    - Suggestions for debugging gwes.exe errors I'm trying to debug a GWES problem and would appreciate any tips you might have about debugging GWES related problems. When running my app, it occasionally causes an error in gwes.exe. If I turn off error reporting on the device, the problem seemingly goes away (no crashes or visible problems in my app). I had read in another post that by turning off error reporting in the System->Settings, it should show where the error is in my app. Since the error is intermittent and this app is quite complex (including hooks into various UI components, like the password.cpl and intercepts some keys to cause it to load instead of a built-in app), I'm hoping to find some way of determining the cause of the error more directly than iteratively removing functionality. So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Ed Tag: Need to programatically turn on/off WiFi radio to conserve power Tag: 108521

    - Show a calculated field in a DataGrid I am attempting to display a calculated field in DataGrid and I must be doing something wrong. Here is what I've got: DataTable table = Visit_List; //add column for a calculated weight gain field DataColumn calcWeight = new DataColumn("Weight_Gained", System.Type.GetType("System.Int32")); calcWeight.Expression = "Current_Weight - Prev_Weight" table.Columns.Add(calcWeight); DataView dataViewGridHistory = new DataView(table); dataGridHistory.DataSource = dataViewGridHistory; //Table Style DataGridTableStyle tableStyle = new DataGridTableStyle (); tableStyle.MappingName = "Visit_List"; DataGridTestBoxColumn columnStyle; columnStyle = new DataGridTextBoxColumn(); columnStyle.HeaderText = "Weight Gain"; columnStyle.MappingName = "Weight_Gained"; columnStyle.NullText = string.Empty; columnStyle.Width = 30; tableStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(columnStyle); //Apply table stlye dataGridHistory.TableStyles.Add(tableStyle); I believe the cause is that the tableStyle.MappingName is using the table that does not have the extra calculated column in it, but I don't know how to fix this.

    - Windows mobile 5.0 printer driver problem. Hi, I have a troubles with development of printer driver for windows mobile 5.0 devices. It seems that callback function "DrvCopyBits" is not execute correctly from device menager. Execution of it never stops (until return 0), and bitmap data bytes that comes in "psoSrc" are all 0xFF (awlays white pixels). Is there any specials for setting bitmap type or something other specifig for printer drivers in WM50 devices? I develop such a driver also for PocketPC 2002, Pocket PC 2003 and Windows CE.NET 4.20 devices and have no problems with them. There everything works as expected. Sample for building driver is taken from platform builder. Is there any plans for embedding print abilities in applications such as Pocket Word, Pocket Excel and Pocket IE as like they presents in Windows CE.NET 4.20 powered devices?

    - suggestions for improved MessageBox on Photon a suggestion for the MSFT Mobile shell team: it would be nice to provide an improved/extended version of MessageBox - let's call it MessageBoxEx - with at least the following feature: - two additionnal optional parameter to customise the soft-keys strings if those parameters are NULL, the default strings are used (i.e. same as the current MessageBox). if one or both of those parameters are not NULL, they are pointer to strings used for the left and right soft-keys, and overwrite the default. optionally it could be nice to specify command-id's to overwrite the defaults, but that's not necessary, since MessageBox is a modal dialog. this extension would allow using the same internal features as MessageBox (i.e. Alerts sound & icons, etc), while changing the soft-key text to something custom, more appropriate than the default limited set of choices such as Ok/Cancel , Yes/No etc. Choices such as Now/Later, "Cancel/I Agree" (e.g. for a licencing agreement), etc would be possible. what do you think? also, naturally, MessageBox needs to be fixed on Pocket PC, since it is seriously broken especially when Pocket PC's are used in Landscape orientation. in case you missed it, here is a recap of the problems: On Pocket PC WM5, soft-keys cannot be used to answer the question from a MessageBox (or to close it). On Pocket PC WM5 and 2003 Second Edition, when in Landscape orientation, MessageBox does not use the full width of the display, so you messages usually get truncated, and in some cases the buttons get truncated or totally hidden. The only workaround is to reduce the size of your messages, which may be a problem with localized applications. MsgBox can use the full width of the display in Landscape orientation, so you can see longer messages. This is especially useful in applications localized in other languages. On Pocket PC, MessageBox just truncates the text if it is too long to be entirely displayed (not the case on Smartphone). Sometimes, MessageBox even displays the buttons outside of the screen, making the dialog completely un-usable. MsgBox makes text scrollable if text is too long to be entirely displayed (like on Smartphone). This is very useful, especially on the new square-screen Pocket PC WM5 and 2003 Second Edition devices. A vertical scroll-bar or the UP/DOWN D-pad buttons can be used to scroll the text when it is scrollable. On Pocket PC WM5 and 2003 Second Edition, MessageBox does not handle the SIP correctly. For example, if the SIP is up, MessageBox sometimes display a dialog with the OK/Cancel buttons hidden under the SIP. This can be very confusing to average users, and it also violates MSFT's own guidelines for Logo-certified applications. MsgBox handles the SIP correctly, and it automatically lowers the SIP when it activates. Tag: Need to programatically turn on/off WiFi radio to conserve power Tag: 108446

    - new WM5 Smartphones with touch screen? I just noticed that the new WM5 Smartphone emulator sends WM_LBUTTONDOWN messages with (x, y) pointer coordinates when clicking on the display of the Smartphone emulator. Does this mean that soon, some new WM5 Smartphone devices will have touch screens? I was always under the impression that the major difference between Pocket PC and Smartphone was that only Pocket PC had a touch screen - hence a different UI on the Smartphone, that is designed use without a pointing device. Is MSFT changing that and paving the way for the upcoming release of some WM5 Smartphones with a touch screen? Tag: Need to programatically turn on/off WiFi radio to conserve power Tag: 108422

    - on WM5, ShellExecuteEx outputs garbled text on the debug output - known problem? i noticed that each time i call ShellExecuteEx, this routine outputs some garbled text on the debug output. the garbled text looks mostly like small squares (i.e. undefined glyphes), and there is bout 80 characters. for example, this happens when executing the following snipplet. in my test case, the file \\test_file.html, therefore PIE displays an error "Alert - page cannot be found", which is normal. what is not normal is the garbled output. and yes, i am 100% certain that it is ShellExecuteEx (or something that it calls) that causes this garbled output, since i have put breakpoints at the entrance of all my window procedures just before calling ShellExecuteEx, so none of my code executes and could cause the garbled output. here is the sniplet that i use: { BOOL yes; SHELLEXECUTEINFO exec_info = {0}; exec_info.cbSize = sizeof exec_info; exec_info.fMask = SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS; exec_info.hwnd = hWnd; exec_info.lpVerb = TEXT("open"); exec_info.lpFile = TEXT(\\test_file.html); yes = ShellExecuteEx(&exec_info); } the garbled text occurs with the WM5 Smartphone emulator image (and also with Smartphone 2003 emulator image). With the WM5 Pocket PC emulator image, the same code outputs the following strange undocumented message (but no garbage): OEMIoControl: Unsupported Code 0x1010058 - device 0x0101 func 22 So maybe the garbled text is somehow related to this "OEMIoControl"?

I have already most of the code in C from Visual C 6.0 and I want to use this code for some algorithms and to use my new software in order to develop an app that with the existent algorithms reads the video camera of the pocket pc and gives me some results. - How can I start? - How can I test with this 2 programs?

    - Getting WM5.0/ActiveSync 4.x ONF_RECORD, etc. notifications? Hi, Does anyone know how one would go about getting ONF_RECORD, ONF_DATABASE, etc. notifications under Windows Mobile? If you use EDB (as you have to) to create/mount a volume and create a database, you no longer get those notifications. Without those notifications, how would one go about making a WM5.0/ActiveSync 4.x synchronization provider for an EDB database? Any ideas appreciated.

    - eVC 4 Startup error I just installed eVC++ 4 for use with a Pocket PC 2003 and I'm getting this error: "Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ has discovered no CE platform SDK installed on the desktop. Please install at least one CE platform SDK before launching Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++." I have installed the Pocket PC 2003 SDK in the same directory with the Windows CE Tools. I've been using eVC++ 3 just fine. I installed eVC 4 in a different folder so I could run either 3 or 4. How can I fix this problem?

    - eVC 4 Build Error with Windows Mobile 5.x I'm trying to build an application for a new iPaq rx1955 running Windows Mobile 5.x. When I complete the build and the application is about to be transferred to the device, I get the error "The ARM SA1100 CPU does not support configuration xxxxxx. Executable will not run on device.". Any help? I tried and the application does run, but I'm having serial transfer problems that I wasn't having with a PPC 2003 device and I'm not sure if it's related.

    - Retrieve value from a scrollbar Hi all how do I read the 'final' value from a scrollbar. (CF2 VS2005) If I drag the scroll bar then I can catch at least two hScrollBar1_ValueChanged events. I need to catch the value at the position the scroller is left in when the mouse leaves the screen. I know I could do some sort of debounce timer, but there must be a simple way that I've overlooking (musn't there?) thanks Andy Tag: Need to programatically turn on/off WiFi radio to conserve power Tag: 108378

    - Pocket PC HTML Ctrl IPIEOmHistory::back doesn't work. Hi, I'm developing intenet explorer clone on PPC 2003. I am using htmlctrl.lib to host explorer control.

    - Emulator for WM 5.0 and general doubts Hello after lots of questions about how to make an app for real time video management in an iPAQ with WM 2003 and after realizing that's too difficult I have decided to write my app for WM 5.0. My app has to manage real time video of the video camera that the iPAQ has. I am going to use Visual Studio 5.0 and C language. My questions are: - Which software do I need? It's enough with Visual Studio 5.0 and Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK? - Which APIs do I need in order to have control of the video camera to control the video streams to obtain some data with the algorithms I have already designed? - How can I test my app??(my iPAQ runs on WM2003 and I can't test on it) Is there any emulator for test it in Windows Xp? I would appreciate all answers. Thank you Tag: Need to programatically turn on/off WiFi radio to conserve power Tag: 108376

I need to be able to programmatically turn on and off the WiFi radio on
PPC2003 PDAs in order to conserve power. Is this possible and can anyone
point me to the appropriate APIs? My app is written in C++ so C++ based
solutions will be better than VB if possible.

Many thanks!
