thank you very much.

My objective is develop the mobile application which should capture a picutre and save into a particular folder and its name should be the name available in that picture.

This application should run in Win Pocket PC 2003 software. I wish to develop

in Microssoft .NET(I dont know what other tools I need for this like mobile emulator)

We will look into the naming of the file later on or we can make it as a typed file name.

Please help me to start... If I get a way then I will move forward..

Please tell me if you need any other clarifications

Thank you for ur support

Regards
Azeem

well if you'r new to mobile development the first thing you'll need to do is learn the framework a bit (the links provide a few post earlier should help with that)
so create a few (small) projects to get the hang of it
after that you will need to see how you can tap into the camera of the pocket pc (can't help you much there never done it before) once you can do that it's simply a matter of taking the pic and saving it.
what you'll need to install (as far as I know by heart):
the mobile framework for visual studio
some sort of syncronisation (forgive my spelling) programme (I always used activesync)
the mobile emulator is handy for testing during development but I suggest you test it with the hardware too from time to time since somethimes there is a differance in positioning the controls (this is a bit trial and error) unless that has been fixed (been a while since I programmed for mobile devices)

that's all (I think)

If my help was helpfull let me know, if not let me know why.

Thank you very much.

What do you mean by synchronization programmer. I think synchronization between the PC and mobile. If it so where I can get it?

indeed I mean synchronization between pc and mobile.
the most used (the one I also used) is 'activesync'
just do a google search and you'l find hondreds of download links (including ones from microsoft sites (yes its a microsoft product Poke tongue | ;-P

))
I think it's for free so...

You can keep asking, but until you answer the questions you've been asked about your requirements, you're going to get ignored.

This is the third of forth time you've asked this question and you've repeatedly ignored answering the critical questions asked of you and ignored the advice you've already been given.

No, we're not going to write the code for you. This is NOT something for someone very new to programming, let alone someone who doesn't know how Windows works.

Hi everyone

Could anyone help me. I would like to restrict the users of my software from maximise the form. Is there any way of disabling the form maximise property?

The other thing is I would also like to detect when the user closes the form using the X in the right corner.I would like to ask the user if they want to save before closing down. What event is this and how is it called?

Thanks for reading this and I hope u will be able to help me.

hi twsted f8

to Remove the button to Maximise, Right Click on your Form and click on Properties, in your Properties Window, look for Window Style --> You will find the Option "ControlBox", set it to "False" and you Buttons will be gone.

but Now if you set the Controlbox to false then you will not see the (X) button to close your Form, you will just have to create your own button.
you can but the same code in the Following events

The Following code is in your Form closing event
<code>
Private Sub Form1_Closing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closing
If MessageBox.Show("Do you want to Exit", "Question", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) = DialogResult.Yes Then

Me.Dispose()
Else
'''Do nothing
End If

End Sub
</code>

Note that you can Create a button for your self and write the same code.

Hope this helps

            '''Do nothing <br />
        End If<br />
<br />
    End Sub<br />

now in both cases the form will close
instead of '''do nothing there should be e.cancel = true

the user is still able to maximise his window by dubbleclicking the title bar
using the formborderstyle property might be a better way to accomplish what he wants

look at the formborderstyle property there are several wich will do what you want all with different looks

events:
formclosing
formclosed
whith e.CloseReason=CloseReason.UserClosing you can distinguish between a user closing you'r form or another programme (or you'r own programme)

hope this helps

the best i found to let my form remain in maximized state is by overriding onSizeChanged method (or by handling sizechanged event) and writing following lines there

If Not DesignMode Then
If Not Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized Then
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
End If
End If

if user tries to change the size even by clicking on maximize button the form will restore back to previous stat. keep in mind initially you will have to set the windowstate of form to Maximized

Tom Deketelaere8-Oct-07 22:06

true this will work nice if you want the form to be maximised but the OP asked to prevent maximising so I figured the form isn't maximised at all (also not at start).

you can still use you're code to accomplish this (just put the size back to original size) but the user will get the arrows for resising the window, will be able to click and drag, might even be able to resize the window for a split second. All of this will result in a very confused user and a flickering screen so...

but if you want the windowstate to be maximised at all times you'r code would work, although I think the window will flicker for a split second (not shure about this)

If my help was helpfull let me know, if not let me know why.

Just an idea - why not allow the users to maximize the form and anchor objects on the form.
This will then rescale the form as the user resizes it.

I mention this just in case you have not yet figured out how to allow the form to rescale - and in case that is what you were trying to prevent.

Apologies if I am teaching my grandmother to suck eggs here...

i think we have a property called Cancel in the event of form_close
so you have to do this to prevent closing window

e.cancel=true

It's rude to say this. It can't be that urgent, otherwise you would be paying someone for assistance.

Doesn't Access have a text file import facility?

you will have to parse the string for doing this Smile | :)

you can create an access database with a table with your required schema

and then start reading file using streamreader line by line and split every line on separator and use the literals as values for your access datatable
