• programmer01 WindowsMobile.DirectX.Direct3D.VertexBuffer and .Texture are always disposed on DeviceLost event.

  Hi! The WindowsMobile.DirectX.Direct3D.VertexBuffer and WindowsMobile.DirectX.Direct3D.Texture objects I use always dispose themselves (and VertexBuffers recreate later) on Device.Reset() call even when I allocate them from the Pool.SystemMemory as opposed to non-Mobile Managed Direct3D behavior where only resources located in the Default Pool are recreated. The prove is the disassembler result of WindowsMobile.DirectX.Direct3D.VertexBuffer, which is: private void OnParentLost ( object o, EventArgs eventg) { this . Dispose (! this . m_fRecreate ); if ( this . m_fRecreate ) { base . m_device . DeviceReset += new EventHandler ( this . OnParentReset ); this . m_fResetReady = true ; } } while the one o ...Show All

• Tyler Flaherty TypedDataSet, Datareader or SqlCEResultSet

  Hi, I need to know whether using TypedDataSet when developing PocketPC applications is good practice.i really like working with TypedDataSet because it is quite easy but I'm afraid that I will have problems with the performance.I want to ask which is the bast way for dataAccess ,which is the best-TypedDataSe,DataReader or SqlCeResultSet and why. Thank you for the attention The very fact there are different ways to do it means there's no one-fits-all solution. All these ways have benefits and drawbacks so you should pick whatever's best for your scenario, time line and development skills. Perhaps little prototype would help you choose. ...Show All

• Kyco There currently are no approved Robot applications in our gallery.

  I've just opened the Robot Gallery in RobotInvaders.com and I've found that "there are no approved Robot applications": ------------------------ There currently are no approved Robot applications in our gallery. ------------------------ Anyone knows what's happening L This changed last wednesday, and at that time (I don't know it exactly, but checked a few hours before and they were still there) it was like 3 AM in the USA.... I got Todd in my MSN list, so I asked him what was happening, and usually he responds (most of the time with: sorry, in a meeting right now) but since the 15th I haven't heard anything of him. I guess they are still busy judging or so... And as I said before, m ...Show All

• rolandpish How to differentiate between Windows CE 5 and Windows Mobile 5

  Hi! I am writing .Net app (C#) that will run on various handheld devices (pocket pc). Some of devices running Windows CE 5 (like Symbol MC 3000), some Windows Mobile 5 (Symbol MC 70). In Windows Mobile form menu displayed on the bottom of the form, in Windows Mobile - on top and blocking the first label on the form (I want to display label on the very top of the screen to use the space efficiently). I did extensive "googling" to find out how I can programmatically detect the menu position on the screen or differentiate between OS flavours (on both devices I am getting OS Platform "WinCE" and version 5). It is very frustrating that such a simple task takes so much effort... Any advice or pointing in the ri ...Show All

• HSBF Lewe CreateWindow and WM_ACTIVATE syncronization?

  Hello I noticed that after calling CreateWindow a message is dispatched to WM_ACTIVATE. My question is if there is any way using the SDK to determine if this is the first time WM_ACTIVATE is being called or not. My problem is that I have data that needs to be initialized in order for WM_ACTIVATE to work properly and this is not the case when WM_ACTIVATE is triggered by CreateWindow. The solution I have today uses a boolean flag to check for first occurrence but my question is if this would be possible to solve using a SDK function. Perhaps by checking if the window has been created or not Any ideas Many thanks, Martin Malek I'm not aware of any APIs that would allow this. One of the first messages a window receives is the WM_C ...Show All

• _sarge Problem by showing extended menu item on "locked" devices.

  Hello everyone, I wrote a DLL that operates as an extended menu item in the inbox of the pocket-outlook under WM 5.0 Smartphone. In the DLL I wrote a class that implements IObjectWithSite and IContextMenu COM interfaces. During developing I had to add “Authenticode Signature” in the DLL project properties and I succeed to display the menu item on the emulator. I created also a CAB file that installs my DLL on device. The DLL register as an extended menu item (as a COM object) in the device’s registry. Until this point all worked well. The problem occurs when I made a hard reset. I installed the CAB file as I did before but the extended menu item just refused to appear. I remembered that I had to unlock the device wi ...Show All

• johnny_no1_boy Positioning the on-screen Keyboard

  Hi all, I would like to be able to position the on-screen keyboard that is provided through my Smart Device. If I try to use the following... inputPanel1.Bounds.Location = new Point(0, 159); I get an error saying its not a variable. Yet, when I mouseover Location, it states that I can get or set the location. Is this not possible Thanks Tryst The Bounds property on InputPanel only exposes the "getter" method. You cannot position it where you want. The comment you see on mouse-over is a generic comment for the Rectangle structure. Try creating your own: Rectangle rc = new Rectangle(); rc.Location = new Point(0,0); Mous over Location above and you will get the same tooltip. The read-only-ness of the Bounds prop ...Show All
