    - CheckBox? Hi everybody! I'm experiencing some problems concerning CheckBox controls (evc++ 4.0, using MFC - dialog based), as described below... All advices are most appreciated! Thanks and greetz to all! PROBLEM: I've made a CPropertySheet object with couple of CPropertyPage variables attached to it (with dialogs of course)...

    - .NET Framwrok Version I have a Dell Axim X50v running Windows PCP 2003 SE. I have an application that was written for Windows PPC 2003 SE using .NET Compact Framework 1.1. Using the release candidate of Visual Studio 2005 and .NET Compact Framework 2.0 Beta I converted the application and it is running correctly under the Mobile 5 emulator. I installed the Dell Mobile 5 upgrade on the X50v and when I try running the application there it tells me that the "... device requires a newer version of the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework than the version installed on the device.:" (I thought Mobile 5 included .NET Compact Framework 2.0?) What is the correction of this problem. -- -- Thom Little -- www.tlanet.net -- Thom Little Associates, Ltd. -- Tag: custom Uninstall from ce.net device Tag: 102624

    - Notification bubble with several buttons. Hi there, I have written a program that notifies the user of some event (caught SMS in this case) by the means of the notification bubble provided on Pocket PC 2003. This all works fine and several options can be given to the user through the HTML form passed in the 'text' property. However, it seems that the form need to be posted for the program to know the user selected an option (by clicking on a button). And so far I have not been able to get that to work for any other button than the 'submit' button of the form (even by using onClick="this.form.submit()"). Does anyone have an idea on how to create a multi button form that will trigger the ResponseSubmittedEvent? Thanks a lot in advance. Luc Tag: custom Uninstall from ce.net device Tag: 102622

    - Code signing pcmcia drivers Hello, We've been having some problems with our PCMCIA driver since the leap to Mobile 5.0. We now suspect it might be related to the new security features of Mobile 5.0. It is currently not signed, however it appears to load fine when the card is inserted and we also are receiving a valid handle when we call CreateFile and success when we call WriteFile. Nothing is streaming to or from the port though. We are beginning to think that our driver has 'partial trust' status and is not being able to access some API's. Is this possible? Is there a way to verify this? Another quick question regarding code signing: What am I suppose to do during development when I compile and test my PCMCIA driver 50 times a day on the target device? It could get very costly and time consuming to sign code each time you wanted to test something on the target hardware. Thomas Tag: custom Uninstall from ce.net device Tag: 102599

    - VGA emulator and VB.Net I am using VS 2003, Pocket PC 2003 SDK, 2003 SE emulator, and VB.net. I created a simple 640x480 form with a text box to display the screen width, and am trying to display it in the VGA Landscape emulator. When it displays in the emulator, it shows only one-quarter of the form (with scroll bars automatically added to see the rest of the form), and the textbox shows that the screen width is 320 instead of the expected 640. How can I get the emulator to start with a 640x480 screen? I have read numerous posts about similar problems but did not find any solution for VB.Net and the emulator. Thanks.

    - Need to debug over ActiveSync (USB), not wireless Hello, I have an iPAQ (PPC 2003se) with USB ActiveSync, which also connects to our network via 802.11b. I have not set up ActiveSync over wireless. I'm having trouble getting a web services client to work in VS.NET. It works in the emulator, but not on the iPAQ, so I'm trying to figure out if the wireless connection is part of the problem. What I'd like to do is run it in debug on the iPAQ, using only the wired ActiveSync USB connection. But with the radio off on the iPAQ, even though it's connected via ActiveSync, I can't deploy or debug. I've looked through this group and through VS help, but I can't figure out how to configure the device in VS so it will use the wired ActiveSync connection for debugging. I'm sure this must be possible -- any ideas anyone? Thanks, Dave Overbeck Tag: custom Uninstall from ce.net device Tag: 102594

    - Mobile Equivalent of Enum.Parse? In my WinForms app I'm loading a value from an XML file and converting it to an Enum type I have called "ProductID". Here's the line of code I've used to accomplish that: SysInfo.Data.Admin.ProductID = (DataObjects.Constants.ProductID) Enum.Parse(typeof(DataObjects.Constants.ProductID), table.Rows[0]["ProductID"].ToString(), true); One of the key things here is the use of 'Enum.Parse'. I'm now tryng to do something similar in my Pocket PC app but I discovered that Enum.Parse does not exist in the Compact Framework. So I'm wondering how I could accomplish this. In essence, I'm trying to convert a string to an Enum type. -- Robert W. Vancouver, BC www.mwtech.com Tag: custom Uninstall from ce.net device Tag: 102563

    - PCMCIA stream driver with Mobile 5.0 problem Hello, We developed a PCMCIA stream driver a couple years ago and it was working just fine with 2002 and mobile 2003. We just got the Axim X51 with Mobile 5.0 and we appear to be having problems with the PCMCIA interface. After playing around with the registry keys I finally got my driver to load properly, and it appears to be returning a proper handle when I call CreateFile. Also the WriteFile returns successful, however there is no pin stimulation on the CF port when I look at it on the logic analyzer. Also another thing I noticed is that when you plug any type of card in to the X51 the CF port stays powered. It never use to be like this. What has changed that is not allowing me to talk to the port? Is anyone having to redo there PCMCIA drivers for Mobile 5.0? Thomas Tag: custom Uninstall from ce.net device Tag: 102552

This method costs some CPU resource even the while loop check it every one second. Is there any better way to do this? like getting a message or what when pIE or pWord become foreground window or at least get a message when foreground window changes then I can go check it if it's pIE at that time.

    - ActiveSync and USB client - Moble 5.0 vs. Pocket PC 2003 Hi, I'm trying to rewrite an application from Pocket PC 2003 to Mobile 5 that uses USB to ActiveSync. There are been some major differences. . . For PocketPC based PDAs (Compaq 3*, HP 55*, ASUS MyPal) we used a driver that offers serial communication via USB. It is found in the registry on [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Drivers/BuiltIn/USB] and referred to in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Drivers/Active] which shows if the driver is activated. The driver is in the file bvd_udc_ser.dll In Mobile 5 the driver used by ActiveSync is in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Drivers/BuiltIn/usbfndrv], which means that it is not a pure "stream driver" (with the pre-fix COM). This is a problem for us since the Pocket PC driver is deleted. The driver "usbfndrv" is visible in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Drivers/Active] in the registry We hope that it is possible to activate the driver [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Drivers/USB/FunctionDrivers/Serial_Class] that is in Mobile 5. The problem it that it does not seem to be in the platform build. (since it is not in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Drivers/BuiltIn]). The dll that it wants to use is named "serialusbfn.dll" but we do not know if it is in the OS-build. Where can we find "serialusbfn.dll" and do we have to deactivate "usbfndrv" (there is OS call)? Or, can we use the "usbfndrv" API directly to build something like a "stream driver"? Best regards, /hf Tag: custom Uninstall from ce.net device Tag: 102527

    - Many questions regarding development of applications I am new to developing database applications for the PocketPC OS. I have been reading some of the topics on the newsgroups and have formed questions I hope this group can answer. I know my clients will be purchasing the Dell Axim X51 handheld which will be running Windows Mobile 5. I have MS Visual Studio .Net 2003 Professional and would like to use it to develop a "Smart Device Application" that would collect data to be transferred back and forth to an MS Access 2003 desktop database program. My questions are these: 1. Will an application developed with Visual Studio .Net 2003 Professional still run correctly on Windows Mobile 5? 2. Will Windows Mobile 5 still have support for Pocket Access (.cdb)? 3. If Windows Mobile 5 does not have support for Pocket Access (.cdb) then if I use SQLCE is there a simple way to transfer the data from my "Smart Device Application" to the MS Access 2003 program on the desktop. The user of my application will not have SQL Server to interact with SQLCE. 4. Will/Does the final release of Active Sync 4.x support .cdb files?

    - managed vs native I am in the process of starting a new application targeting Mobile 5.0. Creating an managed C# application seems like a nice way to go since it is primarily a GUI application. However, I am not certain about the support of certain APIs in an managed application. For example, I would like to use EDB for data storage but all the information I have found on it is for an C++/native application; no mention of how to use it in a managed project. Also, I would need the ability to take in digital signatures done with a stylus. It would seem simple enough to use DirectDraw for drawing and saving the result as a image. However, I am not certain of the managed support for that. Would it be better to use a native project instead of an managed project? As you can see, I am pretty new with Mobile development so I would appreciate any insights. Thanks. Tag: custom Uninstall from ce.net device Tag: 102502

    - Can I ( how do I ) do the requested PDA programming project? I have been asked to consider doing a PDA based programming project, and since this is a new area of development for me I was hoping someone could tell me if what I am being asked to do is possible etc. Over all project description: This is a data capture application, think of it as an ongoing survey. Every so often ( several time a day ) the PDA needs to 'wake up', play a sound to notify the user, then ask the user a series of multiple choice, true/false type questions. Next after a few days the PDA will be brought to a location for the data to be dumped into a laptop/desktop system for data analysis. This is for a 'medical' research study, the idea is to ask how the subject is feeling etc so we can see how the treatment is working. There is of course all kinds of details like data encryption, data storage etc. but those tasks I feel that I am capable of handling. My developmen status: While I have been developing for 25+ years, for the last ~15 years I have been doing mostly Visual FoxPro ( or it's earlier versions ). I have recently been learning .Net and C# but I am a beginner at best with it. OOP and general programming skills I am advance at, so I will be doing lots of what is the command to 'X'. Furthermore I have never owned and only play very limitedly with PDAs of any type. My Questions: a) Is my assumption that using 2003 .net ( or even the 2005 beta .net ) will allow me to 'easily' program a pocket PC based PDA b) Can the application wake up every so often to alert the user? I'm thinking that for power management reason it would have to power down for a while. Maybe PDAs can run for a week with out having to shut down. I expect a weeks is about the time lapse between data dumps. The again the PDAs will most likely be recharged each nght. Side question if some other application is running on the PDA ( There should not be, but lets be prepared ) can this application keep running in the background and come forward to get it's survey questions answered. c) Since this application is the only thing that needs to run on this PDA, what is the least expensive model that I should purchase. ( This project might need up to 80 PDAs ) d) Should I consider other PDAs and Oss like Palm? Would this result in significant hardware/software costs reductions. e) Is there anything obvious that I missed? Thank you so much for your time. __________________ Anthony T.

    - Get device unique identifier by assembly? Hi, I need to write an app that reads a device's unique identifier. It seems that Intel XScale processors each do not have a unique processor ID. However, from Windows Mobiles 5.0, there's a function called GetDeviceUniqueID. I guess this function is implemented by OEM to read a custom hardware register made by the OEM. I need to read this register by assembly. Anyone knows how to do it? Thanks sincerely, ARINTEL Tag: custom Uninstall from ce.net device Tag: 102492

    - Ambitious project - comments? I have about two months of free time coming up and I want to wade into a programming project I've been thinking about for awhile. Before I say what I want to do, however, let me say what I have now as background. I've written an app for my iPAQ 1910's & 1930's that we use here in my business. It's an OOP Win32 C++ non-MFC app developed with eVC3.0. It uses ADOCE3.1 to interface with an Access DB (CDB) file. This Access file transfers to and from my desktop system via ActiveSync 3.8.0. On the Desktop, I interface with the Access DB (MDB) file via the Microsoft Office 2002 Access program and some VBA code I've written. Also, my desktop Access file is transferred out to my website where I've written ASP code that allows users to search my database to see what I have in stock. All of this works OK. But, there are parts of it that are a pain. For example, only one copy of my DB can be the 'live' copy at a time. Moving the 'live' Access DB file to the Desktop causes my desktop's version to loose its Primary Record Keys and to forget its Relationships. And, as I'm not the world's best VBA programmer, the tools I've developed on the Desktop end are a bit rough whereas the stuff I've written on the iPAQ side does precisely what I want because I've programmed Windows Win32 OOP C++ for years. So, this is what I'm thinking: --------------------------------- (1) Goal: Replace Access on the PPC side with SQLce. Assumption: I'll still be able to use ADOCE3.1 to interface with the new SQLce DB from my current code. Advantages: I've heard that SQLce is a better tool on the iPAQ. (2) Goal: Replace ActiveSync transfers via USB with my own custom TCP/IP code transfers via 802.11b. Assumption: None that I know of other than that I'm capable of doing this (I've done some network programming). Advantages: With full control over all details of the sync process, I'll be able to merge DB changes made on anyone of several PPCs with the desktop DB smoothly. These syncs will be able to automatically happen whenever a PPC is within range of the Desktop's AP. The Desktop version of the Access DB will stop losing its Primary Record Keys and forgetting its Relationships because I'll be updating it record by record in-place rather than replacing it wholesale with a copy from the PPC. (3) Goal: Cease using the Microsoft Office 2002 Access program and the VBA tools I've developed to interface with the DB on the desktop end. Replace these with a Windows OOP Win32 C++ non-MFC app of my own creation that uses ADO to interface to the desktop Access DB. Assumption: None that I know of. Advantages: This will allow me to interface with the desktop Access file exactly as I want to. (4) Goal: Because I'll be writing a Win32 OOP C++ non-MFC app on the desktop side, it will be able to serve both as the sync master coordinator and as my interface to the desktop version of the DB. Assumption: None that I know of other than that I'll need to have a good grip on coding multiple threads of execution (which I do). Advantages: A single point of interface on the desktop end customized as I want. (5) Goal: Stay with PPC code development using eVC3.0 rather than upgrading to later development environments. Assumption: That I can do everything I want on the PPC end with my existing eVC3.0 and ADOCE3.1 tools. Advantages: I understand this stuff well now and I don't know of anything in the later development environments that I really need. (6) Goal: Stay with VC++6.0 on the desktop side rather than upgrading to later development environments. Assumption: That I can do everything I want on the desktop end using my existing VC++6.0 tools. Advantages: I understand this stuff well now and I don't know of anything in the later development environments that I really need. ------------------------------------ That's it. There's a lot of parts to this idea and I'm looking for folks to poke holes in it if they can so I don't have to discover oversights the hard way later. Thanks in advance, Dennis Gallagher www.woodscreeknursery.com Tag: custom Uninstall from ce.net device Tag: 102476

    - Final Word. Hello, I would like a Final Word on ActiveX support on PPC2003SE. I've been trying to get a vendorâ??s .NET DLL wrapped into an ActiveX DLL that I can instantiate when I invoke a webpage from Pocket IE, but Iâ??m running into nothing but problems. I can write a simple standalone application in VB.NET that will use the vendorâ??s DLL just fine. Wrapping it up is kicking my A$$. OK. Final Word! Does ActiveX work on PPC2003SE pocket IE? Do we still call it Pocket IE? HTTP_USER_AGENT, on the handheld reports: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows CE; PPC; 240x320) Thank You -Kicked Tag: custom Uninstall from ce.net device Tag: 102470

    - Questions: WM 5.0 and ActiveSync 4.0: how to control how often it syncs? With my new Dell Axim X51, ActiveSync 4.0 appears to sync every 5 minutes or so even though the only desktop ActiveSync provider configured is my own. The ActiveSync Tools => Schedule... menu item is greyed out in the desktop ActiveSync. Question: For WM 5.0 and ActiveSync 4.0, is there anyway to programatically set how often my desktop ActiveSync provider is automatically initiated by ActiveSync? Question: Is there anyway to enable the ActiveSync desktop Tools => "Schedule..." menu item, and use this same dialog box for my own desktop ActiveSync provider? Question: Is there anyway for my code to know when a sync is initiated automatically versus when the end-user clicks on the desktop ActiveSync "Sync" button? Question: Are there any related registry settings for controlling how often ActiveSync 4.0 syncs for a WM 5.0 device? Thanks. Tag: custom Uninstall from ce.net device Tag: 102469

    - Wrong datetime.now? => .NET CF 2 (VB.NET) Hi I am using .NET CF 2 with VB.NET (VS 2005 beta 2) and if I am using datetime.now I get the wrong time! If it's 10:00 I get 8:00 (Always 2 hours wrong) It's because I live 1 hour from GMT and we have summer time... But why doesn't he get the right time?! Why doesn't he read the time that's on the device?! Is there any fix for it? Thanks Sven Tag: custom Uninstall from ce.net device Tag: 102461

Hi All,

Development environment:
eVc4.

I am a bit confused on how to handle a ce.net (device) uninstall for my
custom setup.dll.

The reason for confusion is that with an Windows Mobile (non .net device)
the path (pszInstallDir) returned by:
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) codeUNINSTALL_INIT Uninstall_Init(HWND
hpar, LPCTSTR pszInstallDir)

Is the correct install directory location ie \Storage Card\Program
Files\MyApp\

However, with ce.net, pszInstallDir returns \Windows\AppMgr\MyApp.DLL

I don't understand why this string would be returned and how do I deal with
it?

cheers
Bryce
