    - how to stop a running process I am a newbie. I am developing an application that uses threads to gather data from a socket. I am finding that my code somehow does not let the main UI thread do its job. so the screen (just for my application) does not respond. I find that then I have to reset the ipaq to stop my application. Is there another way to just kill my application? i read on this newsgroup about sending the app a "kill message" if i have the applications "handle". i am hoping for something more like "taskmanager" or a way to list running processes on the PPC. select the process and kill it. -- Maria Cruz MTC Technologies.com Tag: How to interface hardware devices?

    - HTTP (and socket) connection fails after 73 connections... Hi, I have problems writing a http&socket client for PocketPC. I'm using Jeode JVM and it seems that every client I develop stops to make connections after 73 connections. This has to be caused by the fact that somehow the PocketPC can not reuse the local ports they are all used and I have not found a way to free these ports. Normal socket disconnect/close does not seem to help... Any ideas how to solve this problem? Best regards, Ville Tag: How to interface hardware devices? Tag: 94991

We make a piece of software called The Missing Sync for Pocket PC that allows a user to sync their handheld apps with a Mac OS X computer. We currently have tens of thousands of users. We're getting close to releasing a major upgrade, The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile, which will add support for POOM and Windows Mobile Smartphone devices, and will introduce a plugin architecture that will allow for third-party sync plugins for apps like FileMaker Mobile and Pocket Quicken. I am seeking information on developer programs that will help us evaluate compatibility with future Windows Mobile OS releases and better plan our roadmap.

    - Using heRapiInit parameter in vb.net: how to use the delegate Hi, I am taking vb6 rapi code and converting it to vb.net. I found out I can't user the addressof operator. I created a delegate type and and assigned it the address of my function: Public Delegate Sub ConnectorFunc() Dim ConnectorDelegate As ConnectorFunc ConnectorDelegate = AddressOf ConnectedRapi I then set up rapi and call for a connection: Try With pRapiInit .cbSize = Len(pRapiInit) .heRapiInit = ConnectorDelegate .hrRapiInit = 0 End With hr = CeRapiInitEx(pRapiInit) 'RapiConnect = RapiGetCEOSVersionString() <> "" RapiConnect = True Exit Function Catch ex As Exception MsgBox("error in rapi is " & ex.Message) End Try I seem to get a good return from CeRapiInitEx (the return code is not less than zero). But when I try to read a file I get a bad return code: lngRetVal = DEVICETODESKTOP("c:\AllData.xml", "", False, True, "\AllData.xml") The return code is large but I'll include it here for completeness; maybe it means something to someone: 9222812404764049413 I'm wondering if I have to convert the delegate back to long since heRapiInit is supposed to be of type long. And if I do, I'm not sure how (I tried ctype but it didn't work). Any help would be appreciated. Neil Tag: How to interface hardware devices? Tag: 94956

I simply use CheckMenuItem on a item in the regular main menu previously created with SHCreateMenuBar. So far so good, that all works like it is supposed to. Through another menu item I open a settings dialog. As soon as I leave this settings dialog, the previously set check mark in the main menu is gone. Further attempts of calling CheckMenuItem seem to be alright when I debug them, but the check mark doesn't appear again til I restart the application. Any thoughts on that issue ?

    - Problems sending HTTP posts to network using USB. Hi, Does anybody know what could be causing the following problems: I'm sending HTTP POST requests to network from PocketPC that is connected to USB cradle. This works fine for about 30 minutes but after that I get exceptions for my sending code. Is this something that could be caused by ActiveSync or other 3rd party component?

    - Use Pocket PC to control PowerPoint presentation, Windows Media Player, Winamp and iTunes ¡§PPC Tablet Remote Control Suite 2.0¡¨ software uses a Pocket PC screen to emulate one or more "virtual" input devices, such as keyboard, keypad, macro keys, touchpad and tablet, in order to remotely control a desktop or laptop PC, or to complement the PC's existing input hardware. Download the free trial from Handango or PocketGear: Handango: http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?productId=144254 PocketGear: http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=15882 The Client, deployed on the Pocket PC device, sends pre-defined input signals to the Server on a host PC through an ActiveSync connection or any TCP/IP network, wired or wireless. Saved in special layout profiles, the input signals can include key strokes, key combinations, key sequences, and mouse behaviors. The Designer can be used to create a new layout profile, or modify or delete existing profiles. PPC Tablet is designed with the following user needs in mind: * Remotely controlling media playback on a PC. * Remotely controlling a slideshow in a presentation room. * Using the Pocket PC screen to create and send handwritten signatures or annotations to a PC application. * Speeding up repetitive data entry with special user-defined macro keys. * Speeding up computer operation with customizable application-specific macro keys or shortcut keys. * Using a Pocket PC to complement existing input hardware with virtual input devices, such as a virtual numeric keypad. PPC Tablet 2.0 is also designed with network security in mind. Upon initial connection from a Pocket PC device, the Server will prompt the PC user to accept or reject the connection. Optionally, the Server can authenticate the Windows user name and password supplied by the Client. If the authentication is successful, the Server will accept the connection silently. To further enhance security over TCP/IP networks, all communication between the Server and Client is encrypted with 512-bit RSA cryptography after a connection is established. This provides reasonable protection strength for the communication, while maintaining good application performance. The software comes with five pre-defined profiles: Default Devices, Tablet Only, Personal Data, PowerPoint Presentation and Windows Media Player. The Default Devices profile includes a touchpad, a tablet and a numeric keypad. The Tablet Only profile includes a single tablet. The Personal Data provides a set of buttons which users can customize with their own personal information to speed up repetitive data entry in electronic forms. The PowerPoint Presentation profile includes a set of pre-defined buttons to start, stop and navigate through a slide show, as well as a touchpad that can navigate the pointer or draw on a PowerPoint presentation. The Windows Media Player profile provides a set of buttons to control media playback and sound volume in Windows Media Player. All these profiles can be further extended by the users based on their individual needs. Addtional profiles, including those for Internet Explorer, Firefox, Winamp, iTunes and WinTV, can be downloaded from our website: http://www.aacompserv.com/AACompWeb/PPCTablet/Profiles.aspx In addition to using pre-defined profiles, users can create their own profiles with the Designer. The Designer supports the creation, modification and deletion of software-emulated input components, such as key buttons, mouse buttons, and navigation areas that can emulate a touchpad or tablet. The size, location, label and corresponding action of each input component are all customizable and saved into a specified profile. PPC Tablet is compatible with all Pocket PC 2003 and Pocket PC 2003 SE devices (including VGA-capable units), as well as Pocket PC 2002 devices with .NET Compact Framework installed.

    - to choose a connection(GPRS or Wifi) I want Hi, So it is really possible to chose one connection ? Chang'question was: #1. Is it possible for me to choose a Connection I want? A typical use case is: the device can dial up GPRS successfully, but once the device roams into a Wifi hotspot, ConnectionManager will shutdown the GPRS connection and use the Wifi connection, which happened not properly configured. In this case, can I revert back to GPRS connection (since it is actually usable)? My thought is , it is similar to Win XP it is NOT possible to use dial-up when LAN connected. regards Tag: How to interface hardware devices? Tag: 94889

I searched on microsoft.com, also in my documentation for VS 2003, but I can't figure out, what all these Win CE versions mean. There is: Windows CE.NET PocketPC 2000, 2002, 2003 Windows Mobile In VS you can create a device project for CE and for PPC, but there's no help on the differences. It seems that you need .NET CF in both cases, and I guess you can't create native code with both. But am I wrong, because VS creates Cabs for different processors? I know that .NET is IL, so why do .NET programs need different installers? Browsing through the group I figured out that PPC 2003 is something equal to CE.NET 4.2. And the Windows Mobile versions are for mobile phones/ smart phones, aren't they? But on the Embedded World in Germany, I got a Windows CE trial from MS. It version is 5.0, with EVC 4.0 SP4 for native programming. If PPC 2003 (or Win CE.NET 4.2) is the latest version you can get on devices what is CE 5.0? I'm also confused in the names of the processor architectures supportet by CE/PPC. I guess that ARM means Intel XScale PXAs, but what are the differences between a Installer-Cab for ARM, ARMV4 and ARMV4T? So after all I believe MS intentions are to make the life of beginners in the embedded development really hard. So I hope for help in this forum.

    - How to create a Popup Modal Dialog How would I create a popup modal dialog similar to a messag box, but one where I can add my own controls? I can create a child window with a caption, ok button etc... but the title bar is always gray and it is modeless. Thanks. Timothy Dean MobileDataforce Tag: How to interface hardware devices?

    - GetProcAddresss Hi, I am using the following code to link a DLL at run-time but the getprocaddress() function returns NULL and the getlasterror() shows ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER error. I am not sure what is goin wrong, I have used dumpbin to check is the function is being exported and I see that it is being exported.. Here is my code typedef void (CALLBACK* LPFNDLLFUNC1) (LPTSTR); HINSTANCE hinstLib; LPFNDLLFUNC1 ProcAdd; BOOL fFreeResult, fRunTimeLinkSuccess = FALSE; // Get a handle to the DLL module. hinstLib = LoadLibrary(L"expdll"); HMODULE hr = GetModuleHandle(L"expDll.dll"); if (hinstLib != NULL) { ProcAdd = (LPFNDLLFUNC1) GetProcAddress(hr, L"putsomething"); DWORD err; err= GetLastError(); // If the function address is valid, call the function. if (NULL != ProcAdd) { fRunTimeLinkSuccess = TRUE; (ProcAdd) (L"Hello World"); } // Free the DLL module. fFreeResult = FreeLibrary(hinstLib); } Thanks in advance Tag: How to interface hardware devices?

    - Mapping the function keys on a Symbol MC9000G I have a client who is using a kiosk-style web application on this device. I want to provide them with a .NET CF smart client app, and give them the ability to switch back and forth between the pocket ie app and my CF app. I had thought to use the application hotkey buttons, but the 53-key version of the MC9000G does not appear to have them. Does anyone have any advice on mapping the F1-F10 keys (blue-key/numeric combo) to launch/switch to applications? Tag: How to interface hardware devices? Tag: 94866

Is there any documentation on how to develop hardware devices for the PocketPC?
I would like to connect various sensors, etc. What are the options?
Bluetooth, The smartcard connector, The sync cable connector?
It looks like some GPS devices connect via the smart card connector. How do
I write low level drivers for such devices? Any hints at all?

First off, when you say "the PocketPC" you are implying that there is a
standard for the Pocket PC hardware, which there is not. Each and every
PocketPC may have totally different hardware architecture.

For more information on writing drivers for Windows CE, which Pocket PC is a
type of, you should look at the documentation in Platform Builder. The
documentation is available as a download, or you can use msdn.microsoft.com.
