    - Certain CABs hang on install Hello, I am creating an automatic installer for CAB files to be used on several different types of handheld devices. The program will be used to update an existing program all from the handheld with no desktop interaction. It uses CreateProcess to launch wceload with each cab as shown below: Const WAITNORM As Int32 = Int32.MaxValue Dim ExeName as String = "wceload.exe" Dim CmdLine as String = "/delete 0 " & Chr(34) & cabPath & Chr(34) Dim si(128) As Byte Dim pi As New ProcessInfo CreateProcess(ExeName, CmdLine, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, 0, 0, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, si, pi) WaitForSingleObject(pi.hThread, WAITNORM) CloseHandle(pi.hThread) CloseHandle(pi.hProcess) pi = Nothing It works perfect on Mobile 5 devices. However, some of my clients are using Pocket PC and WM2003. In both these cases, my application does not work for all my CAB files. In particular I'm having trouble with: sqlce.ppc3.arm.CAB netcf.hhp.wce4.armv4_2.04.CAB After running through the whole install, these CABs will hang when the installer reaches "Writing information for "Remove Programs"....". I've searched around quite a bit and haven't found anyone else running into this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance Greg G.

    - WM5 device vs. emulator I've been writing a new version of an app with VS2005 (before it was eVB), and I've specifically tested on 240x320 and VGA emulators, with success on both screen sizes. Problem is, as soon as I deploy the application to the device (in this case a Dell x51v with 240x320 screen) the display is not correct. For example I draw two rectangles which have a top line 2/3 down the screen, a bottom line 50 pixels below, are 50 pixels wide and flushed to left and right of the screen. I then create a HBRUSH, select it, then fill the rectangle. I've made sure I use the recommended functions to get the VERTRES and HORZRES figures so I can work out width and height, and use SCALEX and SCALEY for the other sizes. On the emulator, the screen draws correctly with a green box in the bottom left, and a blue box in bottom right. It's fine in both portrait resolutions. On the device, I never see the boxes, and I have no clue why. I am sure it's something I am doing (or not doing) and I'd be grateful for any ideas on where to look. Given the quality of display on many commercial applications, mine is very simple by comparison and I'm sure it's not that I'm trying to achieve something that is impossible. TIA, Mike.

I have seen references to similar types of requirements but in bits and pieces and haven't been able to get it to work. It appears it may require registry hacking?? Can someone please assist with: 1.

    - HTML Control and Browse Example (Not working with Unicode) Hi, I am adapting the Browse example of the Windows Mobile 5 SDK for use in my program (sample\cpp\win32\browse), and have a problem with the HTML Control. In the example, when a link is clicked, this generates an NM_HOTSPOT notification message, which is processed to get the address of the link. However, the NM_HOTSPOT is passed the link reference as an ASCII and not a UNICODE string, so that mbstowcs must be used to convert the string to UNICODE. I need to be able get a UNICODE string of the link address straight away, as if the link has non-Roman characters (such as Japanese etc.) they do not work in the example. It would appear that the NM_HOTSPOT is passed an NM_HTMLVIEWA and not a NM_HTMLVIEWW structure. Is there any way that I can acheive this? The project file is set up to compile for UNICODE, so I cannot understand why the HTML Control is not using it. Thanks, Stefan. Tag: Good book for programming for WM5 Tag: 114362

    - Help: "error RC1015: cannot open include file.." when compiling resource hi, i'm using vc2005, along with the mobile 5.0 sdk to compile an app for wince using wxWidgets. i'm getting this error when compiling my resource file when i add a line to include a file from the widgets directory. in my source code, there are also includes from this directory, which the compiler finds with no problem, which i have proved by taking that directory out of the "additional include directories", and getting errors of the files not found. the file i'm including is actually in a subdirectory of the directory included in the "additional..." line, but so are other files included in the source. (just realized that and thought i should mention that). now i have a number of sample widget apps that use this same include in their resource files, and they compile ok. i have spent quite a long time now trying to figure out the difference in the project settings, and just can't see anything different that would cause this. any thoughts on this? thanks, mickm Tag: Good book for programming for WM5 Tag: 114357

    - Pocket PC Software - Web or Application? Hi, We need to develop a new pocket pc mobile application. We have a few bullet points as follows: 1. Web based using ASP.NET so it runs via the internet. a. Depends upon pocket pc internet speed and geographical location. How fast would the application be? b. The updates to the main database would happen in real time. 2. Local application a. No dependency on geographical location or internet availability b. Need to merge the data at the end of the day with the master database. c. Will most probably run a lot faster. The application will mainly be a stock and sales tool, with vans going to customers who can then order goods from the vans. So the questions are: 1. What is the best method to use? 2. How hard is it to sync the data if we build a local application, and how would the data be stored initially? Your thoughts are most welcome. Thanks Z.

    - CAB uninstaller question: Delay file removal until reboot. Hello: Environment: Cab wizard, Pocket Pc or SmartPhone, EVC++ 4 We have developed a plugin architecture driven system, and are having trouble with the uninstallation of one of the plugins. The main problem stems from the fact that the CAB uninstaller tries to remove a file that has been recently unloaded (and COM holds on to the DLL for about 10 minutes), and the uninstall fails because COM still has not relinquished the file. We need some way (in the INF file or otherwise) to "mark" this file so that the CAB uninstaller waits for a device reboot to delete the file. Is this even possible? Thanks for any help. Cheers!

It continues to the top of the for loop without ever walking to the next item in the dialog template, so after if fails to find an item, it will continue to try to find the same item until the for loop ends. There is another 'continue' with the same problem on line 1029. Thanks... -Jason- Tag: Good book for programming for WM5 Tag: 114320

    - Identifying WAP Push SMS Hello, We're trying to test WAP Push provisioning over-the-air (OTA) via SMS by using two Windows Mobile devices - one as a sender, the other as a receiver. When the receiving device receives the provisioning message (the message just adds a new browser Favorite, and the message is unsigned), the following "Confirmation" prompt appears: "From unidentified sender: This changes device settings. Caution: unauthenticated message. Accept?" When hitting 'Yes', the Browser Favourite is created properly. Question 1: what does 'unidentified sender' mean? When sending a regular text SMS message, the receiving phone can decipher the sender's phone number, e.g. +61410022305. When receiving a WAP Push message, shouldn't the receiver know the message comes from a particular phone number? Or does 'unidentified sender' means something else. To send the provisioning message, we're using a modified version of the WDP_SMS sample code to send the message (the original code can be found in the 'Windows CE' SDK, e.g. in 'C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce500\Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone SDK\Samples\CPP\Win32\Cellcore\Wdp_sms') from the sending Windows Mobile device. Now, we've set up the WAP_ADDRESS's for the sender's number, and the receiver's number. Question 2: At present, the receiving device can only receive the provisioning message when the device is completely unlocked (we used 'unlock.xml' as attached here). We're trying to set up a Trusted Provisioning Server (TPS) and a Push Proxy Gateway (PPG) for the receiving device to accept messages from the sending device, as identified by a phone number. We tried doing this via 'WapTrustedGateway.xml' (as attached). However, the receiving device simply drops the incoming message without any prompt or messages. How do we set up the receiving device to only accept unsigned messages coming from the sending device by recognising the sender's phone number? Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    - CloseHandle (portHandle) doesn't release object in Mobile 5 Hi everybody, I have a problem with Mobile 5 device Pocket LOOX of Fujitsu/Siemens. It has internal GPS receiver and (may be) GPS Intermediate driver In MSDN documentation it is written that it can work fine with CreateFile,ReadFile and CloseHandle. They also say that in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver we can find Multiplexer driver, that says what port name can be used for CreateFile in Raw interface. I didn't find this registry key in this LOOX device. My app works fine on other devices, but here it doesn't allow to connect to the same port next time after i close it (CloseHandle). The handler is created by Create File for COM8: and Baudrate 9600. When i open another port (say COM1:) and close it, it allows to open COM8: , but fails to close Looks like openning another port releases object. Did anybody have the same problem with Mobile 5 devices ? Thanks for any answer in advance.

    - PPC project setup 1. I created VB 2005 project for Pocket PC. Built it. 2. I added Setup and Deployment project. Built it and got CAB file. 3. I installed my app on the PPC 4. In general everything works, but I decided to make some changes. 5. I made changes in the main project, increased the version number and built the project, then built Setup project. 6. I ran CAB file on PPC - it asked me if I want to uninstall the previous version. 7. I answered Yes. 8. I run the app and there is an old version. 9. I uninstalled the application and ran setup again. No changes. I still have an old version. I couldn't find any properties in Setup project allowing me to set override rules, and I just do not understand where PPC keeps an old version after uninstall. How do I install a newer version if there is an old version of the application? Al. Tag: Good book for programming for WM5 Tag: 114271

    - PropertyPage with a scrollbar Hi, i would like to have a vertical scrollbar on a propertypage, if it resizes due to the SIP. I know how to programmatically manage a scrollbar on a propertysheet, but there must be an easier way how to do that? Because system does that - when screen rotates and i don't have dialog template for the landscape mode, the scroll bar is shown, the same with qvga dialog on the square screen. I've tried to use SHHandleWM* functions, but it gave horrible results on property pages. ----- Saman Tag: Good book for programming for WM5 Tag: 114270

Hello folks,

Does anybody know about good book for
programming for WM5 in C++ ?

I have one extremely good "Windows CE 3.0"
by Nick Grattan and Marshall Brain.

Time came to start with WM5.

Dimitry,

I don't rememeber if Doug Boling updated his classic "Programming Microsoft
Windows CE" series for WM5, but that would be a good place to look. I also
like the Grattan and Brain book, but I don't think they ever updated it
after 3.0.
