    - Debugging WiFi device with AS4.5 The problem I am facing is about debugging User side application on a WiFi enabled pocketPC device. I am using VS 2005, ActiveSync 4.5 and device is loaded with WM 6.0 (CE OS 5.2.1620) The device is connected the PC via USB cable The symptom is that having a debug session On makes Application very very slow. 3-10x slower than when the same binary is run on the same device without debug. I strongly suspect it is because debug session tries to use WiFi connection that the device has. Earlier with AS4.0 & WM5. There was no official way to have USB and WiFi on at the same time. Therefore people would kill WZC on device and then they could have debug session together with WiFi and it worked perfectly. My question is what can I do to force debug session to stick with USB as it used to be with earlier MS software? Tag: Migrating from Evb to VS2008 Tag: 127920

    - embedded visual tools does not fire events anymore I have developed an application using embedded visual basic 3. it works prefectly ... then I exchange some data from a server using a winsocket... When the communication ends (8K of data data exchanged), the application becomes weird... after a while, when I click on a command nothing happens...nor listbox, grid... no one *_click event works. The app stop to respond. I have to reset the palm. I use a different form to exchange data, and after the data exchange the "hourglass mousepointer" remain always visible (rotating) there are no loops... so the program cannot be in a loop. any suggestion? thanks Tag: Migrating from Evb to VS2008 Tag: 127905

    - GetOpenFileName bug on WM 6.1 Standard (Smartphone) it's a good thing that now GetOpenFileName works on Smartphones (it was completely broken on Smartphone until WM 6.1). however there is an ennoying bug: when lpstrInitialDir is specified in the OPENFILENAME structure, GetOpenFileName should open the specified folder. on WM 6.1 Smartphones, it seems to open always the "\My Documents" folder, even when lpstrInitialDir is set to "\Storage Card", for example. this is particularly ennoying when the files to open are located on a Storage Card. it requires navication by the user, i.e. Menu, select "Storage Card"... Microsoft people (or MVP), please log a bug report on this. we hope this one will be fixed so that the Smartphone version works as well as the Pocket PC (WM Professional) version. thanks!

    - Deflect Focus? I don't want my application's main window to ever have the focus until it determines that it needs it. The effect I'm after is kind of like a splash screen that appears but doesn't take the focus away from the current application and does not receive the focus if that application is closed. What's the proper way to deflect the focus that comes to it automatically so that the next available application gets the focus? Thanks! Tag: Migrating from Evb to VS2008 Tag: 127891

    - memory leak in inbox or SDK sample? Hi, i was examining the TV_Inbox sample and i find out that in some circumstances the IMailRuleClient or CRuleClient doesnt get freed. I was wondering if this is by desing,this is bug in inbox,in sample,and how to avoid it,as for me it is important to get this interface released! the case is if just IMailRuleClient is initialized and called(ie you get a message),everything is then normal,ie it gets released when for example you kill mail box by end tasking it. But if a custom form is being displayed(clicking on new message to display it),then just CFormProvider gets released and the ruleclient doesnt,and dll unloads. I was thinking maybe it is related to "Free" threading model of this com?and if because it implements two different classes and objects,it is caused by that? i am no expert in com, so? thanks Tag: Migrating from Evb to VS2008 Tag: 127890

    - Disable Event Sound For Splash Screen Hello, When I change the registry keys at [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Splash Screen\MSTimeout]( & CarrierTimeout) to values that will allow multiple splash screens to display ie. MSTimeout = 750 CarrierTimeout = 10000 I get the expected result ie. MSBitmap Displayed - Carrier Bitmap Displayed - MSBitmap Overlayed however.. when my phone(or the emulator) boots a System Event Sound(Alarm2.wav I believe) is played whenever Carrier Bitmap is first displayed. I can stop the sound behavior by unchecking "Events (warnings, system events)" in "Sounds & Notifications" in the control panel but this is not the desired solution. I would like to be able to disable the sound for that specific event, but if need be i would settle for being able to uncheck the Events box programatically through a registry setting or some other means. Are either of these options available? Ive been digging through the registry like crazy but I can't seem to find specific Thanks in advance DrewG Tag: Migrating from Evb to VS2008 Tag: 127885

I'm adjusting "BrightNess" and "ACBrightNess" in the registry "HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight" successfully. I then try to update the display using the "BackLightChangedEvent" but nothing is happening. The event seems to be fired up because "int test = SetEvent(hBackLightEvent);" returns 1, but still the display is not changing. This approach apparently works for some devices (as i gathered from a quick google) but does not seem to work for my HTC Touch.

It is using the USBExpress CP2102 device from Silicon Labs (http://www.silabs.com) and I've come across an issue with their driver for Windows CE5. I canâ??t read from the device, yet I'm able to wite data out of the device. What concerns me most is that I purchased a FTDI evaluation board to test and it had the same problem! I did have to use pinvoke to call the driverâ??s API dll. Yet I also tried their native C examples from the USB bridge vendors, and tried using the example applications to determine the problem. Has anyone heard of a similar issue, or know of some setting in Windows Mobile 6 / Windows CE 5.0 that could be preventing the driver from reading data from the USB to uart bridge? Since it has happened with more than one bridge/chipsets I'm thinking it must be a windows CE issue/security setting. I spent the better half of the past two day tiring to get a hold of MS tech support with little success. I've been hung-up on twice and the online form doesn't accept my PID for the device and sends me to a page to pay ~$260 for support. I do have two MSDN support tickets, yet when clicking the support link on MSDN I get sent to the same page that rejects my PID and wants me to pay ~$260 again... Since I've been unable to figure out how to use my support incidents, I'm using this as my last hope of finding a solution to this problem. Tag: Migrating from Evb to VS2008 Tag: 127864

    - OpenNetCF randomly becomes unavailable on Windows Mobile 6 Hello, I have built a PocketPC application that has dependencies on OpenNETCF 1.4. I've built the OpenNET DLLs into my CAB for distribution and everything works well and installs well on WM2003, and WM5. On Windows Mobile 6, everything installs fine and my application launches after installation. However, if I reboot the PocketPC then launch my application again, I lose my connection with OpenNETCF and receive the following error: File or assembly name 'OpenNETCF, Version=1.4.50804.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30C767B29D52D6E6', or one of its dependencies, was not found. Now, the strangest thing about all of this is that this failure seems to be inconsistent. Sometimes it never fails at all, but I can manage to make it fail about 70% of the time. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong in my CAB INF, if OpenNETCF 1.4 is inconsistent on this platform, or what, but I have deployed many PocketPC apps in the past and have never seen this behavior. Any help or clues anyone can give would be *most* appreciated. Thanks, Larry King Human Interface Engineer Tag: Migrating from Evb to VS2008 Tag: 127863

    - Windows CE cab file web deployment I am wondering if there is a way to deploy an MFC ActiveX control via the web to devices running Windows CE. My inf file which I referenced with CabWiz while generating the cab file is below. In my HTML page, I use an Object tag to reference the control. My object tag looks like this (where classid is the real classid, and the codebase url is a real location for the cab file): <object id="ActiveXControlName" classid="clsid: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" codebase="http://LocationOf/ ActiveXControlNameInstall.cab#version=1,0,0,0"> </object> We can assume that the site the web page resides on is a trusted site in the user's browser, and that unsigned ActiveX control will result in a prompt. Basically, if the ActiveX control is not registered on the Windows CE device, I would like user to be prompted to install the cab file on each page visit. If the ActiveX control is registered on the device, but the version number of the registered control is older than the version number specified in the codebase, I would like the user to be prompted to update the control by installing the cab file. If the ActiveX control is registered on the device, and the version number of the registered control is the same or newer than the version number specified in the codebase, the control will render as normal. Here is my inf file, with the Provider and AppName fields changed to fake values: [Version] Signature = "$Windows NT$" Provider = "CompanyName" CESignature = "$Windows CE$" [CEStrings] AppName="ActiveXControlName" InstallDir=%CE2%\ [Strings] sh3_cpu = 10003 sh4_cpu = 10005 mips_cpu = 4000 strongarm_cpu = 2577 armcpu = 1824 [CEDevice] ; valid for Windows CE 4.1 - 5.0 VersionMin = 4.1 VersionMax = 5.0 [DefaultInstall] CopyFiles = Files.Windows CESelfRegister = ActiveXControlName.ocx [SourceDisksNames] 1 = ,"Common files",,. [SourceDisksFiles] ActiveXControlName.ocx = 1 [DestinationDirs] Files.Windows = 0,%CE2% ;\Windows [Files.Windows] ActiveXControlName.ocx,,, Tag: Migrating from Evb to VS2008 Tag: 127854

I can get email addresses stored in my contacts, however, when I use the built in ContactDialog() window to select a user from the company exchange server, I have an error thrown. here is my code: It blows up when I try to access the information for the contact I pulled down from the server.... private void mnuSend_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { EmailAccount MainAccount = AppSession.EmailAccounts[0]; EmailMessage myMsg = new EmailMessage(); ChooseContactDialog myContactDialog = new ChooseContactDialog(); string contactname, myAddress; Contact SelContact; myContactDialog.Title = "select user to send message:"; myMsg.CC.Add(new Recipient("first.last@company.com")); myMsg.Subject = "Test message from Mobile phone"; myMsg.BodyText = "This is the body of the message"; myContactDialog.EnableGlobalAddressListLookup = true; while ((myContactDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)) { contactname = myContactDialog.SelectedContactName; MessageBox.Show("Contactname=" + contactname); //This much works!

    - Custom font problem on Windows Mobile Hi, I am a beginner in Windows programming and currently building a Windows Mobile 5.0/6.0 application that is dependent on a custom TrueType font I created. The custom font is mapped to Unicode characters and the font file resides in the application folder under Program Files. I've read through MSDN Library and installed my font as instructed here http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms901090.aspx . Implementation was successful and my program displayed the custom font correctly with no issues. You can download and view my custom font file from the link below. http://project.ionized.googlepages.com/PDCDefault.zip Now the problem is that some specific non-related programs on the Pocket PC device start using my custom font once AddFontResource function is called. The affected programs will display squares instead of characters, thus rendering them useless. Not all programs exhibit this behavior though. The same font corruption can be reproduced if I copy my custom font into the \Windows\Fonts folder and reset the device. Copying the custom font into \Windows\ folder may work in some but not all cases. I am also refraining from adopting the latter methods because extra steps are required to unregister and remove fonts from the Windows or Fonts folders. Examples of such problematic programs are HTC Cube, HTC Comm Manager, KaiserTweak and Windows Mobile's very own screen alignment program. I think these programs were using system font (Tahoma) before my custom font is installed. Before custom font is installed: http://project.ionized.googlepages.com/before.png After custom font is installed: http://project.ionized.googlepages.com/after.png Iâ??ve searched many places and one of the common workarounds I found was to copy another Microsoft TrueType font like Verdana into the Windows folder. Somehow, the problematic programs would choose Verdana over custom fonts but this is not a guaranteed fix. The other solution was to rename the custom font family name to begin with the letter Z because somebody mentioned that fonts are loaded in alphabetical order(?). This did not work for me however. I could not find any official solutions on Microsoft site regarding this problem. So, my questions are: 1. Why do other programs use my custom font? 2. How does Windows Mobile determine which font gets priority over system font? 3. What can I do to prevent other programs from using my custom font? I've totally ran out of ideas on how to implement custom fonts now. Any suggestions or insights will be much appreciated. Thank you.

    - Wireless Zero Configuration compliant Device Good day, all participants, I would like to buy a device, either a Smartphone or Pocket PC. I want to use OpenNetCF or Wireless Zero Configuration to retrieve wifi signal strength. I know that if a device is not WZC compliant, then we cannot use WZC. Although I heard from our good man, Mr. Chris Tacke that many devices are WZC compliant, I still want to make sure that I got the right device. Hence, for anyone who owns a device with WZC compatible, can you share that information and experience with us here? Thanks to @sid, we know that HTC TyTN II is WZC compliant. Are there more devices? Any comments are welcomed and appreciated Sam Tag: Migrating from Evb to VS2008 Tag: 127820

    - CabWiz Does anyone have good instructions for configuring a CabWiz INI file? I used CabWiz once before, and it took me a long time to get the INI file to work. Now, a couple of years later, I need to do it again, and I'd rather not spend all that time banging my head against the wall with CabWiz. I just need an installer that registers my "single exe" program with Add/Remove Programs, drops a shortcut onto the PPC desktop, and adds the program to the Start menu. Thanks!

Hello Paolo,
Look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/windowsmobile/downloads/evb.aspx
eVB is embedded visual basic that was phased out in 2002 - * never used *.

Looking at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/189478 the differences sound
similar to .netcf and .net - controls are different, but the same.- code
is more or less transferrable but the binaries are not. This link is from
2005 so I have to believe the code is going to be friendly... good luck
