• praveench2k How to prevent user from powering off the PDA

  Dear all, I'm working for a communication program. I found if I power off the PDA when my program is in 'talking' state (sending and receiving RTP packets using socket), the system will be frozen and dead when I power on. So I decide not to allowed user to power off during talking. I could use SystemIdleTimerReset() to disable auto power off, but I don't know how to prevent the 'manual' power off. I know there must be a way, because I see Tomtom could do it. Could anyone give me a hint Thanks in advance! Yun I've found some stuff on power.  Namely the POWER_ACTION_POLICY in which it looks like you can change your the way in which a power down will occur.  I guess alternatively, you could somehow change the po ...Show All

• user_whatever keybd_event not firing OnKeyPress callback method

  I have a form that overrides the OnKeyPress() / OnKeyUp() / OnKeyDown() methods. When I do a P/Invoke call to keybd_event() it does not make it into these methods. Here is my P/Invoke: public const int KEYEVENTF_KEYUP = 2; public const int VK_RETURN = 0x0D; public void pressEnterKey() { //press the enter key keybd_event(VK_RETURN, 0, 0, 0); //releasethe enter key keybd_event(VK_RETURN, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0); } Is this a threading issue Thanks, -Alan- I'm in Windows Mobile 5.

• Scott Tachiki 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 Send an email to dcs@opennetcf.com 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 receivin ...Show All

  Hello, I want to know if there's an equivalent event in CF for event Enter for tabpages. Basically i want to fire an event whenever the user chooses a tabpage.

• Joseph22 CFile::SetLength() exception in Storage Card folder

  In the device emulator, CFile::SetLength() throws an exception when used on files in the Storage Card shared folder. Is this a bug or is that behavior to be expected Moving to Emulator forum - Barry might be able to help "This should be fixed with next release of WindowsCE/WindowsMobile and DeviceEmulator." Has this happened yet I'm also getting it on FlushFileBuffers(handle). Hmm this is the 2.0 beta. I guess I'll just ignore this exception if the previous write (of the same length) was successful.

• silenced any update/info on broken Remote Spy?

  I'm having some serious problems with using the version of Remote Spy that shipped with VS2005. I can connect and I can list windows, but when I try and watch events, I'll get two or three events then nothing, no more events show up. The version number of Remote Spy that I'm seeing this problem with is 5.1.1651.0. I've seen some mentions of this particular problem online, though I haven't seen anything official and I haven't seen any patches or updates to address this. The current workaround is to use an older version of Remote Spy (version 5.0.1.1440) that comes with either eVC4 and/or Platform Builder (not sure which). This workaround is not ideal since this older version won't work if copied to a WM5 development machine with only ...Show All

• MattP65 how to start develop C#.NET application on Windows Mobile 5

  i have install VS.NET and WM 5.0 SDK on my pc but i don't know how to config it to develop and run my application on my emulator No, you do not need to change any project properties, defaults should work. It's only natural to get an error like that if emulator is closed. But what happens if you don't close the emulator Form what you saying it appears emulator starts and VS deploys NETCF on to it which is how it should be. Note: it might take a while for deployment to finish for the first time, could be 15-20 minutes on slow PC. It appears everything worked OK and you're in debugger mode. You should be able to break into your code, set break points, step through the code and so on. The only problem I see with your ...Show All
