    - Precision problem with eVC++ 4.0 Hi, I am having a problem with the CString's Format & the wsprintf command in eVC++ v4.0 when displaying "double" values. I have some "double" values in my database and need to display them to as many decimal places as possible. Some of the values have values of 10 or more decimal places, and .Net can successfully write & read them to my "SQL Server Mobile" database to this precision. The problem is, in eVC++, if I use the %f parameter, it doesn't display enough decimal places (it typically rounds them up/down to just 4 or 5 decimal places). However, if I ask Format/wsprintf to display the values to a large number of decimal places, then it "corrupts" many the values adding .00000000001 to their value. For example: CString str1, str2; double doubleValue = 1.28533; str1.Format(_T("%f"), doubleValue ); str2.Format(_T("%.19f"), doubleValue ); Output: str1 = "1.285330" str2 = "1.2853300000000001000" I do appreciate that floats can't store decimal values exactly (1/3 being the typical example) but I find it strange that my .Net CF app can read & write the values successfully, without adding any 0's at the end (like str1 above) or adding or subtracting a tiny discrepency to their values, but eVC++ fails miserably. The irony is that if I use Microsoft's Query Analyzer to view the values in my table, it displays them perfectly. That "1.28533" value does appear in Query Analyzer as "1.28533", and all other figures appear fine, albeit rounded to about 8 decimal places. Any suggestions...?

    - Only digits in text box Hi, I want to create edit field that accepts only digits. I added ES_NUMBER style during creation. The problem exists concerning Fn key on some HTC and Symbol devices. So you can't enter digits without pressing Fn key. If you don't press Fn you hear beep and nothing is put in the edit field. I tried enabling InputMode functionality it for PPC but it doesn't work. I tried to test using ImmEscape functions to set Number InputMode, but again that work fine with SmartPhone but failed in case of PPC. The another way to do this would be char mapping but again that will be different for different device ( e.g on LW "E" maps to "1" and on Wizard "Q" maps to "1"), then this we have to maintain on device.ini. I want to put only digits into edit field without pressing Fn key. Windows Mobile 5/6, VisualStudio 2005 Thanks for help!!! Tag: ShowDialog appears to be non-modal Tag: 127315

    - Deployment Question Here's what I got: I have a User Control that is in its own .dll that optional uses another control that is in another .dll. The problem that I have is when I run my Sample code, I get an error about the control in the 2nd .dll cannot be found. I looked on the device, the .dll is not deployed. How do I get the 2nd .dll to be deployed with the other .dll? I am using VS2005. The User Control references the other control by project references. Everything builds and installs, but the 2nd .dll is not deployed when running the sample code. I know its on the machine, because it shows in the designer. I just need to tell the deployment to a device to always include this 2nd .dll. Thank you in advance for your help! Tag: ShowDialog appears to be non-modal Tag: 127294

    - Pocket PC w/ SQL Server 2000 and 2005 Using Visual Studio 2005 Professional: We have two versions of SQL Server running on one machine: SQL Server 2000 Enterprise (Sql2000) and SQL Server 2005 Express. We need to connect the Pocket PC (PPC) to Sql2000. The PCs can connect, but not the Pocket PCs. The Pocket PCs can ping Sql2000, but when our code tries to open an Sql Connection, we get the following SqlException Error Message: "SQL Server does not exist or access denied." Since we can ping, we know the server exists and can be seen from the PPC. We have tried multiple versions of the connection string, but this does not seem to be the problem. Our System Admin assures me that the server is not running a firewall, so what else would prevent the PPC from being able to connect to Sql2000? The PPC does not have a login ID/PWD, so I say we should *not* be using Integrated Security. Sql2000 uses port 1433, and it is setup to accept both SQL Server and Windows Authentication. We have tried different User ID/Password combinations; some have Administrator access, while others only have access to the tables we need to read. Here are the different connection strings we have tried: "Data Source=CPAPP;Initial Catalog=AIO;Integrated Security=True;User ID=public;Password=public" "Data Source=172.16.8.105,1433;Initial Catalog=AIO;Integrated Security=True;User ID=AIO\public;Password=public" "Data Source=172.16.8.105,1433;Initial Catalog=AIO;Integrated Security=True;User ID=AIO\vti;Password=vti" "Data Source=CPAPP;Initial Catalog=AIO;Integrated Security=False;User ID=aio\vti;Password=vti" "Data Source=CPAPP;Initial Catalog=AIO;Integrated Security=False;User ID=public;Password=public" "Data Source=CPAPP;Initial Catalog=AIO;User ID=test;Password=test;" "Data Source=CPAPP;Initial Catalog=AIO;User ID=public;Password=public" "Data Source=CPAPP;Initial Catalog=AIO;Integrated Security=True;User ID=public;Password=public" Does anybody have any information on this?

Sometimes the GPS receiver seems to go nuts: it keeps sending NMEA data (including 10-12 visible sattelites), but it is unable to find a location.

    - How to implement dual initiation? I need to require two simultaneous actions to trigger an event on a Windows Mobile 5 device. I want the user to have to press a trigger button while a hardware button is being held down. So the user would press and hold a "ARM" hardware button down, then click a "FIRE" button to fire the device. The "ARM" button would enable the "FIRE" button as long as it was held down. If the "ARM" button is released, the "FIRE" button would be disabled and have no effect. An alternative would be to leave the "FIRE" button enabled, but on click it would check the state of the "ARM" button and would fire if the "ARM" button was being held down. Otherwise it would display a message to the user instead of firing. I'm hoping there's a simple solution, but I'm new to Mobile devices and the solution isn't obvious to be. I think in a PC app I would just set a Boolean on buttondown and clear it on buttonup, but that option doesn't seem availalbe on Mobile devices. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Some of the latest nifty solutions I have seen lately have little applications that use the built-in Camera (in what appears to be in video mode, not still camera mode) to scan a 2D barcode, which makes a chime sound then passes a user to a web site on the PPC (the web site being encoded in the 2D Barcode). I would love to pretty much do the exact same thing except capture the image (save the barcode), display the decoded text (and write it to a text file with a time stamp) and trigger audio recording. Basically using the device for capturing a tonn of barcodes while recording audio. Does anyone know where a good place to start for this would be for Visual Studio 2008? .NET (C# or VB.NET) development is my forte. Are there any hardware considerations I have to keep mindful off? I will need several PocketPC's running this and have to collect the stored data at the end of the day. ANY suggestions or directions would be greatly appreciated!

    - Pocket PC can't connect to SQL 2000 Server I am having difficulty connecting my Pocket PC to our SQL Server 2000 database. The application worked great, until they decided to move the database to this newer server. Here is my connection string: Public sqlConn As New SqlConnection("Data Source=SQLSERVER;Initial Catalog=Company_Records;Integrated Security=SSIP;User ID=public;Password=public") I connect to the SQL 2000 Server using this code: Dim SqlDataAdapter da = New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM EmployeeTable", sqlConn) DataTable dt = New DataTable Try da.Fill(dt) Catch ex As Exception Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString()) End Try The output to the console is: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: SqlException at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError() at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError() at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning() at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.Connect() at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OpenAndLogin() at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection..ctor() at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.Open() at System.Data.Common.DbDataAdapter.QuietOpen() at System.Data.Common.DbDataAdapter.FillInternal() at System.Data.Common.DbDataAdapter.Fill() at System.Data.Common.DbDataAdapter.Fill() at CompanyApp.frmMain.btnOK_Clicked() at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnKeyDown() at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WnProc() at System.Windows.Forms.Control._InternalWnProc() at Microsoft.AGL.Forms.EVL.EnterModalDialog() at System.Windows.Forms.Form.ShowDialog() at CompanyApp.modStart.Main() Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

    - .net CF Combobox size Hello I want to change the height of a combobox in .NET CF. if I choose Font size of 7, the height of the combobox is decreasing a bit, but there is still free space in the combobox where the test will never be. Unfortunately CF (I'm using 3.5) doesnt support DrawItem like in Full Framework. Is there a possibility to force the height to a given value or an easy example to create an own combobox?

    - DirectShow: IAMCameraControl Hi, I'm developing camera capture application for WM 5.0/6.0 using direct show. I have to implement zoom in/out feature so I've tried to use IAMCameraControl interface. Here is the snippet: long flags = 0; long zoom_value = 0; CComPtr<IAMCameraControl> pCameraControl; m_pVideoCaptureFilter->QueryInterface(IID_IAMCameraControl, (void**)&pCameraControl); CHK(pCameraControl->Get(CameraControl_Zoom, &zoom_value, &flags)); Logger::LogDebug("current zoom = %d\n", zoom_value); if ((zoom_value + 50) <= 600) { zoom_value = zoom_value + 50; CHK(pCameraControl->Set(CameraControl_Zoom, zoom_value, CameraControl_Flags_Manual)); } Device (samsung SGH i 600) has the following zoom range: min = 0 max = 600 default = 10 step = 10 Code works without any exceptions and errors but it has no effect. I enumerated all possible combinations of flags and values, stopped graph before setting new value etc.... but with no luck.. Also tried on another device Qtek 8310 (it has only 2 possible zoom value) but the same result as for samsung. Could someone point me to right solution/code example or possibly remove mistakes from my code :) AFAIK there are some posts from ppl which faced with same problem but I didnt see any useful reply. Many Thanks Leonid Tag: ShowDialog appears to be non-modal Tag: 127181

    - Newbie Questions: Device Lock, Date Time Sync Hi Scenario: Company I'm working for currently has PALM devices running software developed in Satellite forms. Management are looking to very quickly roll out Pocket PC devices (due to shortages of PALM devices) running the existing software with a view to later re-writing/replacing the application. I have Sat Forms running on the device and have modified the current sync routines in the desktop application. What I need to do now is: 1. Lock the devices so that the users will only be able to run the Sat Forms application and use the phone. 2. Lock the phone so that only specifed numbers can be dialled. 3. Ensure that the date and time on the device are set to that on the PC when the devices are synched. The current plan is *not* to have them set as partners but I don't think a guest sync updates the date/time. BTW New devices are WM5. Any thoughts on how best to do this? Thanks Paul Tag: ShowDialog appears to be non-modal Tag: 127176

    - Do we *need to* dynamically link gx.dll? Hi again, I made a note a while ago about a potential bug that would occur if my app installed to a device that didn't have gx.dll in the \Windows directory. The recommendation seemed to be that if I'm using the GAPI (which I am) that I should include gx.dll with my distribution and store it in the same folder as my application. (See the end of this post for reference info). So, my question is, if gx.dll isn't included on the device in \Windows, does my app need to manually handle that case and dynamically load gx.dll, or does the O/S automatically do something like: 1) Load app and sees that it requires gx.dll 2) Checks \Windows folder for gx.dll 3) If gx.dll isn't found in \Windows, check application's folder for gx.dll 4) If found, load the gx.dll found within the application folder Or am I just supposed to always statically/dynamically link to my own copy of gx.dll and assume that it won't be in the Windows directory? The above makes sense to me, but I'm not sure if that's what happens, since it seems a little hand-wavy. I tried to delete gx.dll from the emulator to test this out but WM wouldn't have it. Here's one of the quotes I wrote down. I have two others, but I didn't save their links for some reason: "On PocketPCs and Smartphones, a specific library called "gx.dll" needs to be placed in the \Windows folder or the application folder of your program. Newer devices have this DLL built in, but some older devices does not. If the file gx.dll is not available CGapiDisplay::OpenDisplay will return GDERR_NOGAPI. The file gx.dll is included in the GapiDraw SDK in the "misc" folder. It is recommended that you always ship gx.dll with your application." Reference: http://www.develant.com/docs/gapidraw/36/gapidisplay-main.htm Would anyone happen to know what goes on behind the scenes (or at least what Microsoft expects us to do) in the case of a missing gx.dll?

    - How to determine if emulator has been hard reset? Hi, This is a repeat of a question from a few years ago: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer/browse_thread/thread/2d462b038232464a/9728cd09efb4294f?lnk=gst&q=reset The answer there was to check HKLM\Comm for the BootCount value. There is no such value in anywhere in the WM6 registry. The only keys in the registry with "boot", "count", or "reset" anywhere in their names are: \System\Shell\Booted \init\BootVars \Comm\Security\LASSD\AuthReset None of these keys contains any subkeys or values relevant to the number of times the unit has been rebooted. So how can I verify that the emulator has performed a hard boot? thanks! Tag: ShowDialog appears to be non-modal Tag: 127165

    - Hiding menu CDialog Hello, Is there a way to hide the menu bar at the bottom of the screen in dialog box? I created a MFC dialog box application and put the following code in the OnInitDialog function: -- code snippet begin -- SHMENUBARINFO mbi; ZeroMemory(&mbi, sizeof(SHMENUBARINFO)); mbi.cbSize = sizeof(SHMENUBARINFO); mbi.hwndParent = GetSafeHwnd(); mbi.dwFlags = SHCMBF_HIDDEN; // also tried using the SHCMBF_HIDESIPBUTTON flag with the HIDDEN flag SHCreateMenuBar(&mbi); -- code snippet end -- That didn't seem to work. It works when I created a Windows application and put the code in response to the WM_CREATE message. The other thing that would work for me is if I can draw over that menu bar area. Thank you in advance for your help. ---- mark Tag: ShowDialog appears to be non-modal Tag: 127158

    - SIP menu disable menu item. Hello EB, I'm trying to disable the "Options..." menu item in the SIP's menu that pops up on the Pocket PC, for both - Pocket PC 2003 and WM5.0. I'm unable to get the handle to the menu for the SIP's menu. WM_COMMAND messages aren't fired on the click event which occurs when I select the "Options..." menu item. What I've done is: //Get the handle to the SIP's window. hSIP = FindWindow(TEXT("MS_SIPBUTTON"), TEXT("MS_SIPBUTTON")) ; // Get the menu associated with this window. hMenu = (HMENU) SendMessage(hSIP, SHCMBM_GETMENU, 0, 0); // Get the sub-menu for the SIP button's menu. hSubMenu = GetSubMenu(hMenu, 0); // Tried other position values too. NULL ref. returned. I also tried obtaining the system menu - using the GetSystemMenu(...) API, but I don't get any sub-menu on the menu handle that I receive on this call. Where am I going wrong? How can I disable "Options..." for good? Any help in this regard will be appreciated. Thank you. Warm regards, Amit. Tag: ShowDialog appears to be non-modal Tag: 127157

    - Configure networks programatically Sometimes my devices lose their network configuration (I mean the menu in Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select networks). The one I set sometimes changes to another for unknown reasons.... I tried to delete the other ones but to my surprise that's not possible, once you have created a connection there, there isn't any option to delete it... Can this be set from a program? If so I would just set the correct one each time my programs start. Thanks. Tag: ShowDialog appears to be non-modal Tag: 127155

I have the following code to show a password dialog in a WM 5
.Net CF application:

try
If frmPassword.ShowDialog() =
Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
...
An exception is not thrown but the form is not displayed and the next lines
are executed. I had presumed that the form had an error but cannot display
and form. This code is in a menu event handler. Any help for why the form
is not displayed modally?
