• nithinraj _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

• NeTBaPb Draw nice line Compact Framework

  I want to draw some lines and basic shapes on screen in Compact Framework. I've used the Graphics class and a bitmap, and then added the bitmap to a picturebox. The problem is the lines look like *** when they are not going straight up or to the side, and by *** I mean that it looks like stairs. Anyone know how I can fix this problem Try the AntiAlias SmoothingMode when drawing your line. My screen is 640*480 pixels, and that's what I use for my bitmap. I tried to set the bitmap to 6400*4800 and then set the sizemode property for the picturebox to stretch, but the result was the same, the line is like a stair. I guess I might have to use some visual "cheat" or something, but don't know w ...Show All

• Sweeps78 How to detect if a Smartphone application is put in the background?!

  Hi there! Following problem: I have a Smartphone application which has main window which consists of a single (docked) TreeView. I need to perform certain tasks when the application is put in the background. That is when the Escape/Back key (KeyCode 27) is pressed. However it looks like and TreeView / ListView eats up that KeyCode. I tried a number of things but i simply can't get the escape key event. This is probably because the escape key might also be used to collapse tree nodes. So how on earth can the application figure out, when it is put in the background when neither the TreeView nor the Form fires the KeyUp event for the Escape/Back key Do i have to do some dodgy constructs with the OnDeactivate / OnMinimise event ...Show All
