    - Newbie Question for File Handling I would like to write an application with C# in a Windows CE 5.0 device, but I don't know how to read/write data from/to a ASCII file in the device, and how to copy such file to a PC when it is connected USB cable. Would anyone provide some sample codes for reference? Thank in advance. Tag: prexml file for cab project in Visual 2005 IDE Tag: 127039

    - WaitCommEvent timout I have a loop in a separate thread that reads data from a COM port. The loop in the thread checks a flag to determine when to exit. My problem is when I try to stop the read loop it hangs on WaitCommEvent when there is not data coming from the COM port. Since overlapped is not supported in CE, what is the best way to make the WaitCommEvent time out? I can force the issue by using TerminateThread or closing the COM port, but I want to let it exit gracefully if possible. Thanks.

    - Custom LAP verify dialog not appearing on WM 5.0 ppc Hello. I wrote custom LAP on Windows Mobile 5.0 ppc. The name of my device is Dopod D600. My custom lap is working well on the emulator. On the device, enrollment dialog is displayed, but verify dialog is not displayed after soft reset. So I checked the parameter of verifyuser(LAP) function, and found out the dwOption parameter was always VU_NO_UI on device unlike emulator. Because of this problem, I have spent a lot of time. I can't this solution anywhere. Please help me.!!! Regards. Tag: prexml file for cab project in Visual 2005 IDE Tag: 127029

    - Dealing with charset between different applications (Java/C++) Hi, I have some doubts and I hope you can dissolve them. I'm using as my target machine a Pocket PC with Windows Mobile SE 2003. I have a client written in Java and a server written in C++. I have to send characters such as =E8,=F2,=E0 and so on. I suppose that if I send from java application such characters and I receive them in a char array,they'll be misunderstood right? The charset in use on the Pocket PC is ISO8859_1 (discovered through java application). If I send bytes with this encoding,how can I deal them? wchar_t? And how I send responses to the client? send is defined as: send( IN SOCKET s, IN const char FAR * buf, IN int len, IN int flags ); which it doesn't use wchar_t. Please give me some advices. Thanks Tag: prexml file for cab project in Visual 2005 IDE Tag: 127027

    - Emulator to open local file on PC Hi, Related to a question I asked before, I'm using CF3.5 with VB.net and trying to get the emulator to open a local file on the laptop hard disk - so far unsuccessfully ! (although it works fine on the PDA) I'm also using a database sqlserverce - which the emulator can find ! The database file is located in the application root directory "C:\vb\pda" However when I use the same code to try and open another file e.g. image or text file I get a directory not found error Here is the code to get local file path: Public Function GetAppPath() As String Return System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName( _ System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase) End Function However when I try the following code it can't find the file / directory Bigpicture.image = new bitmap("\Program Files\test1\remove.jpg") Here is the code that successfully locates the path for the database file: Public pth As String = (System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.GetName.CodeBase) + "\MyDatabase#1.sdf") (Although when I show the 'path' with a Msgbox statement, it says "\Program Files\test1\MyDatabase#1.sdf" which I find confusing (test1 is the name of the project), however the application path is "C:\vb\pda" ! I've tried the same code to open a local file, but it never finds it - and I've tried all variations ! I read somewhere that the emulator can access the "My Documents" folder on a PC, but I don't know how to do this ? Any help would be appreciated !

    - Garbage Collector Trauma Hi I have an application written in VB.NET for windows mobile 2005 device. In addition I have 2 unmanaged DLL's written in C which the VB app uses. The app runs absolutely fine until the system garbage collector gets triggered, at which point one of my DLL's (in which I create a separate thread for some sound recording task) thread gets suspended and never gets up after that. At this point my application just stops working. Is there any way I can mark my THREAD as GC-SAFE so that GC just bypasses it during its sweep operations. The intriguiing part is, if I manually trigger the GC with the following lines (executing these lines quite regularly) GC.Collect() GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers() GC.Collect() then it seems to be working fine, even when the GC is virtually always on. Anyone has any say on this please advise as I am not convinced with calling the GC commands from within the application. Cheers Sid Tag: prexml file for cab project in Visual 2005 IDE Tag: 126962

    - Setting a static IP / Registry values in hex vs. hex(7) (CE4.2) I'm trying to programmatically set a static ip address / gateway / mask on my device. There's no API so far as I'm aware so I've tried writing directly to the registry. Dumping the registry before and after setting a static IP address manually gives me: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\P5001\Parms\TcpIp] "DefaultGateway"=hex(7):\ 32,32,32,2e,32,32,32,2e,32,32,32,2e,32,32,32,00,00,00,00 "Subnetmask"=hex(7):\ ... [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WZCSVC\Parameters] "ContextSettings"=hex:\ b8,0b,00,00,00,00,00,70,d0,07,00,00,89,13,00,00,88,13,00,00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WZCSVC\Parameters\Interfaces \P5001] "ActiveSettings"=hex:\ b4,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\ ... But after writing these values in manually, the ip addresses dialog comes up with empty entries. If I dump the registry now I get [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\P5001\Parms\TcpIp] "DefaultGateway"=hex:\ 32,32,32,2e,32,32,32,2e,32,32,32,2e,32,32,32,00,00,00,00 You'll notice that the registry type in the first case is hex(7):\ and in the second is just hex:\ Could this be why I'm not setting these values correctly? I can't see any way of writing a registry type as hex(7) vs hex RegSetValueEx(m_hkey, pcszKey, 0, REG_BINARY, (PBYTE)pData, cbData) Thanks for any suggestions.

    - VS2008 #^$@!$ and its wizards OK, so I migrated from VC6 and eVC to Vis. Studio 2008, and it is the pits.... The latest migrane headache: I needed a quick utility so I created a new Smart Devices dialog based project. Added a couple of controls to dialog, and started connecting them to code. Double click on a button expecting that this will cause "add OnClick" to the MFC class based on that dialog. Instead I get "Add/Remove operation is impossible, because the code element fileName is read only". All other wizards like add new variable, or add message handler fail also. I have some other (complex) programs that I "imported" from eVC. In these projects wizards do work. How do I enable them in a new project?? Yes, I do know how to do these things manually...

    - Invoking WMP on Windows Mobile 6 - C++ Hi All I'm trying to invoke WMP on a Windows Mobile 6 device - with not too much success. The code snippet that I use is: IWMPPlayer *pWP; IWMPSettings *pWPSet; IWMPControls *pWPCtrl; CoInitializeEx(NULL,COINIT_MULTITHREADED); HRESULT hr = S_OK; CComBSTR bstrVersionInfo; BSTR mybstr; hr = CoCreateInstance( __uuidof(WindowsMediaPlayer), NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, __uuidof (IWMPPlayer4),(void **)&pWP); hr = pWP->QueryInterface(__uuidof(IWMPSettings), (void **)&pWPSet); hr = pWP->QueryInterface(__uuidof(IWMPControls), (void **)&pWPCtrl); mybstr = SysAllocString(L"\testmp3\Alarm3.wma"); //hr = pWP->openPlayer(mybstr); hr = pWPSet->put_autoStart(TRUE); hr = pWP->put_URL(mybstr); Issue No.1: All the hr's are expected values except for put_URL() which returns a S_FALSE - which I later found is ok. When I alternatively try to use the openPlayer method it returns E_NOIMPL which is also supposed to be fine for WMP version 10 according to MSDN docs. But inspite of all this there's nothing happening on my mobile device. What am I doing wrong??? BTw I also tried using get_controls and get_settings instead of queryInterface method - still nothing. The process seems so straight forward - but I'm clueless as to what's going on. Also, I tried using a proper URL instead of a file name - still zilch. Issue No.2: When I try to include atlhost.h to my sln it returns an error that CAxWindow is not declared. I'm able to compile and work the sln fine with atlbase.h and atlwin.h. Why is there a problem with atlhost.h. Issue No.3: If I ever get to solve issue no.1, I want to try invoking WMP in the windowless mode. The MSDN docs talk about the IOleInPlaceObjectWindowless interface to achieve this, but I'm not clear on how to use it. Any pointers there will be appreciated. Sorry for the long post - but this is really driving me crazy - what am I missing out??? Any help here will be hugely appreciated!!!

    - Capturing stylus input anywhere on the screen Hi, I need to capture the stylus input, when the stylus is pressed anywhere on the screen (outside the bounds of my application), much like the "write anywhere" option of the transcriber. I was able to create a SIP (soft input panel) application, and I can capture the stylus input in that application window. If I use the SetCapture() function, I can capture the whole stroke, only if it started within the bounds of the SIP, and later dragged outside the window bounds. But how can I capture it when the stroke starts outside the bounds of my application ? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Tag: prexml file for cab project in Visual 2005 IDE Tag: 126896

    - PowerPolicyNotify(PPN_UNATTENDEDMODE,TRUE) doesn't have desired ef Hi All, I have a .NETCF2 app written in C# that p/invokes into the native power API to set the power policy during execution of the application. The application needs to keep executing even if an attempt to suspend occurs. I discovered that PowerPolicyNotify() can be called to set a state called unattendedmode which prevents the device from truely stopping execution. I am using an Ipaq HW6915 running windows mobile 5 and the Microsoft Messaging and Security feature pack. I call PowerPolicyNotify with the PPN_UNATTENDEDMODE flag and the result returns true. This might be wrong as my p/invoke declaration maybe incorrect, here it is: [DllImport("coredll.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Unicode)] private static extern bool PowerPolicyNotify(int dwMessage, int dwData); basically I call this function like: bool bResult = PowerPolicyNotify((int)PPN_Message.PPN_UNATTENDEDMODE, (bState == true ? 1 : 0)); The application runs a worker thread that is using a PUSH type mechanism over HTTPS. When the request returns with a action result it calls back into the main thread and brings up a notification. If I manually switch the device with the power button when the notification returns the display activates and shows the notification ok. If the device decides to suspend after its own timeout things go very hairy. The notification does not wake the device and once the device is manually resumed the worker thread appears to have stopped. It doesn't even resume the code and make another request. I cannot debug it as its not running over activesync but over GPRS. I can get over it by manually changing the device power policy not to switch off the device but this is a config overhead. Also the application sometimes freezes with a wait cursor once it resumes after a deep suspend like this. I could look at why but I don't want the device going into a deep sleep. Is there anything I'm doing wrong or something else I should be doing? Is this just down to the device implementation of this policy itself? Am I correct to assume just one call to set this policy at app startup is enough? Many Thanks Richard Tag: prexml file for cab project in Visual 2005 IDE Tag: 126890

    - Audio buffer problems on WM5 Hi, We are developing an app for Windows Mobile 5.0 PPC and Smartphone that requires audio capture and play using wave API. We have 2 thread time_critical priority threads handling the capture and playback. We are using CALLBACK FUNCTION it the waveOutOpen/waveInopen fucntions, Currently we have 25 buffers each allocated for capture and playback. The buffer size is 160 bytes of 16 bit samples at 8Khz. SO we are buffering 25 x 10ms for capture and playback. The capture is working fine, however the playback works very well for about 20 seconds then starts to stutter after a couple minutes it comes back good for 20secs then goes bad for 2 minutes agains and so on.

    - Exchange Activesync on Single Server Hi I would like to use SSL on my connections to a Single Exchange Server but from documents I have read it appears you have to turn this off for Activesync to work, is this correct? I spent hours configuring SSL on phone and IIS only to find I have to create another Virtual Directory that does not have SSL configured? Appreciate your comments.

    - Popup Dialog in Pocket PC (custom / localized message box) How would I create a popup dialog in Pocket PC similar to the message box? I am aware of the fact that a modal dialog will fill the screen. How would I create a custom window that will popup up on top of the current screen? The reason I need to do this is to create a message box where I can replace the text in the buttons with localized versions (such as French). Maybe there is a better way to do this. Using the French version of Windows Mobile would solve this, but I have to use the English version. Any ideas? Thanks Timothy Dean Tag: prexml file for cab project in Visual 2005 IDE Tag: 126870

    - Displaying asian font glyphs on a "Western" PDA Is it possible to display East Asian glyphs (Chinese, Japanese) on a western based PDA. I have an application that works fine on a PC, and on WinMobile5 emulator with Japanese image. In the first case I use Arial MS Unicode or MS Gothic font. On Japanese image emulator I just use built in font. If I use a "Western" PDA device, or emulator with English image, all I am getting are "squares" even when using MS Gothic (I also tried others) font. Is there something I need to do to enable display of Chinese/Japanese characters? Cheers, Henryk Birecki Tag: prexml file for cab project in Visual 2005 IDE Tag: 126868

    - ConnMgrEstablishConnectionSync I had this piece of code working perfectly before, but now it doesn't ZeroMemory(&datos_gprs, sizeof(datos_gprs)); datos_gprs.cbSize = sizeof(datos_gprs); datos_gprs.bDisabled = FALSE; datos_gprs.dwPriority = CONNMGR_PRIORITY_USERINTERACTIVE; datos_gprs.dwParams = CONNMGR_PARAM_GUIDDESTNET; datos_gprs.guidDestNet = IID_DestNetInternet; retorno = ConnMgrEstablishConnectionSync(&datos_gprs, &gprs, 10 * 1000, &estado_gprs); When code reaches the call to ConnMgrEstablishConnectionSync, I see it tries to connect (the two arrows in the taskbar appear), and then the function fails. I use GetLastError and FormatMessage to read the error message and it says that this function can only be run in Win32 mode. If I try to open a web page with Internet Explorer just after it is able to connect... why? Tag: prexml file for cab project in Visual 2005 IDE Tag: 126865

    - Iterating Registry Values Is there any other recommended ways of getting a list of all the values for a registry key in Windows Mobile? I have a key with 65000 values in it, and it takes ages to get all the value names (using RegEnumValue and adding them a list). My understanding is that each time you call RegEnumValue it starts from item no 1 and counts down to the one you wish, which by the time you get to item 60000 is SLOW.... Is there a better way of doing this? Mike Tag: prexml file for cab project in Visual 2005 IDE Tag: 126863

    - Sort of OT but serial port experts are here! I have been struggling with a problem on a program on XP where it is reading a serial port. If I send it "abc" it works, but if I send it "aaa" it doesn't. It sets bit 7 on every alternate character. I tried this just using hyperterminal with a null modem cable and I get the same behaviour. I've "fixed" it by stripping bit 7 on input, but does anyone know why this happens and if there is anything that can be done about it? It doesn't happen EVERY time, but more often than not.

    - Help with Intermec cab file creation/installation I'm developing applications that run on Intermec 700 and CN2 barcode scanners. The application gets installed on the "external" memory card. CabWiz (I'm not sure if it's Intermec's version or Microsoft's) allows the InstallDir variable to contain multiple paths separated by a '$' to be specified. Doing this causes the cab file to be installed in the first valid location in the list. An example would be: InstallDir="\Storage Card$\SDMMC Disk$\Program Files" If the "\Storage Card" directory is not valid, then "\SDMMC Disk" is used. If that is not valid, then "\Program Files" is used. This method works fine...except when you get into the area of custom setup DLLs. When a custom setup DLL is used, the entire InstallDir string is used instead of checking each directory. In the custom DLL code, I'm able to get the name of the storage card location ("\Storage Card" on CN2 and "\SDMMC Disk" on 700). But, none of this matters when the cab file is putting files into the "InstallDir" directory. I'm suspecting that the Intermec CE_Setup.dll is the culprit. I think it has the logic built in to parse and check the InstallDir variable and set the actual installation directory. I need to know how to do this. There are entries in some files that I need to change to have the installation directory. Thanks, Kevin Tag: prexml file for cab project in Visual 2005 IDE Tag: 126858

    - DEVICE_ID broken on HP iPaq 210 models? Hi We use the DEVICE_ID structure returned by IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICEID to get a unique device ID for use in our licensing scheme for our Pocket PC software. We have noticed though that the newly released HP iPaq 210 models donâ??t appear to return unique device data in the DEVICE_ID struct. The PresetID bytes are the null terminated Unicode string â??PocketPCâ??. The PlatformID bytes are the null terminated ansi string â??HPIPAQ210_24337â??. Has anyone else noticed this? If so is there an alternative mechanism to get a unique device ID on HP 210 models? Cheers Tag: prexml file for cab project in Visual 2005 IDE Tag: 126855

    - Application Deployment Hi there, We have WM5 application that we wish to package and deploy as simply as possible. At the moment we use vs2005 to deploy the .NET 2 compact framework then copy our xx.cab file to the device and execute it and finally install a third party Kiosk application and configure it. What we would like is to create a setup package that installs all three of these components with a single install via activesync. I've had a bit of a look at the compact framework install but have not found how to easily deploy it without using the SDK or VS. I'm probably missing something here but it doesn't seem to be that simple. Does anyone out there have any ideas on how to do this or can point me to some articles that show how this package would be created? The ultimate aim is a one or two click install via active sync if possible. Thanks Devron -- Devron Blatchford Tag: prexml file for cab project in Visual 2005 IDE Tag: 126846

    - Suppressing searching in ListView control Hi, when some keys are entered in list view control it searches for an item beginning by entered letter. If item is not found some sound is played. I have special functions for digit keys, they act as 'hotkeys'. I don't want to list control started searching for an item on digit key press. I've tried to subclass list control and in my list control window procedure i'm catching WM_KEYDOWN message and in case of my keys i perform an action and return zero from windows procedure. But even i don't call original procedure, it still performs searching. How to disable that and still receive WM_KEYDOWN messages? ----- Saman Tag: prexml file for cab project in Visual 2005 IDE Tag: 126842

Hello all,

We are using CabWiz.exe to create our cab file through Visual Studio
IDE.
We are using a .vddproj file to build our cab file.
We want to add a pre provisioning file to this cab file by using the
ide.
I know that this is possible by using Cabwiz.exe command line ( /
prexml and /postxml), but is there a way to specify with the IDE which
xml file we want to use ?
Thank you very much,

Best Regards,

Jean-Christophe
