• Whoisit 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. My problem comes from the fact that my application must also install .NET framework 2.0 and the SQLMobile .Cab file. I am wanting to package all of these together and be able to deploy them at one time from a users PC. I am not wanting to make the user click on each cab file to execute them. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial to accomplish this, or give me a good idea on how to do it. Thanks for any help Can I use installer.dll to do what I am wanting to do.  If I create different .cab projects and dif ...Show All

• idthiru launch picturebox

  How do i create a vb program so that when executed, there is no form window but only a picturebox shown You can't have both!

• Bramley MessageBox On Exit

  I am developing a dialog based application for PocketPC 2003 in Visual C++, and I would like it to pop up a warning box after the user dismisses the main dialog box if certain conditions are met. I tried putting the MessageBox command into the the code block that runs after the user presses "OK", but while this produces the message box properly, it also closes it immediately thereafter. I also tried making a new dialog class/resource, and doing a DoModal() function in the same code block, with no luck. Is there some way I can get a message box to show on exit (any time after the user presses OK on the main dialog) and remain on the screen until the user dismisses it I found a similar request in another thread, but it was based on ...Show All

• eTape how can i associate my app to one button?

  Hi, all, I am doing some application on my WM5.0 smartphone by using VS 2005. How can I associate my app with one button I mean, when you push this button, my app will be executed, instead of every time going the directory and execute my app Thanks for the reply! Sounds like you need a service running in the background. You can activate a service by using ActivateService: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/wcecomm5/html/wce50lrfactivateservice.asp Just to give you my 2 cents overriding a button on your cellphone is probably not a good idea. Other programs may be relying on that button and so if they need it, your app would always launch as well as performing the standard operation. This would le ...Show All

• carstensm Battery indicator on ToolBar? How to?

  I got a requirement to place a battery indicator on the ToolBar of a .NET CF 2.0 form on Pocket PC 2003. I started by assuming that I could derive a custom control from ToolBar, and modify OnPaint to add my indicator. But to my surprise, OnPaint is in fact never called. The designer of the System.Windows.Forms.ToolBar must have gone to great lengths to hide/disable/avoid all the functionality inherited from the Control class. For example CreateGraphics is not supported ! I now have a working method using PInvoke GDI that looks OK, but feels somewhat like a HACK. What is the "correct" way to do it. I will "reveal" my code later. Hi Alex, That was my first approach, but it h ...Show All

• Schnoogs HTTPS problem on Palm Treo 700w

  Hi, I've been having problems POSTing to an SSL server on the above device using .Net 1.0. I've seen the other posts on ensuring the latest Service pack is installed and it is for this device. When writing to the output stream I seem to be getting a 100036 i.e. ' WSAEINPROGRESS ', usually the first request goes through OK but subsequent requests fail with this error. Using plain http, everything works fine. Sometimes when debugging on the device if I break before the write then continue it seems to work. I've cut the code into a test app to check things out and included it below (data has been truncated). Any thoughts would be appreciated, Thanks Graeme try { Uri ourUri = new Uri("https://myserver/response.asp" ...Show All
