    - Control Panel Applet title bar Hi, All Control Panel setting windows have same layout: - Title is "Settings" - Name of applet is written under it in color matching theme. - A line is drawn. - The application (Dialog) is not displayed under running applications (Start > Settings > tab System > Memory > Running Programs). Questions: 1. Is there some reusable layout available to create control panel dialogs? (I am simply calling DialogBox() function). 2. The color of (sub) title, which color does it match? Is it a system color or theme color? How do I get this color? GetSysColor or send message to today screen (HWND == NULL) ? 3. How do I keep dialog bar title "Settings" from being displayed under Running Programs? Parent window should be invisible? Should it be settings window? If so, how do I find that window?

    - Custom USB device driver Hello List, I want to develop a USB device driver for a Windows Mobile 5 device. As far as I know I have to buy the Platform Builder to be able to create such a driver. Since I just want to develop a single device driver and not a whole device I don't want to buy the Platform Builder, so my questions is: Is there another option?

    - Newbie help: "Already installed" window on Intermec CN2B Pocket PC Hi all, I'm developing an application in .NET 2005 for the Intermec CN2B Pocket PC, but during a cold boot the installation hangs due to an "already installed" window.

    - AppVerifier woes Hi, I'm trying to make sense of AppVerifier logs. It's the first time I'm using it. My app does following things: Winmain: RegisterWindowClass(szWndClass) hWnd = CreateWindow(szWndClass...); while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0)) { TranslateMessage(&msg); DispatchMessage(&msg); } return 0; WinProc: switch(msg) { case WM_CREATE: RegistryNotifyWindow(SN_ROOT, SN_PATH, SN_VALUE, hWnd, WM_USER_SN, 0, NULL, &g_hNotify); break; case WM_DESTROY: RegistryCloseNotification(g_hNotify); PostQuitMessage(0); break; } Yet when I use app verifier, it complains about Load/FreeLibrary mismatch. I'm not even calling LoadLibrary myself anywhere. So what does this mean? Seems it's in AppVerifier's own files.

    - Issue with ceappmgr.exe Hi I create dynamically an .inf file, build the concerning cab, embed that cab in the resource of a dynamically compiled Setup.exe. When running the setup .exe it writes the ceappmgr.exe inf file, extracts the cab and runs ceappmgr.exe to install the cab. So far so good, this works fine as long as I extract the cab and write the inf file into a subfolder of Active Sync as is the 'best practice' . But if I extract the cab to another directory, invoking ceappmagr.exe throws an error: "Cannot install application because of an error in the setup file". Does anybody have an idea how to solve this issue ? Thanks Alex Tag: Disabling the homekey Tag: 124649

    - FindFirstDevice issue -- very weird I met some very very weird issue using FindFirstDevice. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and WM5 PPC SDK Following code works fine (either in emulator or real device -- imate JAQ3): int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { WCHAR * searchName= L""; ::DEVMGR_DEVICE_INFORMATION pdi; HANDLE h=::FindFirstDevice(DeviceSearchType::DeviceSearchByDeviceName,searchName,&pdi); return 0; } but , if we call "FindFirstDevice" in a function not main, it won't work (neither emulator nor real device work): like following code, it would return -1. void foo() { WCHAR * searchName= L""; ::DEVMGR_DEVICE_INFORMATION pdi; HANDLE h=::FindFirstDevice(DeviceSearchType::DeviceSearchByDeviceName,searchName,&pdi); } int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { foo(); return 0; } Or even we just call a memset to set pdi to 0 , it won't work int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { WCHAR * searchName= L""; ::DEVMGR_DEVICE_INFORMATION pdi; memset(&pdi,0,sizeof(DEVMGR_DEVICE_INFORMATION)); HANDLE h=::FindFirstDevice(DeviceSearchType::DeviceSearchByDeviceName,searchName,&pdi); return 0; } I"m pretty sure there must be something wrong with the implementation of this function -- sounds it rely on some random memory.

So, do I have to save the string buffer or does SHNotificationAdd COPY this to some internal buffer? If not, I must free this buffer myself after the call to SHNotioficationRemove ? 2.

    - How to determine if volume window is active? Can anyone help me out with this problem? I need a way to detect if the Volume window is active in a native C++ app on a PPC, either WM5 or WM6. Some devices activate the volume window by pressing an up or down key on the device. Other devices don't have a key assigned to volume but you activate the Volume window by tapping on the speaker icon in the task bar. I have a timer going so every interval I check the current foreground window. If it's not my app, I want to do one thing if it's the volume window, something else if it's anything else. Problem is I don't know how to distinguish the volume window from any other window. Can anyone help? Some of the things I've tried so far: Checked window text of the foreground window: it's empty (""), I was expecting/hoping for "Volume" Checked if foreground window is same as task bar. Task bar hwnd is determined by ::FindWindow(L"HHTaskBar", NULL): Foreground window is NOT the task bar Checked if foreground window is a child of task bar hwnd: Foreground window is NOT a child of the task bar (::IsChild(hWndTaskBar, hWndForeground) is FALSE) Is this a good way to check or should I use a different method to determine if the volume window is active? Any ideas? Thanks, J144 Tag: Disabling the homekey Tag: 124582

    - VS2005 Remote Tools Stopped Working Recently my VS2005 remote tools stopped working -- Remote Registry Editor, Remote Process Viewer, VS2005's VC++ deploy & remote debug, and so on. When these tools try to connect to the device, the connection attempt eventually just times out. If I open the Connectivity Manager Configuration window and try to test the connection, I get the message "The data necessary to complete this operation is not yet available". Oddly, the Transport and Startup Server config buttons are both clickable, but don't open any dialogs. I can't be certain, but all of this seems to have started about the same time that I installed MS Project 2007, and then followed up with some Windows and Office updates. Has anyone had anything similar to this happen to them? Incidentally, I also have EVC4 installed; the two have been peacefully coexisting for over a year now. But now EVC4's remote tools have also stopped working, for what it's worth. Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated! Tag: Disabling the homekey Tag: 124579

    - VS2005 DataSet problem Hi. I am building a Pocket PC app to test various things. In VS2005, I have a DataSet and in Server Explorer I have opened a Data Connection to a database (.sdf) on the device. Then I drop tables on the DataSet. This works OK for all tables except one, where I get a message: Failed to merge object(s). An item with the same key has already been added. This particular table has a primary key consisting of 3 short integers. As far as I can see, there is nothing wrong with this table as such. I can drop all the other tables onto the DataSet designer, only this one cannot coexist with any of the other ones. I may not be an advanced developer when it comes to working with the Compact Framework, but I am not a beginner either. Regards, Gudni Tag: Disabling the homekey Tag: 124576

    - Debugging Windows Mobile process in Visual Studio Hi, I installed Visual Studio 2005 and I want to run an ARM executable on Windows Mobile emulator, attach debugger to the process, set breakpoint at an API function and when the breakpoint is hit, save memory dump. I'm familiar with OllyDbg and I don't understand why simple things make so much trouble in VS. I start the process in emulator and attach debugger to it, then I can view memory at given address, but I can't dump a block of memory to a file since Save Dump As command in Debug menu is disabled. I can't set breakpoints on API functions either. I choose Breakpoint at Function and enter function name (such as CreateFile), but it says 'The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No executable code is currently loaded at this location'. I read somewhere that I first need to load symbols for modules loaded by the process. I found some pdb files in Visual Studio directory, but I can't figure out how they match modules loaded by the process (for example, which pdb file should be loaded for coredll.dll). I wish MSDN was more helpful, now I hope I'll get an answer here. bl4 Tag: Disabling the homekey Tag: 124562

    - emulator needs "Not using MFC" for MFC projects Hello, there is one (among others) strange thing about eVC4 that I'd like to understand. If I create a new MFC project with the "PocketPC 2003 MFC Project AppWizard", and I compile and execute it in the emulator, it doesn't work ("Cannot execute program"). But it runs on the device. If I change "Use MFC in a Shared DLL" to "Not using MFC" in Project- >Settings, it runs in the emulator, too. Why is this? Thanks Chris Tag: Disabling the homekey Tag: 124557

    - How to debug ActiveSync service providers? I've been trying debugging the StockPor example under Visudio Studio 2005, but it seems hard, if not impossible. First of all, I can't find a proper .exe module to load the DLLs (both desktop and device). Secondly, the DLL on the device side is always locked once the emulator is connected. The StockPor MSDN article did not mention how to debug it, but given the difficulty I experienced, I figure there has to be another article discussing how to debug ActiveSync service providers. Can someone tell me if such information is available? Or any tip you may have? Thank you. Tag: Disabling the homekey Tag: 124553

    - import project in eVC Hello, I want to port an application to WinCE (from Linux) which includes some ~100 source files. Does eVC4 have an option to import all source files below a certain directory? And, if possible, preserve the directory structure from disk in the solution explorer (for better orientation)? The only way I see at the moment, is to browse through the three levels of subdirectories of the application, create these directories in the solution explorer, and add the files to the project directory after directory. Can this be simplified? Chris Tag: Disabling the homekey Tag: 124550

Hi does anybody know how to disable the homekey on smartphone?
I'm using vs 2005 and smartphone 2003 and WM5.0. I have tried capturing the
key using RegisterHotKey (as suggested by people to solve this problem)
which captures the other soft keys just fine. However for the home key it
appears to miss the keydown key press so that home key continues to go to
the home screen. I have seen comment about using GX.DLL but I cannot find an
example... has anybody any examples?

The reason I need to stop the home key is that phone is not being used as
phone but to run a dedicated application.

Perhaps you want to purchase a kiosk application. This kind of programs
only allow you to run a limited list of applications.

What is that home key? The red one?
