    - GetOpenFileNameEx memory leaks ? Hello, I've tested the following code on Windows mobile 5 phone emulator and on real devices (HTC hermes and wizard); one process opens the picture picker dialog (see the code) in loop and another process is closing the window. int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { while (1){ OPENFILENAMEEX ofnex = {0}; ofnex.lStructSize = sizeof(ofnex); ofnex.ExFlags = OFN_EXFLAG_THUMBNAILVIEW; ofnex.lpstrFile = new TCHAR[MAX_PATH]; ofnex.nMaxFile = MAX_PATH; GetOpenFileNameEx(&ofnex); delete[] ofnex.lpstrFile; } return 0; } If I dump the global program memory (for 5 minutes for example), it increases during time, as if there is a memory leak in this code. If I don't call GetOpenFileNameEx but a fake modal window, there is no memory increase.... Could someone correct my code or confirm what this? Thanks for the help, Jean-Christophe Tag: add tabs to system config screens Tag: 120389

    - CeGetFileTime "Access Denied" on Pocket PC 2002, but okay on WM5 I am writing a Pocket PC installer (in Visual Studio 2005) which is working really well in Windows Mobile 5, but when I used the installer to target a Pocket PC 2002 device, RAPI's CeGetFileTime returned 0 (signaling an error) which CeGetLastError says was a code 5 error (Access Denied). I tried waiting in the debugger before letting CeGetFileTime execute, but it didn't change anything. I've been opening, writing, and closing files over the RAPI connection. What access could I lack that CeFetFileTime needs? Any suggestions would be appreciated... -Mike http://pnmx.com/ Tag: add tabs to system config screens Tag: 120372

    - Setup.exe install problem on WM6 device (but CAB install works) i have a (signed) CAB file that installs without any problem or warning on the WM6 Standard emulators (i.e. Smartphone). This CAB file uses the following line in the Platform section of the .inf file: PlatformMax=5.9 which indicates that it should support all devices up to WinCE 5.9 (WM6 is 5.2). indeed it also install fine on WM5 Smartphones. But when I install this CAB file via a desktop Setup.exe file, i get the following error on the desktop: "APPLICATION XXX does not support the connected device type. Application Manager will make the application available for installation when a supported device type is connected". This very same setup.exe file has no problem installing this CAB on a WM5 device or emulator. Since the CAB file is compatible with WM6 Smartphones, why would the setup file refise to install it on the WM6 Smartphone emulator? i can provide the setup file if someone is interested.

    - WM6 CAB Installer ignores PlatformMax? it seems that the WM6 CAB Installer ignores PlatformMax in the Platform section of CabWiz .inf files (used by the /platform option of cabwiz.exe). see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa924318.aspx i have a CAB with PlatformMax=5.9 , and it installs with no warning on the WM6 Pocket PC emulator. is that a known bug / feature? this, i think, could make it much harder to have a setup installer with two CAB's, one for WM5 and one for WM6, in case thise would be necessary.

    - Bluetooth COM Port - TX/RX My device uses COM5 for incoming data and COM6 for outgoing data. To establish a serial connection using CreateFile, do I need to call CreateFile using READ_ONLY for COM5 (incoming) and call CreateFile again using WRITE_ONLY for COM6? EX: hReadPort = CreateFile(_T("COM5:"), READ_ONLY, ...); hWritePort = CreateFile(_T("COM6:"), WRITE_ONLY, ...); Also, for serial connection tools, do I need to call them for each port? SetCommState(hReadPort, ...); SetCommState(hWritePort, ...); SetupComm(hReadPort, ...); SetupComm(hWritePort, ...); SetCommTimeouts(hReadPort, ...); SetCommTimeouts(hWritePort, ...); My port doesn't want to talk to me, and I'm thinking this might be my problem.

    - WMDC & RAPI.DLL Hello, my application use the rapi.dll and works fine under XP/AS. My pseudo-code for testing: void test() { CeRapiInit(); CeRapiUninit(); } Under XP/AS works fine. If drop the device from cable and reconnect the device then i can call my testfunction and it works fine. Under Vista/WMDC want run this function only one. The secound call get a error C00...005 (!) in line of CeRapiUninit. Ok, now i remove this line and test again. At XP/AS works fine, but all CeXXX function failed on reconnect. Solution: i call CeRapiUninit -> CeRapiInit -> CeXXX -> works fine. At Vista, i do the same, but all CeXXX function failed ! CeRapiUninit do nothing !(???). My second problem are, how can i register my sync-dll at WMDC ? ( made with VC6.0 ). The registry-keys are different for AS/WMDC ...*arg* :-( Do i need VS2005 and WM SDK 6 for create a Vista/WMDC sync-dll ? Regards, Martin sorry for my little bit english.

    - Downloading SDK for Windows Mobile 5 Hi, i'm sorry if this is off-topic here but maybe somebody can point me to some other source of help. But maybe somebody here had a similar problem. I use Windows 2000 in a VMWare environment, i installed Visual Studio .NET 2003, installed the Update Version of VS 2005 and now tried to download the Windows Mobile SDK. All the software involved is legally bought and i have valid product keys for them. As the Windows 2000 installation inside VMWare has no Internet access i downloaded the tool "GenuineCheck.exe" and tried to execute it. It failed with the message (translated from German): Code not available. The code to check the validity could not be loaded. Reason for this could be technical problems or a not supported operating system. Please close this window and try again to execute the check for validity. Or press the button "Back" in your web browser to go back to the page with the download details. Errorcode is 0x80072ee7 I wonder what i can do to download the Windows Mobile SDK.

    - how ro save 1 bpp bitmap using c# WinCE 4.2 Compact Framework 2.0 This post concerns creating a bitmap in Windows CE 4.2: I would prefer using PixelFormat.Format1bppIndexed, but this PixelFormat is not supported by CF. I need to save a captured signature with the filesize reduced to a minimum to suit our clients needs. It does not matter if the bitmap is displayed with higher PixelFormat, because only the data export to the server is needed. When I save this signature to a bitmap file, the file size should be less than 2kb. If using a graphic object native to CF calling Bitmap.Save, it is >32 kb. Hope, someone can help me. Thanks.

    - i need to save Power! Hi all! i need your help and ideas. I have written a vb.net gps vehicle-tracking app wich reports the position via GPRS. All was good, until a customer wants the device in a helicopter with 2 rules: 1. The device should run without any operator intervention. (so no power on/off) 2. the device should not need more than 15A in 3 weeks or the heli would not start!! (so alway on is not an option) My first idea was, monitor the AC-Linestatus. If off, use rv = CeRunAppAtEvent("\programme\vtcf\sysdat.vtcf.exe", NOTIFICATION_EVENT_ON_AC_POWER) and suspend and wait if CE restarts my app. But: On the HTC P3300 the events never fires. (suspendet or running) At the moment i use in a time systemtimeridlerest to keep the app running.In the same timer i check ACLinestatus. If off !! (so gps tracking is done on internal battery, standby on heli battery) i turn phone and GPS on. These app uses now in standby mode approx. 1400 mA ( the full internal battery) in 24 hours. Target is 800mA in 24 hours. Turning the backlight off -> does not work (see my other post 2 days ago) Any ideas? your desperately wolfgang Tag: add tabs to system config screens Tag: 120300

It is random (but can occur shortly after the machine comes out of hibernation). It's a multithreading MFC app with com components. The threads inter communicate by messaging. I've never seen this happen with my debug versions; it could be a hardware issue? (or drivers). Running on a Windows CE2003 device. Is there an event viewer?

Apparently, we don't! No one here can seem to establish a connection with HT. We have a plug on the bottom of our PPC that converts to a Serial DB9 connection, but HT can't connect, and the PPC doesn't seem to have a way to establish a connection using a serial connection.

An MUI approach doesn't work, because some of the strings are in Install_Init, and at that point, the AppMgr has only extracted the setup DLL to a random temporary file name in "\Windows\AppMgr\<app name>". I tried creating a "setup.dll.<lcid>.mui" targeted to "\Windows" (not sure if that would work anyway, since the MUI is supposed to be in the same location as the image, but I was assuming the system would still use the default search path), in the hope that the AppMgr maybe had some special logic to check for an MUI for the DLL to extract, but it didn't get pulled out for Install_Init. We can't create our own custom installer, first because of resources, but also because we need Windows Mobile logo certification, and that requires using a standard CAB install. Is there a simple approach to this that I'm missing, or is the only option to build N copies of the setup DLL for N languages, or build all languages into one copy with resource ID offsets and load the correct ones at runtime (aside from ignoring localization for setup, or rewriting the code to get rid of any need for localized strings in Install_Init and Uninstall_Exit)?

    - LSP for Pocket PC 2003 I am trying to use LSP for PocketPC 2003. I used sample from WinCE 4.2. I modified the sample to remove all bugs metioned at http://blogs.msdn.com/cenet. I modified installer so it is very similar to installer from http://blogs.msdn.com/cenet/archive/2006/05/17/600363.aspx It is performing same steps as installer provided by Igor Dvorkin. My lsp is beeing layered on top of TCP and UDP for ipv4 and ipv6. I removed ssllsp completely. Everything is working fine, i'm able to capture winsock socket calls for all applications, including ie. The only thing that is not working is Active Sync and WLAN status. Connection is working fine, but status on top bar is not correctly reported. I've been studying cenet blog for days now and i run out of ideas. Piotr Wojcicki Tag: add tabs to system config screens Tag: 120258

    - Problem on Pocket IE running on WM5 device 2 HTML pages default.htm: <HTML> <BODY> <INPUT type=button onclick="location.href='http://localhost/job.htm'" value="SCREEN"> </BODY> </HTML> job.htm: <HTML> <BODY> <INPUT type=BUTTON onclick='history.go(-1)' value='MENU' > </BODY> </HTML> With the registry setting on for reporting jscript errors, the page will load you can click the 'SCREEN' button and the job.htm page will load. You can click the 'MENU' button to return to default.htm but when the default page displays the error pops up: (null) Line: 0 Character: 0 Error: (null) Source: (null) Not one of the most descriptive of errors! Replace onclick='history.go(-1)' with onclick='location.href="http://localhost/default.htm"' and it works. Is there a problem with history.go(-1)? Tag: add tabs to system config screens Tag: 120252

    - PocketPC 2002's wceload doesn't like CabWiz' generated CAB file Google cached this issue from May 18, 2002: <http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer/browse_thread/thread/a04361b6b44f90ab/b5261d04d7abc5cc?lnk=st&q=pocket+PC+2002+cabwiz+%22is+not+a+valid+Windows+CE+Setup+file%22&rnum=1&hl=en#b5261d04d7abc5cc> which is exactly on target, but the thread never posted any resolution to the problem (which I am now experiencing too). I'm hoping someone will recognize it... I have seen the Microsoft Knowledge Base article (which is also nearly on point): <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/839561>, but I verified that building my CAB files with 8.3 compliant file names and very short directory names produces exactly the same result with wceload on PPC'02: "Setup Failed. The file <\path\filename> is not a valid Windows CE Setup file" Girish's detailed Embedded Visual Tools 3.0 CAB file setup article on CodeProject: <http://www.codeproject.com/ce/pocketpc_deploy.asp?forumid=36175&select=1960226&df=100&msg=1960226>, doesn't mention this issue and none of his posts to date have either. Any suggestions would be extremely nice to hear. I am trying to support devices reaching back to the Pocket PC 2002 series, so I am personally interested, but I think the devices remain viable PDAs, so I'm hoping the Pocket PC developer community at large will benefit from not letting the solution disappear.

Hi,

Many apps in settings screen (control panel applets), have tabs with
settings.
Is it possible to add tabs to them? I guess this completely depends on how
they are implemented, but I'm wondering if there is a standardized interface
for them like reg keys with dll's to add tabs or something.
In particular, I'm interested in "Today" screen configuration that has
"Appearance" and "Items" tabs, and I wish to add an extra tab there with my
own stuff.

Lisa

No, there is no API to add tabs to the standard settings applets.

Hi Lisa,

While there is no special API for this, You can get the handlers to those
Tab-controls by using FindWindow/GetWindow and the Remote Spy tool, and add
your tabs from an outside application.
