• A.Carter Add VScrollbar To Panel

  Hello Experts, I have a Panel for which I have specified a dimension. In runtime, I am adding child panels within this panel. I have also added a vertical scrollbar to this panel.

• Pramod S Kumar Using ComboBox selected Index Changed event

  I have a combobox and three text boxes bound to a dataset. Selecting an entry in the combobox is correctly updating all of the bound controls. In the "combobox.SelectedIndexChanged" event handler I would like to be able to use the value of one of the text boxes to toggle the display of two grids. My problem is that the text boxes seem to be updated after the combobox event handler has completed, therefore I am using old information to toggle the display of the grids. What is my missunderstanding and what are my options Thanks! Grab values from the data source, never from bound controls. ...Show All

• NitinAgarwal What framework to use for an application?

  For developing a commercial quality application for PocketPC ATL->MFC->.NET(C#) There’s no single answer to that. Use whatever you feel comfortable with and/or fits you needs and/or your time frame. That depends on your project requirements. You should try RAD level first (e.g. C#) because it cuts time to market and saves you money on development. Go lower (C++, pure C, and even assembly) if you can't accomplish your task with RAD tools. Combined solution is also possible, e.g. C# for UI and C++/C/Assembly for real time functionality like VOIP. What would you use Ilya ...Show All

• Shajeel Keyboard scan code in emulator skin

  I've been remapping an adding some buttons in the smartphone skin to emulate the form factor of my final device but I can't figure out what the scan code values are. I've looked at the output from my keyboard device driver and they don't match the values in the skin. e.g. volume up 0x40 = device scan code 0x47. Some values simply don't even reach the device driver e.g. 0x59. What is going on here Petchey, The emulator emulates the Samsung SMDK2410 board, which has a fixed set of scan codes. Therefore some of the possible 255 scan codes are invalid. Please tell me if the unchanged buttons on the skin generate the correct codes.

• BilalShouman Device Power Off Event

  I am currently using the Compact Framework 2.0 on a Pocket PC 2003 device and there is a setting in start>settings>system>power>advanced called "Turn off device of not used for x minutes." I am curious if there is a way to catch this event so that I might be able to shut down my threads that are dependant on my 802.11x and then Turn Off. Currently what is happening is that I might have a thread in the middle of an HTTP Post when the device powers off and this is not good. Any ideas would be helpfull. Please forgive me ... not sure if this would work, or not (haven't tested it): Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms. MobileDevice .Hibernate += new EventHandler (MobileDevice_Hibernate); ...Show All
