Hi guys. I'm totally new to this platform (previously on UIQ + Symbian). I
have a few burnin questions and I hope this is the right ng to ask them (my
apologies otherwise!)... My first priority is to code using C# on .NETCF v2
(WM5) so any answers in that platform would be greatly appreciated. However,
I am aware there are limitations and I'm willing to explore a C++ dll that I
can call from managed code for other functionality. So here goes:
1. As I understand it, the OS or .netcf can terminate the app when the
system is running low on memory. This is similar to Symbian. However, in
Symbian, I could trap a certain exit message posted into my app and decide
how I want to handle it. One of the ways of handling it is to prevent my app
from terminating (in some scenarios, I want this to happen). Is there a
similar fashion to achieve this?
2. On the Dopod 900 device, you can close the flip screen. Is there a
general mechanism I can setup to watch for messages and see what message
gets posted when this happens? I want my app to do certain things when the
flip is closed.
3. How do I read resource strings from my resource file?? :(
4. How do I forcefully terminate a phone call?
5. Is there an alarm server available in PocketPC that I can use? E.g. I can
post an alarm into the alarm server that says "Expire the alarm at 10:15pm
with the following ring tone. Identify my alarm with a GUID number that only
my app will recognize so that it won't show up in other apps like Calendar,
Clock, Tasks etc."
Code snippets would be helpful. :( I'm still struggling with things (only 1
into this!) but I can surely tell you that the learning curve on this
platform esp on .NETCF v2 is much easier than Symbian's C++.
Thanks.
