• Toni Greco _WIN32_WCE is hex and not decimal in VS2005

  I just noticed something and I can't figure out how it's working at all for anybody. Surely I'm missing something obvious. If I make a new project in eVC 4.0 then the project settings will define the following: _WIN32_WCE=$(CEVersion) So for my Pocket PC 2003 configuration _WIN32_WCE winds up having a value of 420 (decimal). This makes sense since all of the Windows CE Platform SDK's compare this constant with decimal values like 300, 420, and 500. However if I create a new Smart Device project in VS2005 then the project settings define the following: _WIN32_WCE=$(CEVER) But this time $(CEVER) is defined as 0x420 ( hex ). Now all of the comparisons are incorrect. Am I missing something here Surely this isn't a bug in VS20 ...Show All

• JocularJoe Did something bad happen to the v3 api/endpoint? My maps are now all failing

  Did something bad occur to the v3 version as a result of this new release My maps are all failing. Is this still the js reference - http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/v3/mapcontrol.js Thanks,. Jeff but it said it would not affect V2 or V3 when it gets released. It would hardly be fair to force everyone to have to update all there clients because of a new release. Thats no the way Microsoft work. Hi all, We became aware of this issue a couple of hours ago, as soon as we flipped the switch on the new v4 map control. The folks here got to work right away on it, and it looks like we have it fixed now (as of about 10 seconds ago :). We are very sorry for the inconvenience. If there are any ...Show All

• DankS problems with Smart Device Configuration Package

  Hi, Everytime I open my embedded project in VS2005 I get the following message: The Smart Device Configuration Package ({blah blah....}) did not load because of previous errors.

• Douglas H. Troy Keyboard scan code in emulator skin

  I've been remapping an adding some buttons in the smartphone skin to emulate the form factor of my final device but I can't figure out what the scan code values are. I've looked at the output from my keyboard device driver and they don't match the values in the skin. e.g. volume up 0x40 = device scan code 0x47. Some values simply don't even reach the device driver e.g. 0x59. What is going on here The Device Emulator skins actually use PC/AT 101 keyboard scancodes, for backward compatibility with the x86 emulator's skin files.

• Yasir Imran Measuring startup time of a application.

  Is there an accurate way of measuring the startup time of an application within the application itself At the moment I've experimented with the GetThreadTimes(...) on getCurrentThread(), but I'm not sure if that will give me the times I want, and also the resolution of the timers didn't seem that accurate. When is the main thread actually created, after or before the dlls have been loaded I basically want the time from an application is started (a user clicks on it) until WinMain(...) has been started. At the moment the "best" solution I've found is to make a small native application that calls CreateProcess(...) on the application I want to test and uses GetTickCount() as an argument. I can then call getTickCount() again and m ...Show All
