• Jay K POOM: Can't delete appointment if using IAppointment*->Display

  In Windows Mobile 5 for Smartphone POOM is now supporting the Display method in ITask, IAppointment and IContact (Display was not working in pre-WM5 versions). The Contact card and Appointment card also have a menu connected with the right soft key - the menu enables to beam the contact or the appointment, edit the contact, etc. In the Appointment card, however, the "Delete" menu item is not working. The same command works perfectly in the Contact card - you get a dialog asking to confirm the operation and, upon confirmation, the contact is removed. With the appointment menu, no way - the appointment is retained. Tested on two different Smartphone models from two different OEMs. Is anyone aware of this issue and of a workar ...Show All

• Jason D. Camp Soft-reset on a WM2005 device removes registry entries created by cabinet files

  A soft-reset on a WM2005 device removes registry entries which where created by cabinet files... Why How to avoid this xxxx behaviour! The same applications / CABs worked on PPC2002 and WM2003... Regards, hfrmobile The registry settings which where removed by the soft-reset where made a long time agoo (some days to weeks!!) How to flush registry settings changed to flash memory BTW: The newer registry settings which I have done manually using a registry editor where not removed. Only the registry settings made by CAB installation files where removed after soft-reset... WM 5.0 uses flash for storage, it takes some time to flush changes from RAM to flash. Make sure to wait a while before resetting device after making ...Show All

• RMooreFL Unicode VS ANSI encoded files on Windows Mobile Devices

  Hi All, I'm very much aware of the sole use of unicode on Windows Mobile devices and that .NETCF2.0 strings are all unicode based.  I've developed an application that reads INI based files.  I created this file on my laptop and ignored the fact I saved the file with ANSI encoding.  This did not give me a problem reading the file though.  It worked just fine.  I haven't yet written code to write to the file so I've no idea whether I will get a problem.  I've since realised that this file is ANSI based so I saved it a Unicode just in case.  Obviously it doubles the size of the file. I'm going to be using a lot of text based files in this application (some rather large) and wondered if ANSI would ...Show All

• StarSS skipping among controls of form

  when navigate through controls that placed on Form (or panel), the ‘next’ of the last placed control is the first control that placed on the form (with the assumption that we keep the tab order..), my question how can I change the form behaviors that when last control is focused, this skipping will not take place (the only way to move will be up), like all the native menus of the WM OS. thanks, Oren Why would you want to double maximum navigation time Anyway, you can disable normal tab stops and implement your own navigation which would do what you need. Probably can be done with key preview. Hi Guys, You may have already tried this, however, this may help... Private Sub fr ...Show All

• brian_tsim UserControl Databinding

  Hello, I would like to create a usercontrol with labels and checkboxes. It should seem like datagrid but with one column of labels and one column of checkboxes. Datasource of the my usercontrol would be a dataset. I dont have any idea how to do it... If you “don’t have any idea how to do it” then it’s impossible for you to do. You can, however, extend existing DataGrid, see this . Hello sedlin, This solution may help you if you do want to use a usercontrol. Add a new datasource first, a typed datasource will be created. Set the display property of the column, e.g, Label and CheckBox. Drag them onto UI of your usercontrol. Hope this can help you. Thanks~ Zero Dai Thanks! That is exact ...Show All

• WebService4Ever Obtain the name of the current executing Function

  Hi I need to obtain the name of the function which it’s executing, in other words the function need to know its name. Thanks for your help. That is not a solution because System.Diagnostics.StackTrace is not part of the Compact Framework. Any other ideas On desktop I would probably use MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod() instead of StackTrace, but yes - it's easy to do on desktop. It's not a very common task though and it was not needed internally so it was cut on devices. It’s incredible that there is no way to obtain this info.In the full framework you could go throw the system.diagnostics.stacktrace. I think that if when and excepction come you have the information about the st ...Show All
