I will explain how it works !!!!!. Follow these 4 easy steps and it WILL work !!!!!. STEP 1 : SIGN UP FOR A FREE PAYPAL ACCOUNT !!!!!. Paypal is a free and safe way to pay and receive money on the Internet. Creating a account is as easy as creating a MSN account. Copy and paste the next line in your Internet browser and sign up. HTTP://WWW.PAYPAL.COM Be sure to sign up for a FREE Premier or Business account and not for a Personal account. You cannot receive CREDITCARD payments with a Personal account and we can't have that. Do we !!!!!. STEP 2 : SENT $6 TO YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT This is your only investment to receive the money with ease. With your Paypal account, send $1 to each e-mailadres listed below. !!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!! Be sure to use this SUBJECT : *PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST* when you send the money. 1) martine@pilote.net 2) dexxatol@netcourrier.com 3) armygirl8568@hotmail.com 4) comjii@starband.net 5) sinnek@bellsouth.net 6) nsi@nelasat.com STEP 3 : PUT YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST After you have send $1 to each e-mail address, put your e-mail address on the 6th place. Remove e-mail address number 1, and move each e-mail address 1 step up the ladder. !!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!! BE SURE THAT THE E-MAIL ADDRESS YOU USE IS THE SAME AS YOU USED TO SIGN UP AT PAYPAL. Remember that this is LEGAL. You are creating a service : an e-mail servicelist. STEP 4 : UPLOAD OR COPY THIS MESSAGE TO NEWSGROUPS, FORUMS ETC AND EMAIL IT TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS! There are 32,000 newsgroups. Upload or copy this message to at least 200 newsgroups or forums etc, but ........ remember that the more your upload the more people will see your message and the MORE MONEY WILL FLOW IN. How to upload to newsgroups and forums? : After you have followed step 1,2,3 and 4, save this message (and copy so you can use it again). Use your Internet browser and Outlook Express or another newsreader and try to find FORUMS, NEWSGROUPS, BULLETIN BOARDS, DISCUSSION GROUPS, CHAT SITES and ONLINE COMMUNITIES. Use GOOGLE or use a NEWSERVER. Use every option to post this message. Download PostXpert to send 1 message to more NEWSGROUPS at the same time. !!!!! REMEMBER !!!!! The more you post this message the more MONEY WILL FLOW IN. Why does this Business program work so well !!!!!. Lets asume that from the 200 (or more) messages that you have posted, only 5 people respond, you will have your $6 back that you have invested. Those 5 people will each send at least 200 messages with your e-mailadres on number 4. That's 6 x 6 x $1 = $36. The next 25 people will also send 200 messages with your adres on number 3. That's 36 x 6 x $1 = $216. The next 216 people also send 200 messages with your name on number 2. That's 216 x 6 x $1 = $1296!. Those 1296 people again also send 200 messages with your name on number 1. That will give us a total of 1296 x 6 x $1 = $7,776. Now the last tier! 7776 x 6 x $1 = $46,656!!!!!! This is only a EXAMPLE with 6 reactions. You WILL get MORE responses than that. Remember that most newsservers will leave the posted messages on there servers for about 2 weeks. If you will post your message again, it WILL again start from the beginning. So you can repeat this over and over again. Everyday MILLIONS of people are ONLINE and reading these messages, JUST LIKE YOU RIGHT NOW. I also was sceptical in the beginning and have read a lot of these messages. I also thought that it was bullshit. Until I thought : What the hell!, only $6. What's $6 and a couple of minutes of my time to solve my money problems. !!!!! REMEMBER !!!!! Follow every step, and IT WILL WORK, TRUST ME. !!!!! !!!!! BEST WISHES AND GOOD LUCK !!!!! w)O>+;)<9UVS;F>qaGL<Uq#v`V6(F]- rM;$g+!4IIQ*827?H4 Tag: Windows Mobile 5 documentation Tag: 114444

    - Bluetooth Printer from XDAIIi (Broadcom) Hi, I am trying to send data to a Bluetooth Printer, which I have paired to a XDA IIi (Pocket PC 2003 SE) using Bluetooth Manager. Currently, I am using C# and I am able to start up the Connection between the two using SerialPort.Open (baud rate = 4800, parity bit = None, Com Port = "COM6") and this apparently works (the connection goes green in Bluetooth Manager). But - I am then attempting to send the data using SerialPort.Write with the data in a byte array or a string. The code appears to work and no exception is thrown, but the printer device shows an error indication rather than accepting the data and printing. From using the sample exe which came with the printer, i do know that it is working and can print from that device. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of stuff and can suggest what may be going wrong? Is it because the SerialPort is using the Microsoft stack rather than Broadcom??? I just presumed that if i were to write the data to that port which was already connected then that would work - but obviously not! At least the printer is indicating that it is receiving something though by showing the error! Any help would be great. Thanks! Tag: Windows Mobile 5 documentation Tag: 114443

    - OpenFileDialog for Storage Card I have used FindFirstFlashCard() and FindNextFlashCard() to locate my storage card. My WIN32_FIND_DATA structure is m_lpwfdFlashCard, and this structure's cFileName is set to "Storage Card". Now I need to learn how to retrieve a file from this storage card. Using CFileDialog, I tried this: CFileDialog dlg(TRUE, L"bmp", m_lpwfdFlashCard->cFileName, 0, L"All Files (*.*)|*.*"); But, the code will still not open to the storage card folder. Further, the only way I have found to access the storage card using the emulator device that I am running eVC4-SP4 through is to physically select the storage card icon from the Pocket PC 2003's File Explorer. What am I doing wrong? How do I tell CFileDialog that I want it to open to the Storage Card? Tag: Windows Mobile 5 documentation Tag: 114440

    - Custom Alarm Sound!! I've been trying to figure this out and have succeeded (Huzzah), so I'll share it with all. I have a Smartphone with WM5. I the really annoying and dare I say, uncreative alarm clock sounds provide with the OS. So since I can play mp3s with my Mobile Windows Media, I thought, why not make an alarm based off of it? This is how you do it: Take your mp3, and decompress it to a WAV file. You will probably have a big WAV file (my phone doesn't pack a lot of internal memory ~ 32MB I think). So, you can use the WAV compression level that the other sounds have: 11025 Hz, 16-bit, Mono. So once you recode (or down-code, haha) then make sure to copy it into the \Windows directory on your mobile device. Now, when you configure your alarm (not reminders for events, but straight up alarm clock) you can tell it that new song you just added. Voila! Have fun waking up to your favorite song!

    - any way to create a batch file? I'm running WM5 on a Cingular 8125. I'd like to create a simple executable file that would replace opening a command line window to enter: civserver -l logs.txt and then open another command line window for: civclient -l logc.txt -t trident Is there any easy way to do this? I'd imagine it's something akin to a batch file, but when I created a .bat file on my PC with those lines in it and copied it to my 8125, it didn't work (it was a longshot, but i figured i'd try it anyhow). Thanks for your advice. Tag: Windows Mobile 5 documentation Tag: 114432

    - Bug on .NET CF 2.0 ?? Hi All I have noticed what appears to be a bug during migration of a C# project from .NET 1.0 to .NET 2.0. I have an application running on a Windows Mobile 2003 SE developed with VS 2003 using .NET CF 1.0 with no problems what so ever. However recently I had to upgrade to VS 2005 and during the first load of the C# project I was asked to upgrade the project to .NET CF 2.0, hich I accepted. I was able to recompile the project in VS 2005 with no errors. HOWEVER when I deployed and ran the application I consistently got an exception: NotSupportedException No difference if I run it on a real device or on the emulator. A snippet of the code (simplified for clarity) goes like this: private void SomeWork() { TEST info; info = new TEST(Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(TEST))); ********* The NotSupportedException is thrown here } public class TEST : Struct { public int some_data; public TEST(int size) : base(size) { } } public class Struct { byte[] i_data; public Struct(int size) { i_data = new byte[size]; } } What am I missing ??

    - EDB Object Store for WM 5.0 Hello folks, I can't understand why EDB Object Store is not found in Visual Studio 2005 with WM 5.0 SDK I installed Visual Studio 2005 and then WM 5.0 SDK Then i migrated my project that was built in 2003 environment by Wizard that started to work when i chose old project file. Everything worked smooth, exept i can't compile the file with DB routines. Old functions like CeMountDBVol are said as #pragma depricated and when i change them to EDB format like CeMountDBVolEx i receive "identifier not found". I thought that may be i can set WM 5.0 SDK as Additional Include Directories in Project Property Pages for C++, but it didn't help. Configuration is set to WM 5.0 PocketPC SDK (ARMV4I). Any help will be appreciated Yours Dimitry Tag: Windows Mobile 5 documentation Tag: 114426

    - DTM_BROWSERDISPATCH not working Hi, I am trying to get the IDispatch for an HTML Control using the DTM_BROWSERDISPATCH message.

    - Visual Studio debuging native code on emulator Hi, I have a vs2005 smart device dll project. When I debug it using vs2005's debugger, I cannot see local variables in the "locals" window. Also, when stepping over lines, it often skips down to further sections of my code. Moreover, it often skips past "return;" statements like they weren't even there. This leads me to two possible explanations: 1. The vs2005 debugger does not sync up well with the device and thinks it is evaluating a statement that it really isnt. 2. The compiler rearranges the binary such that the lines get messed up. These are only guesses. Has anyone had trouble using and seen unexpected behavior from the cs2005 debuger for a windows mobile 5.0 ppc native executable? Thanks, Mike Tag: Windows Mobile 5 documentation Tag: 114416

    - Certain CABs hang on install Hello, I am creating an automatic installer for CAB files to be used on several different types of handheld devices. The program will be used to update an existing program all from the handheld with no desktop interaction. It uses CreateProcess to launch wceload with each cab as shown below: Const WAITNORM As Int32 = Int32.MaxValue Dim ExeName as String = "wceload.exe" Dim CmdLine as String = "/delete 0 " & Chr(34) & cabPath & Chr(34) Dim si(128) As Byte Dim pi As New ProcessInfo CreateProcess(ExeName, CmdLine, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, 0, 0, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, si, pi) WaitForSingleObject(pi.hThread, WAITNORM) CloseHandle(pi.hThread) CloseHandle(pi.hProcess) pi = Nothing It works perfect on Mobile 5 devices. However, some of my clients are using Pocket PC and WM2003. In both these cases, my application does not work for all my CAB files. In particular I'm having trouble with: sqlce.ppc3.arm.CAB netcf.hhp.wce4.armv4_2.04.CAB After running through the whole install, these CABs will hang when the installer reaches "Writing information for "Remove Programs"....". I've searched around quite a bit and haven't found anyone else running into this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance Greg G.

    - WM5 device vs. emulator I've been writing a new version of an app with VS2005 (before it was eVB), and I've specifically tested on 240x320 and VGA emulators, with success on both screen sizes. Problem is, as soon as I deploy the application to the device (in this case a Dell x51v with 240x320 screen) the display is not correct. For example I draw two rectangles which have a top line 2/3 down the screen, a bottom line 50 pixels below, are 50 pixels wide and flushed to left and right of the screen. I then create a HBRUSH, select it, then fill the rectangle. I've made sure I use the recommended functions to get the VERTRES and HORZRES figures so I can work out width and height, and use SCALEX and SCALEY for the other sizes. On the emulator, the screen draws correctly with a green box in the bottom left, and a blue box in bottom right. It's fine in both portrait resolutions. On the device, I never see the boxes, and I have no clue why. I am sure it's something I am doing (or not doing) and I'd be grateful for any ideas on where to look. Given the quality of display on many commercial applications, mine is very simple by comparison and I'm sure it's not that I'm trying to achieve something that is impossible. TIA, Mike.

    - HTML Control and Browse Example (Not working with Unicode) Hi, I am adapting the Browse example of the Windows Mobile 5 SDK for use in my program (sample\cpp\win32\browse), and have a problem with the HTML Control. In the example, when a link is clicked, this generates an NM_HOTSPOT notification message, which is processed to get the address of the link. However, the NM_HOTSPOT is passed the link reference as an ASCII and not a UNICODE string, so that mbstowcs must be used to convert the string to UNICODE. I need to be able get a UNICODE string of the link address straight away, as if the link has non-Roman characters (such as Japanese etc.) they do not work in the example. It would appear that the NM_HOTSPOT is passed an NM_HTMLVIEWA and not a NM_HTMLVIEWW structure. Is there any way that I can acheive this? The project file is set up to compile for UNICODE, so I cannot understand why the HTML Control is not using it. Thanks, Stefan. Tag: Windows Mobile 5 documentation Tag: 114362

    - Help: "error RC1015: cannot open include file.." when compiling resource hi, i'm using vc2005, along with the mobile 5.0 sdk to compile an app for wince using wxWidgets. i'm getting this error when compiling my resource file when i add a line to include a file from the widgets directory. in my source code, there are also includes from this directory, which the compiler finds with no problem, which i have proved by taking that directory out of the "additional include directories", and getting errors of the files not found. the file i'm including is actually in a subdirectory of the directory included in the "additional..." line, but so are other files included in the source. (just realized that and thought i should mention that). now i have a number of sample widget apps that use this same include in their resource files, and they compile ok. i have spent quite a long time now trying to figure out the difference in the project settings, and just can't see anything different that would cause this. any thoughts on this? thanks, mickm Tag: Windows Mobile 5 documentation Tag: 114357

    - Pocket PC Software - Web or Application? Hi, We need to develop a new pocket pc mobile application. We have a few bullet points as follows: 1. Web based using ASP.NET so it runs via the internet. a. Depends upon pocket pc internet speed and geographical location. How fast would the application be? b. The updates to the main database would happen in real time. 2. Local application a. No dependency on geographical location or internet availability b. Need to merge the data at the end of the day with the master database. c. Will most probably run a lot faster. The application will mainly be a stock and sales tool, with vans going to customers who can then order goods from the vans. So the questions are: 1. What is the best method to use? 2. How hard is it to sync the data if we build a local application, and how would the data be stored initially? Your thoughts are most welcome. Thanks Z. Tag: Windows Mobile 5 documentation Tag: 114356

    - CAB uninstaller question: Delay file removal until reboot. Hello: Environment: Cab wizard, Pocket Pc or SmartPhone, EVC++ 4 We have developed a plugin architecture driven system, and are having trouble with the uninstallation of one of the plugins. The main problem stems from the fact that the CAB uninstaller tries to remove a file that has been recently unloaded (and COM holds on to the DLL for about 10 minutes), and the uninstall fails because COM still has not relinquished the file. We need some way (in the INF file or otherwise) to "mark" this file so that the CAB uninstaller waits for a device reboot to delete the file. Is this even possible? Thanks for any help. Cheers!

The problem that we are encountering is that,when we install the application, the root certificates on the PDA are getting deleted (PDA settings -> Certificates). In the application, we are using an encrypted database(.sdf file),the application is not working,instead the database is getting deleted(seems like the OS is not recognizing the database). The application installation package consists of : The application,adoce 3.1 and ssce 2.0. But When I uninstall the application,these root certificates are re-appearing on the PDA. Any suggestion to resolve this will be greatly helpful. Tag: Windows Mobile 5 documentation Tag: 114324

    - DeviceResolutionAware.h bug in RelayoutDialog I just came across an interesting bug in RelayoutDialog(). In my version, this is around line 1001: for(int i = 0; i < lpTemplate->cdit; i++) { lpData = reinterpret_cast<LPBYTE>(((INT)lpData + 3) & ~3); // force to DWORD boundary. LPDLGITEMTEMPLATE lpDlgItem = reinterpret_cast <LPDLGITEMTEMPLATE>(lpData); HWND hwndCtl = ::GetDlgItem(hDlg, lpDlgItem->id); if(hwndCtl == NULL) { bRet = FALSE; continue; //<--------------BUG HERE } //....some stuff lpData += sizeof(DLGITEMTEMPLATE); LPWORD lpClass = reinterpret_cast<LPWORD>(lpData); lpData = WalkDialogData(lpData); // class //....some more stuff } As you can see, the line where I marked BUG HERE is the problem. It continues to the top of the for loop without ever walking to the next item in the dialog template, so after if fails to find an item, it will continue to try to find the same item until the for loop ends. There is another 'continue' with the same problem on line 1029. Thanks... -Jason- Tag: Windows Mobile 5 documentation Tag: 114320

    - How to change dest directory in silent mode of wceload? Hi all, I'm writing an installation program which will silently install a cab while displaying a customized bitmap, so I'll suppress wceload's UI. But I want to give the user a chance to choose where to install and use that directory as the wceload's dest directory, is it possible? I've googled and found a method that to create a value under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apps\Microsoft Application Installer\Install with the name is the path to the cab file and the value is the dest directory, but it didn't seem to work on my WM5.0 pda. Thanks for your help. Tag: Windows Mobile 5 documentation Tag: 114317

    - Identifying WAP Push SMS Hello, We're trying to test WAP Push provisioning over-the-air (OTA) via SMS by using two Windows Mobile devices - one as a sender, the other as a receiver. When the receiving device receives the provisioning message (the message just adds a new browser Favorite, and the message is unsigned), the following "Confirmation" prompt appears: "From unidentified sender: This changes device settings. Caution: unauthenticated message. Accept?" When hitting 'Yes', the Browser Favourite is created properly. Question 1: what does 'unidentified sender' mean? When sending a regular text SMS message, the receiving phone can decipher the sender's phone number, e.g. +61410022305. When receiving a WAP Push message, shouldn't the receiver know the message comes from a particular phone number? Or does 'unidentified sender' means something else. To send the provisioning message, we're using a modified version of the WDP_SMS sample code to send the message (the original code can be found in the 'Windows CE' SDK, e.g. in 'C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce500\Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone SDK\Samples\CPP\Win32\Cellcore\Wdp_sms') from the sending Windows Mobile device. Now, we've set up the WAP_ADDRESS's for the sender's number, and the receiver's number. Question 2: At present, the receiving device can only receive the provisioning message when the device is completely unlocked (we used 'unlock.xml' as attached here). We're trying to set up a Trusted Provisioning Server (TPS) and a Push Proxy Gateway (PPG) for the receiving device to accept messages from the sending device, as identified by a phone number. We tried doing this via 'WapTrustedGateway.xml' (as attached). However, the receiving device simply drops the incoming message without any prompt or messages. How do we set up the receiving device to only accept unsigned messages coming from the sending device by recognising the sender's phone number? Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, Is there any documentation describing the specific features in WM5
as opposed to Windows CE 5.0. I've been searching on MSDN but have only
found stuff on the API. For example with WincE 5.0 there is info on how to
develop a device driver, info on the features etc. Sure a lot of this
applies
to WM5 but there does not appear to be anywhere where it states exactly
which features are included with WM5 and also how to develop drivers
for the WM5 platform.

Thanks

Windows Mobile 5 is a Windows CE 5.0 platform, so most Windows CE 5.0
functions are supported by Windows Mobile 5.0 (you can see support
information at the bottom of function description in MSDN). Windows Mobile 5
introduces some APIs that are not available in Windows CE 5.0. In MSDN go to
"Mobile and Embedded Development->Windows Mobile->Windows Mobile 5.0" to
find some Windows Mobile 5.0 specific information.
