• Eighty Managed version of lineDrop in Windows Mobile 5.0?

  I'm trying to write an application that drops calls from known telemarker numbers. The SystemState class in the Windows Mobile 5 SDK makes it easy to detect incoming calls and determine the number. However the matter of dropping the call is a whole other issue. AFAIK, there is no facility in the Compact Framework for this (correct ). I've looked at OpenNETCF and Alex Feinman's TAPI wrapper (which I don't believe works on Windows Mobile 5). Am I missing something or is there simply no way to do this Thanks, Matt When I use Alex's TAPI wrapper against the Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone Emulator I get the following when I dial out a number (forget about receiving just yet): An unhandled exception of ...Show All

• RayPowers Sounds with C#.NET CF

  Hi, I'm trying to add some sounds for a Pocket PC C#.NET program. But after searching during long hours I still can't play some waves when a click in a button or something like that... I really need for some help... Someone can help me ! Hi Pal That depends on the device. If your device has a Media Player application capable of playing WAV files I'd do this. Copy some WAV files with different encoding setting (8/16 bit, mono/stereo, 11.5kHz/22kHz/44.1Khz sampling rate) and see which one plays fine and which don't. Hope this makes sens Michael This is a native function, it can't access managed resources. Either don't use resources (change action type to content so file would ...Show All

• achalk Close the message box just by touching screen

  Hi, I am using VB.net and Visual Studio 2005 to compile a program. Some messages have to appear on screen in order to tell users what the program completed, such as, "Update Succeed", "Item Was Not Found", etc. However, in order to close these message box, users have to use pen to click the "ok" on the right upper corner of the message box. What I want is: instead of clicking the "ok", users can close these message box just by touching screen. How can I do that Thanks a lot. Can you dim a boolean as "Dim touchToQuit = False" When the application pops up that message, set the touchToQuit = True. In the Form_Click event, type something as below: If touchToQuit = True Then ...Show All

• kenneth123 HT trap _ and - keystrokes

  Does anyone know how I can trap the underscore and dash keypresses I have to allow these keystrokes while excluding others. When a dash is depressed, e.Keycode returns a value of 189 and when I try "e.KeyCode.ToString = " I get "Back, ShiftKey, RMenu" which makes no sense at all. Thanks in advance! Try hooking the KeyPress event instead and take a look at e.KeyChar: private void textBox1_KeyPress( object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e) { e.Handled = !(e.KeyChar == '_' || e.KeyChar == '-' ); } Thanks! That was very helpful. ...Show All

• Jandost Khoso How to package emoticons into installation package?

  Is that possible and how to package a bunch of emoticons into a single packaged installation file No one have any clue :( Appearantly not... If you want to add multiple emoticons all at once, I think there is a Messenger Plus! Live Script to do that. The information about emoticon packages is not public, so you would probably have to figure that out for yourself. I tried to dig thru quite a bit but it seems the entire thing is very proprietary. Not really an easy task. It would be great if you could point me to the script, then I might be able to get some clue. ...Show All

• Maxhec 25.02 - 24.99 = 0.0300006866????

  Well it seems to in VS2005. I have a float that is a member of a class which is 24.99(float a). I have another float which is created by parsing a string which equals 25.02(float b). The first value is substracted from the second using: b -= a; However I get some trailing garbage Any ideas Worked like a charm. Thanks.

• Confused4130 How to get a list of all categories

  Hi, I want to get a list of all Ctegories but cannot find anything about retrieving this infrormation. Has any one an Idea on how to do this in Pocket PC 2003 using POOM Hi, now I just need to know how I can realise this, because I'm not familar with the CEDB APIs. ralph On WM2003 you would have to use the CEDB APIs directly. Open the object store volume and the database called "\Categories" then enumerate the rows present. On WM5.0 you can get them through POOM. Get the IItem interface for the required folder (e.g. Contacts) and get the PIMPR_FOLDER_CATEGORIES property. This will return a list of all the categories present for those items.

• j_o_h_a_n_n_e_s Custom Control doesn't invalidate original drawing area when resized

  Hello, I'm having a problem anchoring and resizing custom controls on Windows CE 5.0. For testing purposes I created a simple custom control that overrides OnPaint and draws a border. The issue is that when I resize the control, either programmatically or by using anchoring, the original region of the control isn't updated. If the control is docked, the entire drawing region updates correctly. Does anyone know why this is happening I'm using CF 2.0 SP1. Chris Normally, when you are creating a custom control, you do two things (among the others); 1) Do not call base.OnPaint 2) Override OnPaintBackground to do nothing at all Please, try it and see if it helps You might want to post a snipp ...Show All
