• mettoff I wonder how should i include virtual earth control sdk in my project so the html file can use the function of virtual earth co

  in vc6, I am developing a application of virtual earth control sdk, it is necessanary to realize some functionality in html. I wonder how should i include virtual earth control sdk in my project so the html file can use the function of virtual earth control sdk Thanks -- jake The SDK is just the documentation on how to use the control; it is not the control itself. The control itself is a javascript control that you reference from your HTML. If you are building a Windows app, rather than a Web site, then you need to include an IE control within your application and handle the javascript through that control. Another alternative is to reference the MapPoint Web Service...probably easier to do in a Windows app, but you don't ...Show All

• morphius1 Resource DLL still active

  Hi all, We made a .Net DLL that is the managed end of an unmanaged - managed bridge. There is nothing in the DLL besides the wrappers to the unmanaged function calls and the P/Invokes. When I terminate the program the managed DLL stays active. Any ideas on why it would stay in memory Do you have to terminate a managed DLL in some way Alex, Nope. Everything is a command-response call, no threads. I did notice that it's only when I am debugging and the debugger terminates in an abnormal fashion, like an uncaught exception. It does not seem to occur when I run the program outside of the debugger or the debugger terminates the app normally. Ah, I see. That's entirely possible. Sometimes the debugger fails to terminate the ...Show All

• M. Simioni how distribute new version of an application ?

  Hello ! exists a way for being able to distribute one new version of an application on win ce.net devices in transparent way to the customer thank you entirely transparent if you need to replace binaries, not really. at run time, you can check version (through assembly info or a hash digest/signature) against a remote filestore, probably most easily through a webservice. if the original app detects a new version, you would need to call a second process (EXE), terminate the original application, and have your second process replace the application itself with the newer files, then restart the original application. In the first place thanks in order to have to ...Show All

• robertlamour How to prevent user from powering off the PDA

  Dear all, I'm working for a communication program. I found if I power off the PDA when my program is in 'talking' state (sending and receiving RTP packets using socket), the system will be frozen and dead when I power on. So I decide not to allowed user to power off during talking. I could use SystemIdleTimerReset() to disable auto power off, but I don't know how to prevent the 'manual' power off. I know there must be a way, because I see Tomtom could do it. Could anyone give me a hint Thanks in advance! Yun I would really like to know this too. If anyone has any ideas, could you please help I've found some stuff on power.  Namely the POWER_ACTION_POLICY in which it looks like yo ...Show All

• tone-loc button with round corners

  Is posible to make a button with round corners and in case that is posible how can i do that. thx Do you have some source code of example, and can you give me your msn to contact you . Is the same for a pocket pc aplication . Yes, I'm talking about Pocket PC, SP and Windows CE. That is only natural since this is Compact Framework forum and NETCF runs on devices. You'd need to create a custom button which would draw a button with round corners (or with picture or with several lines of text or whatever else – same solution).

• JawKnee LatLong correct until I move the map?

  Hi, I am working with the map control inside a win forms app. I get the LatLong object from e.View which I get in the OnClick event. The event fires twice for some reason.

• Buddhist Cab installation failures due to signed files

  Hi. I have a Smart Device CAB file targeted for WM5 Smartphone. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 to build it. For my executables/dlls, I'm signing the files using the SDK developer certificate. When I'm installing on an actual phone or on the emulator, I will sometimes get errors on the signed files. Usually, they happen on the same files but not on all the signed files. I think it is more likely to happen on a file that self-registers. The problem goes away when I reinstall with a rebuilt file that is not signed. In setup.log under \Application Data\Volatile, I will get something like this: <characteristic type="fsbraille.dll" translation="install"> <characteristic-error type="Extract"> <pa ...Show All

  I have a VS2005 Deployment Project and want to install myApp to the \CF Card\myApp directory.

• Bill Henning Why the toolbox is empty for smart device project in my VS 2005?

  I just installed VS 2005. I created a new smart device project. But I noticed that the toolbox is empty. Then I created a windows application, everything is OK. I am confused. Did I miss something during my installation Thanks. Toby First, thanks very much for your advise. But I still have some difficulty here. My version is professional edition. The system on my ppc is WM2003. I downloaded the first file you listed. When I tried to install, it showed that it is for embedded c++ 4.0. Not for C#. In addition, when I tried to deploy my project. A message box showed that "no such interface supported". Is that because I did not install proper SDK Thanks. Toby ...Show All
