Hello all,

Doing my first application to transfer to PDA's. I've looked and looked but can't seem to figure out the 'standard' screen size for most PDA's in 'twips'. I'm not sure how big to make my forms. I realize this is a rookie question but hey, "it's my first day man". I've done the math conversion of what I believe to be screen size in inches, to pixels, to points to twips but every time I get a resultant size that looks too big.

This is one case where 'size matters'. Big Grin | :-D

Thanks
Will

media player on Pocket PC

Hi,

I'm trying to integrate the Media player ActiveX on Pocket PC 2003. I updated my Pocket PC and I have now Media player 10. The ActiveX works with PIE.

I want to display it in a MFC application. I use the same code than the PC version. But it doesn't work.

It seems that in CreateControl method, it cannot get an instance on IPersistStreamInit. I don't kown if this interface is essential to create or initalize the control.

here the code of the OnInitDialog function :

BOOL CTestWMPDlg::OnInitDialog()<br />
{<br />
	CDialog::OnInitDialog();<br />
<br />
	SetIcon(m_hIcon, TRUE);			// Set big icon<br />
	SetIcon(m_hIcon, FALSE);		// Set small icon<br />
<br />
	<br />
	CenterWindow(GetDesktopWindow());	// center to the hpc screen<br />
<br />
	// TODO: Add extra initialization here<br />
<br />
	m_nFlags |= WF_OLECTLCONTAINER;<br />
<br />
	m_mediaPlayer.Create(NULL,<br />
		_T("Media Player ActiveX"), AFX_WS_DEFAULT_VIEW | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD,<br />
		CRect(0, 0, 200, 200), this, IDS_PLAYER);<br />
		<br />
	return TRUE;  // return TRUE  unless you set the focus to a control<br />
}

Any idea ?
Thank you for your help

Please, tell me how workaround this problem ?

Capturing a CDC to a file (bitmap)

felix3397-Aug-05 0:30

Hi,

I want to save a CDC/HDC to a file, so far I've come up with this:
CDC bmcdc;
CBitmap cbm;
bmcdc.CreateCompatibleDC(pdc);
cbm.CreateCompatibleBitmap(pdc, rect.Width(), rect.Height());

bmcdc.SelectObject(&cbm);
bmcdc.BitBlt(0,0,rect.Width(), rect.Height(), pdc, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);

I've checked that this CBitmap is filled by clearing the CDC and redrawing it.
Now I just need to save it as a file which I wanted to do this way:

CDIBSectionLite dibs;
dibs.SetBitmap((HBITMAP)cbm);

dibs.Save(L"test.bmp");
dibs.ReleaseMemoryDC();

This way I just get 57Byte file which seems to contain just the header.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Hello,

I want to create a background service for my mobile phone which will check if new files are created or changed in a predefined directory. I used the FileSystemWatcher of OpenNetCF but the problem is that when the application lost his focus the watcher is not working anymore.

Anyone know how to make a service with .Net or embedded C++?

Best regards,

This is my first project in mobile development. I am using Visual Studio 2005 beta to develop a mobile app. In my mobile project I have a visual layer and I added another project with was going to be the DAL. My intention was to try and replicate the same concepts as desktop development. When I go in to try and deploy this project on an emulator the DAL project which should have been a dll does not seem to be making it to the emulator.
What could I be doing wrong ? Any ideas.

Hi,

To my understanding, the way Palm time is stored on a Palm device is different than Windows. Anyone have any algorithms or libraries to convert Palm to Windows? (my Conduit library is being developed in .NET) To my understanding there is an issue of Big vs Little Endian as well.

I don't understand it!
I want to test a pocket pc 2003 base application written in compact framework 2 beta.
I have tried to run an application on the Visual Studio beta 2 (the latest one) and also in other versions (windbay), but the emulator simply won't start.
In the latest version it tells me he's got some problems with the "TCP connection" and in the Windbay he tell me even if i run a new blank form after build that he's got "Development Errors".

What can i do? i want to use the Compact Framework 2, but i can't test if without the 2005 built in emulator which does not work.

P.S: in the lastest version when i tried to connect through the active sync my Ipaq 3360 which has a pocket pc 2003 OS, it says that my operating system is not updated. what should i update there? what does this mean?

I'm pretty sure you don't need the 'Provider=' section. In fact I think that's causing the problem. The supported connection string parameters are detailed in the ConnectionString Property documentation[^].

Bluetooth communication using winsock

Kishore R.14-Jul-05 0:51

Kishore R.

14-Jul-05 0:51

Presently I’m working on Win CE for Pocket PC and I’m trying to do some enhancements to an existing Win CE application.

The application has originally support for USB and Acitve Sync and other connectiviry mediums and right now I’m working on the Bluetooth connectivity mechanism.

The win CE application should connect to a host application that resides on a PC (windows XP). On Win CE side I’m trying to use Microsoft stack and on the PC side I’m using widcomm stack.

I’m trying winsock over Bluetooth but I’m not sure if my approach is correct as it is new to me. J

These are the steps I’m doing..

Creating the server socket(winsock)
socket (AF_BT, SOCK_STREAM, BTHPROTO_RFCOMM);

creating the socket address structure
SOCKADDR_BTH address ;
memset (&address, 0, sizeof(address));
address.addressFamily = AF_BT;
address.port = channel & 0xff; //here channel is set to zero as suggested in Microsoft site.

binding the socket to the address.
iRes=bind(m_ThisSocket,(sockaddr*)&address,sizeof(address));

then listen on the socket created

listen(m_ThisSocket,5);

Then accept the incoming client connection.
SOCKADDR_BTH sa2;
int size = sizeof(sa2);
m_ClientSocket = accept (m_ThisSocket, (SOCKADDR *)&sa2, &size);

After this point can we assume that the connection is established? Please let me know if I’m missing any step . The problem I face is the client (windows PC side) socket is not able to connect to the server socket.

I have also been trying to use virtual COM port over Bluetooth and not been able to connect the device with the PC.

Any inputs will be of great help to me.

Regards,
iBeanz

Hi iBeanz,

As far as I know,Pocket PC uses the widcomm stack and not Microsoft stack,so you can't using Winsock for bluetooth communication.

You have 2 options:
The first is to buy Widcomm SDK in order to use the stack.
The second is to use Bluetooth serial port(I think its COM7 or COM8 - but you can check it with your PocketPC bluetooth manager).
When you open the bluetooth serial port,the bluetooth manager will open a dialog to select the target device,and also will do the pairing.
after the pairing - you can use this serial port to send and receive data(using ReadFile and WriteFile functions).

Regards,
Eli

Pocket PC form inheritance

People, I have met with a problem. I try to inherit forms. The Visual Studio raises an error saying that : The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes within it can be designed. The designer inspected the following classes in the file:

MenuBaseForm --- The base class 'SWT.SMTForm' could not be loaded. Ensure the assembly has been referenced or built if it is part of the project.

Did someone meet the same problem?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Re: Pocket PC form inheritance

Mike Dimmick26-Jul-05 1:15

The VS.NET Compact Framework forms designer does not support inherited forms. We handle this by creating a new project configuration 'Designer'. In this configuration we define the preprocessor symbol DESIGNER_SUPPORT. Then, at the top of the class, we put a #if block as follows:

#if DESIGNER_SUPPORT
   public class MyInheritedForm : System.Windows.Forms.Form
#else
   public class MyInheritedForm : BaseForm
#endif

When you want to use the designer, you select the Designer configuration. Once you've finished designing, you set the active configuration back to Debug or Release as appropriate.
