Hi, I've searched pocketpcdn and found the article. But following method
doesn't work. It returns false. Can you give me any idea why? IDR_MENU_MAP is
a menu I created with the resource editor. This code is inside
OnInitDialog().
SHMENUBARINFO info;
info.cbSize = sizeof(info);
info.hwndParent = m_hWnd;
info.dwFlags = 0;
info.nToolBarId = IDR_MENU_MAP;
info.hInstRes = ::AfxGetInstanceHandle();
info.nBmpId = 0;
info.cBmpImages = 0;
if(SHCreateMenuBar(&info))
AfxMessageBox(_T("true"));
else
AfxMessageBox(_T("false")); Tag: What happened to WM_HELPINFO PPC2k3/VS2k5? Tag: 106678

MySQL
Hi!
Is it possible to connect to a MySQL database from a VB.net application?
I tried this:
Dim Conn As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
Conn = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection( _
"Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver}; " & _
"Server=***; " & _
"Database=***; " & _
"User ID=***;" & _
"Password=***;")
But that does not seem to work. The emulator gets a error, that the
option driver is unknown.

how to detemine free memory?
Folks,
I'm looking for a way to programmatically query the amount of free memory on
a Pocket PC. Basically, I want the figures that appear as "Storage Free" and
"Program Free" under the Main tab in Settings | Memory. I'd like to do this
in C#, if possible.
Also, if a device had an internal hard drive, would this appear as "Storage"
memory, or as a permanently mounted memory card?
Thanks much,

Windows Mobile 5 and secchk.lib
I'm trying to add a WM5 target to my PPC2003 solution (Visual Studio
2005). I installed the SDK, added a new build type (I derived it from
my PPC2003 build type), and chose the correct emulator for the target
device.
The problem is that even if I have /GS- in the compiler settings
(disable security checks), I am still getting LNK1104 for secchk.lib.
As far as I can tell, secchk.lib doesn't even exist in the WM5 SDK.
I can't find any explicit references to secchk.lib anywhere in the
project. Does anyone know where I went wrong, or what the solution is? Tag: What happened to WM_HELPINFO PPC2k3/VS2k5? Tag: 106660

How to adjust backlight brightness programmatically on Windows Mobile 2005
Hello,
I have a HP iPAQ 2490 with Windows Mobile 2005 OS. It seems that
Microsoft has changed the way you adjust brightness programmatically.
On PocketPC 2003 you changed system registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Backlight]
"ACBrightNess"
"BrightNess"
Then...
SystemParametersInfo(WM_SETTINGCHANGE, 0, 0, SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE);
//Notify close event...
HANDLE hEvent = CreateEvent(NULL, FALSE, FALSE,
T("BackLightChangeEvent"));PulseEvent(hEvent);
CloseHandle(hEvent);
But this has changed in the Windows Mobile 2005 OS.
Anyone who knows how this is done?

API PlaySound function playing wrong sound
Hello,
I am trying to get a program on a Pocket PC 2003 platform to play
specified sounds at certain points in the program. Sometimes it plays
the sound I specify, but about 50% of the time it just plays a default
beep instead (at the same point in the program). Does anyone know why?
The code is:
PlaySound("\windows\msgbox.wav", IntPtr.Zero,
PlaySoundFlags.SND_FILENAME _
Or PlaySoundFlags.SND_ASYNC)
As I say, about half the time it works and plays the sound I want, so
there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the way I am calling it. How

MAPI two character PR_BODY includes extra chinese characters
Has anyone ever seen an example where when reading the body of a
Windows CE mail message body using PR_BODY via IStream, that extra
chinese characters are inserted at the end of the ASCII text message?
If so, what was the cause? When this occurs, the message size given
via Stat() is double the number of ASCII characters, and when it
doesn't happen the message size matches the number of ASCII characters.
This is on an english device and the text being entered is english
text.
For example, I can reliably reproduce this problem with a two character
body on PPC 2003, and with a four character body on WM 5.0. Tag: What happened to WM_HELPINFO PPC2k3/VS2k5? Tag: 106616

programmatically play new email notification: sound/buble/flash/vibrate?
In Pocket PC, you can control how to get notified when there is a new
email: Under
"Setting"=>"Personal"=>"Sounds&Notifications"=>"Notification" tab,
choose specific settings for "Messaging: New e-mail message". In
Smartphone, there is a similar setting (with only a choice to pick a
sound though).
I developed a mail transport, which creates an account in Outlook based
on user's username/password/server/port, and drops new emails in the
inbox without user's intervention (sort of like always-on email).
After a new email arrives, the user needs to be notified. My question
is how to generate notification based on the user's setting? For
example, play a wav file chosen by the user, and/or vibrate ...
I found something in the registry, but thought that might not be the
right approach. Appreciate any hints/help.

Asynch wininet - Threaded or not?
Hi,
If I use asynch Wininet is there any purpose in hiving of the Wininet calls
into separate threads and the extra complication which ensues? As from what
I can see the system starts a separate thread implicitly for the asynch
calls anyway.
The reason I ask is I imagine the thread switching might ensure that the UI
remains responsive - plus there may be other issues you can enlighten me
with.
My application is "real-time" and will be applied to a Pocket PC/Smartphone
as well as WinXP so I need the quickest/most efficient functionality
possible.
Also the UI response must be as fast as possible.
The application basically "GET"s a website for info then issues occasional -
through crucial "POST"s prompted by the user via the UI.
Both the GETS and POSTS must be carried out as close to real-time as
possible.

Newbie info on device-locking, screen on/off, hotkeys
I have a qtek9100, I wish for it to stay "on" all the time, unless
explicitly "powered down" by the power-button.
However, i want to "lock" the device, and the screen turned off when the
device is locked. I can see that this will require me to write a small app.
I have looked at apps like ScreenToggle, but that doesn't work very well
in combination with locking, integration is needed.
I have VS2003, with mobile-support, and i've managed to write a
hello-world app that runs on the qtek.
Now what i need is some pointers to articles, code, ... that shows how
to interact with:
- screen on/off (I've found
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/ppc_layoff.asp)
- lock/unlock of the device (not memory, can't manage to get many hits
that are not about memory-locking)
- "hotkeys" it would be nice to be able to control
So, any input welcome...

PIM Notifications
Hello all,
This is just a repost of a question I posted earlier. If anyone can
help me, I would be very grateful.
I am registering for notifications basically by the example in the
Pocket PC 5.0 help file. The code goes as follows:
void SetupPIMNotifications(void)
{
HRESULT hr = E_FAIL;
hr = SubscribeToNotifications(olFolderCalendar,
PIMFOLDERNOTIFICATION_REMOTE);
hr = SubscribeToNotifications(olFolderContacts,
PIMFOLDERNOTIFICATION_REMOTE);
hr = SubscribeToNotifications(olFolderTasks,
PIMFOLDERNOTIFICATION_REMOTE);
}
HRESULT SubscribeToNotifications(int olItemType, uint
uiNotificationsType)
{
HRESULT hr = 0;
IFolder *pFolder = NULL;
IItem *pItem = NULL;
CEPROPVAL propval = {0};
// Parameter check
if(m_polApp2 == NULL)
{
hr = -1;
goto Error;
}
if(!uiNotificationsType)
{
if(FAILED(E_INVALIDARG))
{
hr = (E_INVALIDARG);
goto Error;
}
}
// Get the folder for the item type.
hr = m_polApp2->GetDefaultFolder(olItemType, &pFolder);
if(FAILED(hr))
{
hr = (hr);
goto Error;
}
if(!(NULL != pFolder))
{
hr = (E_FAIL);
goto Error;
}
hr = pFolder->QueryInterface(IID_IItem, (LPVOID*)&pItem);
if(FAILED(hr))
{
hr = (hr);
goto Error;
}
if(!(NULL != pItem))
{
hr = (E_FAIL);
goto Error;
}
// Set the props on the folder.
propval.propid = PIMPR_FOLDERNOTIFICATIONS;
propval.val.ulVal = uiNotificationsType;
hr = pItem->SetProps(0, 1, &propval);
if(FAILED(hr))
{
hr = (hr);
goto Error;
}
Error:
if (pItem != NULL)
{
pItem->Release();
pItem = NULL;
}
if (pFolder != NULL)
{
pFolder->Release();
pFolder = NULL;
}
return hr;
}
After these are set up, I put in a check in my windows procedure to see
if a PIM item was created, changed, or deleted from a remote process,
not a local one.
I am currently running an application that creates a new thread and
that thread creates/changes/deletes the PIM items.
My question is when this thread creates/changes/deletes a PIM items,
how come that message gets passed to my windows procedure as a remote
change and not a local change? Don't threads have the same Process ID
as the calling process, so it should be considered basically the same
process? Also, is there a way to determine the process that changed
the PIM items, if any?
Thank you all for all of your time.

XDA platform and an XDA EXEC platform.
I am monitoring the Power manager events and continuously get

// Recieve notifications from the power manager
msgqOpt.dwSize = sizeof(MSGQUEUEOPTIONS);
msgqOpt.dwFlags = MSGQUEUE_ALLOW_BROKEN;
msgqOpt.dwMaxMessages = 5;
msgqOpt.cbMaxMessage = sizeof(POWER_BROADCAST) + MAX_PATH;
msgqOpt.bReadAccess = TRUE;
hMsgQ = CreateMsgQueue(TEXT("messageQ"), &msgqOpt);
hPowerThread = CreateThread(0, 0, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)powerThread,
hInstance, 0, 0);
HANDLE hPwrNoti = RequestPowerNotifications(hMsgQ, POWER_NOTIFY_ALL);
and in my thread
while (TRUE)
{
dwRet = WaitForSingleObject(hMsgQ, INFINITE);
bRet = ReadMsgQueue(hMsgQ, &PwrInfo, sizeof(PwrInfo), &dwRead,
INFINITE, &dwFlags);
// continuous PBT_POWERSTATUSCHANGE seen here

However, as you already know, on VGA devices, WinCE resizes this window

it just does not get connected, and status changes to "disconnected".
There is no error msg also.
Is there some kind of authentication required by CoreCon, which is not
required by Platform Manager?

ActiveSync & TCP transport connection options in eVC, but I can only
see the TCP transport option in VS 2005. Why isnt VS giving me the

ICMPSendEcho is not working
I am working on WM 5.0 and following code is not working for ICMPSendEcho
TCHAR SendData[] = "Data Buffer";
LPVOID ReplyBuffer;
DWORD err = 0;
ReplyBuffer = (VOID*) malloc(sizeof(ICMP_ECHO_REPLY) + sizeof(SendData));
err= IcmpSendEcho(hIcmp,
inet_addr("123.456.789.0"),
SendData, sizeof(SendData) + sizeof(ICMP_ECHO_REPLY),
NULL, ReplyBuffer,
sizeof(SendData) + sizeof(ICMP_ECHO_REPLY),

error C2065: 'SetDlgItemText' : undeclared identifier when #include <afxwin.h>
Hi,
I am developing in eVC++ 2002 for the x86 Pocket PC 2002 emulator.
I had the following SetDlgItemText command working in my main project:
SetDlgItemText(g_hWnd, MSG_EDIT, (LPWSTR)TextBuffer);
But in the process of trying to add some dialogs to the project I have
had to include:
#include <afxwin.h>
in my StdAfx.h file.
But this causes the error:
error C2065: 'SetDlgItemText' : undeclared identifier
The dialog additions do not compile without adding the MFC components
in afxwin.h, but does anyone know why this is causing my call to
SetDlgItemText() to stop working, and what I can do to resolve this
conflict?
Thank you,
Nik Tag: What happened to WM_HELPINFO PPC2k3/VS2k5? Tag: 106537
WM2005 Power Management
Hi
I am porting an application from PPC2003 to WM2005 devices. These are aQtek
XDA platform and an XDA EXEC platform.
I am motiroing the Power manager events and continuously get
PBT_POWERSTATUSCHANGE notifications, to such a degree that the platform
operation is slowed significantly.
BAsically, the steps i go thru are
// Recieve notifications from the power manager
msgqOpt.dwSize = sizeof(MSGQUEUEOPTIONS);
msgqOpt.dwFlags = MSGQUEUE_ALLOW_BROKEN;
msgqOpt.dwMaxMessages = 5;
msgqOpt.cbMaxMessage = sizeof(POWER_BROADCAST) + MAX_PATH;
msgqOpt.bReadAccess = TRUE;
hMsgQ = CreateMsgQueue(TEXT("messageQ"), &msgqOpt);
hPowerThread = CreateThread(0, 0, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)powerThread,
hInstance, 0, 0);
HANDLE hPwrNoti = RequestPowerNotifications(hMsgQ, POWER_NOTIFY_ALL);
and in my thread
while (TRUE)
{
dwRet = WaitForSingleObject(hMsgQ, INFINITE);
bRet = ReadMsgQueue(hMsgQ, &PwrInfo, sizeof(PwrInfo), &dwRead,
INFINITE, &dwFlags);
// continuous PBT_POWERSTATUSCHANGE seen here
}
On the PPC2003 platforms I do not have this problem.
Any ideas, also please see my posts concerning WM2005 menus not being updated.
Many thanks. Tag: What happened to WM_HELPINFO PPC2k3/VS2k5? Tag: 106532
ANN: New Entrek ProcMan 2.0 Beta
Entrek is close to releasing a major upgrade to its Entrek ProcMan tool. We
need some field testing now :)
ProcMan is a tool you run on your desktop to get information about the
software running on a Windows CE device. The information is very useful for
determining memory usage of your software, performance problems, windowing
problems, and much more. New extended information in this release includes
heap and stack size, an integrated virtual memory walker, and thread state.
There is also an integrated Windows Spy with timestamps, message cracking,
and nesting level of messages. The user interface has been overhauled to be
much more intuitive, present information more clearly, and to do
side-by-side comparisons of only the processes you are interested in.
In addition, several command line tools are now available for users that
prefer the command line interface, or who would like to automate tasks in a
batch file. These tools include starting and terminating processes, getting
a process list, resetting the target device, and setting the date or time.
The tools are most useful for product developers and testers, but can be
used by general users, too.
Please send your request to participate in this beta to beta@entrek.com. In
your request, please provide the target CPU and Windows CE version number of
the primary device you would use for testing. We will consider requests
received by February 10, 2006. The beta program closes on March 1, 2006.
To encourage your participation, we will be naming the person who gives us
the best feedback the Entrek Beta MVP. The Entrek Beta MVP will receive a
new Windows Mobile-based Portable Media Center for his or her efforts. You
will have your choice of devices currently available from Creative Zen,
Samsung, or iriver, or can decide to wait until the new version 2.0 devices
are released.
Naming the MVP will be highly subjective, but we will be considering the
number of bug reports (especially if you are the first to find it!), the
quality of the bug reports, and general feedback pertaining to the program
as a whole, supported feature set, usability, feature requests, etc.

WM2005 Menu issue
Hi
I have a ppc 2003 app that updates menu items (enabled - not-enabled and
back);
Below is a snippet
HMENU hMenu = (HMENU)SendMessage(ghwndMenuBar, SHCMBM_GETMENU, 0, 0);
EnableMenuItem(hMenu, ID_OPTIONS_SETTINGS, MF_ENABLED);
Under 2005 hMenu is returned as zero, so the EnableMenu call does nothing.
If I obtain hMenu as follows in WM2005
case WM_INITMENUPOPUP:
hMenu = reinterpret_cast<HMENU>(wParam);
return 0x00;
break;
followed by
EnableMenuItem(hMenu, ID_OPTIONS_SETTINGS, MF_ENABLED);
then the menu item is enabled, but remains grey until the menu is displayed
and closed once. The same is true for disabling a menu item once it is
enabled.
Anyone have any ideas????? Tag: What happened to WM_HELPINFO PPC2k3/VS2k5? Tag: 106521
create New Meeting using WM.5.0
how can i create a New Meeting by selecting the contact details Tag: What happened to WM_HELPINFO PPC2k3/VS2k5? Tag: 106513
I tried converting an MFC dialog-based app from eVC to 2k5, but apparently
WM_HELPINFO is no longer supported? Am I doing something wrong or has MS
decided to do away with it?
