    - Is Socket.Receive(..., SocketFlags.Peek) supported in .NET CF ? Hi! I am having following code: System.Net.Sockets.Socket mySocket; .... mySocket.Receive(aBuffer, aOffset, aSize, SocketFlags.Peek) When running on PocketPC device (Windows Mobile 2003, 4.20) , or in Emulator (PPC 2003 SDK), I am getting exception: An unhandled exception of type 'System.Net.Sockets.SocketException' occurred in System.dll Additional information: The attempted operation is not supported for the type of object reference ....... Code is running fine on PC (full framework) It also works on PPC only when I use SocketFlags.None Documentation says that Peek flag is supported on CF ?

    - Dynamic menus in eVC without resources Several folks, including me, have discussed attempts to add menus to a dialog box in Pocket PC without using resources. In my case, I want to support dialog boxes created completely in a statically linked library. Well, I finally stumbled on a decent workaround: a toolbar. Seems somewhat obvious in hind sight. The code for handling menu items is the same as for any other menu. Here's the main section of code I use to create a toolbar. I left it completely unedited. I can't provide more details (too much specialized and/or proprietary code), but I think the names I use should be clear enough: First ,my definition of g_kiMenuHeight #if defined( FOR_PocketPC ) // ::GetSystemMetrics( SM_CYMENU ) returns 23, which is too small // SM_CYMENUSIZE is not defined for Windows CE 3.0 and newer // 26 from Shell sample for eVT; also from p. 776 of Boling 2nd Edition, and // 16 Aug 2000 contribution from Gary Peluso to thread called "Full Size PocketPC Dialogs" // in microsoft.public.windowsce.app.development // 15 Aug 03 contribution from Tim Wilson to thread called "menu height?" // in microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer suggested using SystemInformation, but // BZ found that SystemInformation is part of .NET const g_kiMenuHeight = 26; #elif defined( FOR_Smartphone) // 24 seems to be the right value (BZ guestimate) 25 Mar 04 (4.0.0.59) const g_kiMenuHeight = 24; #endif then the code // 13 Feb 05 (7.7.0.21) // use ToolBar // See 20-24 Feb 04 called "SHCreateMenuBar() without a resource file" in // microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer. In particular, see 20 Feb 04 // contribution from Almond Stowger for ideas adapated here. Also, a // 19 Feb 04 contribution from Eddy Escardo says: // SHCreateMenuBar does not currently support programatically // generated HMENUs, as the SHCMBF_HMENU flag just means that // nToolBarId will represent the ID of a menu in a compiled // resource module, not an actual HMENU that you can pass to // the SHCreateMenuBar call (as you've probably figured out by now). // 13 Feb 05 // Adapted from 19 April 2001 contribution by Alex Blekhman to thread // called "Toolbar help please" in comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32 #if 0 // From reference DWORD dwStyle = CCS_NODIVIDER | CCS_NOPARENTALIGN | CCS_NORESIZE | TBSTYLE_FLAT | TBSTYLE_LIST | TBSTYLE_TOOLTIPS | WS_CHILD | WS_CLIPCHILDREN | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_VISIBLE; #else DWORD dwStyle = CCS_NODIVIDER | CCS_NOPARENTALIGN | CCS_NORESIZE | TBSTYLE_FLAT | TBSTYLE_LIST | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE; #endif ASSERT( m_nID != 0 ); // Should be set by initInternal VERIFY( PFInitCCCommandBar() ); m_hWnd = CreateWindowEx( 0, // DWORD dwExStyle TOOLBARCLASSNAME, // LPCTSTR lpClassName NULL, // LPCTSTR lpWindowName dwStyle, // DWORD dwStyle ClsPFDialogBox::Gap(), 0, // BZ added WS_BORDER to styles (to make edges visible), then experimented // with x and width.

    - SQL Server connectivity with SmartDevice app First, let me say a BIG THANK YOU to the awesome MVPs who freely share their knowledge that they worked so hard to earn. Where would we be without you? Many thanks - you do a fantastic service. I read the November 24 post in the pocketpc.developer.network forum that said that it should be possible to connect to SQL Server through a SmartDeviceApplication. I have a working Windows App that talks great with SQL, so I copied over the exact same connection info, but the SmartDeviceApp just times out as it is trying to connect, even with a huge timeout string. It's not an issue with the handheld, because I'm just trying to run it using the PC2003 emulator. The code is so simple - below is a snippet from the load event of the form. It does display the "trying" msgbox OK, then after 500 seconds dies. HUGE gratitude in advance for any hints. Dim myConnString = "User ID=sa;Data Source=cindylulaptop;Password=;Initial Catalog=M1_DD;Persist Security Info=True;Packet Size=4096;Connect Timeout=500" Dim myConnection As New SqlClient.SqlConnection(myConnString) MsgBox("trying...") myConnection.Open() MsgBox("success") myConnection.Close() Tag: Timer problem in Pocket PC 2003 Tag: 95110

    - MarshalAs equivalent using C# in Compact Framework I need to call a DLL function in Pocket PC using C# for Compact Framework. The function takes a "char *" variable. Assume the function is declared something as following and "param" is an in and out parameter: extern "C" __declspec( dllexport ) char *Test(char *param) In full .NET framework I can use the the following C# declaration and use the function with no problem. [DllImport("TestDLL.dll")] public static extern string Test([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] StringBuilder buf); But as you are aware, the Compact Framework does not support MarshalAs attribute and I have not been able to call the function. I have Googled for a solution but somehow I cannot find the right answer. Would you please tell me how you pass a "char *" parameter in and out of a DLL function in compact framework using C#.

    - Push and Pull methods Hi all. This is a layout of my situation. I want to D/L to my PDA info from the MSDE server on my desktop. I then would like to take my PDA out in the field, work on the data, and come back. When back, I want to upload the Data back into MSDE, delete it from the PDA, and download new, fresh data. As it is now, I have a host prgm on my PC that fires a pull command on the PDA. That works hunky-dorey. I can then work with the data. No problem again. I then connect back the PDA, and fire the following code: (Host fires RAPI, the code below is on the PDA) Dim remoteconnectstring As String = _ "provider=SQLOLEDB;data source=" & mach & ";initial catalogue=AuxP; " _ & "user id=sa;password=Admin;Integrated Security=SSPI;" rda.LocalConnectionString = "Data Source = \my documents\dbvb.sdf;password=apress;" rda.InternetUrl = "http://" & mach & "/Aux/sscesa20.dll" rda.InternetLogin = "MANHYDRO\" & usr rda.InternetPassword = pwd rda.Push("sfmdauxp", remoteconnectstring, RdaBatchOption.BatchingOn) When this last line fires, I get: "No columns were found.

    - Cross platform dev. and WxWidgets Hello everyone, WxWidgets is "An open source C++ GUI framework to make cross-platform programming child's play" (http://www.wxwidgets.org/). It now supports WinCE (PPC) as well as a wide range of other platforms. This is the best cross platform framework that I have found which supports PPC and other embedded devices (like the palm). Has anyone found any other cross platform frameworks or had any problems using wxWidgets.

    - Recommendations for installer program? Hi, I wonder if some of you would be good enough to give some recommendations for a way of having a 'nice' installer. Users of my Pocket PC software are forever complaining that the installation routine is too complex, so I'd like to address it on the basis that a bad first impression is not good for business... Basically, it needs to do the following for the first installation: 1. Install the basic program components to the PPC (supporting the three different processor types), and register the controls etc. It's written in eVB, and a future version will be written in eVC. 2. Connect to a service on our web site, pass some information from the PPC to the site, then accept another file back (generated on the fly at the site) and install it on the PPC. That's about it for the initial installation. As the data file changes I guess I can write some kind of ActiveSync add-on to periodically check the web site for changes and download them if required. However the installer is the main thing I have problems with. I looked at Wise Installer very briefly. A search on their site for 'pocket pc' seems to indicate that it's nothing more than a fancy way of creating the CAB file. I want to customise more than that - not least because the service on the web site is one that we will write from scratch, not a standard server. I have a small VB program, thanks to the guys at devbuzz, which is capable of copying the file from the users PC, via ActiveSync, onto the Pocket PC. Would the best way be a more comprehensive version of that program which also copies the various CAB files and runs them? I couldn't see anything obvious in the MSDN RAPI documentation that dealt with this part of the installation cycle, though I can see how to get the file over to the PDA of course as I already do this. As I write this, it sounds like the way forward is with VB and the RAPI, but any comments would be most appreciated. Mike. Tag: Timer problem in Pocket PC 2003 Tag: 95049

    - Hooking\Hacking question for Pocket PC Guru Hello, We are interested in adding menu item to all context menus of any application. We want to implement this by hooking calls of API functions or messages. In this connection we have couple questions 1. We have DLL which is loaded into all processes of PocketPC. How we could set hooks on API functions during loading of my DL, i.e. when DLLMain with the argument "DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH" is called? Particularly we need a way of hooking calls of functions from coredll.dll. 2. Is it feasible to get table of imported functions of the current process on Pocket PC 2003? If so, is it possible to modify it? Also how to get offset to required function? Thanks All Tag: Timer problem in Pocket PC 2003 Tag: 95046

My Bluetooth- Settings say Inbound COM port is 5, outbound COM port is 8. The following code always returns an invalid handle and error code 55: HANDLE hSerialPort = CreateFile(TEXT("COM8:"), GENERIC_READ, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL); if (hSerialPort == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) { CString ErrorMsg = _T(""); ReturnValue = GetLastError(); ErrorMsg.Format(_T("Cannot open com port! Error: %d"), ReturnValue); m_SOEdit.SetWindowText((LPCTSTR)ErrorMsg); return TRUE; } if(GetCommState(hSerialPort, &commDCB)) { CString Props = _T(""); Props.Format(_T("DCBLength: %d\r\nBaudRate: %d\r\nBinary: %d\r\n") _T("Parity: %d\r\n"), commDCB.DCBlength, commDCB.BaudRate, commDCB.fBinary, commDCB.fParity); m_SOEdit.SetWindowText((LPCTSTR)Props); } if (hSerialPort) CloseHandle(hSerialPort); The receiver is connected and the connection is valid. Does anybody have an idea whats wrong? Many thanks for your help!

    - How to interface hardware devices? Is there any documentation on how to develop hardware devices for the PocketPC? I would like to connect various sensors, etc. What are the options? Bluetooth, The smartcard connector, The sync cable connector? It looks like some GPS devices connect via the smart card connector. How do I write low level drivers for such devices? Any hints at all?

    - how to stop a running process I am a newbie. I am developing an application that uses threads to gather data from a socket. I am finding that my code somehow does not let the main UI thread do its job. so the screen (just for my application) does not respond. I find that then I have to reset the ipaq to stop my application. Is there another way to just kill my application? i read on this newsgroup about sending the app a "kill message" if i have the applications "handle". i am hoping for something more like "taskmanager" or a way to list running processes on the PPC. select the process and kill it. -- Maria Cruz MTC Technologies.com Tag: Timer problem in Pocket PC 2003 Tag: 95001

    - CeGetDBInformationByHandle I am calling CeGetDBInformationByHandle with a handle for an object store database. Shouldn't the guidVol field in the BY_HANDLE_DB_INFORMATION struct contain the system GUID in this case? It does not contain the system GUID!

    - HTTP (and socket) connection fails after 73 connections... Hi, I have problems writing a http&socket client for PocketPC. I'm using Jeode JVM and it seems that every client I develop stops to make connections after 73 connections. This has to be caused by the fact that somehow the PocketPC can not reuse the local ports they are all used and I have not found a way to free these ports. Normal socket disconnect/close does not seem to help... Any ideas how to solve this problem? Best regards, Ville Tag: Timer problem in Pocket PC 2003 Tag: 94991

    - *.lnk file format Hello, i need to start my app after a soft reset takes place. In order to archive this I put a *.lnk file into auto start directory. The app is started but the "sim pin app" is also started and hides my app. I need to know whether my app was started by shell after soft reset or manually through user to implement a workaround for the hiding of my app. On a desktop machine I would pass some parameter to the app call but on ppc device I don't know how to create a *.lnk file with parameters in it. this is the content of my *.lnk file 27#"\hidden applicationname.exe" For every help I will thank in advance. regards Sylvester Tag: Timer problem in Pocket PC 2003 Tag: 94987

    - pocket ie \n newline in a textarea Hi All I have been searching this newsgroup for a workaround for the newline character \n in pie (pocket internet explorer) textarea elements. It is not supported on my XDA II (not sure what version of windows mobile this runs?) Anyway this works, <textarea name=i1 rows=10 cols=50></textarea> <script> i1.value = 'start'+String.fromCharCode(13, 10)+'end' </script> this has been frustrating me for a while.

Hi,

I am developing an application in which i am using timeSetEvent() and
timeKillEvent() to set and kill timer function. Problem is that when I try
to debug the application both the emulator and the device hangs. If I dont
use timers then I can debug my application (a dialog based MFC application).
Can anyone tell me whats wrong?

Thanks,

Arsalan
