    - How to select wifi over gprs? How to configure CE5.0 to send data over wifi if both wifi and gprs are on? I have tried to find out the this solution for a while but still not able to get answer. I have tried the "connections", but still cannot configure the CE5.0 to send data over wifi first if both on. After reboot, sometime it go through wifi, and sometime go through gprs when both on. If turned on the gprs first, and then turn on wifi later, the CE5.0 always send data over gprs when both gprs and wifi on by looking from sniffer. Thanks, M.K.

    - MS Stack, pairing no services Hello everyone, Did not see any Bluetooth forums hope others leaving Widcomm for Microsoft stack have had this issue. I can pair devices but no services are picked up? My Motorola S9's have two services, one for hands free and another for headset - neither are found so I have a paired device which does not work. Right clicking on the the blue icon in the sys tray and selecting send a file works! I chose my HTC Touch and a file and presto the file is sent. There are no services for this device ether (Touch). I downloaded inthehand Bluetooth library and am able to list all devices paired - and of course 0 services for all devices. I have removed my dongle and drivers, rebooted etc, to know avail - pairing and no services found, every time?! Most websites with a Microsoft stack issues report no activity at all. My Bluetooth adapter is from Trend net and is TBW-101UB version 3. Under device manager: Broadcom Ultimate Low Cost Bluetooth 2.0+EDR; 10/24/2006; 5.1.2535.0 Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator; 8/3/2004; 5.1.2600.2180 The only newer drivers are for vista (I'm still on XP) All thoughts & questions appreciated Tag: Re: HTC Touch (P3450) adjust backlight intensity/brightness Tag: 127866

    - Differentiating between the Rocker and DPAD Hi, I am writing an app that captures key events and I would like to differentiate between the rocker and the dpad I see that there is a method to do this GetKeyEventSource but I can't seem to find the correct .lib file to link with when compiling, perhaps someone can point me to the correct lib to link with, suggestions for other ways to do this are also welcome. I have searched in both WM 5 & 6 Smartphone and PPC lib directories and can't find the appropriate file to link with.

    - Windows Mobile 6 Classic / Windows CE 5.0 problem with USB to UART I'm currently developing a .NET CF 2.0 program to interface to USB sensor. It is using the USBExpress CP2102 device from Silicon Labs (http://www.silabs.com) and I've come across an issue with their driver for Windows CE5. I canâ??t read from the device, yet I'm able to wite data out of the device. What concerns me most is that I purchased a FTDI evaluation board to test and it had the same problem! I did have to use pinvoke to call the driverâ??s API dll. Yet I also tried their native C examples from the USB bridge vendors, and tried using the example applications to determine the problem. Has anyone heard of a similar issue, or know of some setting in Windows Mobile 6 / Windows CE 5.0 that could be preventing the driver from reading data from the USB to uart bridge? Since it has happened with more than one bridge/chipsets I'm thinking it must be a windows CE issue/security setting. I spent the better half of the past two day tiring to get a hold of MS tech support with little success. I've been hung-up on twice and the online form doesn't accept my PID for the device and sends me to a page to pay ~$260 for support. I do have two MSDN support tickets, yet when clicking the support link on MSDN I get sent to the same page that rejects my PID and wants me to pay ~$260 again... Since I've been unable to figure out how to use my support incidents, I'm using this as my last hope of finding a solution to this problem.

    - OpenNetCF randomly becomes unavailable on Windows Mobile 6 Hello, I have built a PocketPC application that has dependencies on OpenNETCF 1.4. I've built the OpenNET DLLs into my CAB for distribution and everything works well and installs well on WM2003, and WM5. On Windows Mobile 6, everything installs fine and my application launches after installation. However, if I reboot the PocketPC then launch my application again, I lose my connection with OpenNETCF and receive the following error: File or assembly name 'OpenNETCF, Version=1.4.50804.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30C767B29D52D6E6', or one of its dependencies, was not found. Now, the strangest thing about all of this is that this failure seems to be inconsistent. Sometimes it never fails at all, but I can manage to make it fail about 70% of the time. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong in my CAB INF, if OpenNETCF 1.4 is inconsistent on this platform, or what, but I have deployed many PocketPC apps in the past and have never seen this behavior. Any help or clues anyone can give would be *most* appreciated. Thanks, Larry King Human Interface Engineer Tag: Re: HTC Touch (P3450) adjust backlight intensity/brightness Tag: 127863

    - Windows CE cab file web deployment I am wondering if there is a way to deploy an MFC ActiveX control via the web to devices running Windows CE. My inf file which I referenced with CabWiz while generating the cab file is below. In my HTML page, I use an Object tag to reference the control. My object tag looks like this (where classid is the real classid, and the codebase url is a real location for the cab file): <object id="ActiveXControlName" classid="clsid: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" codebase="http://LocationOf/ ActiveXControlNameInstall.cab#version=1,0,0,0"> </object> We can assume that the site the web page resides on is a trusted site in the user's browser, and that unsigned ActiveX control will result in a prompt. Basically, if the ActiveX control is not registered on the Windows CE device, I would like user to be prompted to install the cab file on each page visit. If the ActiveX control is registered on the device, but the version number of the registered control is older than the version number specified in the codebase, I would like the user to be prompted to update the control by installing the cab file. If the ActiveX control is registered on the device, and the version number of the registered control is the same or newer than the version number specified in the codebase, the control will render as normal. Here is my inf file, with the Provider and AppName fields changed to fake values: [Version] Signature = "$Windows NT$" Provider = "CompanyName" CESignature = "$Windows CE$" [CEStrings] AppName="ActiveXControlName" InstallDir=%CE2%\ [Strings] sh3_cpu = 10003 sh4_cpu = 10005 mips_cpu = 4000 strongarm_cpu = 2577 armcpu = 1824 [CEDevice] ; valid for Windows CE 4.1 - 5.0 VersionMin = 4.1 VersionMax = 5.0 [DefaultInstall] CopyFiles = Files.Windows CESelfRegister = ActiveXControlName.ocx [SourceDisksNames] 1 = ,"Common files",,. [SourceDisksFiles] ActiveXControlName.ocx = 1 [DestinationDirs] Files.Windows = 0,%CE2% ;\Windows [Files.Windows] ActiveXControlName.ocx,,, Tag: Re: HTC Touch (P3450) adjust backlight intensity/brightness Tag: 127854

    - Custom font problem on Windows Mobile Hi, I am a beginner in Windows programming and currently building a Windows Mobile 5.0/6.0 application that is dependent on a custom TrueType font I created. The custom font is mapped to Unicode characters and the font file resides in the application folder under Program Files. I've read through MSDN Library and installed my font as instructed here http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms901090.aspx . Implementation was successful and my program displayed the custom font correctly with no issues. You can download and view my custom font file from the link below. http://project.ionized.googlepages.com/PDCDefault.zip Now the problem is that some specific non-related programs on the Pocket PC device start using my custom font once AddFontResource function is called. The affected programs will display squares instead of characters, thus rendering them useless. Not all programs exhibit this behavior though. The same font corruption can be reproduced if I copy my custom font into the \Windows\Fonts folder and reset the device. Copying the custom font into \Windows\ folder may work in some but not all cases. I am also refraining from adopting the latter methods because extra steps are required to unregister and remove fonts from the Windows or Fonts folders. Examples of such problematic programs are HTC Cube, HTC Comm Manager, KaiserTweak and Windows Mobile's very own screen alignment program. I think these programs were using system font (Tahoma) before my custom font is installed. Before custom font is installed: http://project.ionized.googlepages.com/before.png After custom font is installed: http://project.ionized.googlepages.com/after.png Iâ??ve searched many places and one of the common workarounds I found was to copy another Microsoft TrueType font like Verdana into the Windows folder. Somehow, the problematic programs would choose Verdana over custom fonts but this is not a guaranteed fix. The other solution was to rename the custom font family name to begin with the letter Z because somebody mentioned that fonts are loaded in alphabetical order(?). This did not work for me however. I could not find any official solutions on Microsoft site regarding this problem. So, my questions are: 1. Why do other programs use my custom font? 2. How does Windows Mobile determine which font gets priority over system font? 3. What can I do to prevent other programs from using my custom font? I've totally ran out of ideas on how to implement custom fonts now. Any suggestions or insights will be much appreciated. Thank you.

    - Wireless Zero Configuration compliant Device Good day, all participants, I would like to buy a device, either a Smartphone or Pocket PC. I want to use OpenNetCF or Wireless Zero Configuration to retrieve wifi signal strength. I know that if a device is not WZC compliant, then we cannot use WZC. Although I heard from our good man, Mr. Chris Tacke that many devices are WZC compliant, I still want to make sure that I got the right device. Hence, for anyone who owns a device with WZC compatible, can you share that information and experience with us here? Thanks to @sid, we know that HTC TyTN II is WZC compliant. Are there more devices?

    - One app instance only reactivation issues Hi, I have a fullscreen dialog based app and *almost* have the "one instance only" stuff working - with one caveat.. Say I have my app showing either a pop-up dialog or a messagebox. The user then decides to navigate top the home screen. The app disappears as expected. He then reactivates the app by clicking on its icon. It is reactivated but just shows the base dialog, the popup or messagebox is not shown. It's still there as it blocking the keyboard interface to the base dialog. Also after around 30-60 seconds the popup or messagebox reappears. What do I need to do to get any child dialog or message box to come to the foregound and gain focus when the app is reactivated? TIA.

    - embedded media player in compact framework application Hello everybody! I'm trying to embed media player in my pocket pc application and found alex feinman's article about hosting activex controls in a compact framework application. I got stuck in his words below where he uses aximp to create the source and some dlls from windows\system32\wmp.dll: "The biggest importance to your project is its ability to produce the Interop code in its source format. If you run the following command line, AxImp.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wmp.dll /source, it produces three files: * AxWMPLib.cs * AxWMPLib.dll * WMPLib.dll Why do you want the source? If you look at the AxWMPLib.dll in the ILDAsm tool, you can see that it is compiled against the desktop computer versions of MSCORLIB and System.Windows.Forms. Obviously, you cannot use the AXIMP generated version of AxWMPLib.dll. But, you can compile the source file against the .NET Compact Framework libraries and get an assembly that you can use on the device." How can i compile a source against compact framework. Do i have to add it in my compact framework project and just debug it and that's all? Or there is a different procedure to do that? I also thought of an another kind of solution. If i can't embed media player in compact framework maybe i could embed it on a asp mobile web form and call that asp page via a webbrowser component whenever i want to. Any ideas about that?

SetWindowPos(this.Handle, HWND_TOPMOST, this.Left, this.Top, this.Width, newheight, SWP_DRAWFRAME); Both, do not amount to any change in dropdown height. I do change the ItemHeight in the combobox when its created successfully. And, this makes some of the items in my dropdown go below the fold. There is a vertical scroll that appears but it creates usability issues that I would like to avoid by increasing the dropdown height and showing all the items without the need of a scroll. Would appreciate any contribution, Sarav Tag: Re: HTC Touch (P3450) adjust backlight intensity/brightness Tag: 127748

    - Treo-500v firmware bug causes applications to receive spurious private messages A firmware bug in the Treo-500v causes all applications to receive a spurious private message 0x00008017 after a phone call is performed from the device. This message is normally in a range reserved for private communication between the threads of an application and should never be sent to an application by the system, the shell, or any other software on the device. This firmware bug can cause random application crashes and other issues. This issue exists in various other windows mobile devices and was reported to microsoft two years ago (first spotted on the Motorola Q), but apparently microsoft still does not include testing for this firmware bug in their platform validation tests, and we see it popping regularly on new devices. More information can be found here: http://www.modaco.com/content/Windows-Mobile-Development-Visual-C/242539/Windows-Mobile-Spurious-private-messages-firmware-bug/ Tag: Re: HTC Touch (P3450) adjust backlight intensity/brightness Tag: 127740

    - Invalid Callstack when CRASH. Hi Guys, I am trying to investigate a random crash in my application, but whenever it crashes I always get a callstack without any Symbols, just addresses, with a message in output window. callstack: 0x033734c8 0x033758f8 0xf000fffc output window message: Data Abort: Thread=85f7d718 Proc=804161d0 'app.exe' AKY=00008001 PC=033734c8(commctrl.dll+0x0001b4c8) RA=033758f8(commctrl.dll+0x0001d8f8) BVA=0fdb5a96 FSR=00000005 First-chance exception at 0x033734c8 in app.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x01db5a96. My application has two threads with lots of GUI components, and I am not using any GUI components across threads, I tried to look up at the MAP file and made some sense of it but could not get any reference to the addresses in callstack. any suggestion?

    - Lack of history.go(-1) and history.back() in htmlview? Hi, We're using htmlview(htmlview.dll) to develop our own browser; however, we found the following java scripts don't work in htmlview. history.go(-1) history.back() Is this a known problem? If yes, is there any available fix for this? Besides, is ther an alternative browser control which I can use to get around the problem? Thanks in advance Tag: Re: HTC Touch (P3450) adjust backlight intensity/brightness Tag: 127738

I am not able to adjust the backlight for my P3450 running WM6. I'm adjusting
"BrightNess" and "ACBrightNess" in the registry "HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight"
successfully. I then try to update the display using the
"BackLightChangedEvent" but nothing is happening.

The event seems to be fired up because "int test =
SetEvent(hBackLightEvent);" returns 1, but still the display is not changing.

This approach apparently works for some devices (as i gathered from a quick
google) but does not seem to work for my HTC Touch.

I would like to be able to change the display brightness depending on
ambient light. Thanks in advance for any help.
