    - Accessing serial port via .net CF Hi, I'm using a compaq iPAQ 3760 running Pocket PC 2002 (Version 3.0.11171 Build 11178). I had a .net 1.1 application reunning on it (ALthough I built in in Visial studio 2005). I'm using CFSerialClass.dll to access the serial port. However I cant find documentation and none of the methods are even commented so its a bit of a black box. Does anyone use this or know where to get get API docs? I'm ms released their own to support serial stuff in 1.1 would I be just better of using this? Thanks, Ian Tag: How to display a gif over a map in a picturebox Tag: 107485

    - MSMQ on PPC 2003 emulator Hi, I'm having difficulty getting MSMQ to work on the PPC 2003 emulator with VS 2005. In trying to get it to work, I've followed various guides (mostly republications of the same two or three on different sites), with no luck. Each time, although visadm looks as though everything's installed ok, checking the status always returns "DISCONNECTED". This is happening with the emulator set to either DMA or TCP transport. Steps I'm taking to install are: * Set name of PPC device * Copy MSMQ dlls & exes to the Windows directory * Run Visadm -- Install -- Register -- Verify -- Reset OS I've also tried creating a cab file that puts the files in the right place and sets up most of the registry settings (as per ch 8 in Pro MSMQ: Microsoft Message Queue Programming) with the same result. Am I missing some vital step in the install, or could there be something going wrong between the emulator and my PC OS (WinXP SP2)? Thanks in advance, Adam Tag: How to display a gif over a map in a picturebox Tag: 107481

    - Emulator newbie question Hi, I think this is a stupid question (I'm a very newbie in compact framework developing), but .... it's one day I'm trying to understand/solve my problem. I want to create a simple application to make my emulator communicate with a server. The first thing I want to do, is to configure the emulator (in my example a Pocket PC 2003 SE) to connect with my system. I have followed this steps on the emulator: . created/configured a VPN (as all terminals of my office network) . configured the proxy (the same) . from IE searched the URL of a local web page An error message tell me that I'have not configured neither a modem nor a network card, but when I try do make this configurations, it always ask me a telephone number and I can not understand what is the number requested. I thinked to emulate a bluetooth connection but this device is not present in the emulator and I'm not able to create a new one. I'm sure I misunderstood something (in Italy whe say "I'm pissing out"). Can someone help me? Thanks Tag: How to display a gif over a map in a picturebox Tag: 107477

    - Installing app on imate I have a CF application that easily installs on the Dell Axim Pocket PC, but could not get to install on an IMATE phone/pda. Kept complaining about invalid setup file. Tried running CAB on the imate and also using the MSI generated by the Visual Studio build process, but failed both ways. I started doubting that it had an ARM4 processor, so I tried all the other CAB types. None worked. Can someone tell me what I can do to solve this problem? thanks, jpan Tag: How to display a gif over a map in a picturebox Tag: 107467

    - Bluetooth serial profile: remote port negotiation (RPN) I have developed an application, which talks to a BT serial port device, which adapts a real physical serial port with a PDA via BT. This app. has to run on PDA's with Broadcom/Widcomm stack and also with Microsoft's stack. Question: Is RPN implemented on both stacks? In other words, when I change the serial communication parameters of the virtual COM port on the PDA, does the stack transfers this to my BT type II device, that it can also change the parameters on its physical side? At least, it is described in the BT serial profile spec. Thanks a lot. Mike Tag: How to display a gif over a map in a picturebox Tag: 107461

    - Pocket IE document problem Hi I am writing a Browser Helper Object (BHO) for IE on Windows Mobile 5.0 platform. The BHO tries to inject some text into the text fields in an HTML page (say injecting the username into the user name field on the web page). In the desktop IE environment, we make use of the IHTMLDocument2 interface to query for the HTML content. Refer to msdn article http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwebgen/html/bho.asp for more details. However, in the Pocket PC environment, it seems IHTMLDocument2 interface is not available for use. I developed the mobile device application in Visual Studio 2005 with Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK installed. In my application, I tried to include "mshtml.h" file (which is necessary for using IHTMLDocument2 interface), but VS said that "cannot open include file mshtml.h". I thus checked the directories that VS searched for the header file, and I could not find "mshtml.h" file there either. My questions are: 1) Is "IHTMLDocument2" interface supported in Windows Mobile 5.0? FYI: in the msdn article http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/browser/mshtml/reference/ifaces/document2/document2.asp , it says the minimum OS version for IHTMLDocument2 is Windows CE 2.12 and Windows 95, so I suspect it should be supported in Windows Mobile 5.0 also. But why I could not use it? 2) If supported, why couldn't I use them in my VS 5.0 and include the mshtml.h file? What are the possible problems? Is my SDK installed wrongly? 3) If not supported, what are the other alternatives I should use to manipulate the HTML document in the webpage? (what are the functions or interfaces or libraries I should use). Thanks Regards JT Tag: How to display a gif over a map in a picturebox Tag: 107453

    - eVB dll API Hi! I have two functions in eVC++ dll which use file scope static variables. Both functions were debugged in bare eVC++ debugger (eVC 3.0) and were ok. When called from eVB 3.0, first funtion worked ok and stored values to those static variables. Second function, did not see any of stored or initialized data. Variables vere in non-initilized state for some reason. So calls from eVB seems to be somehow different as calls from eVC++. I thougth that maybe VB calls functions as different processes, so I made a shared memory area, which should be common for all instances of that dll, but that did not help. Any idea of what could be the broblem with eVB dll calls? I also have had broblems returning siple eVC++ integer variables to eVB as integers. I can catc a variable from eVB integer table taken as ByRef parameter using the fist table item as the table reference, but the accessed integer cannot be returned back to eVB either as return value nor put to a referenced table directly by assignment. Compare http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q106553 Is there any way to debug a dll using eVB as dll calling exe in eVC++ debugger? js Tag: How to display a gif over a map in a picturebox Tag: 107443

    - Done Button Reverts to Smart Minimize When a full-screen dialog box is initialized with the SHIDIF_DONEBUTTON flag set, then the smart-minimize "x" changes to "OK", and generates a WM_COMMAND, IDOK when tapped, which is what I want. However, while this dialog box is up, if another application is started from the Start Menu, and then I want to return to my application, the brief second instance of my application realizes that the first instance is running, and it calls SetForegroundWindow on the first instance and then exits, leaving the first instance back in control. So the dialog box comes back, but somehow the "OK" in the upper right has now reverted to the smart-minimize "X", and it acts that way too. Why is my "OK" disappearing and what can I do to keep it there? By the way, a similar thing happens when one dialog box invokes another dialog box. If the first dialog box had SHIDIF_DONEBUTTON set, then after the second dialog box closes and the first dialog box is back in control, the "OK" has once again reverted to "X". How can I make the "OK" stick? Robert Scott Ypsilanti, Michigan Tag: How to display a gif over a map in a picturebox Tag: 107433

    - VS2005: Big Problem about ComboCtrl in MFC8.0 There is a very simple program, with nothing but a combobox, based on SDI. The problem is when you click "Drop" button of a combobox, it can show the dropdown list, but when you try to scroll the list, or click any other position in dropdown list, the list will disappear! So, I means you can't control scroll bar......(when you click on scrollbar, the dropdown list goes disappear) P.S. The way to create such a sample program for test: 1. Open VS2005 IDE, Create a Visual C++ SmartDevice Application. 2. Choose Pocket PC 2003 SDK, SDI, Use MFC in a static library 3. Add a combobox in Resource. 4. Write some simple code, to add items in the combobox 5. Build it, and try! Tag: How to display a gif over a map in a picturebox Tag: 107430

    - Registry data lost during re-installation (WM5) After trying out WM5, I discovered something very distressing. Installing a new version of a program automatically removes all registry settings for that program before the new version is installed. This is distressing because I had been using the registry to keep track of many user options, and some calibration data that the user took some trouble to create. Is this true or all registry values, or only the ones under HKLM/Software? Is there somewhere else in the registry where I should store this kind of information? Or must I resort to using ordinary files? Robert Scott Ypsilanti, Michigan Tag: How to display a gif over a map in a picturebox Tag: 107416

    - Repost : MPEG video Streaming on Windows CE This is the information which I found after carrying heavy search in google groups and websites.. I'm developing one application for video streaming ie one MPEG file which is on webserver I've to run it on emulator of Windows CE5.0. The following tools I'm using ... 1) EVC++4.0 2) Platform Builder 5.0 (for design OS) 3) Windows CE standard sdk 5.0 During search I found one more sdk...from mpegTV website ie (mtvp-sdk-wince3.0-1.2.2-1 and mtvp-sdk-wince-0.1) this is contain a sample code for pocket pc 2002 and 2003) Which is not working properly with windows cE 5.0 OS . You will find in google groups itself I've put lots of queries regarding media player and video streaming from this you can guess how much I've been wandering to achieve my purpose....So thinking abt the new software engineer who will going to start this application can get good help...I'm putting this question like discussion.... After everal searches this wht I found: 1) Windows Media Player dosen't support Mpeg2 format on windows CE OS. (from some groups query I came to know that windows Media player 10 seriese supports it but it is only available in latest mobile devices not on emulator). So next option is directshow method. 2) for MPEG video streaming i have use directshow method. Again in this method I need some filters. For particularly MPEG I have to concentrate on transform filter which is responsible for decoding. I've searched MPEG decoder but still some doubt. Can desktop filter work for windows CE platform. if not then I again have to go for desiging the OS or, mpeg4 will enough for this purpose which allready there in widows ce OS? 3) Suppose I found the mpeg codecs then how to use..I didn't find any proper documents or good sample code so that i can study and make my own application. 3) If i plan to purchase a thrid party control (activex)..for this pupose. can anyone suggest me where i can find demo version of that control because I have to make demo applicatoin to show my client and then only i can purchase that control. morever I don't have any physical device so the control should work well with emulator.. Please share your knowledge not only for me for all the software engineers who are struggling and wandering for these things...

    - Pocket PC and Hardware Buttons I hope this isn't a dumb question but then again, I haven't found much on this topic anywhere on the web. I'm writing a Java app for a pocket pc using J9 and SWT and I want to use one of the six hardware buttons on my HP IPaq (I forget the model but its one of the latest ones with WinCE 5.0). Anyway, there isn't anything out there except that its a type under SWT...specifically SWT.HARDKEYUP or SWT.HARDKEYDOWN that can be used in a untyped listener. I tried writing code to monitor a hardware key being pressed and with the exception of getting one event trigger, I have not been able to get anything from any of the buttons. This event, without a mask, should trigger regardless of which button I push. Does anyone have any SWT experience using the hardware buttons on a pocket pc? Any help here would be great! Thanks!

    - Accessing Pocket Outlook Database for backup/restore functionality Hey hey :) We're trying to make a backup solution for Pocket PCs running .NET CF. We're currently spiking backing up and restoring SMSes. The MAPI seems to provide no functionality to restore messages, although it has some create message functionality, properties like sender are read-only. MAPI33 doesn't seem to help us either. What we basically want is to backup all SMSes, and give the opportunity to restore them, should the device lose power, be stolen, or something equally annoying. What we're thinking now, if indeed we are right (are we?) in assuming this is not possible via the (Extended) MAPI, perhaps we can access the underlying database which actually holds the SMS data, and retrieve/insert fields here. Is this at all possible, and if so, is it possible via managed C# code, or does a managed wrapper exist?

    - .NET Check if server is up... Hi all! I am connection to a webservice using .NET CF. That's working ok but if the connection fails or if the server is down, sometimes I get no error message, it just keeps trying to connect and I cannot abort it... I tried to set Timeout, but that doesnt solve the problem What I now want to do is to first check if I can reach the server before connecting to is! On Desktop I used this code to do something similar: Try Dim w As New Net.WebClient Dim sr As New IO.StreamReader(w.OpenRead(http://www.server.com/file.txt)) sr.Close() w.Dispose() Catch err As Exception Msgbox("No Connection") End Try That was for getting infos from a file if available... But in .NET CF there is no Net.Webclient Anyone knows how I can check if the server is online or not? Thanks Dan Tag: How to display a gif over a map in a picturebox Tag: 107374

    - UCHAR problem Hello The problem i have is this : i want to use the following structure in a DLL that i created: typedef struct _NDIS_802_11_SSID { ULONG SsidLength; UCHAR Ssid [32]; } NDIS_802_11_SSID, *PNDIS_802_11_SSID; and i want to take the UCHAR Ssid[32] field and copy in it a certain variable.I've tried the following ways : NDIS_802_11_SSID Data; _tcsncpy((TCHAR *)Data.Ssid, mySSID, 32); strncpy((char *)pData.m_SSID.Ssid, mySSID, 32); if i display it like this it works : MessageBox(NULL, Data.Ssid, L"", MB_OK); and it displays ok : "EXAMPLE". If i pass this as a parameter to a function like this : void X (NDIS_802_11_SSID Data) and call this function from C# the recieved string is "E\0X\0A\0\M\0P\0\L\0E\0".We solved this problem also by using a for loop like this for (j=0; j<32 ; j=j+2) but if we have a larger string that i want to put in UCHAR Ssid[32]; it will not retain only 15chars because of the "\0" insertion after each char.I believe that the problem is in the conversions i'm makeing above, and how i store the data (with the TCHAR * and char * conversions). Is there a function to copy from one UCHAR[32] to another UCHAR[32] without conversions? The mySSID parameter is taken as a parameter: void y(UCHAR mySSID[32]) ,but in the body of the function it is seen as UCHAR[] and i can't use this : Data.Ssid = mySSID (error because UCHAR[32] <---> UCHAR[]) That's it. Hope you can help me in some way. Thank you.Bye Tag: How to display a gif over a map in a picturebox Tag: 107371

    - lineGetOperatorStatus() hangs the system Hi, I am developing an application for pocket PC. In my application I have created a secondary thread in which I am calling lineGetOperator() TAPI function to get list of operators in my area. However I have noticed one thing that although I am calling this API in secondary thread, but this API takes usually 12 to 15 sec or more and during this time the whole system hangs (not just my application). Can anyone please tell me what is wrong? Is this something inherent in this API or am I missing something? Thanks, Arsalan Tag: How to display a gif over a map in a picturebox Tag: 107370

    - What is the limit to the size of a POST into the pocketHTTP server I have a locally hosted page that captures a signature. I convert the bitmap into base.bin64 and it's length is 3386. I then split the text into 4 blocks and assign the text to a hidden input objects and submit the form. I read the size limit for a post was 128K and 1024 per name and value pair, so that approach should work but it's not. If I reduce the size down to 4 blocks of 50 characters, it works. Obviously I am going to need more than 200 characters though. Does anyone know the limits for a form POST on the Pocket PC? Any suggestions? I don't want to change the platform for the app (ie. going to .Net) Everything is working except this last page. Tag: How to display a gif over a map in a picturebox Tag: 107367

    - Getting TZ changes to affect the CPL Anyone have any idea how to get a TimeZone change done via code to be reflected in the Control Panel? What I'm doing: - Setting the TimeZone via managed code (though same happens with native) call to SetTimeZoneInformation How I know it works: - I get get the set value back when I call GetTimeZoneInformation or when I query the HKLM\Time\TimezoneInformation reg key What I've tried: - Calling the API - Sending a WM_SETTINGCHANGE broadcast after changing it The UI in the CPL does update properly on a CE 4.2 device and the CE 5.0 emulator. Unfortunately the customer is using PPC 02. Any ideas? -Chris Tag: How to display a gif over a map in a picturebox Tag: 107363
