• Arghya How to handle a message before the client displays it

  Greetings, I'm programming in C# with Visual 2005. I'm trying to implement an addin for WLM that will make some treatment on an incoming text message. So, I'd want to wait the end of the treatment to display the incoming text message into the "chat window" of WLM. When I handle the event IncomingTextMessage of the MessengerClient class, the text message is first displayed, and then, the event is handled. But I'd want do do the opposite: first handle the message, then make my stuffs, and finally display it. Is it possible And how Thanks a lot. R.P. I do not know your full scenario but check http://dev.live.com and see if ay of the sdk's there can help you. r0d wrote: Maybe it is p ...Show All

• barkingdog Application terminated unexpectedly, and no any message

  Hello I'm creating an application on Windows Mobile 5 using c#. This application uses the WebBrowser control to show a specific website. The problem that i am having occurs when the app runs on the device. (Motorola Q). For some strange reason the application shuts down as soon as it gets to the line : this.webBrowser1 = new System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser(); which is in the InitializeComponent() method. It does this without an exception. When i connect the device and debug from VS.net 2005. The app shut off and i get a cannot connect to this device message. How do you know it "crashes" in this specific line If you use NETCF V2 RTM instead of SP1, does that work Thanks for ...Show All

• MMMalik Patch Device from CF2 to CF2SP1

  I have devices in the field that have CFv2 installed on them. I need to upgrade these devices to CFv2 SP1. Since these devices are connecting over WWAN/Cellular I would like to just "patch" the devices without upgrading via the ~6M full install cab. I already have the system in place to deliver and install. Most devices are PPC 2003 and some are WM 2005. Does Microsoft provide a “patch” that will take a device with CFv2 and upgrade it to CFv2SP1 Or maybe there is a way to build the changes into a CAB I create Or something else I have not been able to find anything that indicates this is possible. Thanks for any help or ideas! No, there's no "patching" on CE. ...Show All

• MarkBosley Dashboard control

  Hi, How can I specify the dashboard position on the map In V2 there was an object parameter in MapControl() constructor. Using this object parameter I was able to specify where I want to place the dashboard. Is there something similar in V3 I tried playing with .Compass and .Zoombar styles but they move only compass and zoom bar respectively - the dashboard (light blue semitransparent box) remains in upper left corner of the map. Thank you, olley. <disclaimer> ...and a friendly reminder: if it's not in the SDK, it's not officially supported and could break at any time. </disclaimer> Sadly, the VEMap class only has the ShowDashboard and HideDashboard ...Show All

• GazNewt FAO The VE Developers - Get and Set ZoomLevel

  OK, we have been using VE now for a few months with grate affect but some of my sales staff are complaining a little bit about how the map zooms in and out. When working inside central London we need to zoom down to a certain level which is between the range we are aloud. Ideally I would love it if you could zoom the map with a double rather than an int16. Trying to send the SetZoomLevel a number like 4.5 seems to rip apart the map big time and put random image tiles into the area you are looking at. Is there any future plans of making the zoom level more accurate or are we stuck with the 19 levels Yeah I did think exactly the same as what you said mate, i should really have phrased the question a ...Show All

• iq662000 CSS issue: custom control DIV being draw outside of the map

  Does anyone have a sure-fire way to get a custom control DIV box to appear within the maps boundaries and not draw outside. For my project the standard "dashboard" zoom in and zoom out control is not sufficient. My map is in a fiv with position:relative, which is in a div with position:relative and in a container with position:relative... when I draw a custom control div, it gets drawn relative to the outer-most position:relation container and thus outside of the map.

  I have a wm5 device with activesync, which was installed with activesync 4.2 for xp. Now I switched to vista and mobile device center and when I connect device using usb internet stops working.

• Kamii47 Windows Mobile 2003 Development & Quicklaunch Interface

  I am developing a PocketPC App and have successfully installed it and am in the testing phase etc. On my device there is a "Today" embedded app called "Quicklaunch" that I can configure (add applications to display and run). My application displays as a possible application yet when I choose it as a "Quicklaunch" app, it does not appear on the Mobile Desktop (Today Screen). There is no Icon... Actually, when I select the application it in the settings/Today/Items area of my mobile device it does not show the small icon either (like other apps). This I think is my problem. I have defined an Icon in the properties of my project before compilation, compiled it, and installed the app... I seem to be able to ...Show All

• lasa how can i turn off website grouping in the API?

  the results that are returned have websites grouped together, which is not true "ranking" order. is there a way to set this value anybody know of a more active forum for MSN search API this one seems pretty dead... I'm having the opposite problem. For queries restricted to a group of, say, 10 sites, the API returns results ungrouped -- which means that there can be 20 very similar results from the same site listed first. That's not a good thing. In general, how can this grouped results parameter be turned on or off Stephen nobody has needed to change this setting If you look on this page http://search.msn.com/settings.aspx ...Show All

• Dan Wahlin Cancelling a sub routine

  If I make a simple form with a button on it which when pressed runs a sub routine, how do I pass a cancel command to it to stop the routine I have been messing around with various different methods but nothing seems to work. Once I have pressed the button on the form and set the sub routine going, nothing on the form is then accessible, apart from the X to kill the form. On pressing that, ther form becomes inactive, but the sub routine still keeps running. Any suggestions would be appreciated! You should use a separate thread to do that work so you won’t block your forms. Your form will remain responsive so you can kill a thread if you’d like to cancel the work. See this for ...Show All
