Windows Message problems on Today Screen Plugin
I've having some trouble with windows messages, as in which ones to intercept
and call for an invalidaterect.
With my plugin visible I can pop up a message box and position it over my
plugin briefly. When I remove the box, the plugin beneath it is a bunch of
gobbelty gook.
If I then select/deselect or navigate through the plugin's area if refreshes
normally.
I did notice that when I intercepted the WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED message, this
would not happen. Unfortunately, it would redraw me any time I navigated
around on the screen.
I've got a bug somewhere in my redraw code for my icon and text that's
causing the screen to flash even though I'm using double buffering. So this
particular issue is troublesome. I'm sure I can figure out the problem with
my double buffering but I'm a little confused on the windows message
interception thing.
Does anyone have any advice on how to tell when my plugin has been uncovered
so I can tell it to repaint itself properly? Or could it perhaps something in
the way I'm painting my background/watermark? I can give more details as
needed. I'm just not sure what to show first.
I think once I get this thing fully functional I'm going to rip out the
company specific stuff in it and post it as a full example of how to handle
today plugins. Every tutorial and sample code i've been finding gives me only
a little bit. Bits and pieces and then I have to continue digging for each
new case that comes up ( like with the plugin being covered by a message box
). Hopefully I can help save somebody a few steps.
Thanks,

Scrolling a dialog
Hi,
Can anyone point me in the direction of a sample which scrolls a dialog
containing child controls?
It seems a reasonable thing to do - but none of the sample projects
demonstrate it.
For instance the demo CECamara presents an entry dialog with controls and a
scrollbar, yet the scrolling is not implemented.
I've hunted around and found a few code snippets that give a hint on how to
do it but I have been unsuccessful - my code either does nothing or crashes
the emulator.
I am working in native win32 C++ and such an example would be great, but
even an MFC example which worked would be appreciated as at least it might
put me on the right track.

Get Bitmap of a Form or Control
Hey gang.
I am looking to do some alpha transparency / transparent Panels in NETCF. Is
there any PInvoke functions to get a bitmap from a control?
I am not looking to just get a bitmap from an owner drawn control. I want
the real image of whats on screen behind a Control somehow. So if I have a
Button behind a Panel I can paint the image of what is behind the Panel as
the Panel's BG. Making it seem transparent.
In NETCF many objects don't support a BackColor = Color.Transparent so this
is what I am trying to achieve for Panels, Labels etc. So that controls
behind them show through.
I know in Vista there is a DrawToBitmap API but is there anything I can do
to achieve something similiar?
Maybe not force a control to draw to a bitmap but capture the controls
bitmap through a handle or atleast a form then I can crop based on control
Bounds?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and take care. Tag: Free Prescription Assistance Tag: 125896

SIP Notifications
How do I resize my window as the SIP is brought up and down? SipGetInfo
tells me the current state (up or down), but how can I get notified of
changes?
SipRegisterNotification at first seemed like the answer, but the docs say
this:
Only one application can register a window to receive software-based input
panel notifications. This registration remains in effect until the device is
either cold or warm booted. Tag: Free Prescription Assistance Tag: 125888
SIP Input Method
I have developed an input method. My understanding of how the sip
operates is that you press a button on the sip's bitmap. The input
panel sends coordinates ot the input method. The input method uses
those coordinates to determine what button was pressed. Is there any
way to send coordinate information to the input method? Fake the
input method into believing a button was pressed by sending the
coordinates of a button on the bitmap to the input method to be
displayed in the edit control?

PPC Today Screen Plugin - The Saga Continues
I'm getting close to the end now and thus the wierdness is getting more
frustrating.
My today screen plugin looks all nice and spiffy except the icon is just a
little too big for my tastes. The customer said it looked fine so I'm not
gonna worry about it. My code is all written in generic GDI that should work
just as well on the desktop in a window as it does on the PPC. It worked just
great on the Smartphone. I've organized it so that essentially all you need
to do is pass in your icon and your text along with your HDC and your fore,
back & transparency color and it handles the rest. All neat and clean and
black boxy.
It took some doing to get it working on the PPC. The PPC would literally
lock up on the first paint event it got. But I discovered what the problem
was and fixed it. Now it's working good except, there is a matter of the
background in a Today screen. It's apparently got some sort of watermark I
need to contend to that is only passed in to the plugin on a WM_ERASEBKGND
event.
If I allow the SDK example code to handle the background erasing and
painting, everything is where it should be looking good up until the point
where you use the 8125's directional pad to move the plugin selector up and
down. If the selector moves into or out of my plugin's area the whole screen
flashes for about 1/4 of a second and repaints. All the code's actually doing
is sending another windows message with the watermark as a parameter to it's
own window handle.
If I set the result in the WM_ERASEBKGND event to TRUE and comment out that
code, I get my plugin stuff just fine but with a background of various memory
spoo that hasn't been erased.
I have a function to paint backgrounds in my ScreenHandler class. Right now
it only handles colors but I could easily add another to paint backgrounds.
I just need to know how I can get the section of the watermark ( or the
whole watermark ) I need so I can pass it into my Redraw method. I've done a
bunch of searching, even in here, and I find it odd that I'm not finding
anything dealing with self drawn watermark backgrounds in a Today plugin.
Obviously somebody knows how to do this correctly since the other plugins
don't flash when you select them.
Does anyone know how to do this properly? Do I need to load the background
and cut out the section I need and double buffer it behind my icon and text?
I can show my existing code if that'll help.
Thanks in advance, I'll be glad when I can put this behind me.

How to remove PPC 'Setup' app
Greetings,
I'm pretty good with C# but I'm a relative newb when it comes to C++ in
general and mobile development in particular. I'm basically learning the
trade as I go. Unfortunately this also means I make a lot of bonehead coding
mistakes that more experienced devs wouldn't. As a result I have to hard
reset my device a lot.
I'm pretty sure the answer to this question will be 'No', but I figured I'd
ask anyway just in case. I've done a bunch of net searching and haven't found
much on this topic. Just people complaining basically.
I'm REALLY sick of seeing the initial setup screens after a hard reset. I'd
really just like to get back to trying to figure out what I did wrong and not
have to jump through a bunch of hoops I don't care about. This isn't a
consumer device and it'll probably never be one. It's a development machine.
What I'm talking about ( specifically on the 8125 ) is the initial setup
applet that shows: Align Screen, Location, Stylus ( which does nothing) ,
Popup Menus and Password and you need to step through all of them to get to
the today screen. I really don't need a tutorial on how to copy and paste,
nor do I particularly care what timezone I'm in and I don't care about a
password so at least four of those screens are a waste of my time. I have
developed on other devices that have differing screens and some that have
'skip' buttons on them ( which I really love )
They are probably OEM built, but is there a way to remove these screens all
together? Or perhaps to get a ROM update which either eliminates them or adds
the 'skip' button so I can get back to work quicker? Surely I'm not the only
person who has complain about these screens. The only one I can see really
needing to appear would be the alignment screen, though if you poke anywhere
in the vicinity of the crosshairs it still works just fine so I'm not so sure.
Anybody know anything about this?

Registry or .ini for settings storage?
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to decide what would be the best way to store my Pocket PC
application settings. My first choice is the registry, but I'm worried about
the security policy and read/write access since I'm not sure if my app will
be signed (initially).
From what I've read I'd need Privileged access to write to certain hives
(source: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms885964.aspx). But does
this mean that all other read and writes are fine, even for an unsigned app?
I plan on putting my settings in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MyCompany\MyApp\. Or, would it be better to put
them in HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead?
There's also the issue of backwards-compatibility since this app will be
running on WM 2003, 5 and 6 devices, plus potential restrictions with Phone
Edition devices.
Speaking of which, does anyone know of carriers restricting registry access
for unsigned applications on Pocket PC Phone Edition devices? I read that
there may be something similar with Smartphones, but I'm not sure about PPC's
If it helps, I'll be using native C++ with ATL.
So, to sum up: I'm mainly wondering if anyone would be willing to provide
some advice on the most widely used/accepted method of storing application
settings. Is there a "best practices" or common approach for this?
Thank you very much,

Incorrect position of CStatusBar in high DPI resolutions on startup
Hi!
I generated a simple MFC application (single document w/o document/
view architecture) with status bar using MFC AppWizard (eVC 4.0). I
made it HiDPI aware including CEUX resource, #including shguim.h,
#including uihelper.h, calling HiDPI_InitScaling in InitInstance.
If I start this application on VGA device, the status bar is
positioned off the window (its lower half is covered by the menu bar).
If I enter About dialog (also generated by the wizard) and close it,
the status bar is repositioned and shown correctly. This does not
happen on QVGA devices (I tried it in WM5 emulator). It is also ok (on
VGA and QVGA), if there is no CEUX resource.
At very first begining, I thought, that the height of the status bar
is calculated incorrectly, but after some hours I found out that its
height is ok and the source of this problem is the incorrect size of
main window (CMainFrame). Note: I was playing with RecalcLayout()
which did not work for me - of course, because the problem is
somewhere else.
So, I ended up with SetWindowPos called for the main window in
CMainFrame::OnCreate. For calculating the height of the main window,
I'm using the <screen height> - GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYMENU) - some
value. The value depends on the OS type (I was testing on PPC2003SE
and WM5 - emulator and I had to distinguish between them).
Is this problem known (I was searching the groups but with no
success)?
Is there a better solution how to fix this? I really do not like the
hack with distinguishing the device OS and using magic numbers for
correct window hight.

ActiveSync Service Provider for appointments in WM5
We have an ActiveSync Service Provider that synchronizes our desktop
appointments database to the Outlook appointments on Pocket PC 2003.
The synchronization does not work any more for Mobile 5 and 6 devices.
Here are details:
Whenever ObjectNotify is called on our device provider, we know
something has changed (or deleted) and if this notification concerns
our appointments we fill up OBJNOTIFY structure. But on Mobile 5 and
later ObjectNotify function gives us series of wrong oids not related
to IAppointments. What's worse, even if we pass through OBJNOTIFY
structure proper oid, ActiveSync never calls the Setup/GetPacket/Reset
sequence after that. It seems that notifications from EDB databases
(like Pocket Outlook on Mobile 5) are not correctly supported by
ActiveSync.
Is it possible to get proper notifications from ActiveSync like it was
on Pocket PC 2003?
We notice that original Outlook provider in Mobile 5 does not perform
continuously synchronization. It can only be triggered manually by
pressing the button Sync on ActiveSync Manager. We tried to follow
this way, but without success. Is it possible that Microsoft no more
uses ObjectNotify function for quering ActiveSync Provider for changed
items?
Has anyone implemented ActiveSync Service Provider on Mobile 5 using
Pocket Outlook, or anyone knows how Microsoft deals with the problem
we are having?

Development environments
Hi all,
I am a newbie on Pocket PC programming. I have been doing quite a bit of
research recently and have a few questions.
I was going to write in .NET (probably C#) as I have good knowledge of this
in an ASP.NET environment. However, reading vaious forums suggests that this
is quite slow compared to native code using Visual C++ (eVC++)
I have downloaded eVC++ and after about 4 days, managed to get a working
hello world app running. (Things missing, hardly any getting started guides
on the net and other stuff... I downloaded MANY MBs of different software to
get it going.)
So, here is what I want to do. I am concerned about the speed, hence the
reason I am looking at eVC, but as I don't have any background experience in
C++, will probably struggle to get anywhere.
eMbedded Visual Tools comes with visual basic as well as C++.
Would VB built with eVB also be faster than .NET?
Are there any eVC programming tutorials around that will help me to get to
grips with the language? (for example, step by step to creating some simple
applications, the step by step being suitable for a newbie. I have yet to
find anything.)
Can eVC and eVB easily communicate with .NET webservices?
Ultimately, I will also want to communicate directly with the inbuilt phone
hardware / software, such as communicating with the RIL and getting the IMEI
information. I know that .NET cannot connect to the RIL properly.
Parts of the app I want to build could be done in .NET, others in C++. Is
there easy ways of communicating, for example, if I were to write a C++ app
that contacted the RIL, could I get the C# app to talk to my C++ app to get
the information?
I will probably have many more questions, but these will help me to make an
informed decision as to which way I should go. Aside from these, your advice
would probably be useful.

How to get a command bar in my today item's dialog
Hi group
I've already written some small apps, some with quite a number of dialogs
and they all got their own menu.
Now I'm working on a today plugin which has an own options dialog. My
problem: I set it up to show the dialog when I tap on its area on the today
screen. But then the dialog has no command bar, thus no SIP as well. But
when I open the dialog through Settings->Today->Items there is such a bar
with a SIP.
Could you please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'd like to get a commandbar
which provides a SIP to enter settings.
Following is an excerpt from my options dialog procedure. I use the same
code in my other apps (that is, in dialogs that are opened within the
apps), where it works. Is there something evidently wrong here?
case WM_INITDIALOG:
SHINITDLGINFO shidi;
shidi.dwMask=SHIDIM_FLAGS;
shidi.hDlg=hDlg; // hDlg comes from function interface
shidi.dwFlags=SHIDIF_DONEBUTTON | SHIDIF_SIZEDLGFULLSCREEN;
SHInitDialog(&shidi);
hwndCB=CreateRpCommandBar(hDlg,IDM_OPTIONS);
hMenu=(HMENU)SendMessage(hwndCB,SHCMBM_GETMENU,(WPARAM)0,(LPARAM)0);
break;
hwndCB and hMenu are defined within the function as a static HWND and
HMENU, respectively. The menu resource IDM_OPTIONS exists, of course ;-)
The only difference I can think of is that in my other apps I have an own
main window which already brings along a commandbar in which the dialog's
menu is placed, whereas a today item's "main window" is embedded in the
today screen and therefore doesn't have that bar.
I'd apreciate any helpful answers.

Microsoft Mobile Internet Toolkit
Hi,
I'm starting to use ASP.NET mobile controls, and I read that I should
download the Microsoft Mobile Internet Toolkit
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=ae597f21-b8e4-416e-a28f-b124f41f9768&displaylang=en).
When I started running the setup it said that it might overwrite existing
files, and since the date on the download page was Jan 2002, I'm worried that
it will overwrite things like .NET Compact Framework or WM5 or PPC2003 SDK
files.
Does anyone know if the Internet Toolkit is included in later downloads, or
if there is a later safer version to install, or what files may be
overwritten? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any help,

PPC vSP You would think there would be some GUI consistency
I am trying to build an application which behaves as similarly as possible
on SP & PPC.
Microsoft suggest that you use common code where possible.
I create a simple spinner as in this example.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa457782.aspx#example_spinboxcontrol
It works fine cycling through the items on VK_LEFT/VK_RIGHT and tabbing on
VK_DOWN
Have I been able to get the same functionality on a PPC ? No way.
If anyone has been able to do so I would appreciate a code snippet (native
win32).
Thanks
PS I think *they* thought that anyone with a touch screen device will only
want to use the touchscreen. But this is NOT the case.
It is often more convenient to use the keybaord/Nav controls as shortcuts. Tag: Free Prescription Assistance Tag: 125787
Beam or Share Application
I have a shareware application, and I would like users to be able to
share the application with other users. In the Palm enviroment that

error 0x80070002 mobile development - camera
Hi,
I am using Visual Studio 2005 with win 5 PC Pocket and Smartphone Emulators.
1. The CeCamera C api code sample in the emulators gives the error: "An
unknown error: 0x80070002 occurred". I have no idea how to fix it.
The SHCameraCapture function returns an "E_ACCESSDENIED" or "The system
cannot find the file specified".
I'm new at win 5 development, on a dell computer I installed on Win XP Home
ed.SP2 < Activesync 4.1, .Net Compact Framework 2.0, VS 2005 prof.-try, win 5
- Pocket PC, Smartphone)
The C# sample gives an 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in
Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Forms.dll.
2. Can I use for example the videocap sample for both pcpocket and
smartphone.? I tested with the emulators, it goes... But in the readme of the
sample is specified that it requires pc pocket sdk.
I can't go further with the development. Please help.
Thanks.
PS.
I posted this question also to the msdn forum, smart devices development
(mative c api development). I hope that here it will be faster responsed. Tag: Free Prescription Assistance Tag: 125780
MoveWindow causes problems under WM50
MoveWindow API causes the "A problem has occurred with gwes.exe" error for me
under the both PPC WM50 Emulator and real device. At the same time the
MoveWindow changes the target window size as it should to and it looks like
everything works ok except of the gwes error popped. The parameters passed to
the MoveWindow looks like correct. Below is a cut from source code:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHMENUBARINFO mbi;
RECT rc, rcMenuBar;
// Create the window
const TCHAR* name = _T("Dummy");
hwndMainFrame = CreateWindow((const TCHAR*)mainFrameClass.classAtom, name,
//WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU | WS_THICKFRAME |
WS_MINIMIZEBOX,
WS_SYSMENU,
CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT,
CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT,
NULL, NULL,
mainFrameClass.instance, this);
if (!hwndMainFrame)
{
throw rdr::SystemException("unable to create MainClient window
instance", GetLastError());
}
memset(&mbi, 0, sizeof(SHMENUBARINFO));
mbi.cbSize = sizeof(SHMENUBARINFO);
mbi.hwndParent = hwndMainFrame;
mbi.nToolBarId = IDR_MENU;
mbi.hInstRes = ::GetModuleHandle(NULL);
if (!::SHCreateMenuBar(&mbi))
{
throw rdr::SystemException("unable to create menu bar", GetLastError());
}
m_hMenu = mbi.hwndMB;
::ShowWindow(m_hMenu, SW_HIDE);
::ShowWindow(hwndMainFrame, SW_HIDE);
GetWindowRect(hwndMainFrame, &rc);
GetWindowRect(m_hMenu, &rcMenuBar);
rc.bottom -= (rcMenuBar.bottom - rcMenuBar.top);
// The following MoveWindow caused the gwes error !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
::MoveWindow(hwndMainFrame, rc.left, rc.top,
rc.right - rc.left,
rc.bottom - rc.top,
FALSE)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once the MoveWindow is commented out everything works with no errors.
Visual Studio Debugger doesn't stop when the error is popping. The
Application Verifier gives nothing regarding the error.
Is there any way to fix the problem, please?
Many thanks. Tag: Free Prescription Assistance Tag: 125774
OpenNETCF GPS
Hi, I'm using opennetcf to try and connect my GPS. When I run the

keybd_event wont fire KeyDown event for VK_Return keycode on textbox?
Hi all,
I am working with C# CF2 on windows mobile 5 phone edition on a Symbol MC70
device.
For some reason the KeyDown Event doesn't fire when you use the keybd_event
to send the VK_Return= 0x0D.
If I use the hard keyboard Return I get.
KeyDown
KeyPress
KeyUp
KeyUp
If I use the soft keyboard Return or keybd_event and VK_Return I get.
KeyPress
KeyUp
If I use any of the three above methods (Soft keyboard, Hard keyboard or
keybd_event) to input Numbers, letters or even Delete then I get.
KeyDown
KeyPress
KeyUp
Which is what I would have expected from all of these scenarios.
I have tried setting the Textbox allow returns property and it had no
effect.
I have also tried setting the form key preview property to see if that would
make any difference.
This is the only post I have been able to find that even resembles my
problem, it is for the desktyop and it is the richtextcontrol, but I don't
really understand what the resolution to the problem was.
http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread249414.html
I really need to be able to send the VK_Return using keybd_event and have it
fire the Key Down event.
Any idea on how this can be done?
I have already tried moving my code that is running in the KeyDown to the
KeyUp but this has not been an acceptable solution to the problem as it
introduces to many bugs.
I have attached the code I have used for testing to the bottom of this post
I create all the controls dynamically so all that you need to do to test is
start a new single form project and past all this code over the top of your
form class code. The way to test is uncomment lines from the
textBox1_GotFocus event.
Thanks in advanced.

CLASS tag attribute on Internet Explorer Mobile
Hello,
I am developing a web application that should work on IEM too.
Trying the rendering on a htc pocket pc (wm5.0) I encountered a problem
rendering the XTHML "SELECT" tag. It seems that IEM doesn't take in
consideration the "class" attribute of the tag, so I am unable to specify any
kind of style for my select.
Do you have any suggestion for this? I tried with "style" attribute too, but
the result is the same. Thank you! Tag: Free Prescription Assistance Tag: 125750
Giving PPC Menu a Smartphone Menus functionality

Enter that number on the keypad and that menu item is selected.

Multiple forms (advanced programming, I think)
Hello!
I am developing an application for Pocket PC 2003 with Visual Studio
2005, C #, Compact Framework 2.0 and SQL Server CE.
Well, this application needs to use different forms to
display the contents of the database. In addition, these contents vary
depending on what is retrieved from the database.
My problem is a problem of efficiency in the execution of the application.
I looked through the internet and I have not found much about this topic.
Does anyone I might indicate a book about advanced programming for
mobile applications? If there is a book and a web address or article or
whatever, I do not care.
