    - PocketPC 2002/2003, Flash, Linux, MySQL I asked about this a little while ago, on a few newsgroups but time got in my way and I need to discuss it further before I can make a choice in developmental direction ... Please also note I am not an expert Flash developer, nor am I in any way expert in other web technologies ... I have a project that has the following outline goals:- - PocketPC ++ Flash 6 player - Flash application is interface to a database - let's say it's a contact database - user can query and update the database via Flash database - Database synchronises/replicates/whatever you want to call it with parent database on Linux serve running Apache and MySQL on demand or on daily synch as per user desire I am tying to establish what will be the best combination of technologies... the hardest part appears to be finding a way to synchronise the local database with the parent on the Linux server. Apparently if I could use Windows server and SQL Server it would 'just work' but that is not an option at all. So things that have come up include:- PocketPC interface over eVB shell PocketPC interface over eVC shell PocketPC interface over c# .net shell -- Which is more likely to succeed? -- Which is most accessible to someone who knows none of these development tools? eVB and winsock was also suggested to me, but I have little idea what that means ... I found some tools on a search that might enable synchronisation with the server but nothing that was supporting Linux/MySQL. This was the closest, but I contacted them and was told they decided not to support Linux after all dbBridge :- http://www.dbbridge.com/dbbridge/dbbridgehome.htm This looks promising, but I am still waiting for a response to see if I could put a Flash interface to it HanDBase Enterprise Edition 3.0i http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=5126 And this looks hopeful if I go the .net route ... and apparently it should work with the pocket .net framework. MySQLDirect .NET http://crlab.com/mysqlnet/ Any and all suggestions welcome :-) Steve Tag: Timer Question Tag: 79946

    - Application Inactivity I am develping an application that requires the detection of inactivity within the application. Since the application contains sensitive information, I would like a login form to be displayed after a predetermined period of user inactivity. How would I go about doing determining if the application has been inactive? I can't seem to find any material on the subject. Tag: Timer Question Tag: 79933

    - CM_ProxyEntries I am trying to configure a proxy server for use with connection manager. I see that you enter proxy entries using the CM_ProxyEntries CSP. The CM_ProxyEntries takes a source and detination GUIDs. Are these GUIDs CM_Network guids? Or are they CM_GPRS, CM_NetEntry, etc... I am unclear on what the source to destination mapping is doing. Doesn't the CM_Proxy add a proxy server to the CM_Network connection, that connection then uses that to push out to the internet through the proxy server? Why do I need to specify another GUID/connection? Thanks, Jon Tag: Timer Question Tag: 79931

    - How to create Menubar with Toolbar? PPC2003 Hello all, I've been trying to figure out for days on how to create a menu bar with a toolbar of icons. I figured out how to add a menu resource using the following code: memset(pMenuBar,0,sizeof(SHMENUBARINFO)); pMenuBar->cbSize = sizeof(SHMENUBARINFO); pMenuBar->hwndParent = hWnd; pMenuBar->dwFlags = SHCMBF_HMENU; pMenuBar->hInstRes = hInstance; pMenuBar->nToolBarId = IDR_mnuNSMenu; SHCreateMenuBar(pMenuBar); This works just fine and displays my menu, but I need to add some icons (like in pocket word). I tried setting the other members of the SHMEUBARINFO which are cBmpImages, nBmpId but nothing happens. If anybody has any good source that incorporates a toolbar with menu items like in pocket word please let me know. Again, I'm using Pocket PC 2003 and any source i've seen that is out there is in Pocket PC 2002 or earlier. Also I'm NOT USING MFC. Thanks, Geno Tag: Timer Question Tag: 79915

    - What's wrong with this code? I didn't get a reply to this, so I thought I'd try again. MainDialogA [shows]--> DialogB [shows]--> DialogC When you click the "OK" button in DialogC, rather than going back to DialogB as expected, it closes too! Could this be a limitation of nested dialogs? Thanks! Mike Welch ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 1. In the main dialog WndProc I handle the about button OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ... BOOL WINAPI MainDlgProc(HWND hDlg, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) ... if(wParam == IDC_ABOUT) { DialogBox(g_hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_ABOUT), g_hMainWnd, AboutDlgProc); break; } ... oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 2. The about dialog box handler opens a high score dialog box, also modal. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOL WINAPI AboutDlgProc(HWND hDlg, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { switch(msg) { case WM_INITDIALOG: { ...init stuff return TRUE; } case WM_COMMAND: { if (wParam == ID_BTN_HIGHSCORE) // clicked high score btn *---> DialogBox(g_hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_HIGHSCORE), hDlg, HighScoreDlgProc); if (wParam == IDCANCEL || wParam == IDOK) { // Close button EndDialog(hDlg, TRUE); return TRUE; } break; } } return FALSE; // Pass off to DefDlgProc } ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 3. The high score dialog box handler. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO When I call EndDialog below, not only does the high score dialog close, but the calling About dialog box closes too. Why? BOOL WINAPI HighScoreDlgProc(HWND hDlg, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { switch(msg) { case WM_INITDIALOG: { ... init stuff return TRUE; // Message handled } // Handle button clicks case WM_COMMAND: { if (wParam == ID_BTN_CLEAR_HIGHSCORE) ... code handler snipped return TRUE; } // Close the high score dialog if (wParam == IDCANCEL || wParam == IDOK) { *---> EndDialog(hDlg, TRUE); // closes calling dialog too! return TRUE; } break; } } return FALSE; } Thanks!

    - How to control the volume in a application Hi, I want to control the volume value in my application. (When I push the volume up button in my application, then the real volume of the pocketPC should also change.) I tried changing the volume registry value under "ControlPanel\\Volume" And after change the volume value and call 'AudioUpdateFromRegistry' in the coredll.dll. Someone says it would work. But 'AudioUpdateFromRegistry' doesn't work. The change in volume value is reflected only after I reset the PocketPC Device. Is there any key points I missing? Or any other methods? My code is like this below ==================================================== HKEY hKey = NULL; RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, _T("ControlPanel\\Volume"), 0, 0, &hKey); if (hKey) { DWORD cbData,dwType; DWORD dwValue = 0; if(ERROR_SUCCESS == RegQueryValueEx(hKey, _T("Volume"),0, &dwType ,(LPBYTE)&dwValue, &cbData)) { if (m_bVolumeSet) { if(dwValue < 0x99999999) { m_SystemVolume = dwValue; dwValue = 0x99999999; } } else { dwValue = m_SystemVolume; } RegSetValueEx(hKey, _T("Volume"), 0, dwType, (LPBYTE)&dwValue, cbData); RegCloseKey(hKey); typedef void (* Function)(void); Function lpfnFunc = NULL; HINSTANCE hCoreDll = LoadLibrary(TEXT("coredll.dll")); if (hCoreDll) { lpfnFunc = (Function)GetProcAddress(hCoreDll, _T("AudioUpdateFromRegistry")); if (lpfnFunc) { (lpfnFunc)(); } FreeLibrary(hCoreDll); } } else RegCloseKey(hKey); } =================================================================== I tested all the key under _T("ControlPanel\\Volume") - Volume, Screen, Key Screen and Key are immediately reflected by the new value after calling 'AudioUpdateFromRegistry'. But the Volume only doesn't. Please help. Regards. Tag: Timer Question Tag: 79891

It says that lconn should be 0 if there is a good connection. However, r should contain a non 0 value if the function worked. When I call CERAPIGetError, it returns a 0.

    - Problems with "GET" in HTML on PIE I have an .ASP script that proces a form. It works ok on Internet Explorer (Win and Mac), Mozilla and others. It works well on Pocket PC OS 2002, but there's no way to have it working on Windows Mobile 2003. Access Netfront 3.1 works fine, but Pocket Internet Explorer comes back with the error message my script sends out when a field is empty. I am sure this changed from 2002 to 2003. On Netfront, Mozilla and Internet Explorer it works fine. PIE 2003 fails. Try this ASP: <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <title>Test login</title> </head> <% response.write request("submit") %> <form id="login_form" name="login_form" method="get" > <input type=submit name="submit" value="LOGIN" > </form> <body> </body> </html> On any browser you'll see LOGIN on your browser as the result of clicking the button.

    - eVC 4.0 + MFC - Events not firing Hello all. About 2 days ago I started to re-write an application I had begun in raw Win32 using MFC. I'm creating the basic UI right now, and I'm having a bit of trouble with events in my dialogs. My base program is a Dialog-based application, contained in my "CEsysscanDlg" class. I click a button in that dialog which creates a CPropertySheet derived class called "HW_PROP_SCREEN" that has 4 pages. Each page is a CPropertyPage class derived object added in by the HW_PROP_SCREEN object on creation (it also pops up as soon as I declare it, which strikes me as odd.) The problem arises when I attempt to interact with controls on my PropertyPages. I start with my "HW_PG1" class, which is derived from CPropertyPage. It consists of: - A text box with a button to the right - A drop-down ComboBox - Two read-only text boxes and was created using the Dialog Editor. My combo box, "IDC_HW_HWTYPE", has one event associated with it, "CBN_SELENDOK" which I already have performing what I want in my Win32 version. But it seems that whenever I'd expect the CBN_SELENDOK event to fire, it doesn't. To test, I created the BN_CLICKED for my "IDC_LOADREC" button (to the right of the first text control) and added a MessageBox call to the event. It does not fire either. I tried creating several other events, and none fire. Am I missing a step here? Are my messages getting misrouted and not being caught by my PropertyPage? Any assistance would be appreciated!

    - Compiling for H/PC v2.0? Is there any way to get eMbedded VC++ to build an EXE for H/PC (WinCE 2.0)? I have the SDK for H/PC Pro (CE v2.11), and EXEs from that will also run on H/PC 2000 as I understand it. I didn't think there'd be that much of a difference between 2.0 and 2.11 but the simpliest (~3K Exe) "Hello World" Win32 app won't run (gives an exception) on my Jornada 660 H/PC. :-( I think I found the H/PC 2.0 SDK on microsoft's site (mplatsdk.exe).

    - Synchronizing Pocket Access with 2 PC's I am having a problem getting my access database to synchronize with 1 Pocket PC (iPaq 4155) with 2 different desktop computers. I set it up fine with one PC and one device and synchronizes no problem (using ActiveSync 3.7 build 3083). When I try to get it to synchronize with a second PC, I run into problems. I have tried: 1) Copying the MDB from one computer to another In this case, you cannot manually create a synchronization item Pocket Access without moving the MDB to the CDB, and if I do, I am worried the first PC will no longer synch. 2) Copying the CDB from the device to the second computer In this case, it gives me an error when copying the CDB to the second desktop, but the MDB is created. Then I try to synch and it gives me errors. Finally, I tried moving the original MDB (copied from the first PC) to where the second PC is looking for the MDB to synch it, and that gave me errors. I was hoping someone has done this and knows some tricks they can share. Basically, I want to have to identical copies of an Access database on 2 different PC's, where they both can synch with one CDB on my iPaq. Thanks in advance, Kevin Tag: Timer Question Tag: 79781

    - DESKTOPTODEVICE deletes tables I want to keep Hi, I'm developing my first CE application, and have come accross a problem with the DESKTOPTODEVICE call from Visual Basic 6. I have a Pocket Access database on my Pocket PC 2002 Device, and want to programatically sync with my desktop. The Scanner Database has quite a lot of tables that I don't want to update all of the time, to save download time. On my scanner I have say 10 tables, when I use DESKTOPTODEVICE to send 1 table to the scanner, it seems to delete all the tables, then sends the 1, and my database is left missing all the other tables. Does anybody know whether this is by design or whether I am doing something wrong. If it is by design, does anybody know any alternative methods of updating the desktop with the scanner database? Many Thanks in advance Chris chris.roberts@optima-ws.com Tag: Timer Question Tag: 79777

    - PPC2003 Email account wildcard query I'm using DMProcessConfigXML() on PocketPC 2003 to look up Email account info. I can create an Email account and do a query lookup on it by using its GUID, as described in MSDN under the EMAIL2 CSP (configuration service provider). Is there a wildcard lookup method to list all accounts without knowing the GUID ? I tried these queries, but they do not return the list: <wap-provisioningdoc> <characteristic-query type="EMAIL2" /> </wap-provisioningdoc> <wap-provisioningdoc> <characteristic type="EMAIL2" /> </wap-provisioningdoc> Warren Kinninger Tag: Timer Question Tag: 79770

    - Power off/Suspend mode I'm writing an application that uses a working thread for communication with serial ports (Ir, cable, bt, etc.). Problem is that when user puts the PPC in suspended mode it locks down the thread and sometimes the whole device. This only happens when a BT serial port is open and PPC 2003, not when using Ir or serial on cable... Does anybody know a way to exit/end the worker thread when going into suspend mode? Does system send any message about going to suspend mode before shuting down? If I can catch such a message perhaps I have time to close down my serial connection to the BlueTooth serial port?

I have a timer in my form that has a relatively short interval and calls a sub that takes a long time to execute. What happens if I disable the timer in its tick event before calling my long process. For example:

tim_Tick
tim.enabled = false

LongProcess()

tim.enabled = true

Could disabling the timer kick itself out of the sub for the Tick event? Does this approach make sense overall? Thanks for the help.
