Using An ActiveX Control
I'm a newbie to the Pocket PC and I'm having a problem
that I haven't been able to figure out.
I've created a simple test app using eVB that utilizes a
third-party ActiveX control. From researching on the
Internet I understand that I need to create an
installation package and I was able to figured out how to
create the CABs, however, I have not been able to figure
out how to actually install the application on the
emulator.
I have searched the Internet and the only stuff I can find
that seems to be relevant indicates that you use the
Application Manager (a.k.a. CEAppMgr.exe) but I do not
have this file on my PC nor is it on the emulator and I
can't find a download for it from Microsoft.
I'm hoping someone can provide me with assistance in
getting the application installed.
Thanks! Tag: Socket Tools for the Pocket PC Tag: 69435
Camera API

Where is the Model ID stored?
I was sent a beta copy of PPC2003 from HP which I've installed on my H3870,
and today I've been sent the final release. However the installation checks
the model number of the device with the ROM image, unfortunately it appears
that the beta version didn't include this or blanked the relevant fields.
Now when I try to apply the Update the reported Model ID is '"" and needs to
be iPAQ 3800 and the update fails. I've sent HP an email, but is there a way
to manually add this information, maybe in the registry?

Problem of deploying compact framework to device
Inside VS.NET 2003, I have no problem debuging and
executing programs in PC2002 and PC2003 emulators but I
have no success deploying the framework and program to the
device, which is Toshiba e755 PocketPC with Intel AX255
CPU.
I always get the error when I try to deploy the compiled
program to the device:
"There were deployment errors, continue?"
I have ActiveSync 3.7.1 (installed after VS.NET and
perfectly working.)
I even downloaded the Windows CE Utilities for Visual
Studio .NET 2003 and configure CPU in the add-in to be
ARMV4.
However I am very confused by the README in the download
that states a lot of stuffs like copying ToolHelp.dll,
WCELoad.exe etc.
My questions are :-
1. What am I missing basically to have the failur of
debugging ?
2. Do I need to register WinCEx86Device.reg on the host
computer if I am using a ARMSV4 CPU instruction set ?
P.S.
I have no problem when using eVC++ 4.0.
That means my installation of the PC2003 SDK should be
correct.
Thanks for any insight.

Compact Framework to win32 Today Screen component
Hi All,
Does anyone know if it is possible for a .NET CF application to
communicate with a today screen plugin written in C++/win32? Since it is
not currently possible to write a Compact Framework application for the
Today Screen I was trying to think of a work-around. One thought was to
create an empty shell of a today plugin that would accept data from a
.NET CF application (via interop) for display. Before I even go down
this route. Is it even possible? Thanks!

Processor Clock Speed.
Hi everyone,
Do Windows CE devices (in particular the EG-800 MIPS 4122 PocketPC) ramp the
processor clock speed up and down depending on the current processor load? I
imagine they might do this to conserve battery power.
If that is the case, is it possible to control the ramping and force the
device to the maximum frequency?
I am finding that I get spurious performance results depending on how loaded
the processor is prior to executing a particular task. The application is a
custom C++ application originally using ADOCE to SQLServer2.0 now using
OLEDB. The performance degradation does not seem to be database specific and
generally occurs in all areas of code for a particular task.
An example of this scenario is: -
I need to perform tasks A, B, C, D and E. If I perform them in
succession task C takes 20 seconds. If I just perform task C it takes a
whopping 80 seconds.
Thanks in advance.

DeviceToDesktop overflow error 6
I have a VB6 app that transfers files from the PocketPC to the desktop
using the DeviceToDesktop api call:
Declare Function DEVICETODESKTOP Lib "adofiltr.dll" _
(ByVal desktoplocn As String, _
ByVal tablelist As String, _
ByVal sync As Boolean, _
ByVal overwrite As Integer, _
ByVal devicelocn As String) As Long
I get a vb error 6 (overflow) when it hits this line:
lngRetVal = DEVICETODESKTOP(strDeskPath, "", False, True,
strDevPath)
This code has worked in the past but is now failing consistently on
multiple user PCs. It still works on the developer PC.
I can reproduce this error by changing strDevPath to a bogus
file-name, so it makes me think that for whatever reason, when the
code runs on the user PC, it can't find the specified file on the
device, even though I have otherwise verified that it exists.
Anyone have any ideas?

I would be gratefull if you provide me information for solving this
shortcoming, either by emulating in evb, some other emulator (preferably

link problems when using throw under PocketPC 2003 SDK
I've run into quite strange problem:
when using new (heavily advertised) try-catch feature of WinCE4.2/eVC++4,
it compiles and works w/o any problems, but only under STANDARDSDK.
When switching to PocketPC 2003 SDK or Smartphone 2003 SDK, it leads to
the
following linker error:
main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "const
type_info::`vftable'" (??_7type_info@@6B@)
evC++4, SP2, /GX enabled, /GR does not make any difference.
It seems to me that I've managed to nail down minimal
code fragment that causes problems:
try
{
throw 0;
}
catch(...)
{
}
When commenting out throw 0 - everything links Ok, when there is
at least one throw in the file - it doesn't link under PocketPC
2003/Smartphone 2003 SDKs - under STANDARDSDK it's still Ok.
If anybody can try it and check whether the problem exists in
some specific configurations - will be greatly appreciated (I even
got it when added a fragment above to wizard-generated "hello, world"
app). Tag: Socket Tools for the Pocket PC Tag: 69295

How do I install an application?
Hello,
This is my first foray into Pocket PC application
development and I'm having a problem that
I haven't been able to figure out.
I've created a very simple test app using eVB and was able
to figure out how to create the
CAB files. I even figured out how to export the CABs to
the emulator (I have an actual device but I'm currently
just trying to use the Pocket PC 2002 Emulation for
testing), however, I have not been able to figure out how
to actually install the application on the emulator.
I have searched the Internet and the only stuff I can find
that seems to be relevant indicates that you use the
Application Manager (a.k.a. CEAppMgr.exe) but I do not
have this file on my PC nor is it on the emulator or the
device and I can't find a download for it from Microsoft.
I've also seen references to a Control Panel in Settings
with an Add/Remove Applications option but the only thing
I can find is the Remove Programs option in Settings.
There is no Control Panel nor is there an Add/Remove
option that I can find in either the emulator or the
device.
Can someone please teach me the "secret handshake"
required to install applications on a Pocket PC device?
