pankaj sharma103086 Custom Application.Run()
hello, The Compact Framework requires the developers to start the application message loop on a given form. Therefore there is no Application.Run() method that can be called without a form instance as a parameter. For our applicationstructure this is very annoying, and I know that the OpenNETCF variant allows this. The problem is that we cannot use this library in our projects. Does anybody know what is needed to implement this method by hand Thanks in advance. Application.Run () does what a classic Windows message loop would do. The core of the implementation may look like this: while (NativeMethods.GetMessage ()) { NativeMethods.TranslateMessage (); NativeMethods.DispatchMessage () } With some tests you should be able to g ...Show All
Brian Kramer Deploying Multiple cab files at once
I have developed my application and created the .cab file for this application. I followed the tutorial on creating an MSI file and custominstaller and this works fine.

Species2175 Finding the handle of the specific buit in application
hi, I m again struck in the Camera Issue. I m using FindWindow() for this, giving the classname. But the problem is the class name would be different for all the devices. is there any way to have directly the handle of the camera id running. plz help.thanx in advance. I had this same problem, and never found a good solution, because even if you explicitly name your window, some devices will prefix the window name with 'Camera' or similar. I'd be interested to see what you eventually learn here. I simply tested on a variety of devices, and mapped against the device type. ...Show All

Will George Configuring WIFI with Pocket PC 2003
I am trying to configure an ad-hoc WIFI connection programmatically for a kiosk type application that needs to download pictures from a WI-FI camera. The Pocket PC is 2003 and the application is C++ based. So far the best option I can find is to implement this using the WZC Api since the call to DMProcessConfigXML does not seem to have SSID, etc. Are there any other options that I have overlooked The end users will not have access to the WEP key so we cannot use any automatic UI in this case and would pair the ad-hoc devices remotely. I would be grateful for any suggestions, and confirmation that I am on the right track. One more question - I have so far used the WZC API dynamically since we don't have Platform Builder.

maulikk I can debug on emulator, but I can't do it on device!
-VS2005 SP1 -VB Project for a Windows Mobile 5.0 PocketPC Device If I set a breakpoint, the project breaks ONLY if the target is the emulator. If I try to debug on the device, the breakpoints turn from the "red ball icon" to a "red circle icon" with a small yellow warning triangle in it. The message over the warning is something like "breakpoint will not be used. The specified module has not been loaded". Is there something I can do Why this different behaviour from the emulator to the device The problem is not specific of my project: if I create a new one, with just a couple of lines, the problem is the same: I can debug on the emulator and I can't on the device.
