• DoS How can display Transparent PNG on the device based on WinCE5.0 by eVC

  Hi all: Now I need to load PNG resources, for PNG have two benefits than Bitmap:one is smaller, and the other is transparent. After a bit try, using IImage, IImagingFactory, and now I only can display PNG image without transparent. below is my code, I think the problem is CreateCompatibleBitmap, because this function create a bitmap without Alpha channel, but another unfortunately things is in our device sdk, cann't use AlphaBlend function. In Alex Feinman's blog, in OpenNETCF can realize transparent PNG, can reference in this links:http://blog.opennetcf.org/afeinman/PermaLink,guid,8fb585db-bd44-42fe-afa9-07b116c6d2ba.aspx HBITMAP CTigerPNGTestDlg::PNGToBMP(HDC hdc, LPCTSTR ResourceName) {  HGLOBAL&n ...Show All

• Martin Schmidt Play video in embedded player...(@sriram)

  Hi, I want to make a form with an embedded light player for mpeg video files. I try to see the OpenNetCF library but this supports only sound files. Does someone know fast way to implement simple player in C# for windows mobile 5.0 Thanks a lot ...

• Sniper167 VEPushpin.OnMouseOverCallback 'x' Value Inconsistency

  I'm working with the VEPushpin.OnMouseOverCallback function and I've run into an issue where the 'x' value provided to this callback is not consistent. The code pasted below illustrates this situation. Specifically notice the style on the div 'myMap' that includes "left:100px;". In this code the callback displays an alert that shows the value of x, y, title and details. The inconsistency is that after this page loads (in IE or Firefox) the first time you hover over the pushpin (on Minneapolis, MN) the x value includes the 100px offset. The second, third, ... time I hover over the pushpin the x value DOES NOT include the 100px offset. This code is a simplified version of what is happening in my app. I was hoping to use the x a ...Show All

• Jonathan Wong A Newbie to this API

  First off, I think I'm a bit confused as to the purpose of this API. Is this solely to create "activities" that you do with whomever you're conversing with in Messenger Or can it be used to extend the capabilities of WLM itself. I'm hoping it's the latter, as I would really like to develop a "What I'm Listening To" extention for Rhapsody. I'm not even sure if that's possible, but assuming it is, it would be a cool extention for me. I use it the most (though I do use Windows Media Player sometimes). So I guess my second question would be, what would I need to access in order to change that The Activity SDK is only for creating activities, but you can use the Add-In SDK to add features ...Show All

  Hi all, do i have to override this Control if I need to make use of the up and down buttons Thanks Hi Peter, it seems there is no way for me to override the UpButton and DownButton events of the DomianUpDown Control in the Compact Framework. I get errors when simply compiling the following, and it doesn't state anything on the MSDN about the Compact Framework having the possibility of overriding this properties/methods... public override void UpButton() { } So is this a fact, that users have now way of determining which of the buttons was pressed by the user in the DomainUpDown control Thanks OK - is there any chance you can move this thread to that forum (Saves me from having to start a new thread).

• jdang The Driving Directions script does not work.

  Hi, I am working on the script that displayes the "RouteItenary" Class and whenever I implement it the map does not display. I searched for Javascript errors but there was none.

• laker2000 modal form will not close

  I have a C#, .NET Compact Framework 2.0 SP1 application. I have encountered a recurring problem where modal Forms displayed using the .ShowDialog() method sometimes will not close when their Dispose() method is called. When this problem occurs, the modal Form remains on-screen as the top-most window but is completely unresponsive and cannot be closed. This problem is actually worse than an application crash because the only way out is to use the Settings > System > Memory > Running Programs control panel to ‘Stop’ the application. The modal Form in question does not have a CancelEventHandler for the ‘Closing’ event. Is this a known problem If so, I urgently need a fix or work-around for this problem. I do not ...Show All

• Manuk Localised Versions of VE

  In the online documentation of VE it mentions that it is available in 13 languages. How can you switch so that the maps are showing in another language This means the map place names and not any dashboard text. E.g London will appear as Londres if choosing a French locale etc etc.. (I've notice that google maps just use the local spelling) That's a bit of an editing error. The 13-language support is for the MapPoint Web Service (the SOAP side of our Virtual Earth platform). It does not apply to the javascript control side of things. So if you want multi-language map support at this point, you should look at MWS. Links for more information are on that same page. I've asked the marketing folks to rewrite the page so that ...Show All
