• Thomas Epting how to play audio files(mp3,wma,3gp,mid and so on) on Windows mobile5

  Isn't there any method to play such audio formats on windows mobile5 directly I have read some messages in this forum.It seems that I have to implement source filter for each audio format if I use directshow. how about media player activex control It seems that it can not work well on Windows mobile5 either. In Windows Mobile 5, there is no good way to play all those sound formats. You can use SndPlaySound and Play sound to play WAV files though (check http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms903667.aspx ). I know it's not possible to play all these formats without extra work.Now I can play mp3,wma and wav files by hosting WMP activex control into a windows application.It seems that by using directs ...Show All

• GinaK why is an end date mandatory when creating an order?

  I am unable to add an order (via sandbox API) unless I set a valid end date in my request. But in the GUI, you have the option to not set the end date on an order. This seems like an inconsistency. Thanks, Neil You're absolutely right that it is inconsistent and misleading. An end date is actually mandatory, and the GUI internally is setting it to an end date of 12/31/2015, when you choose "no end date". Again, I agree it is misleading and the issue was reported to us in the past, I am working with the GUI folks to fix it. ...Show All

• Chris Fink Serial Port Communication

  Hallo, I wrote a little prog, which sends a message and the messages md5 over the serial port: I'm using Visual Studio 2005.NET, PocketPc-Emulator and a virtual serialport-driver. This way I connected the emulator to COM2 and COM2 to COM15. So I can send and receive Data via the emulator on COM2 and via Win32-Application on COM15. For testing I write all incoming Data on the emulator to the serial output. Private Function com_sendString(ByVal toSend As String) As Boolean Dim hash As String hash = "##HASH:" & md5(toSend) & "##" Try If (serialPort.IsOpen = True) Then serialPort.WriteLine(toSend & hash) Else MsgBox("Port is closed!!")

• rough Pocket PC Screen Size

  I've developed a pocket pc application which works fine on emulators, but when running on an o2 xda exec (larger pixel screen size) the screen sizes all halve, how can i get the program to run on all pocket pc's no matter what size of screen As far as I know, you must test the application on each device, and move UI elements around accordingly. However, you can minimize your work by docking/anchoring UI controls rather than setting absolute positions. You can get screen's size with System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds or System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea and than optimize your UI before you change anyth ...Show All
