    - embedded visual tools does not fire events anymore I have developed an application using embedded visual basic 3. it works prefectly ... then I exchange some data from a server using a winsocket... When the communication ends (8K of data data exchanged), the application becomes weird... after a while, when I click on a command nothing happens...nor listbox, grid... no one *_click event works. The app stop to respond. I have to reset the palm. I use a different form to exchange data, and after the data exchange the "hourglass mousepointer" remain always visible (rotating) there are no loops... so the program cannot be in a loop. any suggestion? thanks Tag: from Embedded Visual Basic to .net 2005 Tag: 127905

    - Auto Update Apps created w/ VS2005 Our first mobile app is in use widespread on both pocketpc2003 and windows mobile5.0. Now when a change is made I must track down all of the devices and re-deploy to each one. I would like to find a solution to auto-updating these apps. I know that others may have done so and I still consider myself a newbie to the VB.NET....so I am asking for some assistance in pointing me to the direction I need. -- Message posted via http://www.pocketpcjunkies.com Tag: from Embedded Visual Basic to .net 2005 Tag: 127899

    - Problem with Virtual COM for Bluetooth Hi, I have develop my own server & client over bluetooth using normal virtual com port for windows mobile 6.0 device .There is a server already running one the device and client on other device, Now,i need to transfer data from client to server. step at server end as follow: 1: Register Device with PORTEMUPortParams pp; pp.channel = RFCOMM_CHANNEL_MULTIPLE; pp.flocal = TRUE; pp.uiportflags = 0; 2: after that,Open port using CreateFile. 3. used DeviceIoControl with IOCTL_BLUETOOTH_GET_RFCOMM_CHANNEL. 4.after that register service on server with particular GUID. 5.ConfigurePort with value BaudRate=CBR_9600, ByteSize = 8,, fParity = true , Parity = , EVENPARITY ; StopBits = ONESTOPBIT; 6.SetCommunicationTimeouts with value ReadIntervalTimeout = MAXWORD, ReadTotalTimeoutMultiplier =0, ReadTotalTimeoutConstant=0, WriteTotalTimeoutMultiplier=10, WriteTotalTimeoutConstant =1000; 7:at create one thread for reading data.. ReadFile(hDevOpen,szBuffer, 999, &dwBytesRead, NULL); Step at Client is follow: 1: Register Device with PORTEMUPortParams pp; pp.channel = 0; pp.flocal = FALSE; pp.device = btaddr;; pp.uuidService = GUID; pp.uiportflags = 0; 2: after that,Open port using CreateFile. 3. used DeviceIoControl with IOCTL_BLUETOOTH_GET_PEER_DEVICE. 4.ConfigurePort with value BaudRate=CBR_9600, ByteSize = 8,, fParity = true , Parity = , EVENPARITY ; StopBits = ONESTOPBIT; 5.SetCommunicationTimeouts with value ReadIntervalTimeout = MAXWORD, ReadTotalTimeoutMultiplier =0, ReadTotalTimeoutConstant=0, WriteTotalTimeoutMultiplier=10, WriteTotalTimeoutConstant =1000; 7:at create one thread for writing data.. WriteFile(hDevOpen, &cBuffer, dwSize, &dwWritten, NULL); Now the problem is that, i got succes for WriteFile at client with dwSize & dwWritten is same. But at Server end i got succes for ReadFile with any value means dwBytesRead is equal to zero and no data in szBuffer. What am i doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated..

    - GetOpenFileName bug on WM 6.1 Standard (Smartphone) it's a good thing that now GetOpenFileName works on Smartphones (it was completely broken on Smartphone until WM 6.1). however there is an ennoying bug: when lpstrInitialDir is specified in the OPENFILENAME structure, GetOpenFileName should open the specified folder. on WM 6.1 Smartphones, it seems to open always the "\My Documents" folder, even when lpstrInitialDir is set to "\Storage Card", for example. this is particularly ennoying when the files to open are located on a Storage Card. it requires navication by the user, i.e. Menu, select "Storage Card"... Microsoft people (or MVP), please log a bug report on this. we hope this one will be fixed so that the Smartphone version works as well as the Pocket PC (WM Professional) version. thanks!

    - Dynamically change MenuBar Softkey to button or menu Hi all, I use the SHCreateMenubar to create a menubar on Smartphone. The first softkey is defined to a button(TBSTYLE_BUTTON), and the second is defined to a drop-down menu(TBSTYLE_DROPDOWN). Now I want to change softkey2 to a button in my program, I can use DestroyMenu to destroy the drop-down menu, but i still can't receive the command when user press the softkey2. so, how can I dynamically change the drop-down menu to a button?

    - Deflect Focus? I don't want my application's main window to ever have the focus until it determines that it needs it. The effect I'm after is kind of like a splash screen that appears but doesn't take the focus away from the current application and does not receive the focus if that application is closed. What's the proper way to deflect the focus that comes to it automatically so that the next available application gets the focus? Thanks! Tag: from Embedded Visual Basic to .net 2005 Tag: 127891

    - memory leak in inbox or SDK sample? Hi, i was examining the TV_Inbox sample and i find out that in some circumstances the IMailRuleClient or CRuleClient doesnt get freed. I was wondering if this is by desing,this is bug in inbox,in sample,and how to avoid it,as for me it is important to get this interface released! the case is if just IMailRuleClient is initialized and called(ie you get a message),everything is then normal,ie it gets released when for example you kill mail box by end tasking it. But if a custom form is being displayed(clicking on new message to display it),then just CFormProvider gets released and the ruleclient doesnt,and dll unloads. I was thinking maybe it is related to "Free" threading model of this com?and if because it implements two different classes and objects,it is caused by that? i am no expert in com, so? thanks Tag: from Embedded Visual Basic to .net 2005 Tag: 127890

    - Disable Event Sound For Splash Screen Hello, When I change the registry keys at [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Splash Screen\MSTimeout]( & CarrierTimeout) to values that will allow multiple splash screens to display ie. MSTimeout = 750 CarrierTimeout = 10000 I get the expected result ie. MSBitmap Displayed - Carrier Bitmap Displayed - MSBitmap Overlayed however.. when my phone(or the emulator) boots a System Event Sound(Alarm2.wav I believe) is played whenever Carrier Bitmap is first displayed. I can stop the sound behavior by unchecking "Events (warnings, system events)" in "Sounds & Notifications" in the control panel but this is not the desired solution. I would like to be able to disable the sound for that specific event, but if need be i would settle for being able to uncheck the Events box programatically through a registry setting or some other means. Are either of these options available? Ive been digging through the registry like crazy but I can't seem to find specific Thanks in advance DrewG Tag: from Embedded Visual Basic to .net 2005 Tag: 127885

    - WVC1 in Windows Media Player Mobile 10.3 I am trying to stream a feed that has both an audio and video stream. The audio is encoded in windows media 9.1 and the video is encoded in the microsoft advanced format vc-1 (WVC1). Windows media player mobile 10.3 plays the audio fine but it never shows the video. When viewing the properties of the stream it is able to decifer exactly the codecs of each stream. Is VC-1 not supported in 10.3 or is there a way to add support in windows mobile 6. Or is there a more updated windows media player mobile that i do not have. Thx Michael Tag: from Embedded Visual Basic to .net 2005 Tag: 127882

    - Re: HTC Touch (P3450) adjust backlight intensity/brightness I am not able to adjust the backlight for my P3450 running WM6. I'm adjusting "BrightNess" and "ACBrightNess" in the registry "HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight" successfully. I then try to update the display using the "BackLightChangedEvent" but nothing is happening. The event seems to be fired up because "int test = SetEvent(hBackLightEvent);" returns 1, but still the display is not changing. This approach apparently works for some devices (as i gathered from a quick google) but does not seem to work for my HTC Touch. I would like to be able to change the display brightness depending on ambient light. Thanks in advance for any help. Tag: from Embedded Visual Basic to .net 2005 Tag: 127871

I have tried to find out the this solution for a while but still not able to get answer. I have tried the "connections", but still cannot configure the CE5.0 to send data over wifi first if both on. After reboot, sometime it go through wifi, and sometime go through gprs when both on.

    - MS Stack, pairing no services Hello everyone, Did not see any Bluetooth forums hope others leaving Widcomm for Microsoft stack have had this issue. I can pair devices but no services are picked up? My Motorola S9's have two services, one for hands free and another for headset - neither are found so I have a paired device which does not work. Right clicking on the the blue icon in the sys tray and selecting send a file works! I chose my HTC Touch and a file and presto the file is sent. There are no services for this device ether (Touch). I downloaded inthehand Bluetooth library and am able to list all devices paired - and of course 0 services for all devices. I have removed my dongle and drivers, rebooted etc, to know avail - pairing and no services found, every time?! Most websites with a Microsoft stack issues report no activity at all.

    - Windows Mobile 6 Classic / Windows CE 5.0 problem with USB to UART I'm currently developing a .NET CF 2.0 program to interface to USB sensor. It is using the USBExpress CP2102 device from Silicon Labs (http://www.silabs.com) and I've come across an issue with their driver for Windows CE5. I canâ??t read from the device, yet I'm able to wite data out of the device. What concerns me most is that I purchased a FTDI evaluation board to test and it had the same problem! I did have to use pinvoke to call the driverâ??s API dll. Yet I also tried their native C examples from the USB bridge vendors, and tried using the example applications to determine the problem. Has anyone heard of a similar issue, or know of some setting in Windows Mobile 6 / Windows CE 5.0 that could be preventing the driver from reading data from the USB to uart bridge? Since it has happened with more than one bridge/chipsets I'm thinking it must be a windows CE issue/security setting. I spent the better half of the past two day tiring to get a hold of MS tech support with little success. I've been hung-up on twice and the online form doesn't accept my PID for the device and sends me to a page to pay ~$260 for support. I do have two MSDN support tickets, yet when clicking the support link on MSDN I get sent to the same page that rejects my PID and wants me to pay ~$260 again... Since I've been unable to figure out how to use my support incidents, I'm using this as my last hope of finding a solution to this problem. Tag: from Embedded Visual Basic to .net 2005 Tag: 127864

    - OpenNetCF randomly becomes unavailable on Windows Mobile 6 Hello, I have built a PocketPC application that has dependencies on OpenNETCF 1.4. I've built the OpenNET DLLs into my CAB for distribution and everything works well and installs well on WM2003, and WM5. On Windows Mobile 6, everything installs fine and my application launches after installation. However, if I reboot the PocketPC then launch my application again, I lose my connection with OpenNETCF and receive the following error: File or assembly name 'OpenNETCF, Version=1.4.50804.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30C767B29D52D6E6', or one of its dependencies, was not found. Now, the strangest thing about all of this is that this failure seems to be inconsistent. Sometimes it never fails at all, but I can manage to make it fail about 70% of the time. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong in my CAB INF, if OpenNETCF 1.4 is inconsistent on this platform, or what, but I have deployed many PocketPC apps in the past and have never seen this behavior. Any help or clues anyone can give would be *most* appreciated. Thanks, Larry King Human Interface Engineer Tag: from Embedded Visual Basic to .net 2005 Tag: 127863

    - Windows CE cab file web deployment I am wondering if there is a way to deploy an MFC ActiveX control via the web to devices running Windows CE. My inf file which I referenced with CabWiz while generating the cab file is below. In my HTML page, I use an Object tag to reference the control. My object tag looks like this (where classid is the real classid, and the codebase url is a real location for the cab file): <object id="ActiveXControlName" classid="clsid: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" codebase="http://LocationOf/ ActiveXControlNameInstall.cab#version=1,0,0,0"> </object> We can assume that the site the web page resides on is a trusted site in the user's browser, and that unsigned ActiveX control will result in a prompt. Basically, if the ActiveX control is not registered on the Windows CE device, I would like user to be prompted to install the cab file on each page visit. If the ActiveX control is registered on the device, but the version number of the registered control is older than the version number specified in the codebase, I would like the user to be prompted to update the control by installing the cab file. If the ActiveX control is registered on the device, and the version number of the registered control is the same or newer than the version number specified in the codebase, the control will render as normal. Here is my inf file, with the Provider and AppName fields changed to fake values: [Version] Signature = "$Windows NT$" Provider = "CompanyName" CESignature = "$Windows CE$" [CEStrings] AppName="ActiveXControlName" InstallDir=%CE2%\ [Strings] sh3_cpu = 10003 sh4_cpu = 10005 mips_cpu = 4000 strongarm_cpu = 2577 armcpu = 1824 [CEDevice] ; valid for Windows CE 4.1 - 5.0 VersionMin = 4.1 VersionMax = 5.0 [DefaultInstall] CopyFiles = Files.Windows CESelfRegister = ActiveXControlName.ocx [SourceDisksNames] 1 = ,"Common files",,.

I can get email addresses stored in my contacts, however, when I use the built in ContactDialog() window to select a user from the company exchange server, I have an error thrown. here is my code: It blows up when I try to access the information for the contact I pulled down from the server.... private void mnuSend_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { EmailAccount MainAccount = AppSession.EmailAccounts[0]; EmailMessage myMsg = new EmailMessage(); ChooseContactDialog myContactDialog = new ChooseContactDialog(); string contactname, myAddress; Contact SelContact; myContactDialog.Title = "select user to send message:"; myMsg.CC.Add(new Recipient("first.last@company.com")); myMsg.Subject = "Test message from Mobile phone"; myMsg.BodyText = "This is the body of the message"; myContactDialog.EnableGlobalAddressListLookup = true; while ((myContactDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)) { contactname = myContactDialog.SelectedContactName; MessageBox.Show("Contactname=" + contactname); //This much works! SelContact = myContactDialog.SelectedContact; MessageBox.Show("About to try to access the Email1Address"); //The following line throws an exception MessageBox.Show("SelContact.email1address = " + SelContact.Email1Address); } MainAccount.Send(myMsg); MessageBox.Show("Message sent"); } Tag: from Embedded Visual Basic to .net 2005 Tag: 127853

    - Custom font problem on Windows Mobile Hi, I am a beginner in Windows programming and currently building a Windows Mobile 5.0/6.0 application that is dependent on a custom TrueType font I created. The custom font is mapped to Unicode characters and the font file resides in the application folder under Program Files. I've read through MSDN Library and installed my font as instructed here http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms901090.aspx . Implementation was successful and my program displayed the custom font correctly with no issues. You can download and view my custom font file from the link below. http://project.ionized.googlepages.com/PDCDefault.zip Now the problem is that some specific non-related programs on the Pocket PC device start using my custom font once AddFontResource function is called. The affected programs will display squares instead of characters, thus rendering them useless. Not all programs exhibit this behavior though. The same font corruption can be reproduced if I copy my custom font into the \Windows\Fonts folder and reset the device. Copying the custom font into \Windows\ folder may work in some but not all cases. I am also refraining from adopting the latter methods because extra steps are required to unregister and remove fonts from the Windows or Fonts folders. Examples of such problematic programs are HTC Cube, HTC Comm Manager, KaiserTweak and Windows Mobile's very own screen alignment program. I think these programs were using system font (Tahoma) before my custom font is installed. Before custom font is installed: http://project.ionized.googlepages.com/before.png After custom font is installed: http://project.ionized.googlepages.com/after.png Iâ??ve searched many places and one of the common workarounds I found was to copy another Microsoft TrueType font like Verdana into the Windows folder. Somehow, the problematic programs would choose Verdana over custom fonts but this is not a guaranteed fix. The other solution was to rename the custom font family name to begin with the letter Z because somebody mentioned that fonts are loaded in alphabetical order(?). This did not work for me however. I could not find any official solutions on Microsoft site regarding this problem. So, my questions are: 1. Why do other programs use my custom font? 2. How does Windows Mobile determine which font gets priority over system font? 3. What can I do to prevent other programs from using my custom font? I've totally ran out of ideas on how to implement custom fonts now. Any suggestions or insights will be much appreciated. Thank you.

    - Wireless Zero Configuration compliant Device Good day, all participants, I would like to buy a device, either a Smartphone or Pocket PC. I want to use OpenNetCF or Wireless Zero Configuration to retrieve wifi signal strength. I know that if a device is not WZC compliant, then we cannot use WZC. Although I heard from our good man, Mr. Chris Tacke that many devices are WZC compliant, I still want to make sure that I got the right device. Hence, for anyone who owns a device with WZC compatible, can you share that information and experience with us here? Thanks to @sid, we know that HTC TyTN II is WZC compliant. Are there more devices?

    - CabWiz Does anyone have good instructions for configuring a CabWiz INI file? I used CabWiz once before, and it took me a long time to get the INI file to work. Now, a couple of years later, I need to do it again, and I'd rather not spend all that time banging my head against the wall with CabWiz. I just need an installer that registers my "single exe" program with Add/Remove Programs, drops a shortcut onto the PPC desktop, and adds the program to the Start menu. Thanks!

    - One app instance only reactivation issues Hi, I have a fullscreen dialog based app and *almost* have the "one instance only" stuff working - with one caveat.. Say I have my app showing either a pop-up dialog or a messagebox. The user then decides to navigate top the home screen. The app disappears as expected. He then reactivates the app by clicking on its icon. It is reactivated but just shows the base dialog, the popup or messagebox is not shown. It's still there as it blocking the keyboard interface to the base dialog. Also after around 30-60 seconds the popup or messagebox reappears. What do I need to do to get any child dialog or message box to come to the foregound and gain focus when the app is reactivated? TIA. Tag: from Embedded Visual Basic to .net 2005 Tag: 127807

    - Bug in CAB-File Wizard? Hi! I use 4 different languages in my .NET C# Applikation, for that I use Resource-Files like resource.de, resource.it, ... After I compile, I get 4 Folders "de","it", .. with one special Resource-DLL in each of them. Everything works fine. Then I use the CAB-Wizard and generate a CAB-File. But after installing the CAB on Device, in all Folders (de, it, ..) is the same one File. I think, the CAB-Wizard or the Extractor doesn't recogize that these a different Files because they have all the same name. ( but different sizes and they are in different folders). What can I do?!?

Is it possible/easy/quick to move a source code written in Embedded
Visual Basic 3.0 to Studio .net 2005?

I use buttons, listboxes, combos, grids, labels (standard
components...) and a winsocket

Is there any wizard, automatic procedure, something?

will the code immediately (quickly) work again or will I need to cry
for hours to have my code working again?

(emb vis bas semed to be good -easy and free-, but it is buggy...), so
I am thinking to migrate

thank you

No, it's not that easy and there are no tools that I'm aware of that would
make it any easier. You're moving from largely procedural code to
object-oriented code. It needs a redesign.
