New Developer Help... Tag: 70231

    - Preventing auto power-down I have been calling: keybd_event(NULL,NULL,KEYEVENTF_SILENT|KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,NULL); periodically to keep the power from going off when my application is in running. It works on all Pocket PCs that I have tested. But I have heard from one of my clients that it is not working with the new Dell Axim X5 (with ROM version A05). Can anyone confirm that, and can anyone suggest a more fool-proof way of accomplishing the same end? -Robert Scott Ypsilanti, Michigan (Reply through newsgroups, not by direct e-mail, as automatic reply address is fake.)

I really want to get started developing on the Pocket PC. I have all the
tools one could desire. I'm trying to decide where to best spend my time
learning. I'm guessing it would not be productive to start with eVB since it
is no longer in development.

What are everyone's thoughts on using eVC++ vs VS.NET 2002 (VB or C#)?

Does anyone know of a tuturial that can help me get started and can walk me
through a few simple apps?

Thanks,
