    - Chinese File name problem in PDA Dear All Our Application do some download of File from Server to PDA though FTP English Filename is working Fine. When a Chinese File Name is used, the PDA will show some strange characters in the FileName. However, When I do copy & Paste to "Mobile Device" through File Explorer The Chinese filename can be I suspect that it may due to something about Unicode Conversion of String in My Coding. I try something like that but Fail ! For i = 1 To len1 tempstr = tempstr + ChrW(AscW(Mid(str1, i, 1))) Next i Do anybody have similar problem before.Please help give me a hand.

    - Pocket IE childNodes collection Hi, It seems to me that Pocket IE under Pocket PC 2003 doesn't support the childNodes collection. How can we traverse the children of a DOM node and find the ones we are looking for by id under Pocket IE. Also, is Microsoft bringing out a newer version of Pocket IE that supports more of the W3C standards like IE 6.0 on the PC? Thanks!

    - USB HID enumeration for PPC I have built a usb device (lets say a simple thermometer) that communicates with a pc over the HID class. I therefore dont need any special driver and can enumerate it easely on the desktop pc where my windows application is running and shows the temperature in a form now I need to go mobile and with my thermometer and want to plug it on a pocket pc. (yes, there are some devices with usb host; toshiba, fujitsu ...) I guess they also will enumerate my thermometer correctly and see it as an HID device after pluggin in. My problem is now how can I get a handle to the usb device in windows mobile? how can I loop through my connected devices in code ? I know how to do this in VS.Net for Windows applications but how can I do this for a windows mobile application? Tag: ANN: Review of PPC Help authoring tool on DEVBUZZ Tag: 88435

    - Emulator gives Exception 0xc0000005 I am using Visual Studio 2003. I have created a dll using C#, and have a small application also using C# that I created for the pocket PC. I am using the PPC2003 emulator. The application is compiled for the PPC2003 emulator, and the dll for WinCE. While debugging, I get seemingly repeatable exceptions in several parts of my code. But when I modify my code, the exception starts occurring in different sections of my code. I have set up the debugger to halt on all exceptions, but this exception is never caught. I have also had the same behavior using the WinCE emulator, and PPC2002 emulator. Has anyone seen this kind of behavior? Is there a solution?

I have proceeded considerably with my transport and form dlls. MSDN documentation was quite helpful in this.

    - HP photosmart SDK program problem I'm trying to write a program for my iPaq hx4700 with a photosmart mobile camera using the SDK available from HP and I am having mixed results. I can use the functions to take a snapshot and save it as a jpg but the functions to get the buffer data then translate it from jpg to bmp are failing.

I have been able to get there using the EnterBootLoader.exe program, but it seems there should be another way that is not dependent on having an operating system loaded. I am looking into putting another OS on the iPaq, so if I hose the ROM I would like to know how to get back to the boot loader so I can restore the ROM from my SD backup. I have tried all of the key combinations I could find for other iPaqs, but none seem to work. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    - Data call question. I am using the Pocket PC 2002 connection manager.The problem I am having is that when I establish a data call an interactive box pops up asking to hide or end the connection. This freezes up and won't allow me to select either option. I changed the dwpriority of CONNMGR_CONNECTIONINFO from sConInfo.dwPriority=CONNMGR_PRIORITY_USERINTERACTIVE; // user interface waiting on this connection. to sConInfo.dwPriority=CONNMGR_PRIORITY_HIPRIBKGND; // high priority background connection. I just want the data call to be establish with no interaction from the user. Is this possible? There seems to be soem conflict with my other windows causing the freeze up. Thanks! -Frank I woud like to hide this completely and just establish the connection. Tag: ANN: Review of PPC Help authoring tool on DEVBUZZ Tag: 88383

If someone has any experience with SSL on CE, please be so kind to help or give some good hints on how to implement or where to find the appropriate documentation or source code sample. Some questions we have: - Does Windows CE 3.0 supports SSL natively for a server app? Sample code available ? - Does Windows CE 3.0 supports SSL natively for a client app? Same for .NET: - Does Windows CE 4.0 supports SSL natively for a server app? - Does Windows CE 4.0 supports SSL natively for a client app?

    - Unable to implement proactive check VS2003 / PPC 2003 When I searched for methods of checking whether SQL Server CE is installed, I found reasonable suggestions. However, when I try to run any code at all (not attempting to instantiate any data objects) while SQL Server is not installed in my emulator and my project references the SqlServerCe namespace, my app doesn't even launch. I know when I attempt to run a .net executable on a desktop that contains missing references, I get an error message at startup. Is there anything that can be done in this case?

    - What's going on here? If I run the following code from VS2003 to a PPC 2003 emulator: static void Main() { MessageBox.Show("hi"); Application.Run(new MainForm()); } The first time it runs I only see the message box. Subsequent runs of the app on the emulator show the form. It seems like this is what is happening: - I click the 'X' on the message box, but the app is still running. - The form opens but I don't see it. - When I launch the app subsequent times, the form that already exists is merely becoming visible. - When I close the app it doesn't really close. Is that what's going on here? If so, where is my form after I 'X' the message box? Tag: ANN: Review of PPC Help authoring tool on DEVBUZZ Tag: 88367

    - Problem setting email options with provisioning file Hello! I would really appreciate any help to solve the following problem: I have created an email account using a XML provisioning file. The only issue I cannot solve, is to set the listbox in the e-mail options dialog (Options 3/3) to "Get full copy of messages". 1. I created my mail account using a XML provisioning file. 2. On the PPC I open Inbox, select Accounts and choose my created account. 3. The "E-mail setup" dialog is displayed (page 1 of 4). 4. I click on "Next" until "E-mail setup" page 4. 5. There I click on "Options". 6. On the third page of the "Option" dialog I select "Get message header only" in the top listbox. 7. Now I run "rapiconfig /P /M query.xml" where "query.xml" looks like: <wap-provisioningdoc> <characteristic type="EMAIL2"> <characteristic-query type="{751F77F6-920D-43e3-AFCB-7888B2666C63}"/> </characteristic> </wap-provisioningdoc> 8. The returned "RapiConfigOut.xml" looks like: <wap-provisioningdoc> <characteristic type="EMAIL2"> <characteristic type="{751F77F6-920D-43e3-AFCB-7888B2666C63}"> <parm name="SERVICENAME" value="MMS"/> <parm name="SERVICETYPE" value="MMS"/> <parm name="INSERVER" value="mms"/> <parm name="AUTHNAME" value="user@mms"/> <parm name="DOMAIN" value=""/> <parm name="OUTSERVER" value="mms"/> <parm name="REPLYADDR" value="user@mms"/> <parm name="NAME" value=""/> <parm name="LINGER" value="15"/> <parm name="RETRIEVE" value="0"/> <parm name="KEEPMAX" value="25"/> <parm name="DWNDAY" value="4294967295"/> <parm name="AUTHREQUIRED" value="0"/> </characteristic> </characteristic> </wap-provisioningdoc> 9. Now I go back to the device and repeat steps 2 to 5, but on the 3rd page of the "Options" dialog I select "Get full copy of messages". 10. I execute "rapiconfig /P /M query.xml" again and now get back: <wap-provisioningdoc> <characteristic type="EMAIL2"> <characteristic type="{751F77F6-920D-43e3-AFCB-7888B2666C63}"> <parm name="SERVICENAME" value="MMS"/> <parm name="SERVICETYPE" value="MMS"/> <parm name="INSERVER" value="mms"/> <parm name="AUTHNAME" value="user@mms"/> <parm name="DOMAIN" value=""/> <parm name="OUTSERVER" value="mms"/> <parm name="REPLYADDR" value="user@mms"/> <parm name="NAME" value=""/> <parm name="LINGER" value="15"/> <parm name="RETRIEVE" value="4294967295"/> <parm name="KEEPMAX" value="25"/> <parm name="DWNDAY" value="4294967295"/> <parm name="AUTHREQUIRED" value="0"/> </characteristic> </characteristic> </wap-provisioningdoc> 11. The only parameter that changed is the "RETRIEVE" parameter. The value 4294967295 should now set "Get full copy of messages". 12. I manually change back to "Get message headers only" on the device and send back above XML code, assuming to see a change to "Get full copy of messages". Rapiconfig reports "config succeeded", but I cannot see any changes! What do I wrong? Thanks for your help! Peter Tag: ANN: Review of PPC Help authoring tool on DEVBUZZ Tag: 88362

    - =?Utf-8?Q?Remote_Connection_Lost_=E2=80=93_Memory/?= Iâ??m using vb to develop a graphics intensive application for Pocket PC 2003. In a separate module, I have 6,000 lines of repetitive coding covering graphics declarations. Depending on the call made to the 6 similar functions in this module, approximately 30 polygons (sets of points) and 25 regions (â??Unionedâ?? rectangles) are stuffed in to globally declared variables for use in the main program. (mostly â??isVisibleâ?? hit testing for a graphical interface linked to a database) My problem is that Iâ??ve snuck up on what seems to be a memory limitation. If I increase very slightly, the number of variables declared, I get the following error as I hit F5 to debug: â??The remote connection to the device has been lost. Please verify the device connection and restart debugging.â?? If I slightly contract the number of declarations, the problem goes away, and all is fine. So, any thoughts on how to get past this? Iâ??m a newbie programmer, so you could be so kind, donâ??t assume too much in your responses. Thanks. Tag: ANN: Review of PPC Help authoring tool on DEVBUZZ Tag: 88359

    - Disabling frame context menu for HTMLControl I'm currently using the HTMLControl in a PocketPC 2002/2003 application and I'm having trouble loading pages that contain a frameset. Once I tell the HTML control to navigate to a page that defines a frameset it seems that the control adds support for a context menu that allows a user to navigate to a specific frame. I don't want this context menu to appear so I tried trapping the NM_CONTEXTMENU notification but I no longer seem to receive notification messages from the Webview window at all once a frameset page is loaded. I believe that what's happening is that the Webview window is spawning 1 new version of itself for every frame and the messages from those spawned windows go to their immediate parent (the previous Webview control) and no further up the chain. Is there a way for me to get access to these notifications or is there any way at all to disable the frame options context menu?

    - Send data to/from your PPC for free over cell phone Just wanted to add to a previous post.... Old post: \\ I have a "soft" modem (DLL) that can run in any PPC application process \\ space and uses the audio connector of the PPC. When any type of cell phone \\ with a head set jack is connected to the PPC's audio jack you can send and \\ receive data. It is slow but it can send and receive application data, say \\ GPS location info in about 2 seconds. It is pretty cool works over any cell \\ phone carrier's network without them knowing it. Of course you need the \\ same type of modem running on another PPC/cell phone or PC with a land line \\ to have something to talk to on the other end of this pipe. and to add, it is faster than SMS, it will also work cell phone to cell phone, or cell phone to land line phone, between a CDMA carrier and GSM carrier. The modem I am talking about is independant of the type of phone or carrier, it will work with any combination, you just need to have this modem on both ends of the phone call. Also their is a much larger network coverage for the voice call than the "data ready" coverage, and you can roam from one network to the next with out effecting the modem, it will still work with out having to restart the connection, because it is using the voice channel.

    - Sendmessage Hi all, I'm trying to control Media Player 10 Mobile from an external app. For now I'll be posting window messages in order to control the more basic features - play stop etc. However, I'm having trouble finding these messages using Remote Spy (I can't find any examples using the control - further I'm not sure it even can be used via .NETCF). I found a .NETCF class to control WMP9 written by Peter Foot which has calls to SendMessage preprepared. So for example to Shuffle, you call: Win32Window.SendMessage(hwnd, 32973, IntPtr.Zero, 0) // == 0x08CD Using Remote Spy and WMP9, I see the following when manually hitting shuffle (message, WPARAM, LPARAM): 08CD WIN_USER+205, 0, 0 and then 0111 WM_COMMAND, 9C59, 12CE10 Using Remote Spy and WMP10, I see: 0111 WM_COMMAND, 271C, 2D4AB0 Does this mean that there is no SendMessage equivalent for WMP10? Or can I deduce it from the above information? Or can I skip the WIN_USER+XXX message altogether and just send a WM_COMMAND with the correct WPARAMs and LPARAMs? Help please!

At several places I find links to a POOM SDK, but it seems to be dead lots of times. At other places people tell it is included in Visual Studio. But I can't manage to program anything... What do I have to install to be able to program in a way that I can manipulate tasks and contacts in Pocket Outlook? Is there anyone having experience in doing this? thanks for any advice, Kristof Tag: ANN: Review of PPC Help authoring tool on DEVBUZZ Tag: 88330

    - Which development tool? C# or C++? I am sure that this question has been asked a million times, but here it is again. I am getting back into PocketPC development after a one year hiatus. I have used many different tools and languages over the past 15 years so I am not concerned about learning a new language. I am debating on switching completely over to C# or sticking with C++. It is very easy to create programs using C# and I love the syntax, but the applications are slow. I have not seen any major applications written in .net and I can only imagine how a program such as Pocket Informant would run if it was written in .net! If using C++ is it better to use straight C++, or to use MFC? What framework and language are used in complicated applications? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tag: ANN: Review of PPC Help authoring tool on DEVBUZZ Tag: 88322

    - Problem while uploading dll file to PPC 2003 emulator Hello everyone... I have a problem while uploading the dll file on pocket pc 2003 emulator. I have built a Interface.dll under Win32(WCE ARMV4) Debug processor. Right now I want to test the dll by registering it on PPC 2003 emulator, thus i rebuilt the dll file under Win32(WCE emulator) Debug processor. It was built successfully. But when I try to export the Interface.dll to the PPC2003 emulator through Remote file viewer in EVC4, it say that "The specified resource name cannot be found in the image file. Do anyone has any idea of that and suggest me a way to solve it ?? I really thankful if someone can help me... p/s: It is no problem when i uploaded the Interface.dll in ARM version.

    - GetOpenFilename When using GetOpenFileName in Pocket PC 2003 SE VGA, it either fails or exits the program. The routine works fine on all other versions of Pocket PC. Does anybody have any ideas why? Regard, Colin Tag: ANN: Review of PPC Help authoring tool on DEVBUZZ Tag: 88316

    - TRACE doesn't show any ouput in eVC++ 3.0 x86 emulator Hello everyone, I'm working on my first Pocket PC application, which is incidentally my first realistic win32 application as well (go me!). Currently, I am using eVC++ 3.0 on an AppWizard-generated MFC application (SDI, shared new in case that matters). The problem is, my TRACE calls yield no output whatsoever and so far I am unable to pinpoint the source of the problem. The application is built using the "x86 Debug" configuration, it runs fine in the emulator, the Output window is on at the bottom of the eVC screen and yet no ouput. Is there anything else I should do? As far as I see, there is no tracer.exe for eVC++ to manage AFX settings. Is there something else I'm missing? Thanks in advance, -- Sasha Tag: ANN: Review of PPC Help authoring tool on DEVBUZZ Tag: 88314

    - Where to place application files Newbie. I need to check for the existence of an update file. I would normally put the file in the application's directory, but then (it seems) I have to hard code the location of the file since the CF doesn't include Application.StartupPath or Assembly.Location. If I simply put the file at the root, then I don't need to know anything but the file's name. I wouldn't think of doing that in a desktop application, but it almost seems like it doesn't much matter where files go on a PDA, or does it?

    - OS Mismatch error I built the debug exe for my Handheld PC and successfully downloaded the build after chaging the Platform manager setting to use TCP/IP as the transport. For some reason,selecting ActiveSync did not work. If I run the exe directly on the device, it runs fine. However If I run in the debugger, I get an error of OS mismatch. I am targeting Win32 CE ARM. I am sure that my device has ARM processor. Is the CEMGR the problem here? Thanks, -- Thanks, nec_query Tag: ANN: Review of PPC Help authoring tool on DEVBUZZ Tag: 88301

    - PocketPC platform hardware Hi. Any good sites and/or books about creating the hardware needed for building a complete PocketPC platform? I have been involved in embedded development for years on custom hardware and would like to evaluate if PocketPC/CE development is an alternative to traditional custom designed embedded systems.
