    - System.Windows.Forms.Timer suspends when PPC sleeps Is there way to force the Timer control to keep ticking when the device is off? I have an app that needs to do something 10 minutes after it's launched regardless if the device is on or off during that time (similar to a windows service - kind of). Since running ppc apps maintain their state between off/sleep periods I would think the timer would continue to run but that does not seem to be the case in my testing. Doesn't ActiveSync continue to run when the device is "off"? Thanks, Jim Tag: mobile interface technology Tag: 114532

    - Main form - Sub form problem I am building a Pocket PC application in C#. I have 5 forms (1 main and 4 sub forms). The main form must always load first. The sub forms are loaded from the main form. The application is run using Application.Run(new MainForm()); The user may choose to load one of the sub forms automaticaly at startup, but when I do the folowing in the MainForm_Load(......) function the Main form always shows up infront of the subform: private void MainForm_Load(.....) { ... ... SubForm sub = new SubForm(); sub.Show(); sub.BringToFront(); this.Hide(); this.SendToBack(); ... ... } Is there a way that I can load the Main form and then automaticaly load one of the sub forms with the sub form being shown infront of the main form? Sub forms cannot exist if there is no main form. Tag: mobile interface technology Tag: 114531

    - Enter PIN Phone Dialog Hello I'm trying to display the second Phone Dialog (the one that asks for the user to enter the PIN) in WindowsMobile 5.0.I need a solution in Win32 API or C# .NET. I use the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 - Remote SPY to detect the name of that window , but it appears with the same name for both Phone and Enter PIN windows : "Phone" (for english ROMs) and "Telefon" (for german ROMs). I'm using this to bring the window to surface: telefon = FindWindow(NULL , L"Phone"); ShowWindow(telefon, SW_SHOW); UpdateWindow(telefon); SetForegroundWindow(telefon); It seems that if the window exists there is no need to make a function that tests for the SIM status (locked/unlocked) and so the only problem is in bringing directly the Phone -> Enter PIN window (when the SIM is locked).Can anyone help? Thanks, Regards Tag: mobile interface technology Tag: 114527

    - Emulator Screen Shots I need to make several screen shots from Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Emulator. I need them for Help files. I can get a screen shot of any windows by pressing Alt+Print Screen, and after that paste the contents of Clipboard into a new file in Photoshop. It doesn't work with Emulator by some reason. It looks strange, because for me an Emulator Window is the same as any other program Window. Any advice how to overcome this problem? Thank you Al Tag: mobile interface technology Tag: 114526

    - Developing an interactive application Dear Sir, Where could I get samples espetially for video/audio and windows media player mobile editionâ??s sdk. I would like to develop an application with interactive video and audio contents on windows mobile. The application has the following features: 1, The platform should be windows mobile type such as WM 5.0 pocket pc and smart phone and Pocket PC 2003 and Smart Phone 2003. 2, It is capable of playing video and audio contents via a programmer defined fancy skin. Common buttons such play/stop/pause and common menus such as file/play list should be available. 3, Interactive video and audio functions should be available. For example, the programmer is capable of setting some bookmark on video and audio contents. When the contents are played to this point, they are pause and ask for user instruction. User may select to goto a website or other multimedia contents as well. 3, Compression of raw sound and video from MIC and camera to windows media files should be available. Moreover, all the staff, including some video and audio contents and interactive functions, should be capable of being packaged and distributed to end-users. As a beginner of windows mobile developer, I need your instructions. Could you tell me how to realize it? I have some experience of VS2005/C# and SQL 2005. When I go through MSDN, I have the following questions: 1, Is it capable of realizing all the above features in .net compact framework 2.0 without the aid of eVC and platform invoke? 2, Shall I use windows media player mobile editionâ??s sdk or .net compact framework 2.0? I could not find enough resources on mobile interactive video and audio development on MSDN, could you help me to locate them. jademobile@126.com -- I am interested in WMP mobile edition development for an interactive application Tag: mobile interface technology Tag: 114520

    - How to override the default error dialog when a file you're trying to open is not found on Windows Mobile 5.0 I have created a custom launcher application that launches another .exe file. I'm using ShellExecuteEx to open the .exe file, and I've added error checking code if the ShellExecuteEx fails for some reason, like file not found. I've also added a custom error message box that I want to display if the file is not found. However, when I launch my custom launcher it does display my custom error message box, but only after the following default error message box: "The file 'AvantGo' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file." Is there a way I can prevent the default error message popping up, and only display my custom error message? I'm using Microsoft Visual C++ 2005. Tag: mobile interface technology Tag: 114494

    - How do I get GWES to recognize keyboard on Pocket PC? Hi, I'm working on the software for a new Compact Flash (CF) card that is designed to work in Pocket PCs. The card provides a complete USB Host, which allows for a USB device to be hooked up to a PPC and then accessed from the PPC. The basic device driver is working, as are the USB client drivers. USB Flash Drives and USB printers work fine. This is under CE 4.2 with future porting to CE 5.0. I need to add support for a USB keyboard and mouse. I have gotten the USB client drivers for them to be loaded. The next step is to get a Pocket PC (e.g., hx2415) to recognize and use the external keyboard. This is where I need some assistance. HP supplies the basic driver (keypad.dll on the 2415 and keybddr.dll on the 2215) that is loaded by gwes,exe. When the usb keyboard driver starts, the "KBD1:" device is created, and DeviceNotifications sends out the message that it was added with the IClass value "{CBE6DDF2-F5D4-4e16-9F61-4CCC0B6695F3}", as spec'ed in the docs. What I am missing is how to get gwes and/or keyXxx.dll to actually use the new keyboard. I have tried setting HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\HasKeyboard to 1 but it doesn't have any noticable effect. What needs to be done to get the linkage between the keyboard and the Pocket PC to work? Another driver? Registry settings? Any sample code? Documentation pointers? Thanks! ++ Todd Tag: mobile interface technology Tag: 114463

For example with WincE 5.0 there is info on how to develop a device driver, info on the features etc. Sure a lot of this applies to WM5 but there does not appear to be anywhere where it states exactly which features are included with WM5 and also how to develop drivers for the WM5 platform.

That's 36 x 6 x $1 = $216. The next 216 people also send 200 messages with your name on number 2. That's 216 x 6 x $1 = $1296!. Those 1296 people again also send 200 messages with your name on number 1. That will give us a total of 1296 x 6 x $1 = $7,776. Now the last tier! 7776 x 6 x $1 = $46,656!!!!!! This is only a EXAMPLE with 6 reactions. You WILL get MORE responses than that. Remember that most newsservers will leave the posted messages on there servers for about 2 weeks.

Everyday MILLIONS of people are ONLINE and reading these messages, JUST LIKE YOU RIGHT NOW. I also was sceptical in the beginning and have read a lot of these messages. I also thought that it was bullshit. Until I thought : What the hell!, only $6. What's $6 and a couple of minutes of my time to solve my money problems. !!!!! REMEMBER !!!!! Follow every step, and IT WILL WORK, TRUST ME. !!!!! !!!!! BEST WISHES AND GOOD LUCK !!!!! w)O>+;)<9UVS;F>qaGL<Uq#v`V6(F]- rM;$g+!4IIQ*827?H4 Tag: mobile interface technology Tag: 114444

    - Bluetooth Printer from XDAIIi (Broadcom) Hi, I am trying to send data to a Bluetooth Printer, which I have paired to a XDA IIi (Pocket PC 2003 SE) using Bluetooth Manager. Currently, I am using C# and I am able to start up the Connection between the two using SerialPort.Open (baud rate = 4800, parity bit = None, Com Port = "COM6") and this apparently works (the connection goes green in Bluetooth Manager). But - I am then attempting to send the data using SerialPort.Write with the data in a byte array or a string. The code appears to work and no exception is thrown, but the printer device shows an error indication rather than accepting the data and printing. From using the sample exe which came with the printer, i do know that it is working and can print from that device. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of stuff and can suggest what may be going wrong? Is it because the SerialPort is using the Microsoft stack rather than Broadcom??? I just presumed that if i were to write the data to that port which was already connected then that would work - but obviously not! At least the printer is indicating that it is receiving something though by showing the error! Any help would be great. Thanks! Tag: mobile interface technology Tag: 114443

    - Custom Alarm Sound!! I've been trying to figure this out and have succeeded (Huzzah), so I'll share it with all. I have a Smartphone with WM5. I the really annoying and dare I say, uncreative alarm clock sounds provide with the OS. So since I can play mp3s with my Mobile Windows Media, I thought, why not make an alarm based off of it? This is how you do it: Take your mp3, and decompress it to a WAV file. You will probably have a big WAV file (my phone doesn't pack a lot of internal memory ~ 32MB I think). So, you can use the WAV compression level that the other sounds have: 11025 Hz, 16-bit, Mono. So once you recode (or down-code, haha) then make sure to copy it into the \Windows directory on your mobile device. Now, when you configure your alarm (not reminders for events, but straight up alarm clock) you can tell it that new song you just added. Voila! Have fun waking up to your favorite song!

    - Bug on .NET CF 2.0 ?? Hi All I have noticed what appears to be a bug during migration of a C# project from .NET 1.0 to .NET 2.0. I have an application running on a Windows Mobile 2003 SE developed with VS 2003 using .NET CF 1.0 with no problems what so ever. However recently I had to upgrade to VS 2005 and during the first load of the C# project I was asked to upgrade the project to .NET CF 2.0, hich I accepted. I was able to recompile the project in VS 2005 with no errors. HOWEVER when I deployed and ran the application I consistently got an exception: NotSupportedException No difference if I run it on a real device or on the emulator. A snippet of the code (simplified for clarity) goes like this: private void SomeWork() { TEST info; info = new TEST(Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(TEST))); ********* The NotSupportedException is thrown here } public class TEST : Struct { public int some_data; public TEST(int size) : base(size) { } } public class Struct { byte[] i_data; public Struct(int size) { i_data = new byte[size]; } } What am I missing ??

Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks. Tag: mobile interface technology Tag: 114419

    - Visual Studio debuging native code on emulator Hi, I have a vs2005 smart device dll project. When I debug it using vs2005's debugger, I cannot see local variables in the "locals" window. Also, when stepping over lines, it often skips down to further sections of my code. Moreover, it often skips past "return;" statements like they weren't even there. This leads me to two possible explanations: 1. The vs2005 debugger does not sync up well with the device and thinks it is evaluating a statement that it really isnt. 2. The compiler rearranges the binary such that the lines get messed up. These are only guesses. Has anyone had trouble using and seen unexpected behavior from the cs2005 debuger for a windows mobile 5.0 ppc native executable? Thanks, Mike Tag: mobile interface technology Tag: 114416

    - openFileDialog ignores InitialDirectory Its me again. I'm using C# on Mobile 5. No matter what I set InitialDirectory on openFileDialog to it always starts in 'My Documents'. How do I change this behavior? It very frustrating that every time I need to do something I have to ask you folks how. Surely this kind of stuff MUST be documented SOMEWHERE! Alright, I feel better now. Thanks, Jim Tag: mobile interface technology Tag: 114405

    - Quick TextBox Question (Easy one... I hope!) Hi All, In my application, I have a textbox control inside a user control that has Multiline and AcceptsReturn properties defined as true. I have code that will add characters to the textbox. When I add "\r\n" for a carriage return, the textbox does not adjust to show the new line. The cursor is gone, but it always shows line 1. How do I have the TextBox auto scroll to show the last line of the text so that the user sees what they are typing? Thanks in advance, - Craig Tag: mobile interface technology Tag: 114398

    - Mobile 5 emulator does not see the Internet After I upgraded to VS 2005, I noticed that the PPC 2003 emulator can see the Internet just fine (e.g., IE works). The Mobile 5 emulator does not see the Internet. What am I doing wrong? Thanks Tag: mobile interface technology Tag: 114394

    - Certain CABs hang on install Hello, I am creating an automatic installer for CAB files to be used on several different types of handheld devices. The program will be used to update an existing program all from the handheld with no desktop interaction. It uses CreateProcess to launch wceload with each cab as shown below: Const WAITNORM As Int32 = Int32.MaxValue Dim ExeName as String = "wceload.exe" Dim CmdLine as String = "/delete 0 " & Chr(34) & cabPath & Chr(34) Dim si(128) As Byte Dim pi As New ProcessInfo CreateProcess(ExeName, CmdLine, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, 0, 0, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, si, pi) WaitForSingleObject(pi.hThread, WAITNORM) CloseHandle(pi.hThread) CloseHandle(pi.hProcess) pi = Nothing It works perfect on Mobile 5 devices. However, some of my clients are using Pocket PC and WM2003. In both these cases, my application does not work for all my CAB files. In particular I'm having trouble with: sqlce.ppc3.arm.CAB netcf.hhp.wce4.armv4_2.04.CAB After running through the whole install, these CABs will hang when the installer reaches "Writing information for "Remove Programs"....". I've searched around quite a bit and haven't found anyone else running into this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance Greg G.

    - WM5 device vs. emulator I've been writing a new version of an app with VS2005 (before it was eVB), and I've specifically tested on 240x320 and VGA emulators, with success on both screen sizes. Problem is, as soon as I deploy the application to the device (in this case a Dell x51v with 240x320 screen) the display is not correct. For example I draw two rectangles which have a top line 2/3 down the screen, a bottom line 50 pixels below, are 50 pixels wide and flushed to left and right of the screen. I then create a HBRUSH, select it, then fill the rectangle. I've made sure I use the recommended functions to get the VERTRES and HORZRES figures so I can work out width and height, and use SCALEX and SCALEY for the other sizes. On the emulator, the screen draws correctly with a green box in the bottom left, and a blue box in bottom right. It's fine in both portrait resolutions. On the device, I never see the boxes, and I have no clue why. I am sure it's something I am doing (or not doing) and I'd be grateful for any ideas on where to look. Given the quality of display on many commercial applications, mine is very simple by comparison and I'm sure it's not that I'm trying to achieve something that is impossible. TIA, Mike.

    - Create shortcut on desktop Hi guys Very new to mobile development. I need to be able to put a shortcut on the desktop (IPAQ, WM5) to open Terminal Services and seamlessly log on. I have seen references to similar types of requirements but in bits and pieces and haven't been able to get it to work. It appears it may require registry hacking?? Can someone please assist with: 1. How do I create a desktop shortcut? 2. How can this fire up terminal services with a seamless log on. Thanks in advance... Andrew Bendigo, Australia Tag: mobile interface technology Tag: 114366

    - HTML Control and Browse Example (Not working with Unicode) Hi, I am adapting the Browse example of the Windows Mobile 5 SDK for use in my program (sample\cpp\win32\browse), and have a problem with the HTML Control. In the example, when a link is clicked, this generates an NM_HOTSPOT notification message, which is processed to get the address of the link. However, the NM_HOTSPOT is passed the link reference as an ASCII and not a UNICODE string, so that mbstowcs must be used to convert the string to UNICODE. I need to be able get a UNICODE string of the link address straight away, as if the link has non-Roman characters (such as Japanese etc.) they do not work in the example. It would appear that the NM_HOTSPOT is passed an NM_HTMLVIEWA and not a NM_HTMLVIEWW structure. Is there any way that I can acheive this? The project file is set up to compile for UNICODE, so I cannot understand why the HTML Control is not using it. Thanks, Stefan. Tag: mobile interface technology Tag: 114362

Hi,

I'm trying do decide wich is the more convinient (design, reusability,
conectivity, security) interface technology for develop a mobile ("some
times off-line") application.

C#/VB.NET Mobile Application >>> Web Service
C#/VB.NET Mobile Application + ADO.NET >>> SQL Server
AJAX (HTML+javascript+xmlhttp) >>> Web Services / ASP.NET Functions

Consider that I have hundreds of ASP.NET and Web Services solutions running
in a production environment that would help to reduce the development time
of new business logics components.

At this moment, I made some tests, and I really appreciate the AJAX mobile
solution. It's easier to build and maintan screens rather than Visual Studio
.NET.
But I think that PIE it's not good framework to user, because it has a lot
of limitations, like access the device file system and functionalities,
navigation beetwen the screens, global variable sharing, and so on.

So, wich option is better?

Thanks a lot for any suggestion.

Leonardo Freitas
