• Hans Preuer _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

• MFZ Can you exaggerate the terrain differential in 3D view?

  Just a quick question - i wanted to see if it were possible to (as you can in Google Earth) 'exaggerate' the terrain in VE 3D view. The terrain around the area i am studying is quite flat, but i need to see it in greater relief for the purposes of gravity calculation. Any suggestions/solutions welcome! Thanks for the suggestion, but that's not really what I'm trying to do. I need to be able to 'stretch' the z element in order to view the topography of an area in sharper relief. I believe that this feature is standard in Google Earth, and I wanted to achieve the same in VE. Have you had a play with this: http://heptazane.spaces.live.com/ Look for the Ghosts ...Show All

• Andreas Kranister Getting the Direction between 2 points.

  Hi all, Let me see if i can make you understand what i need to do. I have two points (like latlong points), and i want to know if X is set 'north ou south, east or west' from the Y point. Please if you know, tell me how to do that. And also please tell me if you don't understand what i mean. Thanks Ton Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong but if you just compare the lat/longs you can get this information. If lat1 is less than lat2 then point 2 is East of point 1 If long1 is less than long2 then point 2 is North of point 2 There's probably an easier calculation...something like (lat2 - lat1) / (long2 - long1) = slope Then use the slope to tell you the direction but it's been 11 years since I had Geometry.

• VincentShi EnableApplicationLauncher() catches state change only once

  Hello to everybody! While developing an C# application on Windows Mobile 5.0 , I came across the State and Notification Broker . It is really a nice thing, but as it seems, it is not very well documentet, especially when it comes to the managed code in Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status .

But only this time. After closing the application, it doesn’t start again, if Ph ...Show All

• Justin-M Aligning the TextBox to right?

  Hello How can I set my textbox as right aligned InitializeComponent(); m_adetTextBox.TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment .Right; I have add this line after InitializeComponent(),but it does nothing... I have found a way of WINAPI for Button controls.I tried and it works for Button controls but not for TextBox controls... so, what's the way of aligning the textbox to right Thanks in advance. You need to make the textbox multiline and only then can you (apperently) change the alignment of the textbox. I have just tried this, and if it is a singleline textbox, you only have the option of aligning it to the left. When you switch to multiline, you get the list of the rest of the alignment properties. &n ...Show All

• Banhnam Signing and compression questions

  Hi, I wonder if you guys could help me clear something up. I am new to the compact framework and indeed Windows Mobile in general - I have been reading up extensively recently but there is a couple of things I'm not totally sure of. I have read conflicting information on MS.com / msdn / blogs First i read that smart phone apps MUST be signed. "CAB files for Smartphone solutions must be digitally signed before they are deployed to an end-user's device. or use certain APIs". Then I read this "How you get "trust" is determined by the OEM or operator selling the device. For some devices, all apps are trusted. For others, you get trust after the user agrees to a prompt.
