    - Flight Mode On/Off Example Needed I'm looking for a way to completely disable flight mode on a SmartPhone. >From everything I've read that involves using ExTAPI with lineSetEquipmentState. Kicking around in the internet is a Alex Feinman's TAPI wrapper (1.6) but that does not seem to work at all on my device. I've been looking at the Extapi example in the SDK which clues me in a little bit in terms of calling the API but I am stuck trying to use P/ Invokes to get it working in managed C# code. If anyone can point me in the direction of an example of what I'm trying to do or tell me of some way to just completely disable flight mode on a device it'd be much appreciated.

    - Formatting Information I'm currently writing an app that has a lot of text based information, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to display and format this text. The text is supposed to be stored in a database and my app will read the text from that database and then format it appropriately within the PDA. This is the part I'm having trouble with - the fact that the text is dynamic and my WindowsForm has to adapt to it. Say I have the following (using HTML): <h2>Some Title</h2> <br> <b>Sub title: </b> <li>List item one</li> <li>List item two</li> <li>Sub list item two</li> <li>List item three</li> How can I format all of this information using standard WindowsForms controls? Do I just build a bunch of Windows.Forms.Labels and drop the text in? Would I be better off using real HTML (hosted on the PDA, not web) and loading it into the WebBrowser control? Thanks for any advice. Tag: Diagnosing a WMDC service provider error Tag: 121587

    - WM5 Cab file prompt for location Hi, I'm trying to port my app from a WM2003 device to WM5. When I am installing my cab files on the WM5 device, I am being prompted to, "Choose a location to install <cab name>", with options for "Device", "\SD Card", and "\Flash File Store". How do I get the cab files to tell the installer that I don't want to be prompted, that I know the destination location. The DestinationDirs are set in the inf file that created the cab files. My hardware is Intermec 761 (old) and the Intermec CN3 (new), if that makes any difference. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks. Carlos Tag: Diagnosing a WMDC service provider error Tag: 121577

    - Services in WM5.0 - PLEASE, HELP!!! Hi all, I've got an application developed for PocketPC 2003 where a service registered in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\ is loaded trough the function ActivateService. Now I have to translate and re-compile in VS2005 in order to execute it on a Windows Mobile 5.0 device. I've tryed using ActivateService, RegisterService and GetServiceHandle (even it's deprecated since WM5.0) from setup.dll's Install_Init and Install_Exit functions, but none of them work. In fact, none of the functions xxx_Init, xxx_Open, etc. are being called. The registry entry actually exists at the very moment I try any of those functions but, as they always fail, the installation can not complete and that registry entry disappears. What else can I do? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Tag: Diagnosing a WMDC service provider error Tag: 121570

    - localization Hi, My method for localizing app was to create seperate resource dll's, (dll containing only resources, like dialog and string resource), then dynamically load the correct resouce file during execution. However, in my IDE, I can't even type cyrillic or chinese characters (characters show up as ?) into the resource editor. Visual Studio doesn't like unicode resource files either. Currently, I'm loading my strings from XML file, but this doesn't work well. For example, on SmartPhone, when you change the regional settings, the language changes on your device immediately, and all (built-in) apps, and not only that, even the names of applications (shortcuts) change! Now, how does this work? I'm guessing the application has multiple string table resources, each for a different code page, and OS selects the match one? The resource editor only provides like 4 languages for your resource files though, english, german, french, local and neutral I think.. Can someone tell me how built-in apps have their shortcut names localized to whichever language the user selects? Lisa Tag: Diagnosing a WMDC service provider error Tag: 121562

    - File transfers between PC <> PocketPC In an application I work on I will exchange some data files when the Pocket PC is cradled. I will use RAPI from the desktop to copy files between PPC and desktop. I know about other ways to exchange data like using webservices, RDA etc but for this application it will be done by simple file transfer using RAPI. What happens is the following: 1) The desktop user start the the transfer process form the desktop application. 2) PPC application need to export some of the data from the application to a file. This is done either by the user pushing a transfer option in the PPC application or a program is started on the PPC by using RAPI. 3) Desktop application copy the exported file from 2) to Dekstop and process data 4) Desktop application copy files with data to be imported on the PPC (possibly changed lookup tables) 5) PPC application import the new files into the database. Step 5 could be done when the PPC application starts but the way this application will be run it might be that the application is still running. If I choose the option to have the user start the transfer process then it is pretty simple. Just wait for new files to be created then process them and reload the datasets. However when two processes are running and especially like this when on two separate computers it do raise some possible problems. One computer does not know how when a process has finished or not, but you can of course check for created files or having the desktop computer to write to registry when process is finished or something. But still, you need to be prepared for communication failures etc. I could probably also use the OpenNetCF filewatcher class to react when new files to process have arrived on the PPC. However, it would be best if the entire syncronization process could be initiated from the desktop application without the user having to do anything on the PPC. This should not be that hard to do, the desktop program could launch a separate program on the PPC using RAPI which exports and imports data. That seems like a clean and user friendly way to do it. However there is one problem that remains to be solved. If the PPC application is still running I need to either close it or to use some interprocess communication method (openNetCF?) to tell the application to refresh datasets etc. Questions: 1) Which method would you choose? Using a seperate program on PPC to export/improt data or have the user start the transfer process in the application? Any other betetr mthods to do this? 2) Can you show me some example shwo to use IPC with .NEt compact? Tag: Diagnosing a WMDC service provider error Tag: 121552

    - How to scroll a bitmap inside a today screen plugin? Hello! I have a problem creating a window with a vertical scroll bar. Here's what I try to do: HWND InitializeCustomItem(.... ....... g_hWnd = CreateWindow(appName, appName, WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | WS_VSCROLL, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, 240, 0, hwndParent, NULL, g_hInst, NULL) ; SCROLLINFO si; ZeroMemory(&si, sizeof(si)); si.cbSize = sizeof(si); si.fMask = SIF_POS | SIF_PAGE | SIF_RANGE | SIF_DISABLENOSCROLL; si.nPos = 50; si.nPage = 100; si.nMin = 0; si.nMax = appHeight; SetScrollInfo(g_hWnd, SB_VERT, &si, TRUE); . SetWindowLong(g_hWnd, GWL_WNDPROC, (LONG) WndProc); .... } LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND hwnd, UINT uimessage, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { ..... I set appHeight to 120 at the beginning. In response to WM_TODAYCUSTOM_QUERYREFRESHCACHE , I set the ptli->cyp to appHeight and return true (only once, of course, except for resizes) Later I create a bitmap: case WM_CREATE: { if (!done_once) { hBitmap = Test_NewDIBSection(appWidth, / *appHeight*/480, (void **) &bitmapa); hDC = GetDC(hwnd); hDCMem = CreateCompatibleDC(hDC); hOldBitmap = (HBITMAP) SelectObject(hDCMem, hBitmap); done_once = true; } .... } which works fine, however this bitmap is limited to the appHeight size, while I would very much like to scroll it down to see more. My window's scroll bar appears, but it doesn't move, as if everything there is to see is already shown. Also, the main today screen scroll bar appears if necessary - and it works fine, scrolling my bitmap, but unfortunately I need the internal scroll bar. I understand that I can probably do it manually by responding to WM_VSCROLL messages, but I doubt it would be as effective as a pro- made scrolling. Does anybody know (probably most do :-( ), how can I scroll my bitmap? I'm pretty sure that a smooth way to do it exists, but I am simply missing something and have no idea, what it might be. Thanks for any help! gegitor Tag: Diagnosing a WMDC service provider error Tag: 121547

    - Serial Communications: Wire -vs- Air I've got an application that uses serial communication. I select the COM port, then start listening to a data loop. If I use the wireless Bluetooth COM Port, the data I receive is: 0x1c 0x1c 0xfc 0xe0 0x0 (Loop) If I use the hardwired Serial COM Port, the data I receive is: 0xe 0x24 0xc3 0x29 0x55 (Loop) Does anyone see a similarity between the two sets of data? My Bluetooth device appears to be shifting the data, but I don't recognize anything. We have machines that send this data, and the Serial COM Port data is the correct data. The Bluetooth data is coming in wrong, but it is consistent and we receive the same number of bytes. Is there a more appropriate message board I could address this question?

    - Visual Studio Developer Certificates? Hello, I recently attended MEDC2007 and attended Jason Fuller's talk on Windows Mobile security. During that session, he talked about the special "Visual Studio Certificates" that can be installed to a device for remote debugging and tools. Unfortunately, I have no idea where to find these certificates. I seem to remember him saying that the carrier is the place to go, but T-Mobile disavows any knowledge of such certificates. I have a T-Mobile Dash and a T-Mobile SDA for testing. Can I get the necessary certificates for either of these? If so, where would I get them? If not, is there some other device I should be looking to use for remote debugging development (rather than just using the emulator)?

    - Detecting screen resolution (i.e. VGA) Hi all, I wrote an app some time ago for the ppc2003se operating system. Now, some folks are trying to use it in devices with VGA screens but complain that the form looks messy. How can I program for the lowest common denominator in order to have an app that runs in all the envrionments? Thanks in advance, Carlos. Tag: Diagnosing a WMDC service provider error Tag: 121447

    - Creating and linking static DLLs Hi I have a question about converting my apps existing dll to be statically linked to the exe and therefore make a single large exe, rather than it loading the dll at run-time. The app uses MFC (dynamically linked) and also the dll is an MFC extension DLL. I'm not too familiar with statically linking dll's, I know that the app can statically link to the MFC dll, but I want to know if it's possible for me to easily change the dll or the main exe to link the dll statically. I know that extension dlls must dynamically link to MFC, but would this prevent me from statically linking my dll to the app? Also, how do I statically link the app? At the moment I add the .lib file to the Additional Dependencies section of the linker settings, what do i need to change to tell vs2005 to link the dll statically? Or do I have to change something in the dll? I know this isn't strictly a PPC question but more of a c++/vs question but I am using a PPC so thought I'd start here :) Thanks Matt Tag: Diagnosing a WMDC service provider error Tag: 121439

(other Apps also uses same reg. key) This is happening only with WM5 devices. On Pocket PC 2003 Test.cab does not remove registry entries created by other app. How should I prevent this in WM5 ?

    - EDB and ActiveSync Hi, When a CEDB database is synchronized in an ActiveSync provider, the system will call the provider's ObjectNotify() method of the folder object. However, EDB does not call ObjectNotify() method. Are there any sample on how to track live changes when the Pocket PC is connected to the desktop PC? Are there sample codes on how to use CeGetChangedRecords()? Thanks, Herbert. Tag: Diagnosing a WMDC service provider error Tag: 121434

I'm trying to migrate a service provider from ActiveSync/Windows XP to
Windows Mobile Device Center/Windows Vista. It's my understanding but
not experience that the interface remains the same, so I'm trying to
figure out why synchronization runs without error, but my service
provider fails to run.

In the WMDC logs I see 4 exceptions right before my data type's
"Replacing native DataType" dump:

I looked at the wcesmgr*.mvu file (appears to be a copy of repl.dat
after the last sync) and it does include the CEDB rows from the
device.

* Any clues to what might be the problem?
* Additionally, anyone know where there's any developer information
out there for WMDC?
* Is it possible to remotely debug a service provider on a Vista
machine from an XP machine (I only have a license for the XP machine)?

Correction to my first post, the CEDB rows ARE NOT being written to
the desktop and aren't in the wcesmgr*.mvu files or repl.dat file.
