I installed eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 (SP3) and downloaded the samples as listed here http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/TodayScrn.asp
i've been trying to follow the steps in the article but I can't get the unamanaged code to compile, I installed the Pocket PC 2003 SDK and referenced the directories for the inclulde and lib files but I get these errors

I don't know what to do now, I know diddly squat about c++, I'm just trying to follow what the article says.

No, I am not. I understand your position, but please, understand mine. It's not like I closed the thread or anything. "Diddly-squat" was OP's own expression. I simply suggested that in order to use C++ SDK samples it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the environment and the language first.
Regarding this sample - Jim (the referenced article's author) and I had a discussion back in 2003 about the reasons why publishing it was a bad idea. Among those reasons was that it would require a person, who is not familiar with native code, figure things out while not being prepared to do so.
In any case, I've converted this project to eVC4/WM2003 SDK. You can get the project from http://www.alexfeinman.com/download.asp doc=TodayScreenSupport_UnManaged.zip

It appears at link time (the time after compile when the 'linker' is attempting to link up all your .obj files into a single package either an exe or a library) you are missing references to libraries upon which your compiled source code objects (.obj files) are dependent. you will need to add these to the project settings. I will attempt to compile and link it and report back to you what is needed, but you would first need to post the article or location of the exact source you are attempting to create. Where did it come from
