    - Dell X50v VGA problesm? I've got a group of people beta-testing changes to an application of mine, one of which is proper support for VGA displays. All seems to work well in most cases, but with one particular person using an X50v there seem to be problems centered around one particular property sheet dialog (of several in the app) and a list view control that I can't duplicate and that others using other VGA-capable devices (2 of 4 others in the group that I've heard from, at least) don't see either. The property sheet (or the pages in it, not sure) seem to be misaligned down by about 10 pixels, causing a vertical scroll bar (the minimum targeted platform is PPC 2002, which explains that). The list view has occasional problems with the horizontal scroll bar not showing up when it should, which seems to be corrected when I go through a column resize/update cycle. Has anyone else seen anything like that on one of those devices, or any others? If so, any ideas how to get around the problem? I've run into the first problem on VGA displays with dialogs where I'm handling WM_SIZE (for resizing list boxes and the like to handle square and rectangular screens), but this isn't one of those and all of those I was able to replicate and fix with the emulator. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Smith // avalon73 at caerleon dot us // http://www.caerleon.us/ Software Developer // Gamer // Webmaster // System Administrator "Yes.

    - Problem with SystemDateTime function Hi, I'm writing a C# application for the PocketPC 2003 platform but have problem with the SystemDateTime function, if I call it through OpenNETCF or through a DLL. So my PDA is at the time GMT+1 Paris, and sometimes when I want to resynchronize the date time, the time is wrong. For example, I obtain one hour less or more than the real time. Does anyone know this problem ? What I have also is that if I make a warm boot of the PDA (the RAM is kept), I have always one hour less than the real time when I call "SystemDateTime" function. Thanks in adavance for any answer if someone is knowing that bug. Can we use the registry to set the time ? Tag: shortcut or exe? Tag: 109540

    - Form level KeyDown C#+ hardware keyboard enter key Using Vs2003. cf1. c#. windows mobile 2003 (pocketpc) Have added event hander in InitializeComponent() this.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(this.MainForm_KeyDown); Added method private void MainForm_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { MessageBox.Show("Form Level KeyDown " + e.KeyCode); } The same form has 3 more buttons on the screen. Now if launched and if user presses h/w enter key then get the o/p Form Level KeyDown Return. Works as expected. But after launching application if one would tap on any of the on-screen buttons using the stylus and then hit the hardware ENTER key; now the event does not fire at all. Have confirmed this behavior using the Debug mode. How does one make sure the Form Level KeyDown event always fires ? Basically need to force one of the buttons to be the default buttons when h/w keyboard enter key is pressed. Is their a better method to do this ? TIA Tag: shortcut or exe? Tag: 109538

    - Media player 10 ActiveX controller in PocketPC 2003 SE application Hi all, I'm trying to create an application for an iPAQ that uses PocketPC 2003 SE. The application should use the ActiveX controller provided by Windows Media Player 10 SDK. I've installed the WMP SDK, the PPC2003SE SDK and eVC++ 4.0 SP4. I've followed the instructions on http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmplay10/mmp_sdk/embeddingtheplayercontrolinanmfcproject.asp. The wmp ActiveX controller isn't found in the "Add to project > Components and controls..." dialog, so I use the "Add control" button to locate and add the wmp.dll from c:\windows\system32. Is this correct? I've got a suspicion that the control added should be the wmp.ocx, but when trying to add that one, I get an error message saying "Failed to find desktop version of control in registry. Please verify that this control has been successfully registered on the desktop." How do I register the wmp ocx so that eVC++ finds it? Do I need to reinstall the WMP 10 SDK? However, after adding the .dll file to the project, a WMP icon appears in the toolbox of eVC++ and I'm able to add it to my form and assign buttons etc to it. But when deploying the application to my Pocket PC, the WMP component isn't there and the buttons have no effect. Is this because I use the .dll instead of the .ocx? Any ideas on how to get this thing working? Best regards, Fredrik Boström Tag: shortcut or exe? Tag: 109500

    - Synchronize Mail After multiple posts I am still no further: I am trying to synchronize email from a POP3 account programatically. In 2003 SE this uses the messaging app. People have suggested simulating a send/receive. I have done this but this is unreliable as after connecting, the menu item becomes Disconnect and so one must disconnect and the Connect. Since the Disconnect may take time it is difficult to determine when to start the Connect. Other suggestions are to pass parameters to tmail but no one seems to know what these parameters are. I would prefer to use the mailtrns.dll transport as this seems to give the most control, but I seem to be instantiating the callback incorrectly. Does anyone know how to do this. I have tried to do this as follows: I get the ONESTOPFACTORYFUNC and can call the IMAILSYNCHANDLER without a problem. I cannot seem to get my callback to work. The callback calls the correct methods within the class that I create (I can stop it in the debugger inside the calls )but throws an exception "Datatype Misalign" on return. If I omit the Addref method from my callback it calls Progess and I can see that the incoming parameters are also incorrect. I assume that the way I create this class therefore is incorrect. I simply instantiate the callback using new ... - Should I be doing something else as it seems the parameters are not passed in the way the class is expecting them. My callback class looks something like this (just the first few lines included for brevity) public: CMailSyncCallBack(); ~CMailSyncCallBack(); HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE QueryInterface (REFIID rif, LPVOID* ppobj); ULONG STDMETHODCALLTYPE AddRef(); ULONG STDMETHODCALLTYPE Release(); MAPIMETHOD(RequestSync)( LPCWSTR pszProfile, DWORD cbCookie, LPBYTE pbCookie ) ; etc.... I instantiate the class and then call initialize like this: CMailSyncCallBack *ms = new CMailSyncCallBack(); hr = pIMailSyncHandler->Initialize((IMailSyncCallBack *)ms, _T("POP3"),pMsgStore); Should I be doing this some other way as clearly the parametes are not being passed correctly.

    - TreeView control - determine which TreeNode was selected w/MouseDo Does anyone have a good way to determine which Node is selected, using Mouse functionality (versus using the TreeView_AfterSelected method)?? I've scene the documentation that states there should be a TreeView.GetNodeAt(Point) method which would allow you to trap the X & Y coordinates of your mouse via the MouseDown() event handler, then create a Point object from those coordinates, then use the GetNodeAt() method to determine if any node falls under that point .... problem is this doesn't seem to be an available method for CF v2.0 apps. What I'm attempting to do is have a context menu dispaly, with relavent choices, but only if the user is directly over an actual node. My problem is the TreeView control allows the context menu to display even though the user is in an empty area of the TreeView object .... no Nodes directly under the stylus. I only want the context menu to display when the user is directly over an actual Node. Thanks -- Stay Mobile Tag: shortcut or exe? Tag: 109462

    - button-mapping at screen-orientation DMDO_180 Hi all, an observation we did is that hardware-buttons are not re-mapped in the portrait flip mode DMDO_180. On almost all machines we test, buttons are not remapped (so up/down and left/right are actually down/up, right/left). All landscape-modes work fine. If the behaviour would be the same on all it wouldn't be a big problem, but..... now the e-ten M600 uses a landscape-mode button remapping for DMDO_180 !!! So, what's the correct behaviour for a machine ? Undefined ? No remapping ? Or, are they ALL wrong and should they remap ? Does anyone have some more info ? Thanks, Joost Tag: shortcut or exe?

    - CreateFile & WriteFile Hello I'm writing a pocketpc program with embedded visual c++ 3.0 that uses the serial port to comunicate with a CF Rfid Reader. I have a big problem using CreateFile and also WriteFile. I've read that there aren't the ASCII functions (CreateFileA) for evc, but I need to send a single byte trough the serial port and with UNICODE I think that it sends a 16bit word also when I call WriteFile with one single char. Is it true? How can I fix this problem? Thank you, Andrea Tag: shortcut or exe? Tag: 109438

    - Icon from SHGetFileInfo() Hello ! I have enumerated all top level windows and have their icons using SHGetFileInfo(). The icons are added to an imagelist. When these icons from the executables are loaded on a listview control they show fine. When they are displayed in a picturebox, their background appears black... I am drawing the picturebox myself. This way I can choose which color I want to be transparent by ImageAttributes and SetColor. The problem is that some icons use the black color, so the end result becomes a mess. Is there any way to overcome this problem ? I am not asking for the code if you cannot provide it just some guidance on what I need to do. Thanks Tag: shortcut or exe? Tag: 109435

How can I know has my application been started by clicking onto its .exe
file or onto shortcut .lnk file (pointing onto that .exe)? I'm using eVc 4
and some code would be appreciated

initially, I would guess that there is no way to determine this. My
only question is why would you want to know if your application was
launched from a shortcut or by clicking on the application.

There is one thing that you can try, but I do not guarentee that this
will work. Maybe when you create your shortcut, you put a command line
arguement and when the program is launched, if it does not contain that
arguement, then you will know that this did not come from the shortcut.
