    - Trouble Calling C dll from C#, data goes in, but cant get results I am trying to make a very simple app that returns a string in c#. I've seen several examples showing returning byte[] but I don't get that to work. I'll show my relevant code below. I've been trying all day to no avail. Thanks for any help or pointers to sample code that would do what I want. C# Code: [DllImport("echolib.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)] static extern void testcall(String str, ref byte[] lpData,ref uint dataLen); public int GetValueFromDLL(string keyName, ref string stringResult) { byte[] bytes = null; uint length = 200; bytes = new byte[length]; testcall(keyName,ref bytes,ref length); return 0; } C Code: #define DLLOBJECT __declspec(dllexport) char data[300]; DLLOBJECT void testcall(char* pIn,char* pOut, int * pOutLen) { int ret; pOut = &data; ret = strcpy(pOut,"THIS IS WHAT IS LOADED WITH STRCPY"); *pOutLen = strlen(pOut); } -- Peter Kellner http://peterkellner.net Tag: customize the Phone UI Tag: 102511

    - 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? Thanks, TD Tag: customize the Phone UI Tag: 102509

    - 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: customize the Phone UI 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: customize the Phone UI 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.

    - 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: customize the Phone UI Tag: 102469

    - configuration issue I already have Visual Studio 2003 and have created PPC apps. Now, I need to create a Pocket PC program for a PPC with a 640x480 screen. So I downloaded the Pocket PC 2003 SDK and the 2003 SE Emulator images, and installed both. But when I create an app and try to view it in the VGA emulator, it says my program has been created for an older version of the PPC and will not display correctly, and it does not. I see only 1/4 of the 640x480 form (although the emulator does allow me to scroll around the full form). So my basic question is, "Is it posssbile to create an app with a 640X480 screen that will display properly, using VS 2003, the PPC 2003 SDK, and the 2003 SE emulator???

    - VS 2005 emulators Hi, This issue may have been mentioned already but I can't find any references to it. I only just found it after we finally got VS2005 beta 2 stable enough to use (after trying on 4 separate systems), though we can still only deploy to the emulators by cradling them and deploying to device using activesync. Our software is currently based on using GETRAWFRAMEBUFFER and on the Embedded 4 (x86) emulator for WCE2003SE our code works - the values returned from GETRAWFRAMEBUFFER are correct (in that they give the default screen size/pitch values even when the screen has been rotated). On the 2005 emulators for both WM2003SE and WM2005 the returned values are NOT correct ! It looks like someone's half-heartedly tried to pass the rotated screen settings rather than the system default settings. Specifically on a 90 degree rotated device the width and height have been swapped so they're correct for the rotation but the pitch values are wrong. Is this just a bug on the 2005 emulators or is it a bug also on some 2003SE and 2005 devices ? Is a correct version of GETRAWFRAMEBUFFER supposed to return the default for the device or the values for the rotated screen when the display has been rotated ? bye Dave Tag: customize the Phone UI Tag: 102389

    - Visual Studio 2005 - Stepping into Statically link libraries I am unable to step into functions that are part of a statically linked library. I am using Visual Studio 2005 beta2.050215-4400 (version 8.0.50215.44) and I am building native C++ code for the Pocket PC 2003 Second edition (both Target emulator and device exhibit the same problem) My solution consists of 4 projects 3 of which are statically linked libraries and the other is the Executable. When I try to debug the solution I am able step into all functions that are part of the project where the executable is generated but I can not step into any of the functions implemented in the other 3 projects (the libs). In reality I can not step into the functions when I am steeping through displaying the C-Source code. Stepping into a function (from the lib projects) results in just stepping over it. If I change the debugger to display the assemply code and I step into such a function I am able to follow the branch into the functions. Nevertheless there is no longer C-Source code association so this is not very useful. I thought there must be something wrong with my Solution & Project configurations but I tried all that seamed relevant with no luck. I tried explicitely adding the directories of the C++ source files for my lib projects into the "Debug Source Files" configuration of the Solution. That did not help. I also tried explicitely adding the full path to the *.pdb file under the tools->Options->Debugging->Symbols but that did not help either. At this point I am left wondering whehther this is a know issue with Visual Studio 2005 & Pocket PC. In other words has anyone been able to step into functions of libraries that are statically linked into a project which targets Pocket PC 2003? If yes what do you think I should try next? It is not obvious to me what I could be doing wrong. TIA, CZ Tag: customize the Phone UI Tag: 102379

    - Video over handheld devices For viewing mpeg video files I'm using ASP.Net web pages and this works fine for a desktop IE browser. BUT, what I want to do is do the same thing using a hand held device in the CE browser. I've tried using the OBJECT tag below, but nothing shows up on the hand held device. Is there an equivalent OCX for the Hand Held devices? <OBJECT ID="Player" CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" VIEWASTEXT> <PARAM name="autoStart" value="True"> <PARAM name="URL" value="SomeMediaFile.mpg"> <PARAM name="rate" value="1"> <PARAM name="balance" value="0"> <PARAM name="enabled" value="true"> <PARAM name="enabledContextMenu" value="true"> <PARAM name="fullScreen" value="false"> <PARAM name="playCount" value="1"> <PARAM name="volume" value="100"> </OBJECT> -- Chris Davoli Tag: customize the Phone UI Tag: 102376

    - eVC++ 4.0 Hangs On my development computer I have Visual Studio 5.0 which have been using for WM 5.0 development work. I also have a need to have eVC++ 4.0 on the same computer. I have just installed eVC++ 4.0 with no problem, but when I start up eVC and try to do anything (create a new project, open one of the sample applications, etc) eVC just hands and task manager reports that it is not reponding and I have to kill the application from task manager. Anyone working with both VS 5.0 and eVC 4.0 on the same computer OK? Tag: customize the Phone UI Tag: 102375

    - Smartphone SDK Can someone confirm that if compile my application by eVC using "Smarphone 2003 SDK", then that application will run correctly under all "Smartphone 2003" devices? I'm not so sure it's so because it seems Pocket PC is a standard but Smarphone not: is it right? Mhaxx Tag: customize the Phone UI Tag: 102374

    - establish vpn connection programmatically Hi, does anybody know a solution to establish a vpn connection over gprs programmatically? Manually I could establish a vpn connection over gprs so our settings should be ok. It's not easy for me to code it myself (if it's even possible), because we use PocketBuilder and I don't know how to handle some of of the datatypes/structures which are used by the rasdial() api and the ConnMgrEstablishConnection() function, such as guid or sizeOfStructure (..). Maybe it could a workaround for me to store some settings directly via registry hacks? So, before I any longer try to code it (however) my question: Is it generally possible to establish a vpn connection via source code? How can I do this? e. g. by using a third party dll .......

    - Pocket IE Problem I Have a problem . I made a Web Page in HTML and when I raise it in Windows he Works perfect (fast). But when I see it in pocket PC takes a lot of time.. The html does not have any image or style..only HTML. I thinks that pocket IE takes time in codifying the HTML because, if I put flat text works perfect. but when I begin to put tables or fonts,gets worse. SOMEBODY HAVE SOME IDEA? Thank you so Much Miguel A. Nievas MCAD.NET Tag: customize the Phone UI Tag: 102366

    - Serial Communications and the hp2215 Hi. As a student, I am new to the world of Pocket PC development as well as embedded Windows CE development. Here is my dilemma: I have a Pocket PC which I am going to attempt to utilize as a diagnostic tool. It MUST receive RS232 (Serial) messages via the serial port (not Bluetooth and not the cradle). I have purchased a converter dongle for the HP2215 iPAQ I am using. I cannot seem to get the port to transmit/receive messages from my PC, granted I have been attempting to utilize others software because I do not know where to begin. However, I did get my PC COM ports to work. I have access to COM 1 & 2, and I know they are working because I can Tx/Rx messages using a loopback device. At this point all I am attempting to do is get the Pocket PC to recognize incoming messages - not transmit (not yet). Due to my inexperience, and attempting to learn while working, I have failed thus far. I am using a desktop PC running Windows XP and an iPAQ HP2215 running Windows CE 2003. I have access to both the eMbedded tools and Windows .NET, but I am very green when it comes to programming in .NET. If anyone would be so kind as to help me with this dilemma it would be a great help. Thanks for your time, Aaron Tag: customize the Phone UI Tag: 102362

    - Playing a Wav on a smart device with vb.net I have two declarations that work very well in a desktop vb.net app, but they will not work in my smart device app on the pocketpc 2002 emulator. I know it probably has somthing to do with incompatibilty with the .net compact framework. If you know how to play a sound in a vb.net smart device app, please let me know.

On the Smartphone 2003 it was possible to change the background bitmap
by setting
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCdial\BKBitmapFile
string value. I don't think it works on PPC though, especially on WM5
