    - Serial no Help Hi, I have tried all the code examples in this forum for obtaining the serial number of my PDA(iPAQ 1710 running PPC2003) and they all work fine - but none return the exact serial number thats on the back of the PDA. I have written code for a Casio DTX5 (running HandheldPC) and have used CLBGetDeviceIDCode() which returns the exact code on the back of the PDA - can the same be done in PPC because i want to tie each program I write to each PDA so they cannot be copied. Thanks for any help on this Cush Tag: Named Mutex Tag: 103479

    - Serial Number Help? Hi, I have tried all the methods listed in these foruns to get the serial number of my PDA (hp 1710). The code works as I get serial numbers back but none are the same as the s/n or p/n numbers on the back of my PDA. Can this not be done for PDAs running PPC2003 because i have developed code for a Casio DTX5 (running HandheldPC) and have used a function CLBGetDeviceIDCode(); which returns exactly the serial code on the back of the terminal - I want to protect my program so that it cannot run on other PDAs.

    - DirectShow development on Windows Mobile? Hi, I am looking to port a current Windows XP program that uses the DirectShow API to Windows Mobile 2003. After searching google and the Windows Mobile 2003 SDK I found that there are no native DirectShow API's for Windows Mobile 2003. However, I found that the new upcoming Windows Mobile 5.0 will have native DirectShow API support. I also found that the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK has already been released. Is there any way that I can take the libraries from the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK and use them with the Windows Mobile 2003 SDK to develop an application for Windows Mobile 2003 that uses DirectShow? Thanks! George Tag: Named Mutex Tag: 103475

    - Problem with Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.dll (two versions) Folks, I am using VS 2005 to target a Windows Mobile 2003 (SE) Phone Edition device. I want to be able to access Hardware Buttons. Supposedly, this is in the Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.dll. But there are two versions: v1.0.4292.0 and v2.0.5238.0, located repectively in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SmartDevices\SDK\CompactFramework\2.0\v1.0\WindowsCE\ and C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SmartDevices\SDK\CompactFramework\2.0\v2.0\WindowsCE\. The v1.0.4292.0 DLL does not have HardwareButton defined. In fact, it only has, as I recall, three objects: InputPanel, Message, and MessageWindow. The v2.0.5238.0 DLL has MUCH more, including HardwareButton. But when I add the reference to v2.0 and tre to build my project, I get this error message: Metadata file 'c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SmartDevices\SDK\CompactFramework\2.0\v2.0\WindowsCE\Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.dll' could not be opened -- 'Version 2.0 is not a compatible version.' What am I to do? Thanks in advance for all suggestions. /Joel Finkel finkel@sd-il.com cc:pocketpc.developer Tag: Named Mutex Tag: 103473

    - ComboBox ForeColor and BackColor Hello, I'm developing a Pocket PC application which uses a Combobox control. When I run the application in the emulator, the color of the text in the combo box is black, and the background is white. When I deploy the application to my device, both the text color and background color are white. I can't see the text! Is there any way to manually set the font color (forecolor) of the text to be black? The compact framework doesn't seem to support setting this property. What else can I do to see the items in the combobox? Thanks Tag: Named Mutex Tag: 103468

    - How to detect addition of an event handler I'm developing a custom control for .Net Cf which joins together two existing control type, a parent combo box and a child text box. I would like to have both controls respond to the same event handlers so that the user of the control only needs to add the handler once. To make this transparent to the user I need my code to detect when a handler has been added to the parent control so that it can assign the handler to the child control. Does this makes sense ? Any ideas on how to do this ? Thanx in advance Tag: Named Mutex Tag: 103465

    - Re: Hard Reset Question? Thanks I got some pointers from searching on your suggestions. Here is what i did: 1. I have renamed my program which I want to start up to "autorun.exe" and placed it in the "2577" folder in the "iPaq File Store". 2. When I do a hard reset this now gets run and does what it is supposed to do - Good! But now I have found out that my program "autorun.exe" gets copied to the Windows directory of my iPaq 1710 - why is this? And is it needed here? Can I delete this from here? (If it is present here then a soft reset does not launch my program from permanent storage but if I delete it then a soft reset will also launch my program - what I want also) Thanks again for any help you can give me.

    - CAB file format... Does anyone know where to find a document describing the internal format of Pocket PC .cab files ? I've found sites describing generic .cab files, such as those that you get on a Windows install CD, but the Windows Mobile .cab files have extra sections in there, for items like minimum & maximum CE version number, company & app name, and so on.. E.g. A typical site describing PC-based .cab files: http://giscenter.icc.ru:8082/scripts/WWWBinV.dll/ShowR?cab.rfh Also, is there any way to change the *default* maximum CE version number of the .cab files that VS2003 creates ? At the moment, these .cab files have a default maximum of 4.99, meaning they won't install on WM2005 devices. However, if you manually change this value to 5.00 in the .inf file and rebuild the cab, they'll install fine, and run beautifully. Of course, then, when you next click on Build New Cab, it'll overwrite this change ! <sigh> Michael Tag: Named Mutex Tag: 103437

    - Invoke and ShowDialog - Again I've been out of the PocketPC loop for two years, but recently had a project to develop under VS 2003 and C# on an IPAQ 2495 running the Compact Framework 1.0 SP3 and Windows Mobile 5.0. I'm running into the same issue in Debug mode on that device that apparently many people have complained about for two years now regarding the blocking of a worker thread by the UI thread when Form.ShowDialog() is called via Invoke and an event handler delegate from the worker thread. I've read where this has been fixed in SP1, SP2 and SP3. I'm not sure if it keeps reappearing or if it's just a cumulative fix that's been carried forward. As I say, I have version 1.0.4292.00 of CF 1.0 which translates to SP3. Has this reared its ugly head again, is there a recognized work-around I'm missing, has everyone given up complaining about it, or am I just severly deluded about what is actually happening here? Any sympathetic responses would be appreciated as I'm truely puzzled. Tag: Named Mutex Tag: 103427

    - Ssubclassing using WTL Hi everyone! I'm using WTL and have a class that wraps the window that is taskbar's child (HHTaskbar). As this window needs to be transparent I need to capture WM_REPAINT messages of the taskbar, get the DC it has repainted itself, and then repaint the background of the child window. (or at least I think this is the right way to accomplish this ;-) The problem is that you cannot pass class member function as the new window procedure (NewWndProc) using SetWindowLong() as long as it is not static. Having a static NewWndProc is not possible, because I need to remember the address of the OldWndProc on a place available only to the NewWndProc so that I may pass the messages to the OldWndProc. Having a global variable/class that will store the OldWndProc is not an option, as I may have more windows that should be transparent and they should make a WndProc chain, i.e. Window 2->Window 1->Taskbar The solution I'm thinking about is to create a single "monitor" child window that will subclass the HHTaskbar() and then implement Observer pattern to notify observers on HHTaskbar's repaint. Huh, maybe I'm just missing something. Is there any way to make a hook under win ce 4.*? Any other ideas? Greetings, --- Esad Hajdarevic ESSE Software Engineering Tag: Named Mutex Tag: 103423

    - Proxy server madness (Win Mobile 5, Dell Axim x51) Hi all, I have an odd problem. The kind that feels like I'm missing some small little something; frustration is rising. I've a Dell Axim x51 running Windows Mobile 5. I want to use it to build a prototype for a location-based application. I've written a little http proxy to run on the Axim. I annotates all http requests, adding an extra header with GPS info picked-up through a bluetooth connection. All of these things work! But... I can see GPS info flowing in. I can access the proxy running on port X, on the Axim - from another computer over wifi. The one thing that does not work is: get Pocket Explorer to use the proxy, running on the Pocket PC. On Pocket PC 2003, I've got it figured out just fine. Same settings on Mobile 5, no go! Any hints much appreciated, Sandor Tag: Named Mutex Tag: 103417

    - possible bug in Windows Mobile 5.0 concerning softkeys/menus hi all, i have a question about a problem i am having with menus, which appears to be a bug. I have a menu resource with two top-level menus in my resource file. I create a menu bar with SHCreateMenuBar and the resource. The menus appear one in each softkey, and the popups appear correctly, which is as expected. However if i begin sending toolbar messages to the menu bar to manually add toolbar buttons, the menus take on the old ppc2003 style and the buttons appear correctly, but tapping the second menu brings up the first's popup instead of the correct one. See screenshot: http://69.168.177.135:82/wm5menubug.png (the link may only work during the day, sorry) if the menu resource contains three top-level items instead of two, it behaves as expected. and, under the wm2003 emulator it behaves normal, leading me to believe it is a new bug introduced with the softkeys. has anyone else experienced this?

I have seen posts stating that it is possible to create a named mutex in a
PPC app that can be accessed by two different applications. However, in
practice and according to the documentation, the Compact Framework does not
support named mutexes.

Could someone clarify this for me. I would also greatly appreciate if
someone could confirm if this applies to named events.

Cheers,
Ollie

Yes

The example here (point 7) shows how to sue named mutexes:

This is a managed wrapper if you don't want to pinvoke directly:
