• leleu Displaying a picture with Transparent Background

  Dear ppl, I have a .bmp picture with transparent background..but when i display it on the form using a picture box, the area that should suppose to be transparent is being displayed as the background color of the picture box. Even if i set the picture box background color to transparent , it doesn't make any difference. So I created a user control and override the onpaint() method to draw the picture using the imageAttribute SetKeyColor() method, but that is not working as well....what is happening is the picture is being displayed properly with transparent area not being displayed, instead the transparent area is being painted as the backcolor of the usercontrol...even if i set the back color of the usercontrol to transparent it ...Show All

• Pete_M Linking with C++ static library in native C++ smart device projet

  I used to have a PocketPC client application communicating with a desktop C++ server. Now, I'm porting the server to PocketPC so the whole thing can work on the PDA without an internet connection. I'm having problems linking with the libraries' .lib files I'm using. For instance, I'm using sockets (Winsock2.h -- WS2_32.Lib). I include the .h, code compiles but doesn't link; then I add the .lib in the additionnal depencies, but still, it doesn't link (error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol ioctlsocket referenced in function "public: void __cdecl OBServer::InitializeServer(int,int)"...) First of all, is a desktop .lib supposed to work right away in a smart device projet Or maybe it need to be recompiled or something like that If ...Show All

• simon_ VECollection of Polygons

  Hi guys, cool new stuff with polygons and access to the findResults with “where-only” searching using the new release of the VE MapControl Great work VE dev team!!! I’m trying to import a VECollection of Polygons into my map! But at the moment I only get: “The server is currently busy. Try again later.” But actually this should work fine, as soon the service is online again! Hope it doesn't take tooo long :-D Anyway - I’m wondering whether it is possible to access the single items of an added VECollection! !!! Even in debug mode they are not visible, seem to be private :-( Any someone tell me whether my assumption is true or if not (what I hope) how to get the items ! Thanks in advance hafi Yep, you ...Show All

• Jamie Thomson Identify Incoming call

  Hi, I have a question about Phone call. Programmatically How to identify incoming call that comes for me Can i do this thru Phone APIs I could retrieve call informations (missed calls, Dialed calls...) by using Phone APIs. Please send your suggestions or links. Thanx. M. GANESAN Hi If you are using Windows Mobile 5.0 devices use the State and Notification Broker. This API provides all information you need (class SystemState ). For instance SystemState.PhoneIncomingCallerNumber returnes the phone numer of an incomming call. Hope this is what you are looking for. Michael In this case you'll have to use the Extended TAPI API to monitor incomming calls. Open the GSM TAPI device with monitoring privil ...Show All

• Hiney Can Local.Live information be transferred to Mappoint?

  Hello, I have built a large database in Local.Live showing all of my company's retail locations. I would like to add a thematic layer (population density) to this map, but have not been able to do so. I am thinking that I will purchase Mappoint to help me do this, but was wondering, can my info in Local.Live be transferred to Mappoint Thank you so much, Melinda One more thing, any further discussions in relation to using the Mappoint 2006 CD product should be redirected to the Microsoft.Public.Mappoint newsgroups at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx dg=microsoft.public.mappoint&lang=en&cr=US To tell you the truth, I didn't know there was a Mappoint Web service.

• Tryin2Bgood Pocket PC access Web Service

  Hi. I have a pocketpc application to retrieve data from WebService and works fine only when I used url with IP...if I used server name I get an WebException... Code: ws = New WebService.Service1 ws.Timeout = timeoutWebService ws.Url = WebServicePath What I'm doing wrong Thanks in advance. I would guess your network has no address resolution service (which translates names into IP, such as DNS) at all or it’s not properly configured. The fact you can access "Google and other pages" is irrelevant. It just means you have access to name server which can resolve "Google and other pages". It does not mean this name server even knows about your PC. I ...Show All

• eclere Transferring data programming method

  I am going to develop an application for Windows Mobile 2003 smart device (using .net compact framework 2.0) The application will be able to transfer data both ways (between device and server). The application must be able to transfer using any available connection (cable or bluetooth or wireless or gprs).

• GDigrego Flickering video when hosting Windows Media Player in .NET CF Application

  I have a problem concerning the Integration of the Windows Media Player (ActiveX-) component into my pocketPC-application. I have followed the instructions of Alex Feinmans example ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa446515.aspx ), who describes how to host an ActiveX-Component in the .NET CF. Everything works fine now, BUT when I run the example and try to play a video file, the video is flickering, with black horizontal bars/lines on the frames. I've tried to scale the size of the video down, but this takes no effect on the flickering. Also scaling the speed of the mobile device up or down doesn't solve this problem. I've tried several different video files (WMV). Does any one have an idea what might be the problem and how to so ...Show All

• gokce System.Console.ReadLine() always return lowered case string -_-!

  Hi, I have a console application that takes user input: seq = System.Console.ReadLine() System.Console.Write("TTT {0}", seq) Readline() somehow always converted the string into lower case so "ABCabc" would become "abcabc" which is not what I really want Is there any way to take user input as it is Thanks, Unless you are doing something in between the following will output the strings in the same case as there  were entered.  This is a console application - so perhaps you may be doing something different - perhaps you can enlighten us with a bit more info.

• Timmy0614 SqlCe CABs not deploying correctly (CeAppMgr / Setup.ini)

  Does anyone know if it's possible to deploy more than one cab file to a mobile device using CEAppMgr.exe I've followed the guidelines on the MS site and created an installation dll and setup application. My setup.ini file contains a comma delimited list of the cab files that I want to install, but only the first one in the list ever gets installed. It doesn't matter what order I put them in, it's always the first one in the list that is used. The cab files that I've been using do not require the device to reboot. And here's an example of the setup.ini file: [ceAppManager] Version = 1.0 Component = MyApp [MyApp] Description = MyApp Uninstall = CloseOut CabFiles = sqlce30.repl.ppc.wce5.armv4i.CAB,sqlce30.ppc.wce5.armv4i.CAB The ...Show All
