VOMAPI classes
I am using the VOMAPI classes and have a PPC 2002 application that works
just fine. When this application is run on PPC2003 (IPAQ 2215), attachments
to emails created by my code sometimes arrive as part of the body of an
email. I have not nailed down when this works and does not, but it ALWAYS
worked OK on PPC 2002. Any ideas?? Tag: keyboard detection Tag: 60691

IrDA bug on iPAQ 39xx
Hello,
We have a programme which communicates via raw IrDA with another
device. It works fine with the iPAQ 36xx and 37xx series.
But on the iPAQ 39xx we have serious problems. The iPAQ sends
additonal bytes like 0xFF, 0xFC oder 0xFA at the beginning of
the communication. Even the simplest example programme
HANDLE hCommPort;
hCommPort = CreateFile( TEXT( "COM2:" ), GENERIC_WRITE|GENERIC_READ,
0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL);
CloseHandle( hCommPort );
sends one byte to another device. There is no WriteFile or any other
communication function used !
The iPAQ 3970 we are using has the actual ROM version 2.10, also the
available service pack SP222283 doesn't change this behaviour.
Does anybody have the same problem or knows a solution ?
Thanks,

Anyone got some eVB code to get PPC device serial number ?
Hi All
Has anyone got some eVB code for getting the device serial number that I can

I've looked through the help but it's a bit patchy It looks as though it may

Program theft/security
Hi all
Are there any programs out there to stop someone 'stealing' applications
from a PPC device ?
We are looking at a vertical market app where we hire out the PPC and app.
Is there anyway to stop someone copying the program off the device and
installing on another ??
Power on passwords or passwords in the app arn't alot of use as we would be
hiring them out and have to let the user know what the password was
Anyone had any ideas or done anything in this area ??
Thanks in advance

SystemParametersInfo & Idle Timeout on Pocket PC 2003
hi!
I'm using the following code in order to read out the idle timeout:
UINT dwBatIdleTimeout;
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETBATTERYIDLETIMEOUT, 0, &dwBatIdleTimeout, 0);
On Pocket PC 2002 this works fine.
On Pocket PC 2003 the function returns TRUE but dwBatIdleTimeout is always
0.
I use the following code to set the idle timeout:
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETBATTERYIDLETIMEOUT, /*dwBatTimeout*/3*60,
NULL, 0);
On Pocket PC 2002 this works fine.
On Pocket PC 2003 the function returns FALSE, GetLastError returns 87 -
wrong parameter.
According to the help, the syntax of SystemParametersInfo is the same on
Pocket PC 2002 and Pocket PC 2003. I'm using HP iPAQ 5450 (Pocket PC 2002)
and HP iPAQ 5550 (Pocket PC 2003). Any ides how to get and set the idle
timeout on Pocket PC 2003?

Any PPC serial port success stories ?
Hi all
Has anyone got any eVB/eVC success stories of controlling a 'standard'
serial device from a PPC ? (I would like to hook up a magstripe reader)
If yes which model of ppc and did you have to make special cables or can you
use the serial sync cable if the device has one.
Anyone happen to do it with Toshiba e740/HP2210/DellX5 ??
Or if you have to go the CF Serial Card route do these drain the battery ?

Setting SSID using NDIS on pocket PC 2003
Hello all,
I'm writing an app. with NDIS wi-fi functionality.
I'm able to scan the available hotspots. I need to set a particular SSID
using NDISUIO.
The setting happens fine, however there is this WLAN manager on my PPC which
reverts back to the previous SSID.
I used the WZC api for setting the SSID then the set happens fine.
Could someone tell me how can I set the SSID using NDIS??
I'm doing the following steps.
1) Scan for available hotspots.
2) Disassociate from current SSID.
3) Set Infrastructure mode
4) Set Auth mode
5) Set SSID.

Unable to Install/Use PPC 2203 SDK with VB net 2003
Last year I successfully installed & configured the evb3 kit for PPC 2002.
For Mobile 2003, Microsoft reccomends developing in .NET, so after reading
about options,
1. I bought/installed VB .net 2003 standard. I fired it up, built a simple
windows app, but saw no mobile client features. (There was a mobile web
item, but my understanding is that is for client/server apps and not for ppc
resident applications.)
2. Went back to the web, and researched/found an "SDK" for 2003 which
included an emulator. It said Evc4 service pack 2 was a prerequisite. I
don't use C, but I downloaded and installed the ev4, and then...
3. downloaded & installed the SDK. I can bring the emulator up with no
trouble, but there is still not sign of tools to build mobile 2003 client
apps in my visual basic.net application.
What am I mising?
(Those of you who went with visual studio or those who subsribe to MSDN may
not have this problem.) Tag: keyboard detection Tag: 60628

GetVersionEx(&osVer);
if (osVer.dwMajorVersion==3)
if
(SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETPLATFORMTYPE,sizeof(szPlatform),szPlatform,0)!=0)
if (lstrcmp(szPlatform,TEXT("PocketPC"))==0)
return TRUE;
return FALSE;

that I run on Pocket PC 2003?

request to MS: please no silent changes in API's!!!
To Microsoft:
It is really a bad idea to change some API silently, i.e. so that the "old"
code will still compile with no warning or error, but break at runtime.\
Unfortunately there are some silent API changes of that sort between WinCE
3.0 and 4.x i.e. between Pocket PC (or Smartphone) 2002 and 2003.
For example, the API for IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICEID has silently changed i.e.
the structure of the DEVICE_ID buffer is completely different between Pocket
PC 2002 and 2003, but there is no change in the macro and structure names.
This means that Pocket PC 2002 code using this KernelIOControl call (to get
the device unique id) will silently break at runtime on Pocket PC 2003.
The Pocket PC / Smartphone 2002 code must assume that IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICEID
fills up a 16-byte buffer with the Unique Device ID, but on Pocket PC /
Smartphone 2003 the buffer structure is completely different (and variable
size).
Pocket PC 2002: see page 5 of
http://software.symbol.com/files/MS_PocketPC2000-2002.pdf
Pocket PC 2003:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wcedsn40/html/cmrefioctl_hal_get_deviceid.asp
So, please, Microsoft, can you change the name of the macros when you change
an API (e.g. make a IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICEID_2003 with a different value) , so
that applications have less chances to mysteriously break at run-time ?

My kingdom for a useful sync solution
I use Outlook XP at work and home. I want ONLY work data on my work
PC. I want work AND home data on my PPC and home PC.
So my desired state is:
AXIM - hold personal and work data
Home PC - hold personal and work data
Work PC - hold ONLY work data
It seems that the only way to accomplish this is through flags - maybe
by using catgories. Sounds great, but...
Activesync - the solution of filtering by catgory only works from the
PPC to the PC and NOT the other way around.
Xtndconnect - works the same as Activesync.
Intellisync - looked promising and actually offers the function I
need, but it is terribly finicky, and hosed my data more than once. I
gave up after one week.
TrueSync - I`d try it but there is no demo.
I`m at a loss... ultimately, my data is more important than my device.
I can replace most PPC apps I use with similar (or better) Linux or
Palm apps.
