    - Pocket PC emulator redistribution I'd like to put a Pocket PC emulator on someone else's computer and run my Compact Framework app inside the emulator. I'd rather not install Visual Studio .NET on the other computer. Is it possible to just install a PPC emulator without installing Visual Studio? What is the best way to do this? Do I need to do a separate build of my CF app for the X86 platform to run on an emulator? Tag: develop for windows CE 4.20 on pockectpc 2003 Tag: 72865

    - How do I automatically SyncNow from the PocketPC Device ? Is there any way to perform a programmed ActiveSync SyncNow from a Device side program ? I know I can initiate /Syncnow from the Desktop side, the problem is we are using a WLAN, not the cradle, so this will not perform a remote sync. I can programmably launch ActiveSync from a Device side Programme, but it then sits there waiting for the operator to hit the Manual Sync button ! dohh Why is there no API for the Device side ActiveSync ! - It really does limit the development of "Pick Up and Go" Applications.

    - Multi Threads and messages boxes Hi all I have an evc4 application that runs on two/three threads. The main one and the 'scanning' one and a printing one The 'scanning' thread sits waiting for data from the serial port and when it gets some it checks is the data 'correct' and if it is save/display if not show an error. This all works fine. There is a loop in the thread which runs 'forever' untill a global var is change to false by the main thread. I now whish to ask a question and await user response before proceding. At the moment this MessageBox is 'buried' deep in the scanning loop. I've also tried it 'outside' the scanning loop but within that scanning thread.Restarting the scanning loop after the question has been answered. The problem is that when the question is on the screen if data comes in on the port it is ignored ... fair enough this is ok .... but after the loop has restarted the data is still 'ignored' ? Has anyone else done any work with WaitCommEvent and messageboxes ? I'm sure I'm doing something wrong as I am new to C programming. I've paseted my readthread code at the base of this message incase it helps explain things ! ;) One important point if NO data is received whilst the messagebox is onscreen then after the question has been answered the program works correctly.

    - XML between SQL Server and SQL Server CE over Internet We're going to have PocketPCs out in the field, connected to the server at HQ over the internet through GPRS. It is assumed that they'll be connected only some of the time, so each has a client VB.NET app and SQL Server CE. When some important configuration data (the structure of a survey) - held in the central SQL Server - is modified at HQ, I want those changes to be transmitted to the PocketPCs by XML. I don't want to use replication or RDA, because we're committed to sending the results back in XML format. How can this be implemented? I want the PocketPCs to receive XML with the survey structure. At that point I can get it into the local SQL Server CE database - I reckon it would be quicker during the bulk of the application's stuff to use a database instead of messing around with accessing XML data at run-time. But when the chages are made at the server, how can this trigger the transmission of the XML, and what happens if some of the PocketPCs are not connected? Can I do it so that they'll queue until the devices come online? Well, thankis for reading all that - hope somebody can point me in the right direction.

    - CE_RXOVER flag I have a problem with RS-232 serial port (COM1) on PocketPC (ARM) - GetCommProperties(..) function returns strange results: maximum input buffer size (dwMaxRxQueue) is 1 byte! Current input buffer size (dwCurrentRxQueue) is 0, and it's impossible to set another buffer size using SetupComm(..) - buffer size remains zero bytes. So I guess it's impossible to receive any data. Even ClearCommError(..) function says the error flag CE_RXOVER is set (1). And it doesn't matter - whether the cable is attached (cbInQue = 1) or not (cbInQue = 0). By the way, everything is OK under Desktop PocketPC Emulation (x86) on Win2000 with the device attched to COM1. Device - PocketPC iPAQ 3760. Non standart using of RTS (always 0) and DTR (always 1) signals. I am using another thread for reading data (checking for data to arrive with WaitCommEvent(..) function). So, what's the solution? How should I receive data? Incidental questions: 1. What's the difference between CE_OVERRUN and CE_RXOVER flags (ClearCommError(..) function)? 2. Why there is no problem with ActiveSync while using the same cable and PDA? 3. I can NOT set user-defined baudrates in spite of the information given by GetCommProperties function. I can set only standard baudrates, otherwise it remains the same (or 9600) while no error is returned. So may be there is a problem with a driver or particular device? 4. What port number should I use - COM1 or COM2? Both opens and "works" (at least I can send data and receive them on the other end). 5. May be it's somehow related to USB? How can I send and receive data (using USB-Host on PDA is more interesting)? Briefly. Waiting for your reply, Andry. Tag: develop for windows CE 4.20 on pockectpc 2003 Tag: 72834

    - TcpDelAckTicks for PPC Does the tcpdelackTicks registry work for CE? it says it does, but I can't get it to work. When NOT using activesync, I copy a file to the PPC and I see the PPC do a ACK for generally every other packet, just as it is documented. BUT when doing Activesync copy to the PPC, the PPC will only ack at EVERY .2s interval. So if you change the Windowsize registry to 1460 (the MSS), you will get 1 packet for every .2s, or 7k / second >>>> slow. I don't know why activesync is making the tcp behave so differently. I also see in the SYN packet, the it doesn't use the TimeStamp options, that it does when I use the other file copy. Not sure if this relates?? I see documentation that Win2000 need a patch to get TCPDELACKTICKS to work, but nothing regarding CE. Any imput would be great. Mike Tag: develop for windows CE 4.20 on pockectpc 2003 Tag: 72832

    - Need a serial port Hi, We wrote some software for handhelds in eVB (And that was fun...) for use within our business. All worked fine with handhelds available then such as the Jornada. Our software uses the serial port to communicate with other equipment. We are looking to upgrade to later handhelds, but these all seem to be coming out with USB only interfaces. Can anyone suggest how we work around this? We cannot use USB because the equipment we connect the handhelds to only has RS232 serial available. USB / serial adapters we have looked at are for PC's and have associated installation software (And would be a bulky mobile setup anyway). Getting touch with manufacturers is hopeless. There may even be serial connection available, just not promoted. We are looking at the Dell Axim or IPAQ specifically, probably the Dell based on price. Thanks in advance.

    - Releasing a Connection Manager connection in PocketPC 2003 Hello, I am trying to use ConnMgrReleaseConnection to close a connection that I establish with ConnMgrEstablishConnectionSync. On PocketPC 2002, this causes the connection to close, but on PPC 2003, the connection stays open. I don't want to go through the trouble of using RasHangUp, especially since I don't want to close the connection out from under anyone else that's using the connectoid at the moment. On PPC 2002, the system just kept a ref-count and closed the connection once all programs using it called ConnMgrReleaseConnection. It may be that the connection just isn't meant to be closed in the new OS, but doesn't that cost people money if they're paying for connection time? The reason I mention this point is that when you click on the little connection icon in the title bar, the bubble that pops up doesn't have any "Disconnect" button like it did in PPC 2002. (Note, however, that the Connection Manager "Help" pages about "ending a connection" refer to a "Disconnect" button.....) Any thoughts???

    - How do we perfom automatic Syncs with ActiveSync ? Hello, We are developing a C# "Pick up and Go" PDA Application. This requires a WLAN Active Sync to be scheduled once a day. We have used HP's IPAQUtil libraries to open/close the WLAN connection. And we have OpenNETCF WinAPI to Launch ActiveSync at a Time of day. The problem is that ActiveSync just sits there, waiting for the user to manually hit the Sync Button ! There is an ActiveSync API under MSDN, but there does not seem any way to automate the Synchronisation itself. ( We do not want a continous periodic synchronisation.

Does anyone know if one of these has some kind of API to change the display properties programmatically? I don't want to force the user to run his PPC always in Landscape mode, and I don't want the user have to change things manually evertime he or she uses my App. I want to switch to Landscape Mode as soon as my Application starts, and return to normal mode when its closed. Maybe it could even be switched when my App looses focus, though I don't think that this is possoble due to the reset that the drivers often need to change screen orientation.

    - AddRootCert for PPC 2003 Hi, I have a version of AddRootCert for PPC 2002 but I can't find a version for PPC 2003. Does anyone know if a 2003 version exists? If yes, where can I get it? If no, is there some other way to install a Web Server certificate generated by Windows Server 2003 Certificate Server?

    - CeCreateProcess gives 193 I am trying to activate an eVB program from within another eVB application using CeCreateProcess. Example : CeCreateProcess("\Program Files\System One\StartOSS.vb", "", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) The process fails with error 193 - <StartOSS.vb> is not a valid application." All the documentation examples I've seen refer to ".exe" programs, so maybe you cannot start a ".vb" program this way. Any ideas how to start a ".vb" program within another eVB program.

    - Newbie using CCeDBDatabase, Assertion failed! AppName: File wcedb.cpp, Line 901 Hi, I am a seasoned C++ writer with very little knowledge of Databases I am trying to use the simplest database construct in MFC. I just want to load stuff into a database at the beggining of the application then be able to query it for stuff during the applications lifetime. It looked like CCeDBDatabase was the easiest since there is an example that comes with MFC. I am using Pocket PC 2002. I have written the code below and the 1st "if" clause can't create the database. I have declared the database in the ".h" file. When I comment the 1st "if" clause out. I get an error: Assertion Failed! AppName: File wcedb.cpp, Line 901 In short, I don't know the right syntax to make sure the database is created and ready to accept records and be queried. What am I doing wrong? A small Database initialization code will be appreciated. Adolph. (My code below | ) \/ CCeDBDatabase database; //Declared in the ".h" file //in the ".cpp" file CEOID poid; //defining the database sort properties CCeDBProp SortProps[2] = { CCeDBProp( CCeDBProp::Type_String, PROP_FIRSTNAME, CCeDBProp::Sort_Ascending | CCeDBProp::Sort_CaseInsensitive ), CCeDBProp( CCeDBProp::Type_String, PROP_LASTNAME, CCeDBProp::Sort_Ascending | CCeDBProp::Sort_CaseInsensitive ) }; if( !( poid = database.Create( dataBaseName, DB_IDENT_PEOPLE, 2, SortProps ) ) ) { CString temp; temp.Format( _T( "Could not create database: %s" ), dataBaseName ); AfxMessageBox( temp ); return FALSE; } else { // Add records CCeDBRecord rec; CCeDBProp props[2]; etc. .. } Tag: develop for windows CE 4.20 on pockectpc 2003 Tag: 72763

    - Activate a program from within eVB Using eVB3.0 and an iPAQ PPC is there a way to activate a program from another eVB program. In some systems you can do the following : WinExec('Notepad'), 0); and Notepad will pop-up on the screen. Regards Ed Tag: develop for windows CE 4.20 on pockectpc 2003 Tag: 72762

    - Data components on form instead of in code I'm making a pocket pc application and using this as a guide: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnroad/ html/road08272002.asp I can connect to SQL server fine but I was wondering if it isn't possible to put a SqlConnection and SQLCommand and ... on the form (visual) instead of needing to create is all in code? Is this possible for Pocket PC? The components are all grayed out although I'm using them in code. -- Kind regards, Stijn Verrept. Tag: develop for windows CE 4.20 on pockectpc 2003 Tag: 72761

it's possible develop software for PocketPC 2003 (with
SO Version WINDOWS CE 4.20) installing some plug-in?
(if yes, what?)

Bye and thanks a lot.

What you need to develop applications for PocketPC 2003 is Visual Studio.NET
2003. See also this FAQ:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/prodtechinfo/devtools/netcf/faq/default.aspx#1.2.

Another option would be making use of embedded Visual C++ 4.0. This product
is available for download here:
