• JasonRL How to determine if phone has SMS capability?

  Hi. I am using VS2005/VB.Net and CF2 to write applications for Windows Mobile 5 Smartphones. I'm developing an application that relies on the phone having the ability to send and receive SMS message. I believe (but I could be wrong) that in some countries, and/or with some network providers, that the ability to use SMS is something that must be "turned on" by the network provider and/or setup within the phone. Therefore, I would like my application to be able to confirm that SMS is enabled and working on the phone, and if not, inform the user appropriately, rather than the user thinking that my application isn't working as intended. So, is there a way to programmatically determine if the Smartphone has the ab ...Show All

• Nupur Agarwal change the vmid and mac address in a state-save file

  Hi All i assumed a state-save file has a vmid and mac inside, right then if load a state-save file on another machine, there will be some problems. so can i change the vmid and mac address of a state-save file or is there some other way to fix that Thanks in advance Terry Thanks! yes, the best way is to making a save-state without checking the NE2000. but does that mean if i launch emulator with this savestate, then the emulator will look up the MAC list in the registry i.e HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Device Emulator\MAC Addresses what's more, if i start emulator with vmid value in the registry, it will also select a MAC address from the rigistry, right TerryPeng ...Show All

• D. Omar Villarreal Windows CE.Net Version 4.20

  Ok, I have an application developed on VS 2005, and it runs fine on Windows Mobile 5.0. Now, I've tried to install and run on CE.Net Ver 4.20 and it doesn't run at all. I've had a look around on this site and found some info, and I installed the .NET framework service pack 1 patch, and then I copied over the NETCFv2.wce4.ARMV4.cab file. Then it goes wrong! I try to install, and it doesn't want to know it - I get a message '....failed to install because the installation file is not intended for this device' So, is there any way around this, or is that it, no go There's no NETCF V2 ARMV4I CAB for CE 4.2, ARMV4I binaries are inside ARMV4 CAB. If you look through the log file you'll see how they are deployed. So you do ha ...Show All

• Learning VB drop down loses value

  I have ported an app from vb.net03 to vb.net 05 for windows mobile 5. 1 issue that I haven't figured out is when you choose a value in a drop down the Text stays highlighted. The problem is if you go to the next form after choosing the value, that value is lost. I have tried changing the focus on the page to another control in the selectindexchanged function but the value goes back to null in the drop down control. Anybody else have this problem Can you try this on device emulator Manav Are you seeing this problem when you're running the program in the device emulator or the actual device You may want to run the application for Compact Framework 1.0 instead of 2.0 - Try creating PPC 2003 app. ...Show All

• Michael Vainer Select Image?

  on a smartphone running .NET CF 2.0 SP1 (WM5), is it possible for an image control (Picturebox) to have it selected/focused As I navigate, I am unable to get its focus, however on PPC I can. If it is not possible on the smartphones, what other alternative is there so that the user can click on an image and I can handle the click event You can buy custom button controls. They are fairly cheap Create a UserControl that has a PictureBox anchored top/left/bottom/right one pixel from the bounds of the UserControl. When the PB receives focus, set the focus to your UserControl. When your UserControl gets/loses focus, invalidate. In your OnPaint override, draw a rectangle using the 1 pixel border left.

• sunil_sg Options for sending (Windows Live) Alerts

  Hi, I’d like to know the options for sending (Windows Live) Alerts. A quick look around I’ve found: http://signup.alerts.live.com/brochure/index.jsp - This looks like the most current approach, but it doesn’t fit well our model. MSN Alerts SDK and Integration Specification ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnlive/html/winliveidserv.asp ) looks promising, but it seems to be phasing out since the test links don’t work, only the production ones. At last, there is the Microsoft Alerts Version 6.0 Software Development Kit ( http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyID=6257ad22-8d67-4cf0-b2d2-08e0cfe6c8ce&DisplayLang=en ).

• The Code Monkey Any way to animate between pushpins?

  Hi, I was wondering if there's support in the VE SDK to animate between pushpins. Let's say I have three pushpins in 1. Madrid, 2. New York and 3. Seattle ... I have all of them connected through lines. What I'm trying to do is moving from pushpin 1 to pushpin 2, animating the map as if the user was dragging it. Is there any way to do this Thanks in advance Miguel Jimenez You could try putting pushpin downs (represented as images that look like lines) and then deleting them sequentially Yeah, VE will crash if you put 200+ pushpins on the map so beware of that limitation.  You could also use a timer.delay() to delay putting your pins down appropriately Hmm, you mean the line that connects both pushpin ...Show All

• windows_mss How to install .NET Compact Framework 2.0

  I may be missing something, but I have looked everywhere on how to install CF v2. I have a new iPAQ hx2495b with windows Mobile 5.0. Just applied the new ROM update from HP. Installed a small app I developed using one of the mobile webcasts. When I ran the app it gives an error saying it was using a later version of the cf than the one installed on the device. I read somewhere on a Microsoft site that new Windows Mobile 5.0 PC's did not come with v2 in their ROMS and you would have to install it. I used remote registry viewer and indeed it looks like cf is v1. So is there a step by step guide on how to install v2 onto the DEVICE download and run this: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx Fa ...Show All
