• luca82 How to get vga device emulation

  none of the shortcuts emulate a hidpi device, i.e. vga. i created my own shortcut using the command line args, set video to 480x640x16 and it gave a vga screen, but it was not 'hidpi', it was the same as running sevga on a true vga device, i.e. not what the user normally sees. anyone got proper emulation of a wm2003se vga device There must be something wrong with your ROM files. I can successfully launch the PPC VGA emulator with the following command: cd <location of the BIN files>c:\Program Files\Microsoft Device Emulator\1.0\DeviceEmulator.exe PPC_USA_VGA.BIN /language 2055 /memsize 128 /video 480x640x16 Thanks Carl I'm using the community preview of the standalone emulator.

• JinFan Batch Location Additions / Location Import

  Hi, I'm new to the local.live mapping system and need a way of adding location push-pins in batches, I have a CSV text file with about 100 locations - is there any way of importing these into a saved map Thanks Rob Glad I could help. This topic also has been discussed pretty much in length in older threads too, so if you get stuck first I'd recommend you look up "geoRSS" inside the search textbox.  It'd be hard to convert a CSV file into a geoRSS, but its possible to write an app that creates the xml format (in .NET say, using XMLBuilder and appending to nodes) and then reading off of the file. You'll need some work to convert that CSV file to the appropriate GeoRSS file. You'll need to uploa ...Show All

You can manipulate the map position using this function function PanMap(x,y,latlong) { if (x!=null & y!=null) { map.Pan(x,y); } else if (latlong!=null) { map.PanToLatLong(latlong); } } Then... PanMap(null,null,new VELatLong('YourLat','YourLon')); []'s Yep, Mauricio is right. You can also use the VEMap.SetCenter and VEMap.SetCenterAndZoom methods to change the map location. ...Show All

• Thibaud Check for land / disable zoom

  Hey I have 2 questions, that I'm hoping you can help me with. 1. Is it posible to determine if a specific position is land or water 2. Is it posible to disable the mouse wheel zoom function Or just disable zoom In my current project I need to get a weather forecast for any particular location on a map, so we used MapPoint to get the ZipCode from the VELatLong of the point, which we could then use in any number of services. So I was lucky to have just stumbled accross the GetLocationinfo call 1. No. 2. Not specifically. There are 2 things you can do: a. You can lock the entire map so that no user interaction is possible. b. You can set a global variable to the current map zoom l ...Show All

• Srikant0102 Get rid of/disable/reprogram X

  I'm developing an MFC app for a Pocket PC type device. Most of my dialogs were automaticly given an OK in the upper right corner that caused that dialog to close and I disabled it but replacing the void OnOK() function with one of my own. However the main window is given an X in the corner that causes the window to close (and dosn't even stop the program), i've tried replacing OnOK() OnCancel() OnClose() OnDestroy() without any sucess of intercepting/detecting when the user pressed the X. How can I do it Dave, You need to switch your inheritence in the main form from whatever it is(maybe Cwindow ) to CDialog. You may have to modify a few CWindow specific items. see http://www.pocketpcdn.com/art ...Show All

• kymaita Automating Windows Live Messenger

  Our organisation uses a large bespoke application for most of its work, but we also use Live messenger for instant messenging - as such we would like a form or linking or automation between these two apps, so when we click on a users name in our app, we would like Messenger to pop open an instant messaging window to that person - no need to populate it with any text (though that could also be useful) Any ideas I have an application that can call a dll. I'd like to write a dll for this application. This dll, written in Visual Basic .NET, would be used to send an instant message out via Windows Messenger or Windows Live Messenger. So the application calls the dll and the dll sends out an instant message via Windows Messenger or W ...Show All
