    - can you program in c# on a pocket pc Hi. I hopefully simple question. Is it possible to write and compile a program on a pocket pc running windows 2003 mobile second edition? I do not mean write a c# program on Windows XP and then run that compiled program on a pocket pc. I would like to know if you can, entirely on your pocket pc, open up a text file, write some code, then compile it using something like csc, then execute that program - all on a windows pocket pc. If so, could you please point me to clues on how to do this, an article, the c# compiler download for pocket pc, etc? Thank you very much for your time. I do not currently own a pocket pc but am considering buying one for this purpose. Tag: How to get the current page? Tag: 87470

    - PictureBox Image Transparency Fail Hi, we are trying to create in VB.NET CF an image that acts as a button with transparency as part of it (i.e. it is a rounded button). This is created as a .gif file with a transparent mask. However when included in a PictureBox control the transparency is lost when displaying on the Pocket PC. There is a background image beneath the button which is of changing colours. (otherwise the button image exterior could be coloured the same as the background.) Thanks in advance, Richard Tag: How to get the current page? Tag: 87469

    - ActiveSync bad install dir mystery!!! I have an application that ActiveSync does not install in the correct folder when I install it in the Main memory (i.e. default location). If I select "File Store" or "SD Card", the app is correctly installed in the right installation folder (in the "File Store" or "SD Card"). The CAB file that is used contains the correct installation folder name (I checked), and when I install the app directly from the CAB file, it install in the correct folder. The problem occurs only when I use ActiveSync to install the app (and again, I checked that the CAB file that is transfered to the device by ActiveSync is the correct one). This is a mystery!!!! I suspect that ActiveSync somehow overrides the name of the application installation folder that is defined in my CAB file - and uses another one - but I cannot figure out where ActiveSync stores this information (either in the device or on the PC). I couldn't find this info in the registry on the PC. Of course, I find indication of the incorrect folder in \HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apps\<my app>\InstallDir and ...\InstlDir once the app is installed, but that's normal, as this is used to remove the app file when the app is removed. I tried to remove entirely the ActiveSync app folder on the PC (C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\<my app>) before the install, to no avail. ActiveSync stubbornly keeps installing my app in the wrong folder (i.e. not in the app folder indicated in the CAB file). Does anyone have a clue ? Tag: How to get the current page? Tag: 87468

    - Set Color of controls Hello, I have three questions referring the color of some controls: 1) Is it not possible to set the color of a scrollbar? - I tried it with vScrollBar1.BackColor but this does not work. 2) Does anybody know how I can set the color of a MessageBox? - Because I want it in that way, that notifications are in green MessageBoxes and errors in red MessageBoxes. 3) Is it possible to set the color of tabPages. I do not mean the main area - I know I can set it with the BackColor property. But I mean the little part of the tabPage where the name of the tabPage is displayed. Because this areas remains always grey although I set the color of the tab Page. Is it possible to do this? thx robert Tag: How to get the current page? Tag: 87466

    - resizing today plug-in's window Hello everybody, I need to develop the today plug-in that should dynamically resize, that is after the user has changed height in plug-in's options. Here is the code: ... LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wparam, LPARAM lparam) { PAINTSTRUCT ps; RECT rect; switch (msg) { case WM_TODAYCUSTOM_CLEARCACHE: break; case WM_TODAYCUSTOM_QUERYREFRESHCACHE: if (Refresh) { Refresh = FALSE; ((TODAYLISTITEM *)(wparam))->cyp = COptions->GetVar("height"); return TRUE; .... LRESULT WINAPI CustomItemOptionsDlgProc(HWND hDlg, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { switch (message) { case WM_INITDIALOG: myOptions=new COptionsDialog(NULL); myOptions->SubclassWindow(hDlg); .... As you can see, I subclass Options dialog to COptionsDialog class, and I've tried re-sending WM_TODAYCUSTOM_QUERYREFRESHCACHE from that dialog on it's destruct, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it allright - nothing happens? Maybe it's because I don't know what to pass as wparam (TODAYLISTITEM *!?) Tag: How to get the current page? Tag: 87464

    - Help needed with RASDIAL Greetings, I am working on a vb.net application for the pocket PC2003 and have been looking all over for sample source code which would allow me to automatically dial up an internet connection using a modem on the handheld. It would also be nice if I could programatically set up a dial up connection as well. I have spent a lot of time looking around and have not been satisfied with any controls available.

    - MAPI and MMS Looking at the code at http://www.codeproject.com/ce/SMS_CEMPI.asp I can use MAPI to send a SMS message on a HTC Typhon (Windows Mobile 2003 SE). However - I really wish to be able to send MMS messages. As the phone has a MMS client installed I assume I should be able to use it via MAPI as well. By selecting the MMS message store rather than the SMS message store and PR_ADDRTYPE to "MMS", SubmitMessage() doesn't return an error - however no MMS is sent, nor does a MMS appear in the drafts, send items or outbox folder Any ideas as to why this doesn't work?

    - SMS SMS_ADDRESS structure question Hi all, I was wondering if anyone is familiar with the SMS ADDRESS format. typedef struct sms_address_tag { SMS_ADDRESS_TYPE smsatAddressType; TCHAR ptsAddress[SMS_MAX_ADDRESS_LENGTH]; } SMS_ADDRESS, *LPSMS_ADDRESS; Members: smsatAddressType - The address type. ptsAddress - The address in string format ? for example, "127.0.0.1" or "+1.800.555.5678". The documentation says that the address can be an ip address in string dot notation format, such as "80.120.48.2." Does anyone know what it means to have an ip address as an sms address. I thought that an sms address is always a phone number. Is there a way to convert a phone number to an ip address? I wonder if the ip address is used when sending messages to a chat program such as ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, etc. How can I figure out the recipient ip address? Anybody knows?

    - Activate/Deatctivate the numeric panel Hello, I know that with the following method respectively the statements (including p/invoke the methods). But how can I switch back from the numeric panel to the normal panel with the letters? - because when i once switch with this method to the numeric panel I have to click on the 123 on the keyboard to get back to the letter panel. But when the user clicks on a textbox where he has to type in letters the keyboard should automatically back to the letter input panel. Does anybody know how that work? Below is the method for activation the numeric input panel: private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { // Show panel if it is not shown yet if ( !inputPanel1.Enabled ) { inputPanel1.Enabled = true; Application.DoEvents(); } // Ensure that keyboard and not some of the other IMs is active Guid clsidKbdIM = new Guid("{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}"); SipSetCurrentIM(clsidKbdIM.ToByteArray()); // Find the SIP window IntPtr hWnd = FindWindow("SipWndClass", null); // Go one level below as the actual SIP window is a child hWnd = GetWindow(hWnd, GW_CHILD); // Obtain its context and get a color sample // The premise here is that the numeric mode is controlled by a virtual button in the top left corner // Whenever the numeric mode is active, the button background will be of COLOR_WINDOW_TEXT IntPtr hDC = GetDC(hWnd); int pixel = GetPixel(hDC, 2, 2); // Notice that we cannot simply compare the color to the system color as the system color is 24 bit (or palette) // and the real color is dithered to 15-16 bits for most devices, so white (0xff, 0xff, 0xff) becomes // almost white (oxf8, 0xfc, 0xf8) int clrText = (SystemColors.Window.R) | (SystemColors.Window.G << 8) | (SystemColors.Window.B << 16); SetPixel(hDC, 2, 2, clrText); int pixelNew = GetPixel(hDC, 2, 2); // Restore the original pixel SetPixel(hDC, 2, 2, pixel); if ( pixel == pixelNew ) { // Simulate stylus click Message msg = Message.Create(hWnd, WM_LBUTTONDOWN, new IntPtr(1), new IntPtr(0x00090009)); MessageWindow.SendMessage(ref msg); msg = Message.Create(hWnd, WM_LBUTTONUP, new IntPtr(0), new IntPtr(0x00090009)); MessageWindow.SendMessage(ref msg); } // Free resources ReleaseDC(hWnd, hDC); } mathon Tag: How to get the current page?

    - Problem with CheckRadioButton Hi, I have a dialog that contains a group of 3 radio buttons. When the user taps on a radio button, under certain conditions, I want to disallow the change of this setting. In my handler, I am doing this: case BUTTON1: if (change_allowed()) do_additional_processing(); else { CheckRadioButton(hwnd, BUTTON1, BUTTON3, BUTTON1 + original_value); MessageBox(show error that this change is not allowed); } break; Running this code, if I tap on BUTTON1, and change_allowed returns false, I get into an infinite loop. The error message is displayed, I tap on OK, but the BUTTON1 handler gets called again, the error message is displayed again, etc. If I do the call to MessageBox before the call to CheckRadioButton, things seem to work correctly. The error message is displayed, I tap on OK, and it goes away. But if I then do something else that displays another dialog (e.g., my application's About dialog), when I return to the original screen, my error message is displayed again! For some reason, the system is sending a WM_COMMAND for BUTTON1 upon return from the other dialog. It doesn't seem to make any difference if I return 0 or 1 from the BUTTON1 handler. It also doesn't seem to help if I check or uncheck the Auto property for the buttons. I'm using EVC4 in case it matters. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? How can I show an error message and then set the radio button selection back to the original value? (I don't want to just disable the button, because I want the user to be able to tap on it and get a meaningful error message.) Thanks! E.D. Tag: How to get the current page? Tag: 87432

    - Achieving the functionality of standard control panel applets? Possible? I now understand how to create a Control Panel Applet thanks to this wonderful article: http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/controlpanelapplet.html But, I'm wondering how one can get the exact feel of a standard control panel applet (like About, or Audio, or Backlight, etc.). Let me further explain what I mean. Try this (with let's say the standard control panel applet "Clock"): 1. Start->Settings->System Tab->Clock 2. Tap Alarms Tab 3. Start->Today --- it takes you back to the Today screen 4. Start->Settings->System Tab->Clock --- It was brought up the way I last left this dialog (the Alarms tab has focus) Or to further show my point, for step 2 do this: a. Change the date (or time) b. Click the ok button (Save changes to clock settings? MsgBox appears) (continue on normally - step 3, step 4 - from above) Again, it was brought up the way I last left this dialog - with the MsgBox displayed - a MsgBox with the "Settings" title I may add (get to this later). Things to note about these "standard applets" are: 1. When the dialog appears, it still says "Settings" in the title bar. 2. You can go to the Today screen 3. There's only ever one dialog (or sheet/page). If you leave the dialog before pressing ok btn (through the Start Menu), the dialog is left in it's current state, but no longer visible until you go back to the same applet and click it again. Here's what happens for me when I create a Control Panel Applet (I'll just use a normal dialog right now, as opposed to sheet/page): 1. Dialog appears and the "Settings" title bar is changed to the caption of my dialog. 2. Try to go to Today screen, and it won't let me. 3. While my dialog is up (haven't pressed ok yet), if I go to "Start->Settings" (1st dialog now behind settings window) and tap my applet again - a 2nd dialog appears. I'll now have two different dialogs I'll have to "ok" (or 3, or 4, or 5, depending on how many times I do this) I did discover this link: http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/today_friendly_dialogs.html And I set the value to overlapped. And it did allow me to go to the Today screen. And it seems that only 1 dialog is being displayed (no matter how many times I start the dialog, don't press ok, then go to settings, repeat) But ... 1. The title still gets changed from Settings to the Caption on the dialog 2. When I go back to settings to click the applet, the dialog isn't left off where it was before I lost focus (remember, I'm going to Start->Settings instead of pressing ok on the dialog) For #1, I don't think it is as simple as the programmer chaning the caption on their dialog to "Settings" (maybe it is). I think that if it's properly coded to act exactly like a standard control panel applet, what happens is that the title doesn't change because the dialog properly becomes some type of child to the control panel settings window. Or something like that. And that link above may have at least got me to the point that I can get to the Today screen when using a dialog .. but what about sheet/page? I can't seem to find a way to get this to work with sheet/page. The Sheet class doesn't have a resource where I'm changing it to overlapped. And I did try overriding the PreCreateWindow (think that's the name) virtual function and setting cs.style to WS_OVERLAPPED. Didn't work. I tried setting the property page dialogs to overlapped - but that didn't work either. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to get this to work with Sheet/Page! How does one duplicate the standard control panel applets? What are they doing that I'm not? Is it even possible to achieve that standard? Thanks! William Campbell Tag: How to get the current page?

I want to reach that with the following code: private void inputPanel1_EnabledChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { if(this.inputPanel1.Enabled) { //subtract SIP height from tab control height this.Height=this.ClientRectangle.Height-this.inputPanel1.Bounds.Height; this.vScrollBar1.Visible=true; this.panel1.Left=-(this.vScrollBar1.Width/2); //this.panel1.Top = -200; } else { this.Height=this.ClientRectangle.Height; this.panel1.Top=0; this.vScrollBar1.Value=0; this.vScrollBar1.Visible=true; } int iCurrent=this.panel1.Height-this.Height; this.vScrollBar1.Maximum=iCurrent+((iCurrent/10)/2); this.vScrollBar1.LargeChange=iCurrent/10; this.vScrollBar1.Height=this.Height; } But this does not work....Do anybody know what went wrong here?? thx robert Tag: How to get the current page?

    - NDISUIO support on Pocket PC Can the NDISUIO protocol driver included in MS CE .NET 4.2 be used by third party applications as is to manage WiFi? My understanding is that for XP, Microsoft discourages third parties from using the NDISUIO protocol driver but it looks to me like Microsoft supports third parties using the NDISUIO protocol driver included in MS CE .NET 4.2. Is this true? Thanks, Don Tag: How to get the current page? Tag: 87388

    - evb connection failed; Com1 seems involved experimenting with evb 3 ; developing an app reading a serial port. Getting error "connection failed" while evb is trying to load the Emulator (!?); this started to happen after I set up the platform manager to use Com1 and it seems (2 experiments so far) when I have a device (digital caliper) connected to the port. Can the emulator read a device connected to the PC's port ? Is this known to work , or do I need to get a real pocket PC to test serial apps ? Tag: How to get the current page? Tag: 87385

    - where is fsmain.lib ? Hi, I am new to developing for Windows CE 4.2. I want to use file functions such as MoveFile, CopyFile etc. in my application. The eVC 4.2 help informs me that I need to link with coredll.lib and fsmain.lib. The first one, coredll.lib I found, but where is fsmain.lib ? I searched my entire disk: no fsmain.lib or fsmain.dll found. I am thinking that maybe I haven't downloaded enough... ? I downloaded eVC 4.2, service pack 4, standard sdk 420, pocket pc 2003 SDK, and emulator images (wwe). What else do I need to get fsmain.lib & dll ?

    - newbie Ok, I am trying to program for Windows Mobile 2003, 2nd edition, I have read that Embedded Visual C++ will work. However, I only know C++, and I have not found any resources that really help on Embedded Visual C++. I do know somewhat Visual Basic 6.0, is there anyway I can use that to write a fairly basic program on Windows Mobile, without having to buy the .net framework. Essentially I need a language that is close to C++ or Visual Basic that I can pick up rather fast, and design a program that is basically a lot of number crunching. PS - I know this is a basic question, but I am new to mobile applications. Thanks for any help Tag: How to get the current page? Tag: 87366

    - Hide the menubar and the SIP button Hi, I'm developing a Dialog based application. I have seen SHFullscreen and SHInitDialog methods for achieve it and it works, but I must to do it in each "OnInitDialog" and in each "W_ACTIVATE" message of each Dialog Window to hide the menubar and the SIP button (and it makes the app more slowly, all the time trying to show the menubar and then I hide it) . Is there an easy way to do this, for example, in the beginning of the application, and it's applied for all the dialogs?? Thanks in advance. Tag: How to get the current page? Tag: 87362

    - Detect the extra 512MB Sorry, if this is not the right group for my question and please point me to the right one. :) I've got an iPaq 3765 with Compaq's single slot expansion slot. From the System's Setting, the iPaq knows the expansion pack is there and using the battery from the expansion pack. However, it doesn't regonize the 512MB CF which is connected to the CardBus Adapter slided into the expansion slot. My Windows 2000 has no problem plug-and-play with the 512MB CF on a CardBus Adapter. Do I need to have a driver install for the iPAQ? If so, where to download the driver? Thanks.

    - how to feed online calendar data into PocketPC Calendar without de Question : how to synchronize online calendar data into PocketPC Calendar without personal desktop use? My objective is to transfer simple calendar data e.g. in an xml/vcalendar file format from a website directly to PocketPc outlook. Need some developerâ??s guidance as how to go by doing this and what specific technologies will be effective. Abstract Implementation thoughts in my mind right now: 1. Host a website to get calendar data from an online user; 2. Some how transfer that data online to one or more registered targeted PocketPCs; may be in XML format or Vcalendar format 3. Build some light PPC application that takes that incoming raw Calendar data and synchronizes it into the PPC Calendar. My know-how of technologies: Experience in Java/C++development New to visual studio; willing to learn .net compact framework Willing to learn C# as it is recommended for java developers Equipment at hand: Toshiba PocketPc e740 Palm Visor Pro, Palm OS v3.5 Any help/advice/suggestion will be greatly appreciated as I am new in this development area and any mobile developer advice will put me on the right track.

When I develop a standard asp.net application I can use
HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect to go to another page. In a mobile
application, I need use RedirectToMobilePage instead of Redirect. The problem
is that in an asp.net I have a static class HttpContext do access the
Redirect method, that is, whatever in the application I can redirect to
another page. I there a way, in a mobile app, where I have access to current
mobile page to access the RedirectToMobilePage method? I would like, for
example, if I am in the business layer, do a mobile redirection but I dont
have if there is a HttpContext equivalent in mobile app.
Thanks.
