• CACARTER Delegate across task/thread boundaries on .NetCF 2.0 ?!

  Hi! I have a little problem, and i guess it's because i have not really grasped the complete concept of delegates yet. So here comes: I have one instance of class, which runs a a thread that uses a message queue to get notified when the power state changes (RequestPowerNotifications e.t.c.). Now there are other Classes/Forms, which should subscribe to this power notification class and get the subscribed functions called, but in their task/thread context. The functions to be called should be able to do multiple things.. E.g. close a database, update controls on the form. e.t.c. So i thought a delegate could do the trick. There is a delegate definition like this in my power notification class: public delegate void PowerNotificationDelegate( ...Show All

• Matt_ enabling NE2000 when launching Saved State

  Hi I've created an image, without the NE2000 option enabled. Then i want to launch my image and to have the NE2000 option enabled. I use the following command : DeviceEmulator.exe /s \tmp\noNe2000.dess /p 000D56FB2057 or DeviceEmulator.exe /s \tmp\noNe2000.dess /p the image is launched, but the NE2000 option is still not activated.

So i can't bind it to a specific netcard. If i finaly succeed to enable the NE2000 option at the image launch, will the MAC address be the one set by the machine that created the image, or will it be set by the machi ...Show All

• Shawn Rheal DIV Help!

  How do I get my own <div>, and not a custom control to stay on the map at 3D mode I remember seeing that in the wiki... I see the "el." specs and they seem to relate to using the custom control from the sdk. I am trying to display a div there... Or do I just change the "el" to the div id in my wiki case myCustomControl1 and 2 are both divs. The trick is you have to add them to the map control - which i left off (doh) - thanks for spotting that mistake. function GetMap() { map = new VEMap('myMap'); map.LoadMap(new VELatLong(-29, 152),5,'r',false); map.SetScaleBarDistanceUnit(VEDistanceUnit.Kilometers); map.Disa ...Show All
