    - COMM Ports on Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Hi all, I have an HP4700 running on Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition. I am running a couple tests on my COM ports and I currently have the following information that I get from the registry: Port Registry Path Description COM1 Drivers/BuiltIn/Serial "Serial Cable on COM1:" COM2 Drivers/BuiltIn/Serial_FIR "Infrared Port" COM3 Drivers/BuiltIn/IrComm "Infrared Port" COM4 Drivers/Buildin/Serial_BTUR COM5 Drivers/BuiltIn/Serial5 "Bluetooth Serial Port COM5:" COM8 Drivers/BuiltIn/Serial8 "Bluetooth Serial Port COM8:" COM9 Drivers/BuiltIn/SerialUSB "Serial on USB" When I run the test with Bluetooth enabled, ports COM2 and COM4 fail. Why would these ports fail if Bluetooth uses COM5 and COM8? When I run the test with Bluetooth disabled, ports COM2, COM5 and COM8 fail. If port COM5 and COM8 are Bluetooth and Bluetooth is disabled, how can they fail saying that they are in use? Do I have the wrong mapping for the ports? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- Anderson Tag: Persistent installation Tag: 91581

    - Header File compile time problems Hello, I am using EVC4 with the pocketpc 2003 SDK. When I try to compile a set of c files that I have added to the Source Files for a workspace that I have set up, I get a lot of errors in the include files that came with the pocketPC 2003 SDK. Im assuming that I have not set up the project or EVC4 correctly. I have tried creating the project as a WCE ppc 2003 application, targeted for the WCE ARMV4 and win32 emulator, as an empty project, simple windows CE application and a typical hello world application. Compiling the Typical Hello World app worked fine, before I added my C files. Here are some examples of the errors/warnings I get, any pointers anyone has would be greatly appreciated, I have not used VC/VS or EVC before. Thanks!

    - Using Platform Builder libs Hi, I'm currently developing an application for PPC 2003. My problem is that I would like to use one of the .lib files included in Platform Builder 4.2. I have downloaded the trial version of PB and as I interpret the EULA, I'm not allowed to link the lib file into my program if I intend to distribute it comersially. I guess my question is this: If I purchase the full license for Platform Builder 4.2, am I then allowed to use lib files included in the PB for comersial use? regards Johan Haren Tag: Persistent installation Tag: 91544

    - Scrollbars on inputforms Hi, We're making some input forms on a PPC 2003 SE, using VB.Net... But we ran into some trouble when the forms started getting larger than the screen. We are now using the VScrollBar class, and to scroll, we put all the input-fields on a panel. So when the user scrolls, the panel's Top-property is set, so that it moves off the screen. This works obviously, but not nearly how it should be done i guess....

    - Digital signing of a driver for windows mobile? Hi, I want to access the hardware registers on my loox pda (there is an intel pxa272 inside). In my efforts I have learned that on a windows mobile pocket pc 2003 I should be able to manage this by writing a .dll. The problems I am having right now concerns the digital signing, this since my .dll will end up in ram and not in rom. (Is there a way to place it in rom without downloading a new OS?) Do I have to sign the .dll and the application in order to access the hardware? (My guess is that I have to, since nothing is working but correct me if I am wrong). Is it enough to just use any old rsa key pair (between 512- and 1024-bits) to do the signing? Or has it got to be some specific microsoft or OEM key pair? Do I automatically get the OEM_CERTIFY_TRUST from the function OEMCertifyModule if I sign the .dll and application and the pda has access to the public key? How do I plant/transfer my public key to the pda and where should it reside? The key pair should be in blob format, thats another problem. The example rsa key at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/seccrypto/security/private_key_blobs.asp did not work with Signfile.exe(from platform builder). I got : Error 80090016 during CryptAcquireContext! *** Error signing hash So either I gobbled it up or it is not correct but it still leaves me wondering how it really should look.

    - fullscreen flash problem Hi, I have managed to create a (sort of) full-screen flash application, by creating a WC_HTMLCONTAINER window, using SHFullScreen, moving the window, then making an WC_HTML child window for it. If I just load a normal html page with text on it, it displays full-screen. However, if I try to embed a 240x320 flash movie in my html page, there seems to be a display limit of about 200 x 276. I can use scale = "noscale" and center my flash movie, but I'd like to use the whole screen, and see all of my flash movie. I had a look at FlashAssist, and it displays my 240x320 movie without problems, so I guess it's not a limitation of the flash player... Any ideas what's going on?

    - Dialog Display Problem - Help ! I have an application which displays a main dialog and then uses a main loop to launch a series of other dialog's which represent the UI of the application. Each dialog is launches and then exits, before the main loop calls the appropriate next dialog. The problem I have is that if a user launches another application while mine is running and then switches (not closing the other app) back to my application then the display between the dialogs in my application will show the other application. Thus as the user goes between screens the other application is shown inbetween as the new dialog is being prepared and drawn. I have tried a few things to bring my dialogs to the front but it always seems possible to get something else showing in between. Can anyone help ? thanks, simon.

    - SMS and Inbox (MAPI) [my PocketPC is PPC 2003 Simplified Chinese version] I am tring to develop a program that can send scheduled SMS automatically. I can do it with SMS API's such as SmsOpen, SmsSendMessage etc. With this method, the SMS sent will not be saved in the "Sent" folder. So I read a lot in MSDN website and found articles about MAPI Messaging. There is a sample code that create e-mail messages. I updated this sample code for sending SMS message (I changed some properties from "SMTP" to "SMS" ) and it does, but with problems. the right things that my code does: 1, a SMS message is stored in Drafts folder, and it is moved to OUTBOX after SubmitMessage API call; 2, "Message has been sent" notification displayed and the message is sent; 3, the SMS message is then placed in Sent folder. that are what I want, but .... (I sent the SMS message to my mobile phone, so I received it myself) 1, when I received the SMS message, in the message, the Chinese characters could not be recognized, it is displayed as "????" while the English characters were ok; 2, the message stored in the Sent folder is perfect, I mean the Chinese characters are all good; 3, if I move the message from Sent folder to Outbox, the message will be sent again automatically. when I receive it, all characters are good, include Chinese characters! why? in the MSDN website, I could not find a answer for it. Could any body help me solve this problem? or tell me how to send a SMS message and save the message into SMS Inbox store? P.S. After I running my program in my Dopod 696 (same as XDA II) (with Chinese ROM), my SMS Inbox seems changed: 1, there are CC and BCC recipients fields in the SMS edit window (they should not be there in SMS message) 2, I forward a SMS (it is sent by my program and recieved ) to myself, when I receive it, the whole message displayed as follows: FW: subject ------Original message---- Sender: 1390xxxx Sending Time: 05-2-13 hh:mm:ss recipient: 1390xxxx subject: a???a xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Tag: Persistent installation Tag: 91479

    - Database IDE for PPC I've done a considerable amount of MS Access development, and I'd love to be able to build a DB and forms for use on my new Dell Axim X50v, but obviously no such luck is to be had today. Anyone know a reasonably inexpensive desktop RDMS desktop IDE for building PPC apps? So far the "best" I've found is abcDB, but its desktop is pretty horrid, especially considering it's over $100.

    - Date Conversion I have an XML file created from an Access2003 database. There is a Date/Time field. In my PocketPC application, I have a TextBox for a date. The code for storing the date is: DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse(tbDate.Text); studentRow["Attempt"+Attempt.ToString()] = dt.ToShortDateString(); When I read the date, I use this: DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse(examRow[cbAttempt.SelectedItem.ToString()].ToString().TrimEnd (' ')); tbDate.Text = dt.ToShortDateString(); The problem is I enter a date: 2/12/2005 and what I get back is: 12/31/2000 Can anyone help??

    - ADOCE - problem after restore by ActiveSync I have code (listed below), everything is working ok, cdb file is created (if already doesn't exist), then tables, indexes... But after restoring by ActiveSync, code isn't working - ->Execute method every time returns 0 "Error". Could anyone clarify this problem? And suggest a solution? I'm using CVOConnection/CVORecordset classes for accessing ADO. -- thanks and regards, Marcin CVOConnection *cdbMG; if(GetFileAttributes(cdbFile)==0xFFFFFFFF) { wsprintf(tmpS,TEXT("create database \'%s\'"),cdbFile); cdbMG = new CVOConnection(); cdbMG->Execute(tmpS); delete cdbMG; } cdbMG = new CVOConnection(cdbFile); if(cdbMG->Execute(TEXT("create table mgArchive (cTime INTEGER, mTime INTEGER, userF INTEGER, userT INTEGER, message TEXT, msgID INTEGER)"))) { cdbMG->Execute(TEXT("create index idx0mgArchive on mgArchive (cTime)")); cdbMG->Execute(TEXT("create index idx1mgArchive on mgArchive (userF)")); cdbMG->Execute(TEXT("create index idx2mgArchive on mgArchive (userT)")); cdbMG->Execute(TEXT("create index idx3mgArchive on mgArchive (msgID)")); } Tag: Persistent installation Tag: 91459

    - Controlling the browser functions in Pocket Internet Explorer Hi, I would like to create a speech recognition program that can control browser functions in Pocket Internet Explorer. For example, if the word 'internet' is recognized, internet explorer will open. If 'next' is recognized, it will execute the 'next' button in Pocket Internet Explorer. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? I already have the speech recognition components in place. So just need some help on the PDA functions. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    - What remote debugger component do I miss? Hi, All: I am debugging a COM dll on a real device (dell Pocket PC AXIM 5.0) with eVC++ 4. I get an error message like "Failed to start remote debugger component on the device. Debugging can not continue. Press OK to continue. Error code = 0x80004005". It seems to me that my dell device lacks a COM dll or the dll is not properly registered. However, I don't know the COM dll name. When I debug on emulator, everything goes correctly.

I have programmed a pocketpc (HP/iPaq 2210) to operate as a controller for
some electronic test equipment.
The problem I have is that if the battery goes flat on the iPaq it loses its
application. I have the installation stored on the non-volatile memory
area, and can re-install, but then the installation erases itself.

Can I get the installation to NOT erase itself after installation, or can I
run the application from the non-volatile area?
Can someone give me a pointer here?

TIA
