• jatwood clickable polyline/polygon

  We can use pushin to create a clickable point to display information, what about clickable polylines and polygons For example, there is a street closed due to pipe line break, or new construction cause 2 miles of interstate highway closed, etc. I want to be able to do similar things with those lines, for example, hover or click on the line, and get information popup window, like those push pins.

• KThelen How to Loading a form fast??

  Hi All, I'm developting a pocket PC application using CF1.0. On one to my forms I have about 30 buttons.

How can I get this form to load quickly and display all button at once Thank Coss      One of the best way to speed up the form load is      Check the form inializecomponent method.

Rearrange all the control definition so that TAB control loads first then TAB pages. Load all the ...Show All

• Vladimir Sapronov Mobile application development : Which should use eVC++ or .NETCF ?

  Hi, To develope a mobile application what platform any one should select between .NETCF 2.0 and eVC 4.0.

• Thiru_ Error when displaying a context menu

  To all, I'm writing this for a custom WinCE 5.0 device. This code was part of a .NET dll that worked fine when compiled in VS 2003. My company is moving to VS 2005 and this problem popped up in a DLL that we've been using for years, This function is part of a custom NotifyIcon class that we wrote to put an icon in the Windows CE system tray and create a context menu when the user taps the icon. When compiled under VS 2003, everything works fine. When compiled under VS 2005, we get a runtime error when a user taps on the icon. Ive narrowed the error down to: m_MenuForm.ContextMenu.Show(m_MenuForm, new System.Drawing. Point (0, 0)); Which should show the context menu after user tap. Instead, the program crashes with an error ...Show All
