    - BlueTooth Show Stopper No 2 I have had some success with serial communications between an iPAQ and a PC using BlueTooth virtual COM ports, but only if I establish the connection from the PC end (see earlier post) If I establish the connection from the iPAQ end (using the standard GUI), my program fails to open the COM port (COM8: on the iPAQ 2210). Specifically, CreateFile(?) returns error 55. I get the same result irrespective of whether or not the BT connection has been established. The same thing happens on an iPAQ 3970 (COM5). Also the third party mToken terminal emulator program seems to suffer the same problem, which makes me think that it is not a simple bug in my program. I believe that the correct behaviour is that if the BT connection is not established then attempting to open the COM port should cause the BT GUI to pop up and prompt the user to select a device to connect to. If the BT connection is already established then the port should just open. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Does anyone know how to work around it?

    - BlueTooth Show Stopper No 1 I am programming serial comm's between an iPAQ and a PC using the BlueTooth virtual COM ports. If I establish the BlueTooth connection from the PC end (using the standard GUI), I can communicate successfully in both directions using COM5: on the iPAQ. However, if the BlueTooth connection drops out (e.g. out of range) or if I try to communicate without first establishing the BT connection, then as soon as I try to send data from the iPAQ [i.e. WriteFile(hPort,...);], the iPAQ locks up and can only be recovered with a soft reset. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Does anyone know how to work around it? I get the same behaviour on an iPAQ 2210 and 3970. Also the third party mToken terminal emulator program seems to suffer the same problem, which makes me think that it is not a simple bug in my s/w.

    - EVC++4 PPC2003 ActiveX Control Problem Hi, I've written an activeX control (ATL no MFC) which I'be been using for years built for WCE, PPC2000, PPC2002 etc (using EVC++3.0) - which is run by being embedded in a web page. I now need it to run on an XDAII, so I've downloaded EVC++4.0 + SP2) and the SDK for PPC2003. My first problem was that it would open my workspace but not give me the option to build for PPC2003 (only STANDARDSDK) - so I created a new ATL COM project and then just copied all my files into it - after setting the various link options it compiles. However it does not work on the XDA or in the emulator - it would appear that its not getting run at all (I added a mesasge box in the constructor - does not even get that far). I am using IObjectSafety (I had to in previous iterations of the control), as some have mentioned in other posts on this subject, my class definition is as follows: class ATL_NO_VTABLE CPdaVideoCtl : public CComObjectRootEx<CComSingleThreadModel>, public CComCoClass<CPdaVideoCtl, &CLSID_PdaVideoCtl>, public IDispatchImpl<IPdaVideoCtl, &IID_IPdaVideoCtl, &LIBID_PDAVIDEOLib>, public IProvideClassInfoImpl<&CLSID_PdaVideoCtl, &LIBID_PDAVIDEOLib>, public CComControl<CPdaVideoCtl>, public IOleControlImpl<CPdaVideoCtl>, public IOleObjectImpl<CPdaVideoCtl>, public IViewObjectExImpl<CPdaVideoCtl>, public IObjectWithSiteImpl<CPdaVideoCtl>, public IOleInPlaceActiveObjectImpl<CPdaVideoCtl>, public IOleInPlaceObjectWindowlessImpl<CPdaVideoCtl>, public IObjectSafety I link with wininet.lib & imgdecmp.lib I was hoping that all I'd need to do was a simple re-compile for PPC2003 but I guess not - does anyone have any idea of what the problem might be or what I can try to work out what is going wrong?

    - Multiple winsock connections ? Hi all I've been reading up on winsock as I would like to incorporate it in my application so that two or more PDA's can communicate with each other over wifi in an ad-hoc network. If I want one PDA to listen for two or more other PDA's then I presumeably need to do somthing like the following ? Create a thread for each PDA I want to 'listen' for. Each of these threads creates a socket, binds the socket to it's OWN (?) IP addr and a DIFFERENT socket number for each of the PDA's it needs to communicate with ? The other PDA's 'connect' using the common 'server' IP addr and a unique socket number. I don't want the 'main' program on the 'client' PDA's to stop working if there is some kind of network failure. As I don't appear to be able to control the time-out of the send command I assume if I put this is it's own thread along with connect and disconnect from socket. I can then check to see if this thread is still running before starting a new one. If it is and I consider this a 'failure' then I abort the thread etc. Also if within the thread the send etc commands return errors then the thread exits with an error code. Thanks in advance from all the winsock experts ;) Andrew Tag: Pocket PC 2002 Application Development Hand Guide for EVB Developers ? Part 1 Tag: 80805

    - Wait cursor on Pocket PC, HOW? The way to show the wait cursor on pocket pc according to the help in eVC4 is to call SetCursor like this: SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_WAIT)); This works fine if you do that in the main message loop and in the same loop do some time consuming operation. But in my case I have a worker thread that is doing all the work so the GUI will not freeze. That way I can dump text on the screen while processing data. If I call SetCursor in the worker thread the wait cursor will not show. Is there a way to show the wait cursor even though the main message loop is not locked doing some time consuming operation? /Magnus Tag: Pocket PC 2002 Application Development Hand Guide for EVB Developers ?

    - HotKey Mapping vs. Device Form Factor My application makes heavy use of HotKeys and I've completely worked out everything from KeyDown, KeyUp, KeyHeld dectection & handling to KeyMasking. (The latter is where HotKeys go to die--that is, they're handled but they don't raise "the event"). My problem is a "Key Mapping" problem. My actual PocketPC device (a Dell Axim X3) has 6 HotKeys. The PocketPC Emulators have 4 HotKeys. On my device, HotKeys #1 and #6 are hard-to-press "outboard" buttons that will not be used in the app; I use the four main circular buttons that roughly correspond with the 4 main buttons on a Palm device. (I'm porting an existing Palm app to PocketPC). For openers, Emulator HotKeys do not work right--they don't generate a KeyDown until after the (mouse) button is released. That's okay since this app will never be used on an emulator and I can single-step debug on the device. The big problem I have is that I've no idea if there are actually 4 key devices in the marketplace or the existing base of PocketPC devices. Every example of registering HotKeys I've seen registers 6 keys. Since it's a software registration, registering a non-existent hardware button does not fail. And I have a funny feeling that trying to return the KeyList using the GAPI will simple tell me that everything below 256 is available. (And if it did work to tell me which keys a device actually has, it seems like an awful lot of overhead for this one thing.) Simply put, on a 6 key device, I want buttons #2, #,3, #4, #5 to represent #1, #2, #3, #4. And my app is coded to do this now. It'd be nice if I could programmatically detect 4 or 6 key devices without which I'll resort to a user setting. Any words of wisdom out there? Thanks in advance. shapij Tag: Pocket PC 2002 Application Development Hand Guide for EVB Developers ? Part 1 Tag: 80784

    - Mobile device acting as a server? Hi. Please accept my apologies, my question isn't specific to PocketPC; I'm at a loss as to which newsgroup my question ought to be directed. I have a wireless mobile device: an XP laptop with an LG VX4400 cellphone connected via USB using Verizon Wireless NationalAccess (40-50kbps). My application: VERY infrequently the laptop will be requested to upload data it quietly gathers. The problem: When the customer wants his data he wants it NOW! To me it isn't cost effective to have the laptop connect to the server once per minute only to discover that the customer isn't interested in seeing his data yet. The customer may go one week, or one month, or one day without requesting his data; he is unpredictable. My plan: Since the cellphone is capable of accepting phone calls it seems best for the laptop to sit back and wait for a connection. What do you, the collective community of professional architects and developers, think about this? Is there a better solution that evades me? Can anyone point me to a resource that explains how to write a client/server app that connects to the server over a dial-up connection? Thanks, Brian.

Choose OK to copy the database without synchronizing it or choose Cancel to end this operation, rename your source database, and try again later" The names i am handling are not too long (max 10 ch), and i need to synchronize the ppc with the db in a way that i connect the ppc to the computer and the data is transferred automatically to the remote sql server.

    - Using cabwizard to build multiple cabs Hi, I am presently utilising the cabwizard.exe application to build cab files for the deployment of an application. I have recently came into the following two situations which I am unsure how to resolve while utilising this method to produce installations. 1) The requirement to include as part of my installation another application already packaged as a cab file (i.e. Product B includes as part of it Product A, and it should automatically be installed when Product B is installed). 2) The requirement to make special versions of our application where the installation needs to be modified slightly for a particular purpose (perhaps an additional file deployed, perhaps a registry setting changed slightly). The first requirement can be resolved by modifing the main product's inf file (Product B) to deploy Product A's cab file, and then utilising a setup dll to actually install that additional cab on the device. I am wondering if there is a better way to go about this. The second requirement it seems is more difficult to achive, as there doesn't seem to be any way include another inf file from within a inf file (i.e. ProductB.inf including ProductBCustomisation.inf). In my case I am storing the inf files in a source revision control environment, and when we require a product customistation I am sharing the files between multiple projects. The problem is that as soon as I need to modify an installation parameter (deploy additional file, set another registry key) I have to branch the inf file and hence maintaince of both copies becomes a pain (presently I have about 6 copies to keep in sync). If I could include an additional inf file (say ProductBCustomistaion.inf) I would only have one file which needs to be project specific, and I wouldn't need to branch ProductB.inf all the time. Alternatively if cabwizard/inf files/cab files can not really be manipulated to support these kinds of things, is there a better approach (tool) to be dealing with these kinds of things.

I have been successfully doing that with Visual C++ 6.0 that stores on my Compact Flash card (and with a card reader), so I can sit any computer and do programming immediately But I could not do this with eVC++ 4.0. What I do is just copy all the program files to the card, and I know this is not right. So maybe somebody can give me some ideas?

    - Is it possible to use an extender card? Hi, I am working on a project in which, analog data has to be read from a simple electrical circuit to a pocket PC. I was given a 5V PCMCIA extender card for interfacing the pocket PC with the circuit. I am wondering if this project is really feasible by using a simple extender card. I am a beginner in this field. so, I am not able to figure out the feasibility issues. The things I have thought are: 1. if a device driver has been written to control the external circuit, should I be having somekind of memory/hardware which will send the device ID for the device driver to identify it. I would appreciate u'r advice in this regard. Sivakanth. Tag: Pocket PC 2002 Application Development Hand Guide for EVB Developers ? Part 1 Tag: 80717

    - USB on PPC I am in the development stage of a new USB device. I want to be able to use it on both the PC and PPC. There are a few obvious problems: 1) The PC is a USB server and the PPC is a USB client. 2) The USB cable from the PPC is male and the connection on the PC is female. Therefore I would need some type of adapter. Is there such a thing? Is it possible to create a USB device that acts as both a client and server? Are there any books, web sites, etc. that would help me with this? Thanks for the help. Tag: Pocket PC 2002 Application Development Hand Guide for EVB Developers ? Part 1 Tag: 80716

    - Good Pocket PC Development Book - recommendation please Hi There, I am a VB developer new to the world of using and developing on the Pocket PC. I come across many frustrations. Like often when connected via USB and exploring the Pocket PC device, all of a sudden I cannot see any files from my Windows XP Pro laptop. I'm also doing a project with ArcPad mapping software and I want this to be the only application that I run on the PDA. Other things I want to achieve are to change the default browser from IE because Pocket IE cannot play video files. Is there a good book that teaches in a concise way the fundamentals of Pocket PC development so I can understand where the problems come from? Ideally not a wishy washy book that explain what the buttons do, but one that is aimed at developers and gives good practical details. Sometimes I have posted a few questions to this group and not received answers and I am not sure if this is because PDA development is still quite a new area or that I still have such a bad understanding that I am not asking the questions in the right way. Any comments are welcome. Kind regards Dave Tag: Pocket PC 2002 Application Development Hand Guide for EVB Developers ? Part 1 Tag: 80715

    - mdb versus pdb hi experts, sorry for my poor english. I will start to develop a application that will run on a Pocket PC 2003. My developers tool is Visual Studio 2003 with C# . The database is (must) be an access-database. It comes on the desktop as a xyz.MDB file and on the pocket pc as a xyz.PDB file. my installation on a custumers pda need a filled database with some records. During the installations, the active sync make the a conversation from mdb to pdb. so far so good How are You doing to resolve this (in my eyes) problem; to have different databases on the developers environment and on the target machine - the PDA. Thanks for help Rainer Borchmann Tag: Pocket PC 2002 Application Development Hand Guide for EVB Developers ? Part 1 Tag: 80713
