    - Connection problems with my PPC Hello everyone, I have a desktop utility that performs a task on my PPC, however it says it can not establish a connection with my PPC. However, ActiveSync is on, and synched up and green. Also, this happens sometimes when I try deploying a VS.Net app to my device too. It is intermittent, though, and I can not determine why or why not my application won't deploy. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can do to trouble shoot this issue? I really am in need of having my desktop app that connects to my PPC run. Thanks for the help in advance Tag: Serial port Tag: 96170

    - How to fetch a file's size from a server via HTTP and request headers? Our PPC (WinCE) MFC app is using CHHTPConnection and CHTTPFile to download a file via HTTP. The problem is that if the file is larger than the device's cache supports, MFC throws an error: Error: 12158: ERROR_INTERNET_UNABLE_TO_CACHE_FILE. Is there a way we can determine the file size of the file BEFORE we receive this error? Here is our current code. NOTE: dwFlags=0. We can NOT use INTERNET_FLAG_DONT_CACHE as a flag since WinCE does NOT allow this flag. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- file = connection->OpenRequest(1, strFile, NULL, 1, ppszAcceptTypes, NULL, dwFlags); file->AddRequestHeaders(""); file->SendRequest(); <============ This is where MFC throws the exception // Get file length & last modified date of file. file->QueryInfo( HTTP_QUERY_CONTENT_LENGTH, dwLen, NULL ); <==== this is where we would normally get the file size --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So my question is: What possible call(s) can we make to retrieve the file size of the file so as to avoid the ERROR_INTERNET_UNABLE_TO_CACHE_FILE error? Remember: 1) This is WinCE using eVC++ 3.0 2) We can NOT use the INTERNET_FLAG_DONT_CACHE or the INTERNET_FLAG_PRAGMA_NOCACHE flag. My guess would be that we need to formulate some sort of request header string, but I don't know what that would look like. Can anyone provide any guidance? Many thanks experts!

    - Pocket Outlook custom forms Is there any sample code available to help me understand how to implement a custom form for Pocket Outlook? I have implemented IFormProviderEx, and put in code for CreateComposeForm and implemented an IMessageFormEx and appropriate window. I've got to the stage of getting my form type on the New menu in Pocket outlook, and for a blank window to appear when its selected (proving my custom form is being called properly). But the documentation is pretty scant for this stuff and doesn't really give me much of a clue as to how I should proceed. What would be really good is some sample code that creates an email using a custom form. Is there any? Cheers, Damian Wilson Tag: Serial port Tag: 96152

    - CeAppManager and Uninstall key I'm bewildered by the documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wcesetup/html/_wcesdk_Creating_an_ini_File_for_the_Application_Manager.asp This states that "the name must match the application's registered Windows Uninstall key name, which is found in the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall registry key". Now there is of course no such thing as **the** HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall registry key, because we are talking about two different Registries here - one on the desktop computer and one on the handheld. Can anyone un-bewilder me? I'm inclining towards the idea that this refers to the desktop registry but I'm not absolutely sure, and without an explicit description of what program uses this value, when, and what for, it's hard to be sure. To clarify: I'm looking at a model where people download a setup program which unpacks the .cab and .ini files into a temporary directory, runs CeAppManager, and deletes the temporary files that it created. In this scenario, therefore, I suppose that there will be nothing permanent on the desktop PC and so the value of the Uninstall key won't be relevant. Am I right? An alternative would be for the downloaded setup program to unpack the .cab and .ini files and store them somewhere permanent, to allow for multiple installations etc. In that case I *imagine* that I should provide an uninstaller program for the .cab/.ini combination just as I would for anything else that I installed in Windows. Is this correct? The result would be that the .cab/.ini combination would appear in the desktop's Settings > Add/Remove Programs list, just like any other installed program. Is this correct also?

    - ActiveSync synchronization Hi, Hope I'm asking this in the right group. I've an application running on a ppc which collects som input data and save's this in a file. On the pc an app is running which must be sync'd with the collected data. When I connect the ppc ActiveSync detect the connection. What I wanna do is that when the ppc is connected my app detects this and copies the file with the collected data from the ppc. Deletes the file on the ppc. And puts a new file on the ppc. Could anyone point me to some information (example) on how to do this. Thanks, Gene. Tag: Serial port Tag: 96138

I have found a company at www.resco.net which appears to sell just the kind of thing I need. I'm very tempted, but before diving in I wondered if anybody had comments about experiences with the components and the company. So far, my experience has been excellent, but I only discovered them a couple of days ago. Can anybody recommend other vendors of these kinds of components for me to evaulate?

    - Flickering with GAPI+3D Hi, I have tried Klimt and TinyGL packages for the PocketPC to draw on a "new short[320*240]" buffer. On the PC, where I use that memory as a bitmapm it works great. On the PPC however, the 3D part is flickering, every 3rd to 10th rendered frame is black. On both engines. So... any idea what might cause such trouble? With Klimt only the 3D is flickering, with TinyGL even my 2D drawing (Prints FPS afterwards) stuff blinks. Any idea how to trace this down? I don't have eVC, I use a GCC.

    - Disabling notification bubbles Hi all, I am desperately looking for a way to temporarily disable those annoying notification bubbles. The most straightforward approach I could come up with was blocking WM_USER_PACKET_NEW messages to the process managing notifications. Unfortunately Windows CE does not seem to support message hooks. Another approach would be to try and pause the process managing notifications. No idea how this can be accomplished, though. Maybe killing and later restarting it might be an option, if I knew how. What seems to work is using SendMessage to broadcast a WM_LBUTTONDOWN with yPos=0xFFFF to all windows, thus dismissing all popup-bubbles. This, however, doesn't work for the "Incoming Call" Bubble which keeps popping up again. I also tried sending DestroyWnd, changing the z-index, resizing the bubble to 0-width - all in vain. Do you have any suggestions? Kind regards, Wolf Tag: Serial port Tag: 96124

    - Downloading CAB files with Pocket Internet Explorer OK, the app is ported and tested on the target device. The MS documentation says: "For example, an end user can use Pocket Internet Explorer on a Windows CE-based device to download the appropriate .cab file and run the file on the device to install the application", but when I upload the .CAB and try downloading it through Pocket Internet Explorer, it treats it as a text file and attempts to display it instead of saving it. Should I be doing something different in PIE, or does something need reconfiguring on my web server (Apache)? IE 6.0 correctly offers to download the file. Tag: Serial port Tag: 96095

    - Keeping track of activation and power-off? I'm porting a diary-type application to Pocket PC, and one of the requirements is that if, on Wednesday you are displaying information for Wednesday, and you then go away from the application and come back to it on Thursday, you should see information for Thursday and not Wednesday. This implies that: 1. As long as you are actively in the diary app, the date it displays information for should not change automatically. 2. If you switch from the diary app to a different application and come back to the diary app the next day, the date should change automatically [*if* the diary app was displaying information for today at the time you switched]. 3. If you switch off your Pocket PC while it's in the diary app and then switch it on the next day, the date should change automatically. [1] is easy. [2] is easy if the diary app is actually terminated when it's switched away from... but of course that normally won't be the case. If it's smart-minimized by the user tapping "X", I'm not sure how to detect this. WM_ACTIVATE doesn't do it, according to the documentation, since it gets sent when [for example] you open a dialog box within the application. On the other hand, actual debugging on the x86 platform shows that wParam=lParam=0 when the user taps "X" and not when a dialog box opens. Can this distinction be relied on or is there a different way of detecting smart-minimization? [3] is tricky but for different reasons, because the application remains "active" even when the power is off. I've read about notifications but it appears that handling the power-on notification involves actually running my app every time the power is turned on... which is a bit of a waste if the user isn't, in fact, using it. Any suggestions would be very welcome. Tag: Serial port Tag: 96075

    - How to solve TCP connection issue to debug on a PocketPC Hi, I'm currently developping a Windows application for PocketPC with Visual Studio 2003. Since our HHP 9500 Dolphin PocketPC has no USB cradle, we cannot use ActiveSync (else it conflicts with the utility tool in charge of the connection to the Ethernet base) To debug via TCP/IP, we tried (and succeeded) to change Tools / periph TCP transport configuration, replacing the option "IP adress provided by ActiveSync" by the option "static IP address", this IP address set to the IP of the slot receiving the PocketPC. Few days ago, debug worked fine using this settings. However, I have not been able to reproduce that way of debugging today... Visual Studio attempts to establish a connection but fails with a message "Unable to establish the connection. Check ..." I think that PocketPC <=> computer connection is actually good, since ping work in both directions, and I can use a tool which replicates the screen of the PocketPC on the screen of the computer (this tool is setup to use TCP transport, and not ActiveSync) Could you tell me some advice on the possible causes of that issue, and the way to solve the problem ?

And I'd also like to be able to set a date and time in the future that the user will be no longer be able to access the application. So if the current date is less than the length of the lease expiration date, then the user will have full access to the application. However if the current date is equal to or greater than the lease expiration date, the user will be prompted to enter the password and a new expiration date before they gain access. Also I'd like this to run during powering on, soft resets, hard resets, and any other way that the user might gain unauthorized access.

Instead if I try to connect a PTSN modem to the same GSM modem it show me that a data connection is in progress!! Why? What Should I do? Tag: Serial port Tag: 96036

    - How do I convert a base64 encoded bytearray to a string Hi! (This question has been posted on the ADO.Net section as well) I have a webservice which queries a table in SQLServer. The table has a column, "Text", which is of datatype "image". When invoking the webmethod it returns dataset with the table included. The column is returned as a base64binary as can be seen in the declaration excerpt below: <xs:element name="text" type="xs:base64Binary" minOccurs="0" /> When I call the webservice and loops through the rows I see that the column "text" is represented as a bytearray as well. What I'd like to do is to convert this bytearray into an "ordinary" string. Please note that it must work in a .Net Compact Framework environment. I've tried a number of approaches but none has worked so I feel a little bit "lost in binary space". Hope you can help me! /Peter Tag: Serial port Tag: 96035

    - Language Support required... Hi all, I am reading Arabic Language text from a file and displaying in a text box. But text file is showing some other characters instead of Arabic text. So how can I embed Arabic Language support into my application/pocket pc? Arif. Tag: Serial port Tag: 96034

Hello,

I have a Win32 application (made with Delphi) that send datas to some
machines via Serial port (RS232).
I don't have a Pocket PC and I would like to have something similar with
PocketPC.
so 2 questions :
- it is possible to use a Serial Port with a PocketPC?
- is there any library of component that make it possible to program this?

thanks

John

You can use standard Win32 API as you know on PC. For opening serial port use
CreateFile() and then WriteFile()/ReadFile()

As development tool you can use Embedded Visual C++ 3/4 or Visual Studio
.NET 2003.

Thanks Bostjan for your help.
Is there an optional tools (hardware) to be able to be connected with RS232?

Depends on what Pocket PC hardware you have - most of these that I've used
have a serial port already in the sync port, all you need is the correct
cable.
