Keypad mapping - Mobile Discussion Boards

Is there any library to easily implement fancy UI effects like zoomin/out, flipping,..etc ?

I have written a program for sending SMS from my PC. But there is a small problem that is the message did not save in the inbox of the mobile phone. Pl help in this regard. The complete code is

Imports System.IO.Ports

Public Class Form1
Dim WithEvents serialport As New IO.Ports.SerialPort
Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
For i As Integer = 0 To My.Computer.Ports.SerialPortNames.Count - 1
ComboBox1.Items.Add(My.Computer.Ports.SerialPortNames(i))
Next
End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

If serialport.IsOpen Then
serialport.Close()
End If

Try
With serialport
.PortName = ComboBox1.Text
.BaudRate = 96000
.Parity = Parity.None
.DataBits = 8
.StopBits = StopBits.One
.Handshake = Handshake.RequestToSend
.DtrEnable = True
.RtsEnable = True
.NewLine = vbCrLf
End With
serialport.Open()
Catch ex As Exception

End Try

serialport.WriteLine("AT+CMGF=1" & vbCr)
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(200)
serialport.WriteLine("AT+CMGS=" & Chr(34) & "destination" & Chr(34) & vbCr)
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(200)
serialport.WriteLine("test message" & vbCrLf & Chr(26))
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(200)
End Sub
End Class

BaudRate = 96000?
try to set the BaudRate 9600 or 115200.
Or you can use "AT+CMGF=0\r" to try

hello, everybody
There's some problems bothers me, such as: change the Item height of ListView Control,ListView_GetItem macro can return TRUE, but Can't get Item properties!
this ListView is created by CreateWindow.
Another question:How can I attach HIMAGELIST to this ListView and display only one image in this imagelist?

can anybody help me?

thanks very much.

Hi,

I am programming for Windows CE 5.0 by using evc++ 4.0.I want to ask that how can I create a soft input panel.I am not so experianced so I want only to see the keyboard on the screen by the simplest way.Is that possible?

Thanks,
ibrahim

I'm not familiar with EVC++, but I supposed you are writing "a native code".

You can use CreateWindow. Look in the WM SDK help for class name of the SIP control

Hello Friends
My aim is to make a mobile application using C# dot net which will be used to send messages using twitter

I am having function's by calling which i can achieve requirements, problem is that those functions utilize System.Web Namespace which is not available with the C# windows mobile application so i added a reference to my project System.web.dll but now another problem is coming that is i need to execute a function which uses the below code

WebClient client = new WebClient()

This class can be used with desktop application

Please tell me how to start with this in a better way

If any links are known which can make a advantage with my work
please send me

thanks and regards

I'm not sure if I got your question, but here is some pseudo-code:

int RemapKey(int OldKey){
  switch (OldKey){
    case VK_LEFT: if (RotarySwitch = ...) return VK_RETURN
    ...
  }
}

...
case WM_WMKEYDOWN:
  int NewKey = (int)wParam; 
  if ( condition for remaping )RemapKey(NewKey);
  switch (NewKey){
.... standart key handling
  }

You need to keep RotarySwitch with a value, according to rotation.
You need to remap only keys that will change with rotation.

Of course the easiest way is to use a table for remaping, instead of long cases, but I wrote this just to illustrate the idea and the main logic.

thankes its really good solution i already tried this but how can i handle KEYDOWN event on dialog box.

unless you don't need some special key input (arrows, tab) it is simple:

BOOL CALLBACK MenuDlgProc(HWND hWnd,UINT wMsg,WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam)
...
switch(message) {
...
case WM_KEYDOWN:...
}

If you need the special keys ... well I don't know simple answer. The problem is that you will not receive WM_KEYDOWN message. The only answer that I know is to sub-class all controls inside ... but if you have more 2-3 controls ... it is ... not good.

If somebody knows easy way to make MenuDlgProc to receive this special keys ... please share it.

hello code project.

i have created an application
-receives sms
-process data
-update on public ip sql server connection
-reply confirmation that work is done with status

now if i start internet explorer GPRS/EDGE connection starts automatically and before the data connection ends (opened for browser) my application update in sql server perfectly, but if i send sms for data update on sql server , when data connection was somewhere ended up automatically. it doesnt start a data connection to connect over internet ip sql server, so connection fails and i get my error sms that could not open sql connection, since there was no data connection to web.
it should start GPRS, but do not anyway.

my question is. what is important to be connected over GPRS, when my application needs it.

i am stuck. Frown | :(

please help.

Is there a preferred size to try and keep 3rd party DLLs under? I'm trying to port the VCF over to Win CE, and I'm guessing the final size of all three core libraries will be ~3 Mb. Is this too much for WinCE? Are there things to do with build settings that help keep the DLL size down? I'm building with code generation set to Multi-Threaded DLL and the MinSize optimizations on.

You need to understand the CE memory model[^]. This applies up to and including Windows CE 5.0, including all released versions of Windows Mobile. Windows CE 6.0 introduces a new virtual address space model, but Windows Mobile 6 is still based on CE 5.0.

I would strongly recommend making it available as static libraries, not DLLs. You're free to have as big an EXE as you like. Well, within the limit of whatever your device OEM left for you. That article doesn't illustrate it, but Windows Mobile has completely blown the new 32MB Slot 1 area for Execute-In-Place libraries. Devices generally ship with less than 16MB address space available. The Windows Mobile 5.0 Phone Edition VGA emulator shipped with Visual Studio 2005 has 18MB virtual address space free after a full reset; Windows Mobile 6's emulator raises this to about 25MB so they've clearly done some work on this.

Note that this only applies to native libraries; it doesn't apply to .NET DLLs as they are not loaded through the OS loader. They take up private process heap instead.

Working on large .NET applications, with a very large number of forms, it's very common to run into MissingMethodExceptions with an error message of "Can't find PInvoke DLL", which occurs simply because the address that the DLL would need to load into has already been taken by some other allocation.

DoEvents: Generating unexpected recursion since 1991

As a practical example, I'm just trying to package up our latest project. The handheld on which it runs, a ruggedised device with integrated barcode scanner, WiFi, GPRS and Bluetooth radios, has only 11.75MB of virtual address space free - and due to the number of device driver threads running, less than 1MB free in device.exe, so it's always right on the margin of failing.

On a previous device, we had to resort to stopping some drivers loading and removing some of the Today screen plugins to get a usable environment.

We're asking the OEM to replace the copy of .NET Compact Framework that's execute-in-place in the ROM with .NET CF 2.0 SP2. The customer is large enough, and ordering enough units, that they're considering it.

DoEvents: Generating unexpected recursion since 1991

Gag. So I'm getting the impression that developing for CE is a royal PITA, particularly if the .Net framework in installed. Am I being unfair here?
And from what you're saying, 3rd party libs, like what I'm writing, will be very difficult to use due to memory restrictions and the presence of all sorts of Microsoft crud.

Good Day,

I just made a Mobile Web Application using VS2005. Whenever I compile, it launches the website using my web browser.

How can I test my Mobile Web Application using the built-in Pocket PC 2003 emulator?

Thanks! Smile | :)

It is said that the most complex structures built by mankind are software systems. This is not generally appreciated because most people cannot see them. Maybe that's a good thing because if we saw them as buildings, we'd deem many of them unsafe.

When you create the application.. make sure you created a windows smart device NOT a windows application..

I am using VS2008(VB.NET) and SQL Server2005 to make a Pocket PC application.The program is running successfully into PDA to connect Sql Server2005.But when I try connect PDA with Sql Express.Then it shows sql server access denied.For express I used SERVER=.\SQLEXPRESS.But its not working.Pls help me. Frown | :(

Check, if you have enabled a remote access to the express server. It's disabled by default.

Whats your connection string with sql2005??
in your connection to sqlexpress you are using the piriot ".\sqlexpress", doesnt that mean local? or is sqlexpress installed in pda?

Hi all,

I am creating an application which will send/receive messages, whenever a message comes in it should play a sound file(wave/mid or any other format).

How can we do it?

I am using C#.NET, Windows Mobile Smartphone SDK, Compact framework 2.0

Thanks in advance

From my experience, audio support with compact framework 2
is far more tedious than in ce3, you have to make do with very little,
so it may be a good idea to use 3, but of course
there are situations when you have to use ce2.

Using compact framework 3 you have access to far more including the
[SoundPlayer] class which has support for many many audio files
and does the work for you.

>> whenever a message comes in it should play a sound file

The most common way of playing a sound for ce2 would be to use
[PlaySound]... this is probably your best solution.

Once you add the class at this link you can create your own objects, either by passing
a file path or a nice way is to refer to your Resources and get the files byte array...

Sound sound = new Sound(YourApplication.Properties.Resources.SoundFile);
sound.Play();

Now the class at that link doesnt seem to work when using the stream constructor, so
add the following constructor to the class... You need to add this for the byte
array constructor example above to work...

public Sound(byte[] sound_bytes)
{
  // read the data from the stream
  m_soundBytes = sound_bytes;
}

Now, unfortunately from what I have tested this only supports .WAV files.
You can either do this... or try using WaveOut to play your sounds, which will still
only support .WAV files but can be built upon to support more...
Or you can play any file the phone supports by calling the local systems Media Player
with a file as the argument file to execute...

Hi
I have done some coding in c# for smartphones previously, but now I need to write a small app in C++ which is definitely not my preferred language coming from a Java world Frown | :-(

I would like to log errors with a timestamp, but I have no idea how to get the current time in c++ for smartphones.. I tried to include time.h and use _strtime and _strdate, but the linker complains when compiling this.

Could someone please help me out? a small code sample would be nice Smile | :)
