    - Sprint PPC-6600 Development Hello All: I'm trying to write a simple phone dialer application for the Sprint PPC-6600. Has anyone had any experience with this, and are any of you willing to share some TAPI code to make this happen? I'm trying the CeDialer application in the SDK samples, but I always get a LINEDISCONNECTMODE_UNREACHABLE error whenever I dial a number. Robert Tag: windows ce 5.0 Tag: 95112

    - SQL Server connectivity with SmartDevice app First, let me say a BIG THANK YOU to the awesome MVPs who freely share their knowledge that they worked so hard to earn. Where would we be without you? Many thanks - you do a fantastic service. I read the November 24 post in the pocketpc.developer.network forum that said that it should be possible to connect to SQL Server through a SmartDeviceApplication. I have a working Windows App that talks great with SQL, so I copied over the exact same connection info, but the SmartDeviceApp just times out as it is trying to connect, even with a huge timeout string. It's not an issue with the handheld, because I'm just trying to run it using the PC2003 emulator. The code is so simple - below is a snippet from the load event of the form. It does display the "trying" msgbox OK, then after 500 seconds dies. HUGE gratitude in advance for any hints. Dim myConnString = "User ID=sa;Data Source=cindylulaptop;Password=;Initial Catalog=M1_DD;Persist Security Info=True;Packet Size=4096;Connect Timeout=500" Dim myConnection As New SqlClient.SqlConnection(myConnString) MsgBox("trying...") myConnection.Open() MsgBox("success") myConnection.Close() Tag: windows ce 5.0 Tag: 95110

    - MarshalAs equivalent using C# in Compact Framework I need to call a DLL function in Pocket PC using C# for Compact Framework. The function takes a "char *" variable. Assume the function is declared something as following and "param" is an in and out parameter: extern "C" __declspec( dllexport ) char *Test(char *param) In full .NET framework I can use the the following C# declaration and use the function with no problem. [DllImport("TestDLL.dll")] public static extern string Test([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] StringBuilder buf); But as you are aware, the Compact Framework does not support MarshalAs attribute and I have not been able to call the function. I have Googled for a solution but somehow I cannot find the right answer. Would you please tell me how you pass a "char *" parameter in and out of a DLL function in compact framework using C#.

    - CreateMapFile e LPCWSTR Hi, i create call CreateFileMapping and set a pointer to my structure by MapViewOfFile. This is my structure: typedef struct { int g_Length; LPCWSTR* g_Array; } SETTING_BUFFER; typedef SETTING_BUFFER *PSETTING_BUFFER; from the same pointer i can read the values stored. From another function, lauched in a second moment, i call CreateFileMapping and set another pointer to my structure by MapViewOfFile, but g_Length is read correctly while g_Array crashs my dll or it's empty. this is the code which set the structure g_hCFMObj = CreateFileMapping((HANDLE)-1, NULL, PAGE_READWRITE, 0, 1024, TEXT("SettingBuffer")); g_pClientSettingBuffer = (PSETTING_BUFFER)MapViewOfFile(g_hCFMObj, FILE_MAP_WRITE, 0, 0, 0); g_pClientSettingBuffer->g_Length = aLength; g_pClientSettingBuffer->g_Array = (LPCWSTR*) malloc(aLength*sizeof(LPCWSTR)); for (int n=0; n < g_pClientSettingBuffer->g_Length; n++) { g_pClientSettingBuffer->g_Array[n] = aArray[n]; //aArray is declare like: LPCWSTR aArray[] } from the other function: g_hSCFMObj = CreateFileMapping((HANDLE)-1, NULL, PAGE_READWRITE, 0, 1024, TEXT("SettingBuffer")); g_pSettingBuffer = (PSETTING_BUFFER)MapViewOfFile(g_hSCFMObj, FILE_MAP_WRITE, 0, 0, 0); for(n=0; n < g_pSettingBuffer->g_Length; n++) { MessageBox(0, g_pSettingBuffer->g_Array[n], L"Array values",0); //here crashes or shows empty string!??! } i've tried to change my structure like this: typedef struct { int g_Length; WCHAR g_Array[255]; } SETTING_BUFFER; typedef SETTING_BUFFER *PSETTING_BUFFER; and i set the values: lstrcpy(g_pClientSettingBuffer->g_Array, (WCHAR*)aArray[0]); this works propertly but i can set only a value while i've an array of strings to store :( Thanx in advance and sorry but array in c++ aren't my power :(( Tag: windows ce 5.0 Tag: 95055

    - Push and Pull methods Hi all. This is a layout of my situation. I want to D/L to my PDA info from the MSDE server on my desktop. I then would like to take my PDA out in the field, work on the data, and come back. When back, I want to upload the Data back into MSDE, delete it from the PDA, and download new, fresh data. As it is now, I have a host prgm on my PC that fires a pull command on the PDA. That works hunky-dorey. I can then work with the data. No problem again. I then connect back the PDA, and fire the following code: (Host fires RAPI, the code below is on the PDA) Dim remoteconnectstring As String = _ "provider=SQLOLEDB;data source=" & mach & ";initial catalogue=AuxP; " _ & "user id=sa;password=Admin;Integrated Security=SSPI;" rda.LocalConnectionString = "Data Source = \my documents\dbvb.sdf;password=apress;" rda.InternetUrl = "http://" & mach & "/Aux/sscesa20.dll" rda.InternetLogin = "MANHYDRO\" & usr rda.InternetPassword = pwd rda.Push("sfmdauxp", remoteconnectstring, RdaBatchOption.BatchingOn) When this last line fires, I get: "No columns were found. Either the table name is missing or the permissions are not valid. [,,,,,,]" (on the PDA) Any suggestions? Tag: windows ce 5.0 Tag: 95053

    - Cross platform dev. and WxWidgets Hello everyone, WxWidgets is "An open source C++ GUI framework to make cross-platform programming child's play" (http://www.wxwidgets.org/). It now supports WinCE (PPC) as well as a wide range of other platforms. This is the best cross platform framework that I have found which supports PPC and other embedded devices (like the palm). Has anyone found any other cross platform frameworks or had any problems using wxWidgets. It seems a perfectly good solution as far as I can see but I'm a newbie to all this so any advice will be happily accepted. Thankyou all, Jon Tag: windows ce 5.0 Tag: 95050

    - Recommendations for installer program? Hi, I wonder if some of you would be good enough to give some recommendations for a way of having a 'nice' installer. Users of my Pocket PC software are forever complaining that the installation routine is too complex, so I'd like to address it on the basis that a bad first impression is not good for business... Basically, it needs to do the following for the first installation: 1. Install the basic program components to the PPC (supporting the three different processor types), and register the controls etc. It's written in eVB, and a future version will be written in eVC. 2. Connect to a service on our web site, pass some information from the PPC to the site, then accept another file back (generated on the fly at the site) and install it on the PPC. That's about it for the initial installation. As the data file changes I guess I can write some kind of ActiveSync add-on to periodically check the web site for changes and download them if required. However the installer is the main thing I have problems with. I looked at Wise Installer very briefly. A search on their site for 'pocket pc' seems to indicate that it's nothing more than a fancy way of creating the CAB file. I want to customise more than that - not least because the service on the web site is one that we will write from scratch, not a standard server. I have a small VB program, thanks to the guys at devbuzz, which is capable of copying the file from the users PC, via ActiveSync, onto the Pocket PC. Would the best way be a more comprehensive version of that program which also copies the various CAB files and runs them? I couldn't see anything obvious in the MSDN RAPI documentation that dealt with this part of the installation cycle, though I can see how to get the file over to the PDA of course as I already do this. As I write this, it sounds like the way forward is with VB and the RAPI, but any comments would be most appreciated. Mike. Tag: windows ce 5.0 Tag: 95049

    - Hooking\Hacking question for Pocket PC Guru Hello, We are interested in adding menu item to all context menus of any application.

How we could set hooks on API functions during loading of my DL, i.e. when DLLMain with the argument "DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH" is called? Particularly we need a way of hooking calls of functions from coredll.dll. 2. Is it feasible to get table of imported functions of the current process on Pocket PC 2003? If so, is it possible to modify it? Also how to get offset to required function? Thanks All Tag: windows ce 5.0 Tag: 95046

Anyway this works, <textarea name=i1 rows=10 cols=50></textarea> <script> i1.value = 'start'+String.fromCharCode(13, 10)+'end' </script> this has been frustrating me for a while.

    - MSDN for Windows Mobile? Greetings, I am the director of sales and marketing for Mark/Space, Inc. We make a piece of software called The Missing Sync for Pocket PC that allows a user to sync their handheld apps with a Mac OS X computer. We currently have tens of thousands of users. We're getting close to releasing a major upgrade, The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile, which will add support for POOM and Windows Mobile Smartphone devices, and will introduce a plugin architecture that will allow for third-party sync plugins for apps like FileMaker Mobile and Pocket Quicken. I am seeking information on developer programs that will help us evaluate compatibility with future Windows Mobile OS releases and better plan our roadmap. If anyone here would be willing to offer suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

    - Command Line parameters to launch MMS Editor with Prepopulated fields Hi Folks, I am looking for tmail.exe (a.ka. Inboc application) Command Line parameters to launch MMS editor with prepopulated fields(i.e. To, Subject and Picture filed). I tried providing mmsto uri scheme (e.g. "mmsto:support@customercare.com?subject=Feedback" similar to "mailto:support@companyname.com?subject=Feedback&body=Nice job") to lpParameters data field of SHELLEXECUTEINFO structure and than calling ShellExecuteInfoEx fn. to launch tmail.exe on Smartphone. The the tmail.exe (aka Inbox application) launches but i do not see the MMS editor screen prepopulated with the Subject and To fields populated. I would also like to prepopulate the Picture/Video field. Is there a command line to do the above. If not is there something in MAPI that i can use. thanks, -Larry Tag: windows ce 5.0 Tag: 94959

    - Using heRapiInit parameter in vb.net: how to use the delegate Hi, I am taking vb6 rapi code and converting it to vb.net. I found out I can't user the addressof operator. I created a delegate type and and assigned it the address of my function: Public Delegate Sub ConnectorFunc() Dim ConnectorDelegate As ConnectorFunc ConnectorDelegate = AddressOf ConnectedRapi I then set up rapi and call for a connection: Try With pRapiInit .cbSize = Len(pRapiInit) .heRapiInit = ConnectorDelegate .hrRapiInit = 0 End With hr = CeRapiInitEx(pRapiInit) 'RapiConnect = RapiGetCEOSVersionString() <> "" RapiConnect = True Exit Function Catch ex As Exception MsgBox("error in rapi is " & ex.Message) End Try I seem to get a good return from CeRapiInitEx (the return code is not less than zero). But when I try to read a file I get a bad return code: lngRetVal = DEVICETODESKTOP("c:\AllData.xml", "", False, True, "\AllData.xml") The return code is large but I'll include it here for completeness; maybe it means something to someone: 9222812404764049413 I'm wondering if I have to convert the delegate back to long since heRapiInit is supposed to be of type long. And if I do, I'm not sure how (I tried ctype but it didn't work). Any help would be appreciated. Neil Tag: windows ce 5.0 Tag: 94956
