We have some ActiveX controls working on Win32 platform. I wonder if hat it takes to adapt them for Mobile Devices . Should we use Embedded Visual C++ 4.0 or 3.0. Any recomendations.
Note:I have spent 2 days on this one month ago there were alot of missing libraries for compiling such as WinHttp is not there for Mobile in Visual Embedded C++ 4.0
What it takes to Convert Win32 ActiveX Control to Mobile ActiveX

I'd recommed using Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition (or better). This enables you to target Windows Mobile 2003 SE and Windows Mobile 5.0 devices.
To target WM5, download and install the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDKs availabe here.
The next major step is porting your ActiveX controls to the Windows Mobile. This can be a non trivial task - as Windows Mobile does not support every Win32 API. Check with MSDN docs whether the APIs you're using are indeed availabe on Windows Mobile.
Hope this helps

Hi Michael;
Assuming that all the libraries used in the Win32 Edition is supported on the Embedded Platform Have you got some ActiveX conversion experience Especially for converting ActiveX prepared with Visual C++ ATL COm to Visual Embedded C++ ATL COm
Thanks
