Go to the registry and look for this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ExtModems\BtDialupModem

Under it, you will find a Port value. This is the file name you must use when communicating with your phone. In my case it reads BTC1:

UNICODE convention

Hello,

I'm using eVC++ 3.00 and I want to do such a thing:

MessageBox("Test");
But I'll have an error at compilation:
error C2664: 'MessageBoxW' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char [29]' to 'const unsigned short *'

So, it's because UNICODE convention is used as standard. I suppressed it from the preprocessor settings but it still doesn't work! Is ANSI convention not supported ??

Thanks

Windows CE only supports UNICODE. All MFC methods and API functions and messages (with some notable exceptions) take UNICODE text. So, your code MUST read:

MessageBox(_T("Test"));

That's it

!! This will give me a lot of work to convert my existing library Frown | :-(

!

Is there a simple way to convert ANSI string to UNICODE string?

char Buff[255];<br />
...<br />
...        // Do some stuff with Buff<br />
...<br />
MessageBox(Buff);    // Need conversion here !!

Thanks

The best thing for you is start replacing char with TCHAR. If you want to do UNICODE to ANSI on-the-fly conversions, your application will run slower. But if you insist, use the mbstowcs, mbtowc, wcstombs and wctomb (check these out from the online help).

On PocketPC 2002, I write an application like Ms PocketStreet. I have a toolbar’s icon (called A). When I press onto this icon (A), I can zoom IN a map in screen. Now, I want this: when keep pressing onto a key (like Alt or Ctrl or Shift on Desktop), and press onto icon A, I can zoom OUT the map. It works as Photoshop did.

How can I solve this problem. I saw in PocketPC 2k2, there’re 4 buttons in the bottom of it. I wonder if whether there are some Alt-on-desktop-like buttons or not.

Help me.

You can actually use the hardware buttons. Check this page for guidance:

Dear Friends,

Sorry for troubling you. I have got the answer. What i have done is declared the variable in the protected section of the ActiveX Control.

That is inside ActiveX Controls header file(Some thing like **Ctl.h file).

This solved my problem.

Once again sorry for troubling you.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Remoting and a Pocket PC

Can you do Remoting on a Pocket PC w/.Net 2003?

I did a simple Remoting program that works great on a PC as the client. I tried to have the client as a Pocket PC, but it looks like the System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels is not an option.

Is there a work around?

Top-level, non-pop-up Menuitems

I'm trying to make a menubar so that I have an item on it that's not a pop-up item. The best way to explain what I need is the following code from my .rc file:

<br />
IDR_MAINFRAME MENU DISCARDABLE <br />
BEGIN<br />
    POPUP "&File"<br />
    BEGIN<br />
        MENUITEM "&Load File...",               ID_FILE_LOAD<br />
        MENUITEM SEPARATOR<br />
        MENUITEM "&Info...",                    ID_FILE_INFO<br />
    END<br />
    POPUP "&Options"<br />
    BEGIN<br />
        MENUITEM "&Colors...",                  ID_OPTIONS_COLORS<br />
        MENUITEM "&About...",                   ID_FILE_ABOUT<br />
    END<br />
    MENUITEM "&Top-Level",                      ID_TOP_LEVEL<br />
END<br />

So, I want to have the ID_TOP_LEVEL command on the menubar without any "parent menu" item.
This code complies fine, but when I run it on my Toshiba, the menuitem doesn't even show up (ie: not displayed). I just see the "File" and "Options" menuitems.
The only command I can see that solves my problem is this funky "shared new" menuitem. however I can't find the documentation on how to handle it (messages, etc).
I've looked through almost every .rc file for all the samples here on CP, and it seems like I'm the only person out there who wants a top-level, non-pop-up menuitem.

I'm use eVC++, MFC, and a dialog-based app.
If anyone has any ideas, please help me out.
TIA
