But I don't have the control for reading(obtaining) the barcode in the program. Could some one provide such a control(ITCAxBarCodeReaderControl)?

    - Browser Customization in WM5 I'm trying to find a way to determine what IPIEHTMLElement, if any, the stylus is over when using tap-and-hold to display the context menu. The problem is that the Pocket WebBrowser control, although it supports IWebBrowser2 in Windows Mobile 5+, does not support IHTMLDocument2, which has a very handy method called "elementFromPoint", which is exactly what I need. Instead, it has IPIEHTMLDocument2, which lacks this method, or seemingly anything like it. The goal is to display an alternate context menu when over links, so as to provide an "Open in new tab" functionality in a tabbed pocketIE- based browser, for which I need the element (to know if it's a link, and the URL of the link). I am pretty sure it should be possible to do this with the WM5 browser control, and even perhaps with some of the previous versions of the control. Why? Because there are programs like "MultiIE" and "Spb Pocket Plus" that provide extended PocketIE-based browsers (or extensions to the browser) that ARE capable of the behaviour I want. So it must be possible, perhaps using an obscure or undocumented API, or perhaps I'm just missing something. Tag: Run Regional Settings from Autorun.exm Tag: 125942

    - Window similar to "Select a picture..." from Pocket Outlook Contacts Hi, everybody! Currently, I'm developing native application for Windows Mobile 5 for PocketPC, that should have a feature, similar to the one in Pocket Outlook Contacts application. If you edit any contact in device's Contacts application, and want to assign a picture for contact, the "Select a picture..." window is displayed, which has an embedded windows file explorer (like in "File Explorer" application), in which all files are displayed as thumbnails. So, my application should have exactly the same window, which will allow user to select image files. My question is: how? i don't believe they have a separate control with a exact-file-explorer functionality, so I'm wonder about a secret trick... I've tried using IShellBrowser, IShellFolder, IShellView interfaces, but the main method IShellFolder::CreateViewObject returns E_NOTIMPL. Please, help me! Thanks in advance!

    - help to catch notifications on ppc using imapisession::Advise have quoted the code below. Hope that anyone can give an idea to make it work in the pocket PC/Smartphone platform Hi, Here is a code to catch notifications on ppc using imapisession::Advise But it doesn't work and we never get notified when new mails comes on the device. can anyone help out to detect the cause and how to get notifications on a ppc/smartphone. thanks. Catch Email sent Event From Device - Jeffrey Min [MSFT] 12-Mar-07 04:17:16 Kamii, To use IMAPISession::Advise, you must create a class that implements the IMAPIAdviseSink interface. A basic understanding of COM (Component Object Model) programming is helpful. You need to implement the base IUnknown functions (QueryInterface, AddRef, Release), as well as the IMAPIAdviseSink::OnNotify function. class CMySink : public IMAPIAdviseSink { public: // IUnknown HRESULT QueryInterface(REFIID iid, void **ppvObject); ULONG AddRef(); ULONG Release(); // IMAPIAdviseSink ULONG OnNotify(ULONG cNotif, LPNOTIFICATION lpNotifications); }; At the start of your application, start a MAPI session and register your advise sink using the Advise function. void CMyApp::Initialize() { // Start MAPI session MAPILogonEx(0, NULL, NULL, 0, (IMAPISession**)&m_pSession); // Create advise sink object m_pAdviseSink = new CMySink(); // Register the advise sink for object moved notifications m_pSession->Advise(0, NULL, fnevObjectMoved, (LPMAPIADVISESINK)m_pAdviseSink, &m_ulAdviseConnection); } Now that your advise sink is registered, the OnNotify function will be called every time there is an object moved notification. In the OnNotify function, you can check for only those messages you are interested in (i.e. check if it is a message being moved into the Sent Items folder). Hope this helps. -- Jeffrey Min Software Development Engineer Microsoft Corp. Tag: Run Regional Settings from Autorun.exm Tag: 125933

    - Windows Message problems on Today Screen Plugin I've having some trouble with windows messages, as in which ones to intercept and call for an invalidaterect. With my plugin visible I can pop up a message box and position it over my plugin briefly. When I remove the box, the plugin beneath it is a bunch of gobbelty gook. If I then select/deselect or navigate through the plugin's area if refreshes normally. I did notice that when I intercepted the WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED message, this would not happen. Unfortunately, it would redraw me any time I navigated around on the screen. I've got a bug somewhere in my redraw code for my icon and text that's causing the screen to flash even though I'm using double buffering. So this particular issue is troublesome. I'm sure I can figure out the problem with my double buffering but I'm a little confused on the windows message interception thing. Does anyone have any advice on how to tell when my plugin has been uncovered so I can tell it to repaint itself properly? Or could it perhaps something in the way I'm painting my background/watermark? I can give more details as needed. I'm just not sure what to show first. I think once I get this thing fully functional I'm going to rip out the company specific stuff in it and post it as a full example of how to handle today plugins. Every tutorial and sample code i've been finding gives me only a little bit. Bits and pieces and then I have to continue digging for each new case that comes up ( like with the plugin being covered by a message box ). Hopefully I can help save somebody a few steps.

    - Scrolling a dialog Hi, Can anyone point me in the direction of a sample which scrolls a dialog containing child controls? It seems a reasonable thing to do - but none of the sample projects demonstrate it. For instance the demo CECamara presents an entry dialog with controls and a scrollbar, yet the scrolling is not implemented. I've hunted around and found a few code snippets that give a hint on how to do it but I have been unsuccessful - my code either does nothing or crashes the emulator. I am working in native win32 C++ and such an example would be great, but even an MFC example which worked would be appreciated as at least it might put me on the right track. TIA.

    - Get Bitmap of a Form or Control Hey gang. I am looking to do some alpha transparency / transparent Panels in NETCF. Is there any PInvoke functions to get a bitmap from a control? I am not looking to just get a bitmap from an owner drawn control. I want the real image of whats on screen behind a Control somehow. So if I have a Button behind a Panel I can paint the image of what is behind the Panel as the Panel's BG. Making it seem transparent. In NETCF many objects don't support a BackColor = Color.Transparent so this is what I am trying to achieve for Panels, Labels etc. So that controls behind them show through. I know in Vista there is a DrawToBitmap API but is there anything I can do to achieve something similiar? Maybe not force a control to draw to a bitmap but capture the controls bitmap through a handle or atleast a form then I can crop based on control Bounds? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - PPC Today Screen Plugin - The Saga Continues I'm getting close to the end now and thus the wierdness is getting more frustrating. My today screen plugin looks all nice and spiffy except the icon is just a little too big for my tastes. The customer said it looked fine so I'm not gonna worry about it. My code is all written in generic GDI that should work just as well on the desktop in a window as it does on the PPC. It worked just great on the Smartphone. I've organized it so that essentially all you need to do is pass in your icon and your text along with your HDC and your fore, back & transparency color and it handles the rest. All neat and clean and black boxy. It took some doing to get it working on the PPC. The PPC would literally lock up on the first paint event it got. But I discovered what the problem was and fixed it. Now it's working good except, there is a matter of the background in a Today screen. It's apparently got some sort of watermark I need to contend to that is only passed in to the plugin on a WM_ERASEBKGND event. If I allow the SDK example code to handle the background erasing and painting, everything is where it should be looking good up until the point where you use the 8125's directional pad to move the plugin selector up and down. If the selector moves into or out of my plugin's area the whole screen flashes for about 1/4 of a second and repaints. All the code's actually doing is sending another windows message with the watermark as a parameter to it's own window handle. If I set the result in the WM_ERASEBKGND event to TRUE and comment out that code, I get my plugin stuff just fine but with a background of various memory spoo that hasn't been erased. I have a function to paint backgrounds in my ScreenHandler class. Right now it only handles colors but I could easily add another to paint backgrounds. I just need to know how I can get the section of the watermark ( or the whole watermark ) I need so I can pass it into my Redraw method. I've done a bunch of searching, even in here, and I find it odd that I'm not finding anything dealing with self drawn watermark backgrounds in a Today plugin. Obviously somebody knows how to do this correctly since the other plugins don't flash when you select them. Does anyone know how to do this properly? Do I need to load the background and cut out the section I need and double buffer it behind my icon and text? I can show my existing code if that'll help. Thanks in advance, I'll be glad when I can put this behind me. Ed Tag: Run Regional Settings from Autorun.exm Tag: 125861

    - How to remove PPC 'Setup' app Greetings, I'm pretty good with C# but I'm a relative newb when it comes to C++ in general and mobile development in particular. I'm basically learning the trade as I go. Unfortunately this also means I make a lot of bonehead coding mistakes that more experienced devs wouldn't. As a result I have to hard reset my device a lot. I'm pretty sure the answer to this question will be 'No', but I figured I'd ask anyway just in case. I've done a bunch of net searching and haven't found much on this topic. Just people complaining basically. I'm REALLY sick of seeing the initial setup screens after a hard reset. I'd really just like to get back to trying to figure out what I did wrong and not have to jump through a bunch of hoops I don't care about. This isn't a consumer device and it'll probably never be one. It's a development machine. What I'm talking about ( specifically on the 8125 ) is the initial setup applet that shows: Align Screen, Location, Stylus ( which does nothing) , Popup Menus and Password and you need to step through all of them to get to the today screen. I really don't need a tutorial on how to copy and paste, nor do I particularly care what timezone I'm in and I don't care about a password so at least four of those screens are a waste of my time. I have developed on other devices that have differing screens and some that have 'skip' buttons on them ( which I really love ) They are probably OEM built, but is there a way to remove these screens all together? Or perhaps to get a ROM update which either eliminates them or adds the 'skip' button so I can get back to work quicker? Surely I'm not the only person who has complain about these screens. The only one I can see really needing to appear would be the alignment screen, though if you poke anywhere in the vicinity of the crosshairs it still works just fine so I'm not so sure. Anybody know anything about this? E Tag: Run Regional Settings from Autorun.exm Tag: 125846

    - Registry or .ini for settings storage? Hi everyone, I'm trying to decide what would be the best way to store my Pocket PC application settings. My first choice is the registry, but I'm worried about the security policy and read/write access since I'm not sure if my app will be signed (initially). From what I've read I'd need Privileged access to write to certain hives (source: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms885964.aspx). But does this mean that all other read and writes are fine, even for an unsigned app? I plan on putting my settings in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MyCompany\MyApp\. Or, would it be better to put them in HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead? There's also the issue of backwards-compatibility since this app will be running on WM 2003, 5 and 6 devices, plus potential restrictions with Phone Edition devices. Speaking of which, does anyone know of carriers restricting registry access for unsigned applications on Pocket PC Phone Edition devices? I read that there may be something similar with Smartphones, but I'm not sure about PPC's If it helps, I'll be using native C++ with ATL. So, to sum up: I'm mainly wondering if anyone would be willing to provide some advice on the most widely used/accepted method of storing application settings. Is there a "best practices" or common approach for this? Thank you very much, Chris Writely Tag: Run Regional Settings from Autorun.exm Tag: 125833

    - Incorrect position of CStatusBar in high DPI resolutions on startup Hi! I generated a simple MFC application (single document w/o document/ view architecture) with status bar using MFC AppWizard (eVC 4.0). I made it HiDPI aware including CEUX resource, #including shguim.h, #including uihelper.h, calling HiDPI_InitScaling in InitInstance. If I start this application on VGA device, the status bar is positioned off the window (its lower half is covered by the menu bar). If I enter About dialog (also generated by the wizard) and close it, the status bar is repositioned and shown correctly. This does not happen on QVGA devices (I tried it in WM5 emulator). It is also ok (on VGA and QVGA), if there is no CEUX resource. At very first begining, I thought, that the height of the status bar is calculated incorrectly, but after some hours I found out that its height is ok and the source of this problem is the incorrect size of main window (CMainFrame). Note: I was playing with RecalcLayout() which did not work for me - of course, because the problem is somewhere else. So, I ended up with SetWindowPos called for the main window in CMainFrame::OnCreate. For calculating the height of the main window, I'm using the <screen height> - GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYMENU) - some value. The value depends on the OS type (I was testing on PPC2003SE and WM5 - emulator and I had to distinguish between them). Is this problem known (I was searching the groups but with no success)? Is there a better solution how to fix this? I really do not like the hack with distinguishing the device OS and using magic numbers for correct window hight.

    - ActiveSync Service Provider for appointments in WM5 We have an ActiveSync Service Provider that synchronizes our desktop appointments database to the Outlook appointments on Pocket PC 2003. The synchronization does not work any more for Mobile 5 and 6 devices. Here are details: Whenever ObjectNotify is called on our device provider, we know something has changed (or deleted) and if this notification concerns our appointments we fill up OBJNOTIFY structure. But on Mobile 5 and later ObjectNotify function gives us series of wrong oids not related to IAppointments. What's worse, even if we pass through OBJNOTIFY structure proper oid, ActiveSync never calls the Setup/GetPacket/Reset sequence after that. It seems that notifications from EDB databases (like Pocket Outlook on Mobile 5) are not correctly supported by ActiveSync. Is it possible to get proper notifications from ActiveSync like it was on Pocket PC 2003? We notice that original Outlook provider in Mobile 5 does not perform continuously synchronization. It can only be triggered manually by pressing the button Sync on ActiveSync Manager. We tried to follow this way, but without success. Is it possible that Microsoft no more uses ObjectNotify function for quering ActiveSync Provider for changed items? Has anyone implemented ActiveSync Service Provider on Mobile 5 using Pocket Outlook, or anyone knows how Microsoft deals with the problem we are having? Thanks in advance for your help.

    - Win CE Core 5.0 Debug I have VS2005 SP1 Standard and a Windows CE Core 5.0 device where I can run and debug native win32 applications. But I can't debug .net apps. I can deploy and start them on the device but it didn't hit any breakpoints. If try a different "full" Windows CE 5.0 device the same project is running and I can set breakpoints. So must be something missing in CE Core. The application itself running but I cant debug mor connect to that running process. Does anybody knows what's missing in "CE Core" ? thomas Tag: Run Regional Settings from Autorun.exm Tag: 125816

    - Development environments Hi all, I am a newbie on Pocket PC programming. I have been doing quite a bit of research recently and have a few questions. I was going to write in .NET (probably C#) as I have good knowledge of this in an ASP.NET environment. However, reading vaious forums suggests that this is quite slow compared to native code using Visual C++ (eVC++) I have downloaded eVC++ and after about 4 days, managed to get a working hello world app running. (Things missing, hardly any getting started guides on the net and other stuff... I downloaded MANY MBs of different software to get it going.) So, here is what I want to do. I am concerned about the speed, hence the reason I am looking at eVC, but as I don't have any background experience in C++, will probably struggle to get anywhere. eMbedded Visual Tools comes with visual basic as well as C++. Would VB built with eVB also be faster than .NET? Are there any eVC programming tutorials around that will help me to get to grips with the language? (for example, step by step to creating some simple applications, the step by step being suitable for a newbie. I have yet to find anything.) Can eVC and eVB easily communicate with .NET webservices? Ultimately, I will also want to communicate directly with the inbuilt phone hardware / software, such as communicating with the RIL and getting the IMEI information. I know that .NET cannot connect to the RIL properly. Parts of the app I want to build could be done in .NET, others in C++. Is there easy ways of communicating, for example, if I were to write a C++ app that contacted the RIL, could I get the C# app to talk to my C++ app to get the information? I will probably have many more questions, but these will help me to make an informed decision as to which way I should go. Aside from these, your advice would probably be useful. -- Best regards, Dave Colliver. http://www.AshfieldFOCUS.com ~~ http://www.FOCUSPortals.com - Local franchises available Tag: Run Regional Settings from Autorun.exm Tag: 125800

    - Dialog suddenly become maximized. Why? I have MFC based project, which run on HP iPAQ PDA under Windows Mobile 5. I've created custom message box modal dialog for my application with child style. The dialog has variable number of custom buttons, some of which are hidden. The m_bFullScreen variable always set to FALSE. I have very strange behavior. Sometimes when I click on button (or any other area of dialog) , the dialog become maximized. In this case its corresponded OnButton handler is not even called. The second click on the same button closes the dialog. Can anyone comment on this very strange behavior of the dialog?

    - How to get a command bar in my today item's dialog Hi group I've already written some small apps, some with quite a number of dialogs and they all got their own menu. Now I'm working on a today plugin which has an own options dialog. My problem: I set it up to show the dialog when I tap on its area on the today screen. But then the dialog has no command bar, thus no SIP as well. But when I open the dialog through Settings->Today->Items there is such a bar with a SIP. Could you please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'd like to get a commandbar which provides a SIP to enter settings. Following is an excerpt from my options dialog procedure. I use the same code in my other apps (that is, in dialogs that are opened within the apps), where it works. Is there something evidently wrong here? case WM_INITDIALOG: SHINITDLGINFO shidi; shidi.dwMask=SHIDIM_FLAGS; shidi.hDlg=hDlg; // hDlg comes from function interface shidi.dwFlags=SHIDIF_DONEBUTTON | SHIDIF_SIZEDLGFULLSCREEN; SHInitDialog(&shidi); hwndCB=CreateRpCommandBar(hDlg,IDM_OPTIONS); hMenu=(HMENU)SendMessage(hwndCB,SHCMBM_GETMENU,(WPARAM)0,(LPARAM)0); break; hwndCB and hMenu are defined within the function as a static HWND and HMENU, respectively. The menu resource IDM_OPTIONS exists, of course ;-) The only difference I can think of is that in my other apps I have an own main window which already brings along a commandbar in which the dialog's menu is placed, whereas a today item's "main window" is embedded in the today screen and therefore doesn't have that bar. I'd apreciate any helpful answers. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla' Quoting can be so easy: http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html Tag: Run Regional Settings from Autorun.exm Tag: 125789

    - Microsoft Mobile Internet Toolkit Hi, I'm starting to use ASP.NET mobile controls, and I read that I should download the Microsoft Mobile Internet Toolkit (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=ae597f21-b8e4-416e-a28f-b124f41f9768&displaylang=en). When I started running the setup it said that it might overwrite existing files, and since the date on the download page was Jan 2002, I'm worried that it will overwrite things like .NET Compact Framework or WM5 or PPC2003 SDK files. Does anyone know if the Internet Toolkit is included in later downloads, or if there is a later safer version to install, or what files may be overwritten? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help, Steve Tag: Run Regional Settings from Autorun.exm Tag: 125788
