    - Using datetimepicker Hello All I am sure this question will show my ignorance of the C# and compact framework but, I am having difficulty creating a datetimepicker for use on a PocketPC device. I have downloaded and ran the source code located on the Microsoft Site. The datepicker works fine but the issue comes in building the time entry fields. I am trying to create spinners for the time like those in on the clock setting screen. So far this has been beyond me. Any help would be greatly appreceiated. thanks in advance James Allen allenj@kci1.com Tag: %SystemRoot% on PocketPC? Tag: 77797

    - PPC MSMQ Help! I've written a desktop apllication and compact framework application in .NET. The app on the pocket PC can send and receive messages on a private message queue. It can also send messages to a private queue on my pc. However when I use my desktop app to send messages to the queue on the pocket pc, MSMQ cannot establish a connection to send. Why do I only have a one way flow? could activesync be blocking it (I'm connecting through a USB cable)? I cannot ping my pocket pc even after trying to allocate it a static ip address. I'm using third party COM components to call MSMQ and get cominterop working on the PPC. (CFCOM and Ken Rabold's MSMQCom.dll) Tag: %SystemRoot% on PocketPC? Tag: 77794

    - Toolbar woes I am creating a wizard like feature using child windows (dialogs), based on the this article http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/wizarddlg.html. The feature works great, but I cannot get the toolbar to display on the parent dialog. If I do NOT add any child windows, then the toolbar on the parent is visible and operational. If I add at least one child window, then the toolbar disappears. How can I configure the parent window to keep the single toolbar visible when child windows are displayed?

    - RAS Phone Book Entries After Cold Reboot Hello, i have a problem with restoring PhoneBook Entry after cold reboot. As many pocket pc devices are in question, i have to make one solution to fit them all. 1. As i have posibility to run .CAB files after reboot, i've made CAB's .inf file which adds neccesery entries to registry (HKCU\Comm\RasBook) Problem: password is encrypted and doesnt work on other devices Solution?: convince pocket pc to accept/store non-encrypted passwords, anyone can give me a hint? or, convince RAS dialIn (winXP) not to request password? i didn't succed 2. .cpf files known also as CAB provisioning format. i haven't had much luck with this one either. using xml config file and rapiconfig.exe thing works. i've renamed it to _setup.xml and makecab it. after running .cpf on pocket pc, entries weren't added. 3. using API calls RasSetEntryProperties RasGetEntryProperties, these two don't store username and password, RasDial uses them. I vote for the first option, with the way to store passwords in not encrypted format. Any help would be appreciated. Maxxel Tag: %SystemRoot% on PocketPC? Tag: 77792

For specific reason, the log file will be kept open at all time and should not be allowed to copy, delete or rename.

    - Installing emulator in VS.NET 2003 Hi! I'm trying to get the emulator for PocketPC 2002 to work with VS.NET 2003 on a Windows XP SP1 machine but when I choose "Connect to device" from the IDE, the computer freezes instead of installing. If I reboot the machine, I get the "Found New Hardware Wizard" which also hangs the machine if I let it try to install the "Virtual PC Application Services". I've tried the following: * Removed VS.NET 2002, VS.NET 2003 and ActiveSync and rebooted * Installed ActiveSync 3.7.1 * Installed VS.NET 2003 * Disabled Windows XP Prefetch and cleared the prefetch directory * Installed the .NET Framework v1.1 Device Update 4 * Cleared the VPCAppSv registry key under the Services key. Strangely enough, it works on a Windows 2000 SP4 machine which doesn't even have ActiveSync installed. Could someone please give me a hint on what to do? TIA Jonas Tag: %SystemRoot% on PocketPC?

    - Flashing ROM Is it possible to take all the extra garbage software that comes with pocket pc off the rom? We are using HHP 9550's in our warehouses and only want them to use one application. With our old symbol SPT 1800's, I had a handy utility that I could create a rom image with only the applications I wanted and then put it on each device. With the HHP's, I want to lock it down so they can only access one application. I tried some cloning software, but after a cold reset, all my settings were lost. I want to set it up and have it stay that way no matter if the device is warm reset or cold reset. I don't want to purchase another flash storage card for each device. I just want to set it up once and not have to worry about it Thanks Tag: %SystemRoot% on PocketPC? Tag: 77743

    - Developer warning: file handles can become un-usable after power OFF/ON On WM2003 (and WM2003-SE), when you open a file located on a storage card, the file handle become un-usable after power OFF/ON (i.e. power suspend/resume). This problem is described here in more details: http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=27614 If you app opens files on a storage card (or in the application home folder, which can be located on the Storage Card), you should be aware of this issue, and implement the necessary workarounds, if needed. If you don't, you application can mis-behave after the user presses the Power button, or it can cause data corruption. This issue affects some (maybe all) Pocket PC 2003, including the Toshiba e800 series. I believe that this problem also affects Smartphone 2003 devices, although not all Smartphones are capable of suspending (The Samsung i600 does suspend when closed, if no earphone jacked is used).

    - TerminateProcess broken on WM2003 ? TerminateProcess(GetCurrentProcess(), n) fails with error 5 (ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED) on WM2003. Can anyone confirm that ? TerminateProcess works just fine on Pocket PC 2002 and earlier. The problem with TerminateProcess may be the cause of problems with "End Task" not terminating applications correctly (i.e. leaving some threads running). For example: That is the case with Pocket Word: 1) start Pocket Word , create new Word document 2) Tools > File > Save Document As... 3) Start > Settings > Memory > Running Applications > Pocket Word > Stop apparently in this case the application seems to terminate correctly, but in fact now Pocket Word is now un-usable: 4) Start > Pocket Word -> nothing happens!

    - Selecting default device: how to target PPC 2002? Sorry for the cross-post... I think this is probably where I should have posted this I'm trying to debug over ActiveSync to a PocketPC 2002 device. I have installed the PPC 2002 SDK and it shows up inthe Windows CE Platform Manager Configuration dialog in eVB. However, I can't see anyway to select this as the default device. eVB keeps telling me that "The targeted platform does not match the device currently connected to your system", presumably because the only option I have as a target is "Pocket PC" or "PocketPC Emulation". Shouldn't there be a way to make "Pocket PC 2002" show up in the list of optional targets? If not, how do I get past this problem with the platform mismatch error Perhaps this is what I get for trying to install eVB on my D drive instead of C when the Platform SDK tells you to use C? (See my previous post in microsoft.public.windowsce.embedded.vb). I can't believe this is really a problem since D is where my system and program files are all installed TIA Davi Tag: %SystemRoot% on PocketPC? Tag: 77683

    - Using MSMQ in Web Services Hi, Here is what I am looking to do and tell me if this will work. I have programmed an app that runs on PDA's that connects to Sql server. If the connection is down I want to create a queue on the pda to hold messages/data that when connected to the network will download the messages to Sql to insert data into database. Is this possible to do using web services with MQ? If so what do I need to setup on the server. Server = Win XPPro and database is really MSDE. So how do I setup the web services and MQ on the server? I assume I would need to program a Queue on the client side and then have a web service residing on the server side that has a Queue. Correct? What else do I need? I am using C# to code in and the PDA is Pocket PC 2003 Thanks, JJ Tag: %SystemRoot% on PocketPC? Tag: 77680

I'd like to develop a simple CE application using the Compact Framework (probably in C#.NET).

    - Keep form on top I would like to display a modeless form, so that my app can continue to run in the background. However, my application can open new forms, which will appear on top of a the modeless form. I wish to prevent this from happening, so that when my modeless form opens, it stays on top until the user signals they have read it (by clicking a button on the form, which destroys it). I've found the function 'SetWindowPos', which I'm assuming will work in the CF (I've changed longs to integers). Private Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" _ (ByVal hWnd As Integer, _ ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Integer, _ ByVal x As Integer, _ ByVal y As Integer, _ ByVal cx As Integer, _ ByVal cy As Integer, _ ByVal wFlags As Integer) As Integer However, in the CF you cannot easily get the handle to the form, but I found another function to do this - FindWindow. Public Declare Function FindWindow Lib "coredll.dll" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As IntPtr This works fine, except that it returns the handle as an IntPtr, but the SetWindowPos function requires the handle as an integer. I've tried converting the IntPtr to an integer using System.Convert.ToUInt32(hwnd), but it fails on this line. I've also tried System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.PtrToStructure(hwnd, hstruct), but with no luck. Does anyone know how to convert an IntPtr to an integer, or know of a good way to keep a form on top? Thanks, Katherine Tag: %SystemRoot% on PocketPC? Tag: 77639

    - RichEdit control in Pocket PC 2002? Hi, Is there something similar to RichEdit in Pocket PC 2002? What I want to do is to make an edit control, with syntax highlighting using MFC. If it was a normal MFC application I could use RichEdit controls, find and replace the interesting keywords with the colored versions. However, I could not figure out a simple solution for that in Pocket PC 2002. Please note that I need to let the user edit the syntax highlighted text so just displaying a colored text is not what I need. I hope the solution does not involve writng a whole new control, handling the keyboard, text cursor and the gazillion possible messages a edit box should answer to intract to the other windows components as it would be a major task.
