• rebeccat Treo 700w side button

  This question is specific to the Treo 700w. I want to get the state of the side button, whether it is being pressed down at the moment. I tried to use GetAsyncKeyState() with every number from 0 to 255 while I was holding down the side button. Then I played around with what window messages I could get because if I could get a window message when the button was released, then that would be ok as well. So I did SHSetAppKeyWndAssoc(0xc6, hDlg); But the only window message generated was WM_KEYDOWN. Then I tried RegisterHotKey(hDlg, 0xc6, MOD_WIN | MOD_KEYUP, 0xc6); But I got both WM_HOTKEY events, the one for the the button press and the one for the button release in immediate succession, even though I was still holding down the bu ...Show All

• Robeen_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 Invalidate does nothing else as instructing the OS to redraw the window. Search the forums for 'invaildate' for a more detailed answer. I'd suggest that you test your custom control on a Windows Mobile 5.0 device (Emulator would do as well) to s ...Show All

• Sarwanan Unknown error occurs when using ToolHelp functions in EVC++

  I use Embedded Visual C++ SP4 with Pocket 2003 SDK. When building a project occurs such error: program.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol CreateToolhelp32Snapshot referenced in function "bool __cdecl InitParent(struct HWND__ *)" ( InitParent@@YA_NPAUHWND__@@@Z) This error occurs with each ToolHelp call.

• bchan Hide Waypoints icons?

  Hi. I'm just getting into Virtual Earth for a project to track exercise mileage. As such I want to generate a route, which I can do. One of the first things I noticed is that I'd like to hide the waypoint icons on the route so that the participant's status pushpin on the route is more easily noticeable. Can this be done Thanks You beat me to it John. That was my code. I'm happy to see it has been useful. I'm going to be posting a DrawCircle function later today that accepts a starting lat/long and radius (in miles) and draws a circle on the map. Thanks SoulSolutions. That works great. I even figured out how to use my existing callback with the new one. Thanks again. An ...Show All

• GTH .NET compact framework 3 / WPF

  Hi, i've been looking for info about this but with no success, when will the .NET compact framework 3.0 be available (i am not taking about netcf3.5) .To be more precise, i would like to know when will the support for WPF be available on mobile devices, is it planed with Windows Mobile 6 or sooner thanks I agree with you... I just don’t think such a move is likely to happen immediately when there is still so little hardcore hardware on the market. Who knows, maybe we’ll see a 3.0 CF around the time Orcas ships and/or around the time. If WPF/E isn’t enough for you (does kinda suck that it doesn’t do 3d) and while you wait on a more capable WPF for the compact framework... there is always Direct3D . thanks for your respons ...Show All
