how can i make background service? - Mobile Discussion Boards

I know. This mobile device center thing is a piece of crap. It doesn't work for me half of the time.
What I usually do is reboot the whole PC, and make an attempt to connect. There seems to be a particular order of connection that does the trick. Note that you don't need visual studio for testing this. just start the emulator from the emulator manager, and try connecting. I find it helps if mobile device center is already started when you start the emulator. Otherwise, it's trial and error, and rebooting the PC lots of times...

Oh, if you find a reliable way of doing this, be sure to post it Smile | :)

You can create a CAB file which is the WinCE equivalent of a setup file.
Take a look at "Setup and Deployment" projects in VStudio.

A background application is just an application which does not display any user interface on Windows CE. (Applications keep running until they execute an exit, or are forcibly cancelled by the user). So if you don't display anything, you're a background application.
To pop up a message, best practice is to display an icon and a message balloon in the title bar (SHNotificationAdd)

Just install the mobile sdk, and in visual studio, select 'smart device project'. this will create a project with an intial form. Just don't display the form in your code.

Take a look at OpenNETCF or Smart Device Framework (http://www.opennetcf.com/[^]).

API OpenNETCF.ToolHelp.ProcessEntry.GetProcesses() returns an array of ProcessEntry. This is a list of all running processes.

How can I make a label or a textbox transparent?

Hello!

I searched in the google for the question but I haven't found a sufficient solution yet. So if know how to make a label or a textbox transparent, would you please show me how to do it?

Regards.

J.

What a curious mind needs to discover knowledge is noting else than a pin-hole.

It all depends on what you mean by transparency. In WinForms 'transparent' usually means your control is painted with the background color. This is probably not what you want.
Real Transparency is achieved through a technique called alpha-blending, and is available in GDI+, which is currently not implemented in Windows CE. SO you'll have to wait for Windows Phone 7 and Silverlight on the phone to get some operating system support for this (and your mileage may vary).
Note that you can still achieve transparency on Windows CE by painting the control yourself, and implementing your own Alpha-Blending routine. I've stumbled on a little library that may or may not be helpful:http://www.topshareware.com/WMGL-(Windows-Mobile-Graphics-Library)-download-72671.htm[^]

Windows mobile c++

I think I can do that :

<br />
//get X,Y Pixel<br />
int xPixel = GetDeviceCaps(hdc,HORZRES);<br />
int yPixel = GetDeviceCaps(hdc,VERTRES);<br />
//Get dpi<br />
short xInch = GetDeviceCaps(hdc,LOGPIXELSX);<br />
short yInch = GetDeviceCaps(hdc,LOGPIXELSY);<br />
//Get X、Y Inch<br />
double x = (doulbe(xPixel)) / (double(xInch));<br />
double y = (doulbe(yPixel)) / (double(yInch));<br />
//Screen Size<br />
double z = sqrt(x * x + y * y);<br />

but get the size not correct!
what can i do?
someone helps me?
thanks~~~
