• MrZap vibrate.h missing for WM5 PocketPC

  Hi everyone! I cannot find vibrate.h in the WM5 PocketPC SDK. According to the documentation vibrations are supported on PPC now. Can I just copy vibrate.h from WM5 Smartphone SDK Thanks. Although a bit of a hack, the solution for this problem is easy: search under "Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce420\" (or whatever your version is) for all occurrences of "aygshell.h". Open those in an editor and comment out the line "#include <vibrate.h>". As you see, the developers put this line in an "#ifdef TCP", but doing a "#undef TCP" in your own program, doesn't make the error disappear. So, you have to do the hack!! Willem ...Show All

• Arul-R Another mscorlib.dll in mobile application

  I'm compiling very simple project for Windows CE in VS 2005 with reference to another mscorlib.dll, but application always load only standard mscorlib from Compact Framework. Why P.S. Tested on real machines with CF 2.0 That’s because mscorlib is special and is automatically retargeted to the correct one – the one which comes with particular runtime. Also I’m not quite sure what exactly you’re trying to achieve by that. There’s no way “other” mscorlib would work on NETCF as it needs to match the runtime. You can’t just swap mscorlib, you need entire “another” runtime to use another mscorlib. ...Show All

• Mateusz Rajca Idle functions

  Hello I wonder how to implement an idle function I searched the SDK but couldn't find any appropriate functions. I only found .net Application.Idle but since I don't use .net it's not for me.

I'm currently in a native C++ Smartphone project and I'm not able to find any references to WM_IDLE in the SDK. Any way for me to use MFC with my Smartphone project Many thanks, Martin Malek Not sure what you mean by "idle" function. Perhaps Sleep() would do You can call it with 0 to release CPU time.

• Simmy7 Resource DLL still active

  Hi all, We made a .Net DLL that is the managed end of an unmanaged - managed bridge. There is nothing in the DLL besides the wrappers to the unmanaged function calls and the P/Invokes. When I terminate the program the managed DLL stays active. Any ideas on why it would stay in memory Do you have to terminate a managed DLL in some way Alex, Nope. Everything is a command-response call, no threads. I did notice that it's only when I am debugging and the debugger terminates in an abnormal fashion, like an uncaught exception. It does not seem to occur when I run the program outside of the debugger or the debugger terminates the app normally. Ah, I see. That's entirely possible. Sometimes the debugger fails to terminate the ...Show All

• jesy51 Populate ImageList from Urls at run-time?

  Is it possible (preferably in C#.net) and on Windows Mobile 5.0 to populate an ImageList with Images (JPEGs) from some URLs (this is part of a search result) and will need to be done at run-time. Any help would be much appreciated, as I can't really seem to find a way to do this. Well the code is the same erxcept where I use a StreamReader you just use a Stream. Then construct a Bitmap from the Stream. One of the bitmap constructor overloads accepts a Stream. Before setting the image to the picture box check the width/height of the image and see if it's the same as what you expect it to be. Okay, this isn't working. Once it gets to pic ...Show All

• AksaiGora How to remove the "x" button at the upper and right corner on the interface?

  Hi, I am using VB.net and Visual Studio 2005 to compile a program for a Pocket PC with MicrosoftR Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition. When every interface is opened, there is a "x" button at the upper and right corner on the upper blue bar of the interface. This blue bar is always there, and users can click this "x" button to close an interface. However, I would not like to ask users to use this "x" button to close an interface. What I want to do is just to ask users to close interface by clicking a "Exit" button to close interface, and this "Exit" button is put onto the interface through the design part of Visual Studio when I compile this program. So How can remove the "x" ...Show All

• akuehn Copy file from PDA to server

  Hello, On the file-server is a shared map. Now i want to copy a file from my PDA to the shared folder. It works fine with file.copy(test.txt,"\\Server1\Testmap\test.txt) when the server is on the same networksegment. Problem is that the server is not on the same segment so I've got to copy it to the IP-adress of the server. File.copy(test.txt, \\192.168.0.1\Testmap\test.txt ) doesn't work from the PDA. If I try this on a desktop in another network-segment then the server than it works fine. What should I change to copy the file to the IP of the server Thanks by Advance Hi, First you may want to make sure you can actually access the server via the IP address, by opening a HTML page hosted on ...Show All

• Ayhan Yerli &amp;#40;TR-NL&amp;#41; Newbie. I want to enhance the image quality.

  Hello, this is very basic, but I need to know the power and flexibility of this tool. I need to see in a superior level of detail, in 3D view, a city with a few mounts... ( I don't need buildings, just the terrain ) But everything that is at a certain distance from the camera looses quality (geometric detail level and image quality). I know this is done in order to increase render speed, to save memory and bandwidth... but I need more quality, and I'm ready to pay the cost. Is there a workaround to increase the quality, someone knows a website, parameter, anything that might help me please I need it, even if it takes quite a long time to display one single image. I need excellent quality. Thanks in advance! Albert G ...Show All

• Jeff Bramwell How to handle a message before the client displays it

  Greetings, I'm programming in C# with Visual 2005. I'm trying to implement an addin for WLM that will make some treatment on an incoming text message.
