creating install files
Hello,
I have tried to install a test app on a symbol ppt 2800.
The install files that I have created using VSS 2003 do
not seem to run on the pda.
I have tried multiple ways to install the app.
(1) Setup.exe
(2) Multiple cab files.
none of these methods work.
Do I have to purchase a software package that will do this
for me?
Thanks,

eVC - Can't turn off UNICODE
Hello,
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
I created a new project in EVC, and it seemed to be built
with the UNICODE option set on (not sure why). I'd like
to turn UNICODE off but can't seem to get it turned off.
I have deleted the UNICODE and _UNICODE references in the
preprocessor definitions, but I still get compile errors
that seem to be related to UNICODE.
Example #1:
printf() statements won't compile unless I encapsulate the
string with the _T() function.
Example #2:
I have the following code to convert a string to a hex
integer:
CString MyStr;
int MyVal;
sscanf(MyStr.GetBuffer, "%x", &MyVal);
I get the compile error:
error C2664: 'sscanf': cannot convert parameter 1
from 'unsigned short *(int)' to 'const char *'
Any idea how I can turn off UNICODE, assuming this is the
basic problem.
Thanks,

Rapi connection not re-initializing after device power off
Hello all.
I've been working on this problem for a few days now, and I am running
out of ideas. I have been unable to find any information on the
internet related this issue, and I am hoping that someone here may be
able to give me some advice.
I'm making a VC++ tray application that pushes a variety of files to
the PocketPC. Currently I use RAPI for the binary files and
shortcuts, and the DesktopToDevice function imported from adofiltr.dll
for some databases. The application currently uses an HP PocketPC
with ActiveSync 3.5.
The problem is when the device powers off in the middle of transfering
a database using DesktopToDevice. After restoring the device power
any RAPI calls my program makes return the error "Returned by WSARecv
or WSARecvFrom to indicate the remote party has initiated a graceful
shutdown sequence."
This error remains no matter how many times I recradle or power the
device on and off. The only way to get rid of the error is to reset
the device (which doesn't always work), or to restart my application
(out of the question).
My transfer function calls CeRapiUninit() before exiting, regardless
of any errors encountered, so I know that the connection /should/ be
closed. But after closing the connection any call I make returns the
same error code. To me it looks like RAPI isn't cleaning up after
itself. I even tried unloading and reloading the DLLs that I use in
the hopes that the connection to the device would be reset, but to no
avail.
So my question is this: Is there any way to reinitialize RAPI without
shutting down the application or resetting the device?
Thanks in advance,

PocketPC2003 SDK emulators
I installed "Microsoft Pocket PC 2003 SDK.msi" and I use MS Visual
Studio .NET 2003 for development. When I create a smart device apps,
VS.NET 2003 lets me choose to target PocketPC or Win CE.NET.
When I choose to create a PocketPC app., the PocketPC2002(!) emulator
will be started when debugging. Is there a PocketPC2003 emulator, or
shout I choose Win CE.NET? When I choose this second option a Win
CE.NET emulator is started but with a larger screen. Of course I can
change this, but is this a good work around? And can I run this app.

URGENT: Sending a NM_DBLCLK Message in the form of WM_NOTIFY with SendNotifyMessage( ) function from eVB.
Hello,
I want to programmatically double-click a ListView Item in my ListView under
WinCE 3.0.
In C++ the NM_DBLCLK is defined to be (NM_FIRST-3) NM_FIRST being (0U- 0U).
I am not sure what the U stands for and how to interpret it in eVB and
therefore I defined NM_DBLCLK in eVB as "Public Const NM_DBLCKL = -3). I
also define WM_NOTIFY as Public Const WM_NOTIFY = &H4E. I defined NM_CLICK
as Public Const NM_CLICK = -2
After I get my ListViewCtrl Handle I call SendNotifyMessage(hListView,
WM_NOTIFY, NM_CLICK, 0). Ofcourse I get an error! Error Value being 120
which is ERROR_CALL_NOT_IMPLEMENTED meaning "This function is not supported
on this system". Does this mean that one cannot change any ListView
properties under WinCE 3.0? Or does it mean that I am doing something
completely incorrect?
If I can get NM_CLICK to work I think NM_DBLCLK will also work.
Help!

Calling 'C' Dll in VB 3
I have a 'C' dll which i ported to PocketPC and can
successfully call from a PocketPC 'C' application. I am
trying to call it in VB 3. The DLL is compiled with
_stdcall. In VB it is declared this way:
Declare Function KCVersion Lib "KComm.dll"
Alias "_KCVersion" ( _
ByRef x As Integer, ByRef y As Integer, ByRef z As
Integer) As Integer
It accepts 3 int parms and returns an int. The 3 parms
are pointers and receive a 3 part version number.
When I try to run it on the PocketPC emulator I get the
following error:
Application Error: Cannot find extension file
pvbDecl.dll. Please run setup to restore this file.
Anybody know what pvbDecl.dll is? My dll is KComm.dll.
Anybody know what's going on here? If I comment out the
above Declare, the application loads fine, but obviously
doesn't execute the functions.

Win2000 bridge between 802.11 wireless Ad Hoc network and a wire network
Hi chaps,
Maybe a FAQ and maybe not the right NG, but I've got a question about
this configuration:
I've got 4 PCs home
3 of them connected with wire cables and a router. (They work) :)
1 PC has got 2 NICs, 1 wire and 1 wireless 802.11b (It works!)
I also got my PDA (dell axim) with a 802.11b adaptor. (Yeah working
fine).
The PDA and the wireless adaptor on PC are comunicating via Ad Hoc
connection, working sound and safe.
Right, both networking are working fine, but I cant see the wire
network from the wireless one and vice-versa.
I know on XP you can use a bridge between the two network connections
and get rid of the problem,
but Im running under win2000 and I couldnt find any solution.
(I've already tried as suggested to enable the internet connection
sharing on the wire networking in the PC with 2 NICs, it didnt help at
all)
Im sure most of you have got the same configuration, so any little
help on how to make it working it's very appreciated.
Thanks,

VBScript CLSID under PPC2003 - help needed

CLSID clsid;

HRESULT hr = CLSIDFromProgID(wszProgID, &clsid);
ASSERT(SUCCEEDED(hr));

seems that it is there. When I manually populate the _GUID CLSID
structure and try to CoCreateInstance with it I get
REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG so something is definitely wrong.

not exposed in PPC2003. Is there something wrong with the way the
class is registered?

IrDA bug on iPAQ 39xx
Hello,
We have a programme which communicates via raw IrDA with another
device. It works fine with the iPAQ 36xx and 37xx series.
But on the iPAQ 39xx we have serious problems. The iPAQ sends
additonal bytes like 0xFF, 0xFC oder 0xFA at the beginning of
the communication. Even the simplest example programme
HANDLE hCommPort;
hCommPort = CreateFile( TEXT( "COM2:" ), GENERIC_WRITE|GENERIC_READ,
0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL);
CloseHandle( hCommPort );
sends one byte to another device. There is no WriteFile or any other
communication function used !
The iPAQ 3970 we are using has the actual ROM version 2.10, also the
available service pack SP222283 doesn't change this behaviour.
Does anybody have the same problem or knows a solution ?

Unable to Install/Use PPC 2203 SDK with VB net 2003
Last year I successfully installed & configured the evb3 kit for PPC 2002.
For Mobile 2003, Microsoft reccomends developing in .NET, so after reading
about options,
1. I bought/installed VB .net 2003 standard. I fired it up, built a simple
windows app, but saw no mobile client features. (There was a mobile web
item, but my understanding is that is for client/server apps and not for ppc
resident applications.)
2. Went back to the web, and researched/found an "SDK" for 2003 which
included an emulator. It said Evc4 service pack 2 was a prerequisite. I
don't use C, but I downloaded and installed the ev4, and then...
3. downloaded & installed the SDK. I can bring the emulator up with no
trouble, but there is still not sign of tools to build mobile 2003 client
apps in my visual basic.net application.

Unfortunately there are some silent API changes of that sort between WinCE
3.0 and 4.x i.e. between Pocket PC (or Smartphone) 2002 and 2003.
For example, the API for IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICEID has silently changed i.e.
the structure of the DEVICE_ID buffer is completely different between Pocket
PC 2002 and 2003, but there is no change in the macro and structure names.
This means that Pocket PC 2002 code using this KernelIOControl call (to get
the device unique id) will silently break at runtime on Pocket PC 2003.
The Pocket PC / Smartphone 2002 code must assume that IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICEID
fills up a 16-byte buffer with the Unique Device ID, but on Pocket PC /
Smartphone 2003 the buffer structure is completely different (and variable
size).
Pocket PC 2002: see page 5 of

Pocket PC 2003:

So, please, Microsoft, can you change the name of the macros when you change
an API (e.g. make a IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICEID_2003 with a different value) , so
that applications have less chances to mysteriously break at run-time ?

Brain fart... How to run .EXE from within code?
I've got a brain fart. How do you start an executable from within your CF
code? In "normal" Windows (even .NET) I would use the Shell("PathName")
command, but that doesn't seem to be available, at least not in the Compact
Framework.
Any ideas?
Thnaks,

.NET apps and browsers
(a)
Is there any way to embed a client-side GUI
application into Pocket IE, via the .NET Compact Framework?
(b)
If not, can I write a .NET CF app using C# as a control,
so that so that a third party can launch it inside their
proprietary browser's frame? Is there a way that the third
party browser (written in eVC++) can communicate with
my .NET app/control?
(c)
If not, if I use an ATL/eVC project to create the browser
embedded application, can I fork a permanent background
thread that I can use across various web pages that
comprise my application? i.e. can one create a persistent
ActiveX object that does not get deleted when a user
changes pages? How?

.NET Compact Framework - install size
I need to evaluate whether I should write an application
using .NET CF or eVC++. THe application will run
on PocketPc, which already has many apps written in
native eVC++.
How much memory does .NET Compact Framework consume in
storage?
Also, when I run a .NET application, how much space can
an application (worst case) consume by loading in .NET
DLLs etc? Tag: Transcriber and scrolling Tag: 60589

When I click on the transcriber icon, how can I make the
form scrollable? Otherwise the transcriber hides the
current control.
