• popit DirectX for Windows CE 5.0+

  I am researching which fast graphics engine I can use for devices running Windows CE 5.0 and higher. (note: i am not referring to winmobile devices like the PPC, etc, but generic CE devices). Can anyone tell me the following: 1. Does DirectX support ALL generic CE devices v5.0+ 2. Does DirectX come pre-installed on these devices If not, can I redistribute DirectX easily as part of our installation 3.

• Toby Leduc Lock application + screen-saver

  Hi all, How would I go about locking an application so that one would need to re-enter a username and password to gain entry again. I know thats very vague so here goes; Background: Im new to C# and developing a C# mobile app which displays confidential info to the user. Ideally, if the user has not tapped the screen for x minutes, the application should lock itself and not permit the user to see what it was displaying. This functionality should also be available as an icon incase the user voluntarily wants to lock the application. This are my thoughts on accomplishing this: Have a thread that monitors for taps and if the time between last tap exceeds a certain threshold, then the screen lock is called (Is this possible in C# ). If the use ...Show All

• Jacquipre POOM MessageInterception for incoming emails

  Hello, I am using POOM "MessageInterception" to receive incoming SMS messages. Is it possible to use this mechanism to receive events on incoming SMTP(email) messages too Thanks, Asher Hi Alex, Thank you for the reply but I have last question before I am giving up from MessageIntersption. I notice that there is a capability to define the message class type in “MessageCondition” property.

• alphonso Knowing when Application.Run(MainForm) has finished showing the MainForm

  Hi all, Is there any way of knowing when the Application.Run(MainForm) has finished showing the MainForm I need to show another form on top of the MainForm, but i don't know when it's loading is finished and the new form is always hidden by the MainForm... Any help would be great!

• Luis Esteban Valencia Muñoz Contactscontrol, Messenger and Vista

  Hey Danny, Are there compatibility problems with the contactscontrol/activity window under Windows Vista I've incorporated the contactscontrol in an aspx page and it works fine in any browser (IE 7 and FF) but as soon as I launch it through Live Messenger's activity window I can't sign in. The "sign in" window pops up fine, but as soon as it closes nothing happens, it just sits there like I never clicked "sign in". It seems as if the "sign in" code doesn't pass through to the activity window. I've tested this on Win XP with Live Messenger and there it seems to work so there are strong indicators that Vista, Live Messenger and the contactscontrol is not a good cocktail. (Also it doesn't seem to work on MSN messenger versi ...Show All

• Natan Drozd Resize a WebBrowser Control

  Hi, i want to resize the height of the webbrowser control for the minimum necessary. How can i do that How can i know how much height i need Can i do that growing the height until it don't need scrollbars Thanks Mendex, I don't think there is any method for getting the height of the content from the browser control. Perhaps understanding why you want to do this will help us find a solution. Dan mendex, The web browser is probably your best solution. To get the height you need to use com interop to call mshtml.IHTMLElement2.scrollHeight. However, there isn't a way to get this interface from the web browser control. An alternative would be to see if there are any 3rd party dev ...Show All

• PhilAustin write to file...CFile?

  Hi folks. Simple problem and I've searched a lot and just can't seem to get it to work: I need to write null delimited strings to a simple text file on a smart device. I've tried CFile and CStdioFile and can't get it to work (I think because I can't figure out a way to convert a CString to a const char *). I tried this but I get a bunch of weird boxes at the end of and before every line of text: CString thisString = "Hello there"; writeToFile = thisString + _T( "\r\n" ); csfWrite.SeekToEnd(); csfWrite.WriteString(writeToFile); I just read that apparently CStdioFile is not supported in smart device applications... Is that true Can someone please tell/show me a way to write to a text file Thanx in ...Show All
