I don't know of any books, however, d/l either eVC++ 3.0/4.0 from msdn and the documentation with it will get you well on your way. There are also many examples in the SDK, depending on what platform your developing on.
Also, depending on what you chose to program with, ie. MFC,WIN32, you can still get a book that isn't necessarily for embedded, but Windows itself. Like Programming Windows MFC - J.Prosise helps me learn MFC, which helps me program eVC++4.0 with MFC.
Alot, maybe 90% of Windows programming can apply to embedded Windows programming. 
Good luck!

I would like to create an application for the pocket PC (iPAQ) using eVC++ that when you start the app it plays a MP3 file for 5 mins and continues to play until it reaches the end of a current section of music. The music is in sound bits of 20 - 40 sec. When it is done playing and found the silent section, the app will close. It was suggested that I look at the Windows Media Player for Pocket PC SDK documentation. I have looked at the documentation but I need some more basic understanding how MP3 files are layed down and some palce I can read how to interface through C++. An additional bit of information: I will be creating the MP3 files from audio cassette tapes. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Did you look at DirectPlay , do a search on it with google.com.

Soliant,
Thank you for the suggestion. To be honest, I do not understand how to use a API. I will look at the documentation but can you give some additional help how I would use?
Thank you

I am trying to install the SDK for WinCE.NET, I only want to target the Intel® PXA250 with ARM* v.5TE instruction set. However, in the install program the closest option I have to choose is the ARMV4T, is this the right one?
Thanks in advance.

It should be. As far as I can tell, the PXA250 publishes itself as a StrongARM. If you test the processor number, you will get 2577. If you want your app to run on the PXA250 only, I suggest you read the following article on PocketPC Developer's Network: http://www.pocketpcdn.com/qa/processor_type.html[^]
Have fun!

I d/l eVC++, but it asks me for a serial number? I tried using my VS.NET one, but it didn't work.
How do I get started developing WinCE with eVC++4.0 ?
TIA
Update
Found the serial on the bottom of download page, duh

I guess it isn't possible to develop CE apps with VS.NET
Source: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/device/embedded/evcandcenet.asp [^]
Visual Studio .NET cannot yet be used to develop unmanaged code for Windows CE. To write unmanaged applications and dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) on Windows CE, developers use a stand-alone tool; eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0. eMbedded Visual C++ is designed for application developers to create unmanaged Windows CE-based applications and DLLs that run natively on Windows CE .NET. eMbedded Visual C++ doesn't replace its predecessor, eMbedded Visual C++ 3.0, which is still required for writing unmanaged code for devices based on Windows CE 3.0 such as the Pocket PC 2000 and Pocket PC 2002. Fortunately, eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 has been designed so that it can be installed on the same system as eMbedded Visual C++ 3.0 without disturbing the operation of eMbedded Visual C++ 3.0. To sum up, eMbedded Visual C++ 3.0 is needed to write code for Windows CE 3.0 and earlier, while eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 is needed for writing code for Windows CE .NET.

Use this serial (it is freely available from MSFT):

You cannot use eVC4 on PocketPC 2002 (a shame...)

I found this in the readme of the PPC2002SDK,
The Pocket PC 2002 SDK is not compatible with the eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 product that is released with the Window CE.Net Platform Builder product.
I need a roadmap for CE development 
So will there be a Pocket PC.NET, that we can use eVC++4 with ?
Thanks for all your help. (Gracias que me ayudas)

Yes, apparently there will be a version of CE .NET (CE 4.0). For now, we can only target CE 3.0 with eVC3 or VS.NET with the Smart Device Extensions. It seems that CE .NET is now version 4.1, but still no device... I think this is ridiculous. eVC4 is much better than eVC3 when it comes to language support. Why not make it work with CE 3.0?

It must be the only one...
Thanks for writing in portuguese. By the way: the correct spelling is "tudo". Tudo bem por aqui também!

Hi,
does anybody know,
why the virtual OnReceive() function is not working
on WinCe 3.0 (Pocket PC 2002)?
I'm using the CSocket class in a MFC Application.

Hello,
All of you guys who had developed ActiveX controls for Embedded platforms to please look at the thread Windowless ActiveX Control at the VC++ ATL / WTL / STL discussion board. Thank you guys.

Hi,
does anybody now, how to change background color of a treeview?
I'm working on WinCe 3.0, so I cannot use TreeView_SetBkColor Macro....
|
|
|
|
|
Did you try to use the custom draw service? This envolves handling the NM_CUSTOMDRAW message. It will allow you to customize the drawing of the tree in a number of ways.

Yes, I tried it, but I can just set the TextColor and TextBkColor, not the Background Color of entire window. SetBkColor function and selecting a brush to device context doesn't work. The best result I've archived is to fill entrire window's rectangle using FillRect(). It works fine, but there still remain white areas nearby icons and nodes. I may be able to paint them using SetPixel, but that's
pretty dirty technique, in my opinion. Is there any other chance?

Maybe all you need to do is intercept WM_ERASEBKGND and use your own brush.
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, this doesn't work too.
The white areas are painted after the background paint. And they are always
white, even if you set different color for window background for entire Windows (in Control Panel ->Display Settings)
Anyway, thanks for effort.

Can you use WTL for CE programming? if so, can you point me to some resources?
