    - help uninstalling solitaire Dear developers, For som odd reason I cannot stop playing solitaire on my windows mobile 5 device. Ie. I'm wasting my time - and I thought this device was to make me more efficient. Usually I uninstall all such programmes on my computers. But after extensive searches on the net, I learn that pre-installed games _cannot_ be uninstalled. Hence: dear developers, can you somehow give me advice as to how I can corrupt, sabotage or remove these games? Thanks in advance! frankel Tag: Pocket Apps Developed, Made, designed, Wanted Tag: 115387

    - How to load/unload drivers at runtime Hi, I am currently working closely with USB on the WM5 platform. My application requries that the USB function on the device uses the Serial_Class driver (which is found under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/drivers/USB/FunctionDrivers or something like that). There is a setting in that key which controls which Function driver is loaded by default, and if I change this from RNDIS to Serial_Class, then my application works perfectly. The only downfall is that I can no longer hotsync (I have seen other devices hotsync after removing RNDIS however not all will). For this reason, I require a way to programatically change which USB Function driver is running. Does anybody know how to unload a driver from the Active drivers and load another in its place? An interesting thing to note is the program called 'Modem Link' which is distributed with most WM5 devices I've seen. This can programatically switch between RNDIS and USBSER_Class, which turns the PDA into a USB modem. I have not been able to find any information about how it operates though. Source code would be immensely useful. Anybody know how to do it? Many Thanks, Wayne Uroda Tag: Pocket Apps Developed, Made, designed, Wanted Tag: 115381

    - Autostart on WindowsCE from a SD Hi, I've got a small problem on the programming of a PDA, a Q-tek s-200: I have developed a small autostart application in C++ that should run whenever a SD card is inserted into the PDA. I have copied the executable into a 2577 folder on the SD but it doesn't seem to work. It has to be noticed that the PDA has a TI OMAP 850 CPU and uses the Windows Mobile Version 5 OS. Maybe the cpu is not an ARMv4? Or maybe the application must be signed ? Thanks for any suggestion ! Dario Tag: Pocket Apps Developed, Made, designed, Wanted Tag: 115375

    - Big problem about developing a PPC 2003 application for WM 5.0 dev Hi all, I developing a small PPC program by using VS.net 2003, when I build it on PPC emulator 2003 SE, everything is fine. However, I use my DELL x51v as device tool in VS.net 2003 and build in debug mode, I found that the program cannot be builded successfully due to many exceptions(most are system.exception).

    - Browse a website on my PC using the PDA thru USB Using Mobile IE I want to be able to browse websites that are running on my PC via the USB connection. I can do it when the PC is connected to the internet as it has an IP address. But when the PC is not connected I cannot access it via Mobile IE though I still can view the handheld from the PC. When the PC is disconnected from the work network the address 127.0.0.1 will work for browsing on the PC but I can't use that IP address from the PDA, for obvious reasons. I can't seem to use the PC's name. I have tried using a permanent IP address on the network adapter but when I disconnect from the work LAN ipconfig /all reports no IP address. It is almost like you need the ability to set an IP address into activeSync but my understanding of it is that activeSync acts as Internet Connection Sharing. The reason I need this is for when I am demonstrating software to clients. Any help would be appreciated Tag: Pocket Apps Developed, Made, designed, Wanted Tag: 115364

    - DLLImport Breaks Designer in VS2005 Hi All, Using a DLLImport in a user control prevents it from working in designer. To reproduce this issue, create a control library... leave the default control. Create an override for the Paint and have it clear the background to red. Next create an application project (need a Form to drag control on to). To verify your control works, drag it from the tool box... you get a red square. Now delete it from the Form and add the following to the control: References: using System.Reflection; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; Code: [DllImport("coredll.dll")] private static extern void keybd_event(byte bVk, byte bScan, uint dwFlags, uint dwExtraInfo); Now try dragging the control to the Form after you compile... you get a big gray square with the name space in it... it no longer draws itself and you may get different errors if you close and reopen studio with the project. This is a serious issue. Please help. Is there a fix... am I doing something wrong? Does anyone get the same behavior?

    - errno and time in WinCE general questions hi, i just posted about an issue with errno and WinCE. i've seen so far in my porting efforts that these some of the main issues. can anyone point me to a place that covers these topics? how in general these are handled? it would be nice to have a source to look at the standard way of dealing with these. for instance, right now i'm porting some internal libs to Mobile 5.0, and many functions call strerror(), which doesn't exist in Mobile 5.0, so i need to code around this, but am having problems as i described in my last post. tia, mickm Tag: Pocket Apps Developed, Made, designed, Wanted Tag: 115361

    - errno.h and WinCE hi, i have a situation where i'm porting a set of internal libraries from XP to WinCE, using VC2005 and the Mobile 5.0 SDK. these are low level libraries written in C, and use many of the windows GUI interface calls for drawing to bitmaps, displaying the bitmap on a DC, etc... my problem is errno.h related. a function makes a call to strerror(), which of course comes up as undefined. in searching around on the net, i found where someone was doing this in their api, (i forget the product it was for..), // OS provides a system error string DWORD dwError = GetLastError(); CString csDescription; FormatMessage( FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM | FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS, NULL, dwError, MAKELANGID(LANG_NEUTRAL,SUBLANG_DEFAULT), csDescription.GetBuffer(255), nSize, NULL ); csDescription.ReleaseBuffer(); since i wanted this to be available outside of this function, and not have to worry about allocating and freeing memory, for the moment i just made a global char array and got rid of usning a CString here. when i compile, i get DWORD, FORMAT... etc. coming up as undeclared identifiers, which makes sense as i don't have the proper includes. however, when i started off by adding #include <windows.h> i get the following: uterror.c C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce500\Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK\include\ARMV4I\winnt.h(2976) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'PCONTEXT' C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce500\Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK\include\ARMV4I\winnt.h(2977) : error C2059: syntax error : '}' C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce500\Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK\include\ARMV4I\winbase.h(1414) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'LPCONTEXT' C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce500\Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK\include\ARMV4I\winbase.h(1414) : error C2059: syntax error : ';' now i just figured that i don't have the proper include file order, and since i don't know it, i decided to create an app from scratch and see what it does. as far as i can see, VC2005 doesn't have a default project for WinCE, Mobile or anything of the sort, so i created a default win32 project, and then changed the configuration to 'Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC'. well, i get the same compile errors as listed above!!! so it seems there is a problem in the Mobile 5.0 SDK. anyone have any ideas for me? all i need to do is to get this thing to compile and run right now, i can dive into the proper way to do it later if i need to. thanks, mickm Tag: Pocket Apps Developed, Made, designed, Wanted Tag: 115360

    - About CeCopyFile(RAPI) hi all, I have written a short test program use CeCopyFile() function to copy files from PPC to PC. But there are allways errors returned. For file the error number is 3 or 32 while for folder the error number is 5. I use CeFindFirstFile() and CeFindNextFile() to get the remote file path, so it exists absolutely. I don't know the the reason for it. I have searched for the threads related. It is said that CeCopyFile() is not reliable and we should write CeCreateFile(), CeReadFile(), CreateFile() and WriteFile() ourselves so as to achieve the functionality of CeCopyFile(). Really?

    - wceload breaks on Axim51 We ran into a problem when we shifted our device to Dell Axim x51 [spec: OS Name: Microsoft Windows CE; OS Version: 5.1 Build 70; Processor: StrongARM] from the iPAQ PocketPC 2003 [spec: OS Name: Microsoft Windows CE; OS Version: 4.20 Build 1081; Processor StrongARM]. The problem is with wceload. Nothing has changed in the code when we shifted from PPC2003 to PPC51. The parameters to wceload remains * /noaskdest /noui "my.cab"* After searching through the net, I realized that the behaviour of wceload has changed from PPC2003 to PPC51. From this link - http://blog.opennetcf.org/afeinman/default,date,2005-04-20.aspx the OP talks about the switch /noaskdest and its peculiar behaviour. Keeping in tune with this fact, the parameters to wceload now became * /noui "my.cab"*. Now WaitForSingleObject does not return anything. The applications justs exits at this point. Though after some amount of time, the cab gets extracted. From yet another link - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;297962 I used the boilerplate code provided there. Even for this approach, the setup application exits just before *if (WAIT_OBJECT_0 == WaitForSingleObject(hEvent, INFINITE))*. I am out of options now. I want to know whether the analysis of wceload (on Axim 51) not able to perform well with WaitForSingleObject is right ? Am I doing something wrong ? Can anyone tell me 1. What has changed in wceload 2. How to overcome the above problem. Any other approach is welcome as well. BTW, I have to say these cab files are not signed. Does that make any difference ?

    - VS2005, C#, .Net: start new project, no debugging info?!? Hi, I've just finished my first experiments with VS2005, C#, .Net. Now I want to start a new project from scratch, but debugging does not seem to work as advertised. I'm targeting a Dell Axim x51v Pocket PC connected to my developer machine through USB, ActiveSync 4.1. The symbol for my breakpoint turns from a big, filled, red dot into an outlined dot with an exclamation mark - somewhere during the rebuild, deploy, start-up cycle. Help in the tooltip seems to suggest I do not have debugging symbols or information, but I am sure I have set my Configuration to 'Debug'. Any suggestions? I got a nagging feeling that I'm overlooking something very obvious, but I'm out of options now. Hints much appreciated, cheers, Sandor Tag: Pocket Apps Developed, Made, designed, Wanted Tag: 115341

    - CDynamicAccessor, GetValue and blobs Hi All, I have a SQL Server 2005 database and I am pulling down (RDA) a table to SQL Server CE. I have a field that is nvarchar(512) on the desktop side which gets down to the device as ntext (blob.) So, I need to use CDynamicAccessor's GetValue to read this blob (which is really just some longer text than just 256 characters and that's why it gets converted to ntext) Of course, everything is UNICODE... so please keep that in mind. Please tell me if this is correct: == Code === IUnknown** ppUnknown = NULL; ISequentialStream* pISequentialStream = NULL; ppUnknown = (IUnknown**) cmd.GetValue(1); // cmd is a CCommand<CDynamicAccessor, ... > HRESULT textHR = (*ppUnknown)->QueryInterface(IID_ISequentialStream, (void**) &pISequentialStream); TCHAR pBuffer[512]; // 1024 bytes; i.e., 512 unicode characters aka nvarchar(512) ULONG ulBytesRead = 0; // Part below is taken from an MS sample if (SUCCEEDED(textHR)) { do { HRESULT hr = pISequentialStream->Read(pBuffer, sizeof(pBuffer), &ulBytesRead); } while ( sizeof(pBuffer) == ulBytesRead ); } // End MS sample // Shouldn't the line above be ending in "while ( sizeof(pBuffer) >= ulBytesRead )" instead ?! .. *(pBuffer + ulBytesRead) = NULL; // Add the null terminator to the buffer AfxMessageBox(pBuffer); // I get the right stuff on the screen. // Could I say here: CString str(pBuffer); and expect a unicode string in the str ? or, str = pBuffer sometime later after initialization... == End Code == Also, I have one last question: If I have an integer column that allows NULLs, and I try to read it as: int* pInt = (int*) cmd.GetValue(column); .. what should I get back from GetValue if the column doesn't have any data in it? (is null) I mean, if I would have a 0 in the column, *pInt would be 0, but what if the column in the database would contain no data (would be NULL) ? what would pInt be pointing to, and what would I get if I would dereference it? If pInt would point to an int and *pInt would be 0, how would I distinguish between the two? Thanks! Tag: Pocket Apps Developed, Made, designed, Wanted Tag: 115328

    - Connection Manager help Hi all, I am using having trouble understanding the intrictcies of the Connection Manager API. I have written code to establish a connection to a server through ConnMgr and then use sockets to send and receive data from that server. I have seen different behavior in three different circumstances and am wondering how to make sense of the behavior so that my code will work as intended. The three situations are below. 1. When I cradle my device and use the debugger to run my application, ConnMgr successfully connects to the server and my sockets are able to send and receive data to/from the server. 2. When my device is not cradled, ConnMgr fails to connect and when my socket code calls getHostByName(servername), the DNS lookup fails. 3. My device is not cradled. I open Pocket IE, which displays a bubble saying "Connecting to: Broadband Access Using: Cellular Line". After Pocket IE established broadband access, my application is able to connect to ConnMgr and the socket communication to/from the server works. Why does the conneciton not work when not cradled? How can I programmatically access the data channel that Pocket IE opens? What can I do to get connection when not cradled much appreciated, Mike P.S. My connection code is below // Make sure Connection Manager is ready HANDLE hConnMgr = NULL; BOOL bAvailable = FALSE; hConnMgr = ConnMgrApiReadyEvent(); if(!hConnMgr) return; // Wait for 1 second to see if Connection Manager has // signaled the event DWORD dwResult = WaitForSingleObject(hConnMgr, 1000); if(dwResult == WAIT_OBJECT_0) bAvailable = TRUE; // Close the event handle if(hConnMgr) CloseHandle(hConnMgr); // Did it connect ok? if(!bAvailable) return; // Do something now that Connection Manager is ready // Establish a synchronous connection HANDLE hConnection = NULL; DWORD dwStatus = 0; DWORD dwTimeout = 5000; // Get the network information where we want to establish a // connection TCHAR tchRemoteUrl[256] = TEXT("\0"); wsprintf(tchRemoteUrl, TEXT("http://www.servername.com")); GUID guidNetworkObject; DWORD dwIndex = 0; if(ConnMgrMapURL(tchRemoteUrl, &guidNetworkObject, &dwIndex) == E_FAIL) { OutputDebugString(TEXT("Could not map the request to a network identifier")); return; } // Now that we've got the network address, set up the // connection structure CONNMGR_CONNECTIONINFO ccInfo; memset(&ccInfo, 0, sizeof(CONNMGR_CONNECTIONINFO)); ccInfo.cbSize = sizeof(CONNMGR_CONNECTIONINFO); ccInfo.dwParams = CONNMGR_PARAM_GUIDDESTNET; ccInfo.dwFlags = CONNMGR_FLAG_PROXY_HTTP; ccInfo.dwPriority = CONNMGR_PRIORITY_HIPRIBKGND; ccInfo.guidDestNet = guidNetworkObject; // Make the connection request (timeout in 5 seconds) if(ConnMgrEstablishConnectionSync(&ccInfo, &hConnection, dwTimeout, &dwStatus) == E_FAIL) { MessageBox(NULL, _T("Cannot establish connection"), NULL, MB_OK); return; } MessageBox(NULL, _T("CONNECTED"), NULL, MB_OK); // Poll to see if the connection has been established BOOL fLoop = TRUE; BOOL fConnected = FALSE; while(fLoop) { dwStatus = 0; if(FAILED(ConnMgrConnectionStatus(hConnection, &dwStatus))) { // Do some error processing here MessageBox(NULL, _T("Error connecting"), NULL, MB_OK); fLoop = FALSE; break; } // Got the status, do something with it: if(dwStatus & CONNMGR_STATUS_CONNECTED) { MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("Connected!"), NULL, MB_OK); fLoop = FALSE; fConnected = TRUE; break; } if(dwStatus & CONNMGR_STATUS_WAITINGCONNECTION) MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("Establishing a connection...."), NULL, MB_OK); if(dwStatus & CONNMGR_STATUS_DISCONNECTED) { MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("Disconnected from the network...."), NULL, MB_OK); fLoop = FALSE; } } // Connection has been made, continue on... ... //Create a socket //Connect to server //Send/receive data ... } Tag: Pocket Apps Developed, Made, designed, Wanted Tag: 115327

    - TSP Question Hi, I'm using tapi on a iMate 2003 jam phone and I've run into several features not being supported by that tsp, such as voice mail, wav files over the line, radio signal, etc.. . I'm trying to find a good phone with a good tsp to go forward with my development and was hoping a developer here would have thoughts on which phones had the best tsp. I don't care if it's mobile 2003 or 2005. Tag: Pocket Apps Developed, Made, designed, Wanted Tag: 115321

    - Datatype misalignment exception in CDialog I am working on a project in EVC++ 4.0 SP4. Also "Update 5636" is installed that is related to my problem (http://tinyurl.com/faj6l). "First chance exception in xxxxx.exe: 0x80000002: Datatype Misalignment" occurs when "OK" is clicked in dialog that is inherited from CDialog. If I press F5 to continue execution assertion fails in "wincore.cpp, line 1143": ASSERT(pMap->LookupPermanent(hWndOrig) == NULL); Release version just exits without any warning. This error appeared suddenly, when I was changing bitmaps for toolbar to make it compatible with VGA resolution, and adding code to dynamically load toolbar depending on screen resolution. What is interesting, when I changed affected dialog class to old code without changes that used to work perfectly, same error still happens! Exception occurs when I press F11 on line 630 in file dlgcore.cpp: ::EndDialog(m_hWnd, nResult); An exception throws me in assembly 2BF7A9CC b 2BF7A9D4 2BF7A9D0 mov r0, r9 2BF7A9D4 sub r0, r6, r0 2BF7A9D8 add r6, r0, r9 2BF7A9DC ldr r7, [r6] <<--- exception stops on this line 2BF7A9E0 cmp r7, #0 2BF7A9E4 ble 2BF7AB14 2BF7A9E8 tst r7, #1 2BF7A9EC beq 2BF7AAA8 2BF7A9F0 ldr r0, [r6, #4] I installed "Update 5636" from microsoft http://tinyurl.com/faj6l , but no changes I searched google groups but I could not find solution Thanks for any ideas Tag: Pocket Apps Developed, Made, designed, Wanted Tag: 115291

    - Smart Minimize and Form Style I'm using the .Net CF 2.0. When you create a form based app and you define the form style as NONE (to enable a scrollable form) and you press the Smart Minimize button, the smart minimize button goes away, but the form stays visible (i.e., the today screen is not shown). If you change the form style to FIXED SINGLE, the the Smart Minimize button works as expected. How can I get the Smart Minimize button to actually hide (minimize) my app when I use the form style of NONE??? I want a scrollable form.

I use now setsystemtime but it seems that it doesn't set the millisecond field, (year/month/day/hour/min/sec is ok.) because if I call getsystemtime directly after this method it returns always 0 for milliseconds. Anybody can help?

    - Regarding Registry in WM5 Hello, I have a difficulty with updating the registry keys (HKLM\Drivers subkeys) in my recently bought iPaq2795 with Windows Mobile 5 OS. The behavior found only after i performed a hard-reset(reset to factory settings). Prior to this, i could modify the registry keys under Drivers\Builtin without any problems.

It would be very helpful, if anyone could help me solve this problem.How can i modify the registry keys which persists after a soft-reset in my device?. regards, Gomas Tag: Pocket Apps Developed, Made, designed, Wanted Tag: 115278
