    - special chars in font? Hello, I'd like to use some special characters in a string, specifically, I'm sorting a datagrid and I'd like to put some kind of up/down arrow at the end of the column name to indicate the current sort. Ideally I'd use the solid arrows that are on the scroll bars, but I'm sure there are others. I dumped out the default character set and all I saw was a bunch of European special characters. I see that I can change the font to something like Symbol or Wingdings, but then I won't have regular text. What I'm looking for is a character set that has Latin in the lower half and wingdings in the upper half. Or possibly there is a solution in the world of "Unicode". Any suggestions anyone??? Thanks, Dave Tag: Some techy help please Tag: 108600

    - File locations Hello I would like to be able to access files relative from the executables location. At the moment, access will only work when the files are at the root of My Device. Whilst the PPC has no concept of current working directories, do you have to hardcode in full paths in order to access files from where you want, or is it possible to get some sort of current path for the executable and work out the location relative from that ?

    - Cannot create files in .NET compact Hello, I'm trying to develop a small application that saves some data in simple text files. At startup I test if the file exists, if not I create one, if it exists but is empty I put some dummy data in it. Here is the code: ----- // path = "/My Documents/test/test.txt" (directory test exists!) ... // create if not exists if(!File.Exists(path)) { File.Create(path); } // test if empty FileStream f = new FileStream(path); if(f.ReadByte() < 0) { retVal = false; } f.Close(); ... ----- Sometimes I get an IOException in the line "FileStream f = ......". Why??? Sometimes I don't get this exception but later in the program, when I try to read from the file (that should exist AND have some dummy data in it), I get an FileNotFoundException. And really -> there is no file! Why???? When I debug through the program, the file is often created - so it seems to me that it is a "timing"-problem. Does the OS have not enough time to create the file? Thanks for any Hints! Stephan Tag: Some techy help please Tag: 108570

    - LoadLibrary error 126L "The specified module could not be found" I'm trying to dynamically load a DLL in an MFC Pocket PC 2003 (ARMV4) application. The DLL is an MFC extension for Pocket PC 2003 (ARMV4). I'm using Visual Studio 2005 to write both the DLL and the app. But, LoadLibrary() fails and GetLastError() reports 126L:"The specified module could not be found."

    - MFC 8 dlls on the 6700 (sprint and Verizon) It looks like the HTC 6700 comes with some MFC8 dlls in the ROM. In particular msvcr80.dll This DLL appears to be some custom build of MFC. If I overwrite it with the dll that shipped with visual studio 2005 the image gallery app hangs. And, if I try to run my MFC app using this builtin dll my app fails. Does anyone has more info on this issue? I cannot statically link to MFC since I use an extention DLL. Also if you are wondering how I was able to overwrite a ROM file, the cab installer wceload.exe for some reason is able to write my dll on top of the builtin one.

    - Suggestions for debugging gwes.exe errors I'm trying to debug a GWES problem and would appreciate any tips you might have about debugging GWES related problems. When running my app, it occasionally causes an error in gwes.exe. If I turn off error reporting on the device, the problem seemingly goes away (no crashes or visible problems in my app). I had read in another post that by turning off error reporting in the System->Settings, it should show where the error is in my app. Since the error is intermittent and this app is quite complex (including hooks into various UI components, like the password.cpl and intercepts some keys to cause it to load instead of a built-in app), I'm hoping to find some way of determining the cause of the error more directly than iteratively removing functionality. So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Ed Tag: Some techy help please Tag: 108521

It seems that callback function "DrvCopyBits" is not execute correctly from device menager.

Of note, HBITMAP g_hBitmap; HBITMAP g_hBitmap2; LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND hwnd, UINT uimessage, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { case WM_CREATE: g_hBitmap = LoadBitmap(g_hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_BITMAP1)); g_hBitmap2 = LoadBitmap(g_hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_BITMAP2)); break; case WM_DRAWITEM: if ( wParam == GetDlgCtrlID(g_hSearchButton) ) { LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT lpdis; PAINTSTRUCT ps; HBITMAP hbmOld; HDC hDC; hDC = BeginPaint(g_hSearchButton, &ps); lpdis = (LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT) lParam; BITMAP bm; HDC hdcMem = CreateCompatibleDC(hDC); // HERE, TEST IF THE BUTTON IS SELECTED OR NOT if ( lpdis->itemState & ODS_SELECTED) { hbmOld = (HBITMAP) SelectObject(hdcMem, g_hBitmap2); GetObject(g_hBitmap2, sizeof(bm), &bm); } else { hbmOld = (HBITMAP) SelectObject(hdcMem, g_hBitmap); GetObject(g_hBitmap, sizeof(bm), &bm); } BitBlt(hDC, 0, 0, bm.bmWidth, bm.bmHeight, hdcMem, 0, 0, SRCCOPY); SelectObject(hdcMem, hbmOld); DeleteDC(hDC); EndPaint(hwnd, &ps); return 0; } break; } Thanks a million, OM Tag: Some techy help please Tag: 108453

    - i need help to configure the passthrough (to access internet from the WM5 emulator) i need help to configure the WM5 emulator for passthrough (i.e. to access internet from the emulator). what needs to be done? - since apparently it is not working by default. also, i need internet access while debugging, which means that the emulator device cannot be craddled (since deploying and debugging on the WM5 Smartphone emulator does not work when the emulator is craddled - not sure why). could anyone give me some pointer? thanks!

    - suggestions for improved MessageBox on Photon a suggestion for the MSFT Mobile shell team: it would be nice to provide an improved/extended version of MessageBox - let's call it MessageBoxEx - with at least the following feature: - two additionnal optional parameter to customise the soft-keys strings if those parameters are NULL, the default strings are used (i.e. same as the current MessageBox). if one or both of those parameters are not NULL, they are pointer to strings used for the left and right soft-keys, and overwrite the default. optionally it could be nice to specify command-id's to overwrite the defaults, but that's not necessary, since MessageBox is a modal dialog. this extension would allow using the same internal features as MessageBox (i.e. Alerts sound & icons, etc), while changing the soft-key text to something custom, more appropriate than the default limited set of choices such as Ok/Cancel , Yes/No etc. Choices such as Now/Later, "Cancel/I Agree" (e.g. for a licencing agreement), etc would be possible. what do you think? also, naturally, MessageBox needs to be fixed on Pocket PC, since it is seriously broken especially when Pocket PC's are used in Landscape orientation. in case you missed it, here is a recap of the problems: On Pocket PC WM5, soft-keys cannot be used to answer the question from a MessageBox (or to close it). On Pocket PC WM5 and 2003 Second Edition, when in Landscape orientation, MessageBox does not use the full width of the display, so you messages usually get truncated, and in some cases the buttons get truncated or totally hidden. The only workaround is to reduce the size of your messages, which may be a problem with localized applications. MsgBox can use the full width of the display in Landscape orientation, so you can see longer messages. This is especially useful in applications localized in other languages. On Pocket PC, MessageBox just truncates the text if it is too long to be entirely displayed (not the case on Smartphone). Sometimes, MessageBox even displays the buttons outside of the screen, making the dialog completely un-usable. MsgBox makes text scrollable if text is too long to be entirely displayed (like on Smartphone). This is very useful, especially on the new square-screen Pocket PC WM5 and 2003 Second Edition devices. A vertical scroll-bar or the UP/DOWN D-pad buttons can be used to scroll the text when it is scrollable. On Pocket PC WM5 and 2003 Second Edition, MessageBox does not handle the SIP correctly. For example, if the SIP is up, MessageBox sometimes display a dialog with the OK/Cancel buttons hidden under the SIP. This can be very confusing to average users, and it also violates MSFT's own guidelines for Logo-certified applications. MsgBox handles the SIP correctly, and it automatically lowers the SIP when it activates. Tag: Some techy help please Tag: 108446

Ho do I:

Ckeck if bluetooth is on?
Switch bluetooth on?
Check for gprs / 3g connection
Switch on and off gprs / 3g connection

What is the code to press a button. eg in delphi Button1.click executes the
code of button1.

Any FTP components
Any software to broadcast video from pocket PC.
Anyway to capture the video stream from a 3G call.(Imate JasJar)
Print graphics from smartphone

Is it possible to hardcode a bluetooth printer connection. ie if the printer
ic called printer1 and there is no need to enter a passkey can the setting
just be put in the registry. This would eliminate an end user having to pair
the devices

Any onfo / code samples or links appreciated

Cheers
