    - Samples GPS Intermediate Driver Hello, I am checking out the sample for using the GPS intermediate driver from managed code that is provided in de SDK. I notice that when closing the GPS the software 'hangs' on the statement: lock (this) { if (newLocationHandle != IntPtr.Zero) { CloseHandle(newLocationHandle); newLocationHandle = IntPtr.Zero; } if (deviceStateChangedHandle != IntPtr.Zero) { CloseHandle(deviceStateChangedHandle); deviceStateChangedHandle = IntPtr.Zero; } if (stopHandle != IntPtr.Zero) { CloseHandle(stopHandle); stopHandle = IntPtr.Zero; } } It seems that the lock is never been released. How can I solve this problem? Please explain. Thnx, Dutchnomad Tag: changing autorun Tag: 122596

    - Troubles while deployin CF .Net 2.0 using autorun.exe Hi, We are providing a corporate application to our users using a storage card in which a autorun.exe is located. This autorun read a file and call several time wceload.exe to install .Net 2.0 SP1, Sql Mobile 3.0 and the app itself. This process works perfectly on a PPC 2003 device, but now, as we are changing hardware to WM5, it does not works anymore. In debug mode, I can see the CreateProcess function is correctly called using this command line : \windows\wceload.exe /noaskdest /noui /delete 0 /nouninstall "\storage card\NETCFv2.wm.armv4i.cab" When the command line is executed, the screen blinks white one time and the compact framework is not installed... The createprocess does not ouput neither any error, nor return code. What can be possible cause of this behavior ? Thanks, Steve Tag: changing autorun Tag: 122594

    - monitor the status of outgoing connections Hi, i'd like to monitor outgoing connections. I used ConnectionManager's function ConnMgrQueryDetailedStatus. This works fine when I initiate the connection directly from the device (eg by surfing the web). When I use the device as a dial up modem all connections have the status disconnected despite the open connection. Any ideas? is this something specific to my device (MDA PRO) or to Windows Mobile (WM5). Is this different in WM6? Any help appreciated.

    - C# Callback for RegistryNotifyCallback not working I have implemented a P/Invoke call in C# to RegistryNotifyCallback. Currently, the handle from the function is returning and the call seems to be successful, but the callback function is never firing. I have almost certainly made a mistake somewhere along the line and am hoping that someone can assist. The import is the following: [DllImport("aygshell.dll", EntryPoint = "RegistryNotifyCallback")] private static extern IntPtr CERegistryNotifyCallback (IntPtr hKey, string pszSubKey, string pszValueName, REGISTRYNOTIFYCALLBACK pfnRegistryNotifyCallback, uint dwUserData, ref NOTIFICATIONCONDITION pCondition, ref IntPtr phNotify); Some of the necessary items are: private const long TEMP_LONG = -2147483646; private IntPtr SN_PHONERADIOOFF_ROOT = new IntPtr(TEMP_LONG); private string SN_PHONERADIOOFF_PATH = ""; private string SN_PHONERADIOOFF_VALUE = "test"; public static REGISTRYNOTIFYCALLBACK Callback; I am aware that I may have set up the SN_PHONERADIOOFF_ROOT incorrectly, but I cannot find an example anywhere to confirm what I have done above. The call itself is the following: Callback = new REGISTRYNOTIFYCALLBACK(ConnectionCallback); NOTIFICATIONCONDITION nc = new NOTIFICATIONCONDITION(); // Create the notification hResult = CERegistryNotifyCallback(SN_PHONERADIOOFF_ROOT, SN_PHONERADIOOFF_PATH, SN_PHONERADIOOFF_VALUE, Callback, 0, ref nc, ref hNotify); if (hResult.ToInt64() != S_OK || hNotify == IntPtr.Zero) { MessageBox.Show("Error creating callback: hResult = " + hResult.ToString() + " hNotify = " + hNotify.ToString()); return; } The hResult is returning 0 and the hNotify is being set, but the callback never occurs. The rest of the stuff should be ok. If anyone can confirm or correct the above information, I would be grateful. I actually want it to monitor the connection state (and I do know where to find that) but I figured I would start by setting a test DWORD variable in the registry and see if I could get it to work with that.

    - How the built-in word completion works? Hi all, I am developing a program that does something depending on a character just before the caret. For example, if letter 'a' is before the caret, it should display a list of "About", "After", "Assume" etc. The program I am writing is a keyboard hook, so it is intended to process with any edit control in any application. Now I have a difficulty about getting the character. I am using EM_GETSEL to get the position of the caret, but there is no message for me to get the character. I only have the index of the character, so I have to get all text from it by using WM_GETTEXT, but it is not a good idea if they contain very many letters. I just want to get a special small range of the letters for not consuming much memory and cpu time. I found that the built-in word completion works smoothly for this thing, so there must be some other way to do the same thing, but I don't know how it works. Can anybody help me with my problems? Thanks in advance. Tag: changing autorun Tag: 122585

    - Probeme with CBitmapButton class Hi As per mentioned in msdn I have implemented CBitmapButton for pocket pc. but inside CBitmapButton.Autoload when it calls LoadBitmap API it is getting failed In resource script I have specified bmp as "PRINTD" BITMAP "res\\image1.bmp" "PRINTU" BITMAP "res\\image2.bmp" button is defined as CONTROL "Print",IDC_Print,"Button",BS_OWNERDRAW ,12,86,54,19 MSDN reference To include a bitmap-button control in a dialog box 1.. Create one to four bitmap images for the button. 2.. Create a dialog template with an owner-draw button positioned where you want the bitmap button. The size of the button in the template does not matter. 3.. Set the button caption to a value such as MYIMAGE and define a symbol for the button such as IDC_MYIMAGE. 4.. In your application resource script, give each image created for the button an identifier constructed by appending a letter U, D, F, or X-for up, down, focused, and disabled-to the string used for the button caption in step 3. For the button caption MYIMAGE, for example, the identifiers would be "MYIMAGEU", "MYIMAGED", "MYIMAGEF", and "MYIMAGEX". You must specify the identifier of your bitmap within double quotes. Otherwise the resource editor assigns an integer to the resource, and MFC fails when loading the image. 5.. In your application's dialog class, derived from CDialog, add a CBitmapButton member object. 6.. In the OnInitDialog routine of the CDialog object, call the AutoLoad function of the CBitmapButton object, using as parameters the control identifier of the button and the CDialog object, this pointer. To handle Windows notification messages, such as BN_CLICKED, sent by a bitmap-button control to its parent, usually a class derived from CDialog, add a message-map entry and message-handler method for each message sent to the CDialog-derived object. The notifications sent by a CBitmapButton object are the same as those sent by a CButton object. Tag: changing autorun Tag: 122568

    - xscale and armv4i - reading from a binary errors I've written a program for an xscale 4.2 device. All coding was done in eVC++ 4.0. There are a few different compile options available, armv4 and armv4i. This same program is also used on a ppc2003 device with the armv4 sdk and works great. However I'm running into errors with both the armv4 and armv4i on my xscale device. The program uses a binary configuration file to run. This file is loaded into a buffer and then navigated. On the ppc2003 we made sure to word align the binary file- everything was padded out to a word. On the xscale running in debugger I'll get to certain points when navigating the binary file and will have garbage data. I suspect it has something to do with our word alignment. The binary file is fairly basic. It has a header section and then structures of data. The structures of data will contain types and then offsets for the data itself, like DWORD type DWORD offset -> pointer to DWORD somedata What's happening is all of the sudden I'll get an offset that is complete garbage and can no longer navigate. Is this due to something with the armv4i compressing the binary file and conflicting with our word alignment? Or is it perhaps something else? Thanks for your help.

    - Audio mute when I use wireless stereo headset Hi, I use my software on HPC vs WM2005. The software intensity sends data to two devices over bluetooth COM ports. Also I use wireless stereo headset to send some voice messages from HPC to user. WAV files: 16bit 22kHz. Two Bluetooth COM port communication on 19200 bd. And often I hear audio mute while long playing sound (more than 2 seconds) is transmitted to headset. p.s. I use waveOut functions to play sound. p.s2. By the way when I output a sound on the internal speaker then everything fine. What can be the reason of that problem? Thank you. Tag: changing autorun Tag: 122564

    - best test or "typical" WM5 Pocket PC device? Hi, New to WM5 development and would like to invest in an actual device (rather than solely depend on emulators) for testing out my apps. What are some of the more popular and widely used Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC devices out there? I'd like to get a device that is pretty "standard" for WM5 features and use that as a baseline for testing my app. Of course, that can't guarantee everything, but I'd like to at least hit most things. I also understand that it really depends on the target audience, but for now, I'd like to address the "mainstream" segment that purchases PDAs for business and personal use. Since I'm asking, if anyone could also tell me what the most popular WM5 Smartphones are as well, that would be helpful too. Based on what I've seen firsthand and searching around on Google, it currently seems that: - For WM5 PPC, the Dell Axim x51v and some iPaq (can't figure out which model) are more popular. Also, I think the Treo 700W might fall here. Any suggestions from your own experience? Thanks in advance for everyone's help. Tag: changing autorun Tag: 122563

    - C#2005 using DllImport to call CeRapiInvoke I am attempting to use RAPI functions in order to put a signed DLL on the device and call a function on it to return the device type string to the desktop. Unfortunately I have been unable to actually get this to work with C#. My DLL is a C++ signed DLL with the correct signature. Currently the error I am getting when I try to invoke it is 0x8007007E 'The specified module could not be found'. The DLL code itself works just fine in a test harness, but when I attempt to call it something fails when I try to write the output to the output buffer. I believe the problem lies in the Reflection calls to DllImport rather than the actual code. The DLL Is copied to the device properly and is in the right location. Dependency walker shows that the proper externs have been created and match the required signature for CeRapiInvoke. If, when calling the code via DllImport I comment out the code that actually writes to the buffer the function returns successfully so I am reasonably confident that it is my C# DLLImport statement that is the culprit. ===== [DllImport("rapi.dll", EntryPoint = "CeRapiInvoke")]// , CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall, SetLastError = true)] private extern static Int32 internal_CeRapiInvoke( [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] string path, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] string functionName, UInt32 nBytesInInputBuffer, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray)] byte[] inputBuffer, ref UInt32 outputBufferLength, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray)] byte[] outputBuffer, IntPtr ppIRAPIStream, UInt32 reserved); public Int32 RapiInvoke(string path, string function, UInt32 inputBufferSize, byte[] inputBuffer, UInt32 outputLength, byte[] outputBuffer ) { // Apparently this only works with Native function Int32 hResults = internal_CeGetLastError(); string unicodePath = UnicodeEncoding.Unicode.GetString(UnicodeEncoding.Unicode.GetBytes(path)); string unicodeFunction = UnicodeEncoding.Unicode.GetString(UnicodeEncoding.Unicode.GetBytes(function)); Int32 results = internal_CeRapiInvoke(unicodePath, unicodeFunction, inputBufferSize, inputBuffer, ref outputLength, outputBuffer, IntPtr.Zero, 0); hResults = internal_CeGetLastError(); if (hResults != 0) Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHR(hResults); return results; } ===== byte[] outputBuffer = new byte[4]; uint outputLength = (uint)outputBuffer.Length; int results = rapi.RapiInvoke( "\\TestTickle\\GetOEMInfo.dll", "GetOEMString", 0, null, outputLength, outputBuffer); results is currently equal to -2147024770 when the function returns Does anyone have any idea what might be incorrect?

    - Painting a Progress Bar I've got an eVC4 application that downloads files. Informational messages are displayed to the User as text on the main form using OnPaint()'s CPaintDC::DrawText. This works great. I can display the User's last instruction just below the selection bar on the application's "rectangle," display progress or notes by using DT_CENTER, or display the information in status bar fashion using DT_BOTTOM. This seems to work better than using static text controls that I have to hide/show or send to the back/front whenever they are needed. Now, I'd like to include a progress bar. The list of controls available for forms in eVC4 does include a Progress control, but I would like to be able to draw one on the screen similar to the way I send text to the screen. Any thoughts or suggestions on how to do this? Preliminary idea: Create a transparent (or gray) rectangle with a black border based on a percentage of the available width, then (somehow) fill a percentage of the rectangle with yellow (my progress bar color). Finally, position it! How would I fill a portion of the rectangle (i.e. How would I fill 1/10th or 3/10ths, starting on the leftmost edge)? Is this a bad idea? Would it be too much work for the Pocket PC device, or would it be about the same amount of work done by a Progress control? Thanks for the help! Joe Tag: changing autorun Tag: 122532

    - diagnosing a bluetooth modem connection Hi all, I currently write my master's thesis in the field of diagnosis of mobile communication and did a lot of research on msdn and forums about the diagnosis possibilities in Windows and Windows mobile. Unfortunately I am still not sure if what I plan to do is technically feasible (in an acceptable period of time). OK, here's what I plan to do: In my setup a WM5 smartphone (AKU 0.1, MS Bluetooth stack) acts as a dialup modem for a laptop (running Windows XP with MS BT stack): On the PC, I'd like to monitor outgoing messages from the PC and the status of the BT stack on the PC. I want to do this independently of any application. Traffic monitoring works on a high level with winpcap (as it is TCP traffic) but I do not get outgoing traffic on the level of the Bluetooth stack. I get some status information using the functions of BluetoothAPIs.h, but I do not know what kind of connections are currently active (DUN, handsfree, ...). Information about RSSI (signal strength) and total sent/received bytes would also be valuable. On the mobile device, I'd like to monitor as well the stack status. Using RequestBluetoothNotifications, I get some basic info, but nothing about RSSI (I think this might work in WM6) and sent and received bytes. Is there any other way to get more status information out of the stack? Additionally I do not know at all if it is feasible to monitor the traffic either on the level of the BT stack or on the level of the modem. Any information about the messages that pass the modem would be really interesting, as the information about the messages (TCP sequence number, hash value, ...) could be used to synchronize events on both sides. Ideally I would want to make sure that the traffic also leaves the phone to the APN. I hope it became somehow clear what I'd like to do. I would highly appreciate if anybody (especially one of the MS people around in this forum) could give me an estimate if this is feasible at all - especially with the traffic monitoring on the mobile. And in case it is, point me to any resources or API functions that you think are useful. I would be very thankful.

And who knows how many items WM5 & WM6 devices & Smartphones will allow ! I need to make sure that if I create a Start Menu shortcut, it doesn't get automatically shifted into the Programs screen - which in my case often causes duplicated Shortcuts on the Programs screen, so I want to count how many items (*.lnk files) are currently in the Start Menu folder (\Windows\Start Menu) Mike Tag: changing autorun Tag: 122508

    - Shortcut localization Hi, I'm developping an application that is localized in a lot of language. To achieve this, I have a resource dll for each language, and this dll is dynamically loaded. Now, I want to localize the shortcut to this application. When looking for localization shortcut issues in forums, I find very interesting answer (see for instance <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http:// www.ifihadadollarforeverytimesomeonesaidthatiwouldhavemyownwebsite.com/Article/#i18n">http://www.ifihadadollarforeverytimesomeonesaidthatiwouldhavemyownwebsite.com/Article/#i18n</a> ) Basically, the two options are : created the localized shortcut during installation (but the shortcut will not be changed if the user change phone language) or write in mxip_lang.vol database to set the localized name (but application need to be in privileged mode). But, what is the best way to localized shortcut if my application is not running in privileged mode? Thanks a lot ! Jean-Christophe Tag: changing autorun Tag: 122500

    - Localization of registry Is there a standard way to localize registry key strings? On SmartPhone you can use mxip_lang.vol to localize file names and short cuts. But, is there a similar way to localize strings in registry? Probably not. Basically, I want to read out a different string from registry, depending on locale settings on device, but wondering if there's a standard way to do this so RegQueryValueEx automatically fetches the right one, without application specific code..

    - Problems setting PR_SENDER_NAME with mapi for sms messages in inbox Hi, I'm trying to create a SMS backup/restore functionality using mapi, but I'm having problems restoring the PR_SENDER_NAME, it just doesn't get set (it gets replaced with [no sender]). All the other properties all restored correctly. I found the following statement from the MSDN: The PR_SENDER_NAME property is one of the address properties for the message sender. It must be set by the outgoing transport provider, which should never propagate any previously existing values. Anyone know how to set the PR_SENDER_NAME property to a message in the SMS Inbox? -toni Tag: changing autorun Tag: 122497

    - After deinstallation of Orca, can't Install Smart Device SDKs in VS 2005 Hello I am developing for Mobile Devices with VS 2005. Now I've had installed the Beta of Orca, which really didnt work yet as expected. But yeah it's a beta. So I've uninstalled it, but now I could not use any installed Device Emulator on VS 2005 anymore. So I've uninstalled ALL components of VS 2005, all Emulators. And then I've reinstalled it all. It gives no error message, it is installing the Smart Device SDKs normally (WM 5.0 & WM 6.0), but the Emulators dont show up anymore in the Device Emulator, and I cannot select the project templates in VS 2005 anymore... Any hint how I can solve that? Thanks Sven Tag: changing autorun Tag: 122471

    - Vista, UAC, ceappmgr and custom installers Hi, I made a previous post describing a problem I was having running ceappmgr from the command-line along with an .INI file on a Vista for Business machine. This same INI file worked fine when being executed from ceappmgr on a Window 2000 or XP machine, but failed on Vista with an "invalid setup file" error. It turns out that the problem was that User Access Control (UAC) on Vista was keeping ceappmgr from running properly because ceappmgr was apparently not being elevated to Administrator level when executing (nor was Vista prompting me to give ceappmgr Admin access.) Disabling UAC fixed this problem, but I do not whant the end users of my app to have to disable UAC in order to run my installer. So this leads to this new problem: I have an MSI installer that kicks off a custom C++ installer though an MSI custom action. The custom C++ installer then kicks off ceappmgr.exe through a _wspawnl() call and passes in my install.ini file as an argument. All of this works fine when logged in as an Admin or Power User on a Windows 2000/XP machine, or on a Vista machine when UAC disabled. However, when UAC is enabled on the Vista machine (my understanding is that UAC is enabled by default) my installer fails because ceappmgr is not being elevated to the Administrator level when it is executing (even though I'm logged in as an Admin user.) When the MSI installer kicks off my custom C++ installer I am prompted for Admin elevation (which I grant) and the custom C++ installer executes fine (I assume they've been granted Admin status), but that Admin status does not seem to being passed down to ceappmgr. Btw, I've set the MSI installer's CustomAction msidbCustomActionTypeNoImpersonate bit to true, which I assume is why I'm not prompted for Admin elevation when the MSI executes (I'm only prompted when the MSI kicks off my custom installer.) Before I did this the MSI installer was failing. I read from several sources (including MSDN) that the NoImpersonate bit needed to be set in order for an MSI to run correctly on Vista, which did indeed fix that particular problem. So now, when running the MSI and looking at the processes in MS Process Viewer, my custom C++ installer is shown to be a child-process of the MSI installer and when ceappmgr gets kicked off it is shown to be a child process of my custom C++ installer. At this point I would assume that the elevation privileges I granted to the C++ installer would be passed down to ceappmgr since ceappmgr is a child-process, but apparently they're not. So the dilemma is this: UAC appears to be enabled by default and I don't want to force users to disable UAC in order to run my installer. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to have the scenario outlined above work while UAC is enabled? It would even be ok if the user needed to be prompted twice (once when the custom C++ installer is executed and once when ceappmgr kicks off.) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -Scott Tag: changing autorun Tag: 122467

    - HTC Hermes has spurious private messages bug we have just been informed that the HTC Hermes has the spurious private messages bug. i.e. the system broadcast to all applications some messages in the range [0x8000, 0xBFFF] normally reserved for application private messages (e.g. inter-thread messages private to the application). in the case of the HTC Hermes, the bogus messages that are broadcasted to applications have number 0x00008101. if an application uses private messages, this bug can cause the application to fail/misbehave/freeze/loose-data randomly. the following devices also have this firmware bug: - Samsung i-600 - Asus P525 - Asus P535 - E-Ten M500 - E-Ten M700 - O2 Xda Zinc - Motorola Q details of this firmware bug can be found here: http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=242539&st=0 Tag: changing autorun Tag: 122460

I created an old autorun.exe program for installing my apps some time ago.

Since then, I have removed that application (using Remove Programs in
Settings) and reinstalled it (Using Active Sync) with a new autorun.exe -
this one has different, more relevant messages, and the program title has
changed.

However, when my autorun.exe messages show up, they are still the old
autorun.exe messages!

How do I wipe out this old version of autorun and make sure I'm using the
current one?

it gets copied to the \Windows folder on insert (that's where it's run from,
not the actual media) - make sure it's not still there.
