    - Datagrid BackColor Hi, I was not able to change the color for "non-populated" area of DataGrid. For instance, the DataGrid Height is more that number of rows populated in the Grid. so, "non-ppopulated" area of the grid I have to change the color of Form background color.

    - Why cannot use SetWindowPos() directly inside of OnSize() I would like to resize the controls in a dialog when the dialog size is changed by the user during runtime. So I called SetWindowPos function directly from the OnSize() of the dialog. However, the software corrupts everytime, with Error Message "The instruction at "0x6c3bd5b5" referenced memory at "0x0000003c". The memory could not be read". To solve this problem, I have to set a variable bEnableResize, and this variable is only enabled in OnInitDialog(). Before this variable is enabled, SetWindowPos function will not be called. Can you tell me why SetWindowPos function will corrupt at the beginning? Any better way to solve it? BTW, is there any function to get the handle of all the controls in a dialog during runtime, so I can resize all of them? Thanks in advance.

    - ActiveSync 3.7 Partnerships Limit ? Hi all Is there a limit to the number of partnerships you can have setup in ActiveSync ? 10 ? I was having some real problems getting it to connect to a device and i'd tried everything, cables,ports,reinstall etc and couldn't get anything to work until i'd deleted some partnerships. I appreciate AS was probably desgined as a 'personal' piece of software where you use it to sync 'your' one or two devices. I'm working on a project where we will distribute PDA to collect data and then I was going to use AS to download the data from them via the mydocs sync Now that we have PDA's in qty. This possible active sync limit seems to be a problem. I appreciate I can store the data on an SD card or use 'guest' and explore to copy off the data When the project is live we could quite easily have 30-40 PDA's that I would like to sync 'quickly' with one PC Thanks in advance Andrew Tag: Open Serial Port in .NET Compact Framework (RS232C) Tag: 84280

    - Backlight on PPC I have been looking for a way to control the backlight on the PPC. My application has a long process and the backlght goes off right in the middle of it. I need to keep the backlight on for the process to complete. I have identified two solutions: 1) The ideal solution would be to keep the backlight on with a function call. Is there a DLL that will do this? 2) An alternate method would be to change the setting of the PPC to keep the backlight always on. Under battery settings there is an otpion that will always keep the backlight on. I would assume that this is stored in the registry somewhere. Any ideas on how I can find what registry key it is? I am thinking of setting the option to keep the backlight on when my application starts and then resetting it to the previous value when my application closes. The only draw back is that someone may change the setting while my app is running - this is why this is the second choice. Has anyone encountered this problem? Any advice? Thanks for the help.

    - How to resize all the controls during runtime I am using Visual C++ 6.0 and eMmbedded Vvisual C++ 4.0 to develop Windows and PPC applications. I knew WS_THICKFRAME can be used to resize the window during the runtime. Did anybody know how to resize all the controls (like the text and pictures in a dialog) as well the window during runtime? For example, if the user drag the border of a window and double its size, I hope all the texts and pictures at that window are doubled as well to fit the window. Thanks.

    - add WEP and renew IP address hi forum, I am participated in a project, part of this project will search the Wi-Fi network and try to connect one of them. I found I am almost at the end of the project, except this problem: after adding WEP, the PPC can not have correct IP address (only 169.254.xx.xx). When I disable WEP, everything is fine. When using WEP, it seems the connection is fine, except the IP address. I searched the forum, seems it has something to do with OID_802_3_MULTICAST_LIST. But how to set it? use DeviceIoControl as I set SSID, or other function? Anybody has similar experience? thanks, Eric Tag: Open Serial Port in .NET Compact Framework (RS232C) Tag: 84235

    - Help: BT audiogate way and analog audio at the same time I have been using the waveOut/waveIn APIs to send and received audio from the audio gateway contained in the WIDCOMM BT stack that came with my iPAQ 5555, this only works when I pair with a head set and open up a BT COM connection to the device that has the headset. My question is how do I have both the iPAQ analog audio headphone/headset port enabled (3.5mm jack) at the same time as the BT audio connection. When ever I call waveOutGetNumDevs and waveInGetNumDevs they return informing me there is only one device ID. Any help would be great!

    - Acitvesync Hi, This may have been anwered before. I am doing a presentation on Pocket PC medical software. I want to use the emulator to show what the software programs look like from the screen of my laptop. I am unable to get the emulator to communicate with the Activesync. I have a lap top compter with no serial ports, so I can not use the directions listed with the emulator and the null cable. Is there a way to do this, and if so how. I apologize but i am a bit of a novice so the more basic the directions the better. Thanks to anyone that can help. scott Tag: Open Serial Port in .NET Compact Framework (RS232C) Tag: 84218

    - SetForegroundWindow causes Pocket IE to close? Hello, I am working on a project where as a result of a user clicking a link on a webpage served from a mini Java HTTP server we've written, a new window is opened (an Eclipse SWT java widget). However, when the window is opened, pocket IE stops completely. The Today screen is behind the java widget. PIE is no longer on the active task list, and if I run RAPI debug I can see PIE being unloaded. The point in the java code where simultaneously PIE dies is a call to an SWT method which, among other things, does a SetForegroundWindow, which is apparently a Win32 API. I am not a Win32 programmer and so cannot directly test this theory, but is it likely that SetForegroundWindow would kill PIE? I am running Pocket PC 2003 on a TMobile Pocket PC Phone Edition device. The JVM is J9, and the SWT version is 2.106 and 3.101. The java code which seems to cause the PIE task to die is: ------------ public void open () { checkWidget (); bringToTop (); /* * Feature on WinCE PPC. A new application becomes * the foreground application only if it has at least * one visible window before the event loop is started. * The workaround is to explicitely force the shell to * be the foreground window. */ if (OS.IsWinCE) OS.SetForegroundWindow (handle); OS.SendMessage (handle, OS.WM_CHANGEUISTATE, OS.UIS_INITIALIZE, 0); setVisible (true); /* * Bug in Windows XP. Despite the fact that an icon has been * set for a window, the task bar displays the wrong icon the * first time the window is made visible with ShowWindow() after * a call to BringToTop(), when a long time elapses between the * ShowWindow() and the time the event queue is read. The icon * in the window trimming is correct but the one in the task * bar does not get updated. The fix is to call PeekMessage() * with the flag PM_NOREMOVE and PM_QS_SENDMESSAGE to respond * to a cross thread WM_GETICON. * * NOTE: This allows other cross thread messages to be delivered, * most notably WM_ACTIVATE. */ MSG msg = new MSG (); int flags = OS.PM_NOREMOVE | OS.PM_NOYIELD | OS.PM_QS_SENDMESSAGE; OS.PeekMessage (msg, 0, 0, 0, flags); if (!restoreFocus ()) traverseGroup (true); } ------------ Any ideas, help, pointers or otherwise is appreciated Thanks, Joe Tag: Open Serial Port in .NET Compact Framework (RS232C) Tag: 84217

    - Fmod VS gsplayer ? Hi, I would like to write a mp3 player and put it on our commerical PDA (.NET 4.2). By searching some articles in the newsgroup, I found fmod api and gsplayer are very good. Is gsplayer free if I re-write the UI and put it into your product? How do I contact the relative organization or person if it is not free? Why do I buy fmod api if gsplayer is free? dotNet 4.2 already contains mp3 codec. Do I still need to pay mp3 license fee if I use gsplayer in .Net 4.2? Can anyone give me some comments or suggestion ? Many thanks. Yu. Tag: Open Serial Port in .NET Compact Framework (RS232C) Tag: 84209

Hi All,

In my Project, I am using the VB.NET Compact Framework to develop an
Application for Symbol Pocket PC (CE.NET OS), the purpose of my Application
is allowed user scan a barcode using the Pocket PC and then send a print job
to the Zebra Printer to print out the barcode label. The Pocket PC will use
the Serial Cable RS232C connect to Zebra Printer, when the user click the
"Print button" in my Application, the Zebra Printer will print out a Barcode
Label.

I would like to know using VB.NET Compact Framework, what syntax / source
code I need to use to open the RS232C Serial Port? How to let my Pocket PC
Application Program sent a print job to Zebra Print? The important thing is
how do I open the Serial Port.

Hope you can help. Or Provide me some information, any website can find a
sample? etc. Thanks.
