 - Communication between the desktop and the emulator ? Dear All, Recently I am involved in a project about digital video monitoring. With a software called 'Digi-Watcher' and a webcam connected to my pc, when any motions captured ''Digi-Watcher' will send a alert or launch an application on my pc. Now my task is to send this alert to the emulator or launch an application in the emulator. So I want to know how many possible ways to communicate between the desktop and the emulator ? Thanks in advance !! Tag: How to adjust backlight brightness programmatically on Windows Mobile 2005 Tag: 106641

 - 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 can I make it behave itself? Cheers, Peter Royle Tag: How to adjust backlight brightness programmatically on Windows Mobile 2005 Tag: 106637

 - 16kHz sampling available on PDA? Hi, I'm currently looking for a new Mobile 5.0 PDA. None of the PDA's I found specifies that they can sample at 16 kHz. Although, the chip used, WM8750 seems to support all the audio frequencies. Do we loose the 16 kHz support only in a standard application and is it available in the API, or do we loose it altogether? When can a device be labeled PocketPC/Smartphone compliant? Where could I find the list of mandatory CE components?

 - 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.

 - Bluetooth headset support in WM 2003SE Some of the greatest minds in the world are always around Microsoft, so I'm praying someone has an answer to this. I'm fairly well experienced at making registry changes, etc., and had no problems using my BT headset with my WM 2003 (not SE) PPC, but I have since upgraded to a 2003SE PPC and am banging my head against the desk trying to get this to work. There is no such thing as impossible, so I'm sure someone has figured this out....any ideas or enlightenment would be wonderful...thanks so much Tag: How to adjust backlight brightness programmatically on Windows Mobile 2005 Tag: 106614

 - 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.

 - Issue with sending event. Hi, I am having a problem at the moment. I am updating the GDI\Rotation value in the registry on the device, but this is not actually rotating the screen. When i check the registry, it has been updated and if i perform a soft-reset, then the display gets correctly rotated. does anyone know which event i need to send, to force windows to re-read the values from the registry and therefore update ?

 - CreateFile coredll.dll freeze! Hi, I've found what I think is a bug in PocketPC 2005 that frezzes the entire device(!) I've isolated the problem to coredll.dll. I'm using CreateFile to hook up the 'COM1:' (the connector on the bottom of the device) on a hp hx2490 running PocketPC 2005. The problem occurs if I connect the com-port to my PC and start sending characters from the PC to the device and then calls CreateFile, the device freezes! Is there anyone that have had the same problem? Does anyone know how to report a bug to Microsoft?

 - 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. TIA Tag: How to adjust backlight brightness programmatically on Windows Mobile 2005 Tag: 106586

 - 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... -- Helge Jensen mailto:helge.jensen@slog.dk sip:helge.jensen@slog.dk -=> Sebastian cover-music: http://ungdomshus.nu <=- Tag: How to adjust backlight brightness programmatically on Windows Mobile 2005 Tag: 106585

 - 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. Matt Tag: How to adjust backlight brightness programmatically on Windows Mobile 2005 Tag: 106583

 - DrawIcon on VGA Hello! I have a small window that is of size 16x16 px. I also have an icon resource with two sizes: 16x16 and 32x32. On non-VGA devices, when I use DrawIcon() the 16x16 icon gets drawn and everything look good. However, as you already know, on VGA devices, WinCE resizes this window to real 32x32 pixels, and also resizes the icon, so it look pixelated. Is there a way I could draw 32x32 icon in my 16x16 (physically 32x32) window? Greetings, Esad Tag: How to adjust backlight brightness programmatically on Windows Mobile 2005 Tag: 106571

 - VS2005 remote tools do not connect, but eVC tools do Hi, I have made a custom SDK for a custom Windows CE 5.0 device. When I try to connect to this device from eVC, I am able to connect & debug & run all the remote tools. >From VS 2005, I can only connect, deploy and run the test application ( Ctrl + F5 ). I cannot debug, neither can I connect using any of the VS2005 remote tools. When I try to use the remote tools, I get an error saying "Parameter is incorrect", if I try to connect after running CMAccept.exe, otherwise 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? Also for the SDK & device I created I can see the device with 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 ActiveSync option. Thanks & regards, Neelima Tag: How to adjust backlight brightness programmatically on Windows Mobile 2005 Tag: 106558

 - 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. -- Entrek Software, Inc. www.entrek.com Tag: How to adjust backlight brightness programmatically on Windows Mobile 2005 Tag: 106529

 - VS2005 unable to debug on Wince device (Ctrl + F5 works F5 does not) Hi, I am trying to debug a simple hello world app on a Windows CE 5.0 device (custom OS), using Visual Studio 2005. I have the device connected to the PC using ActiveSync & cross cable. I can ping to the device and the PC & device are on the same subnet. When I try to debug the device I get the error message "Unable to start debugging." Deploy succeeds as specified the messages below: 1>------ Deploy started: Project: testm, Configuration: Debug STANDARDSDK_500 (ARMV4I) ------ ========== Deploy: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped ========== I have tried uninstalling & reinstalling Visual Studio 2005 & Standard SDK 5. I have also removed VS .NET 2003 from my PC. So now on VS 2005 with Standard SDK is there. I can use Ctrl + F5 and start the application. This works but F5 does not. Can some one suggest what else to try to get debugging running on the hardware. Thanks & regards, Neelima Tag: How to adjust backlight brightness programmatically on Windows Mobile 2005 Tag: 106506

 - mobile device file system access from c# (VS2005) I have been searching for a way to programmatically copy a file to/from a windows mobile device to the desktop from a WinForms program, and I have come up with nothing. My ultimate goal is the push/pull a SQL Mobile database file, since WinForms cannot access the Windows Mobile database for reading data, but can view the structure, which doesn't make sense to me. :) If there is a better way, I'm all ears or eyes, since I'm at an impasse.

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?

Regards
