the MOBILE service provider i use uses a WAP GATEWAY so i cannot connect to it

becoz the IP address of the mobile is hidden behind the gateway

so i changed it to that the mobile will connect to the PC
i am able to establish the connection and the string of data is going to PC
but the response i.e " data recieved"
should be sent but how do i send the repsone

plz tell me becoz i do not know the IP ADDRESS OF THE MOBILE ???

plz help me with code if u can becoz i am new to J2ME or plz explain me the logic atleast

hai all,
i very fresh to wm development and recently looking for some samples how to development an application to sent out an email in window mobile. Can somebody help?

Thanks

In another article[^] I had to make the device send an e-mail with GPS coordinates upon receiving a special SMS message. The code to do that looked like the following. I've removed some code from this to make it simpler but you need to adapt this to your needs. Note that a device can have multiple accounts and you need to identify the account that you want to use.

public void EmailSendCoordinates(string emailAddress, message, string subject)
{
    EmailAccount account = 
      (new OutlookSession()).EmailAccounts[_Settings.EmailAccount];
    EmailMessage msg = new EmailMessage();
    msg.To.Add(new Recipient(emailAddress));
    msg.Subject = "My location";
    msg.BodyText = message;
    msg.Send(account);
}

Hi guys,

Does somebody how can I use ANSI versions of WinAPI?
For example: ExtTextOutA (not ExtTextOutW)

Well I tried, compiling was ok, but the linker said that can't find ExtTextOutA.

P.S. Windows Mobile 5.0 native, VS 2005 SP1.

Windows Mobile is based on Windows CE OS, which was Unicode based from day one. The ANSI versions aren't available.

Thank you. I expected this, but because ANSI function were declared I hoped that they are implemented.

Hi all,

I written the below code with the purpose to sort several string-arrays and two ComboBox.Items.
It's important to precise that I only want to change the order with witch them are stored (in arrays) or displayed in ComboBox.Items (not to sort them alphabetically).
It's also important to precise for Lat1 and Lon1, I input them in TextBox3, using the "." (dot) separator. Using ",", return me an error.
Well, the following code works perfectly (as I espected from it) in emulator of English VS 2005, but doesn't works perfectly in real device (PPC Windows mobile 2003 SE).
I obtain in ComboBoxes. items a not correct and different order of items.
I am almost sure that cause of the problem is the different Language of device (Italian) because the logic of the code is correct, but I don't know how to resolve it.
Italian language use the comma "," as decimal delimitator, instead of the dot.
Can someone help me, please?

Thanks

Hello,
We have developed a mobile application, but it does not work on Samsung mobiles. I uploaded both Jar and Jad files to my mobile.

i is an integer holding an 8 bit value of a joysticks position. How do i get an emulator on my pocket pc to see it as an input/button press?

Hello,

I maintained a program on the mobile device. (OS is wm 5)
The program has a dialog window, the dialog window contains some user-defined listboxes.
And the listbox has check marks and a vertical scroll bar.

If I clicked the up arrow and the down arrow on the scroll bar. The listbox can be scrolled successfully.
But if I dragged the scroll, sometimes the contents of the listbox is disappeared, but sometimes the contents still exists.
In my opinion, the function OnVScroll() must been existed in the program.
But after search within the program, I didn't find a function like OnVScroll to process the scrolling message.
So I thought the scroll message mighe be handled automatically by the OS.
But if the system automatically handle the scroll message, why sometimes success and sometimes fail ?

Then I searched the string "scroll" in whole project. The related result which I found only are

in .rc file :

LISTBOX    IDC_LIST_EV,13,74,133,45,LBS_SORT | LBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT | LBS_DISABLENOSCROLL | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP

in the user-defined listbox.cpp:

hWnd = ::CreateWindow(_T("button"), (LPCTSTR)lParam,
         WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP | m_nStyle,
         3, i * m_nItemHeight + 1,
         rc.Width() - GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYHSCROLL) - 3,
         m_nItemHeight - 1,
         m_hWnd,
         (HMENU)(i + BUTTONBASEID ),
         hInst, NULL );

Can someone give me a suggestion for this strange problem ?

My environment : Visual Studio 2005 SP1 + Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK

Thanks

Hi guys,

I am developing a smart device application in visual studio 2005. I need to connect the compact device (PDA) to a mysql database which is supposed to be on another computer in the same office. Don't know how to do it. Is there a direct way to access it using oledb provider for mysql (if any) or i have to create a web service and use it? Please help me by providing the code for connectivity.

Thankyou.

Does WinCE support services?

Also, does anyone know of a good WinCE Logger? Looking for just about anything ATM.

WinCE certainly supports services. There is one great article about them in MSDN[^]

I don't know of any WinCE Logger. I usually open a file and append data to it. You can do this from a service - watch out for synchronization situations.

Most excellent! Every article I looked for on MSDN (via search) popped up vista related articles. Thank you very much!! Smile | :)

Here's the issue:

I'm painting a gradient background on a dialog via WM_PAINT.
For static controls to look transparent, we capture WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC and return a NULL_BRUSH.

This far all looks great, until a MessageBox hovers over any of the static controls - then their backgrounds do not get repainted, and instead end up looking pretty junky.

The controls are dynamically created / destroyed based on user input, so sub-classing them would be a painful workout.

The app is a wizard-type interface controlled by a script file, using just one dialog resource with a BACK and NEXT button for navigation.

I've tried just about all I can think possible to repaint the areas that get overlapped, but so far, nothing is working. I have verified that the WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC gets called during a 'need-to-paint' and I try to re-gradient the controls RECT from there, but that is not working..

Need some help-

(btw) I have a global memory DC containing the gradient image and use BitBlt to update the invalidated areas.

Hi,

I am running a WinCE6.0 Stream interface Driver on a DTE device which will open a handle to Serial port which is
connected to a modem.WriteFile API returns non-zero Value, but NumberofbytesWritten parameters is coming as Zero.

The Windows CE 6.0 device is a DTE terminal and when connected to PC (Another DTE)) over NULL Modem cable with hyperterminal, all the data from the are seen on the hyperterminal, and WriteFile API fills the NumberofbytesWritten is exactly the same as the
bytestoWrite.

When the CE6.0 DTE device is connected to DCE Modemdevice using a Straight serial cable, WriteFile API
is succedding by returning Non-Zero Value, but NumberofbytesWritten parameters is coming as Zero.

The following is the DCB in the driver:
dcb.BaudRate = m_BaudRate;(115200)
dcb.fBinary = TRUE;
dcb.fParity = TRUE;
dcb.fOutxCtsFlow = TRUE;
dcb.fOutxDsrFlow = FALSE;
dcb.fDtrControl = DTR_CONTROL_ENABLE;
dcb.fDsrSensitivity = FALSE;
dcb.fTXContinueOnXoff = TRUE;
dcb.fOutX = FALSE;
dcb.fInX = FALSE;
dcb.fErrorChar = FALSE;
dcb.fNull = FALSE;
dcb.fRtsControl = RTS_CONTROL_HANDSHAKE;
dcb.fAbortOnError = FALSE;
dcb.ByteSize = 8;
dcb.Parity = NOPARITY;
dcb.StopBits = ONESTOPBIT;
Also, I am setting EscapeCommFunction(m_hCOMHandle,SETDTR);

On the hyperteminal I have the following setting:
baudrate = 115200
Data bit = 8
Parity=None
StopBit=1
FlowControl=None

Also, with the same hyperterminal setting with PC(Hyperterminal) connected to Modem over Straight SErial cable,
I am able to fire the AT Commands from the PC(hyperterminal) to the modem.

Also CommTimeout, I have set the following:

CT.ReadIntervalTimeout = MAXDWORD;
CT.ReadTotalTimeoutMultiplier = 0;
CT.ReadTotalTimeoutConstant = 0;
CT.WriteTotalTimeoutMultiplier = 0;
CT.WriteTotalTimeoutConstant = 100;

-Can a timeout issue cause WriteFile Still succeed and Numberof Bytes Written as zero?
- In hyperterminal Flow Control None, what are the Flow control affected in the DCB?

Can somebody give me some hints on the same.

Thanks..

I am currently trying to develop an application, where i need to access excel file and process data in that excel file in my application. I am developing the application using Visual Studio 2005 with Windows Mobile Emulator.

I tried to find code on internet. But whatever i found is working for Windows XP but it is not working on the simulator.

Please help me. How can i read that excel file??

Same question, how can I import data from an excel file to SQL Server CE?
thanks in advance

danhpt

same question:
I am trying to import data from an excel file to SQL Server CE?Would u pls help me out?

Hello,
I have need to read configuration information. At this point I have two pieces of information that I need to read. Interestingly the app.config file (Not available in the Compact Framework) would not work for these anyway.
First piece of information I need to read is a list of dll names. These are plug-ins and will be loaded during runtime initialization. The next piece of information I need to read is a class name. This class defines how licensing is handled. As such I would prefer that it not be in the users face.
Other requirements are that this solution work on both the Full and Compact frameworks. Also the configuration is going to be read in the SDK code I am writing rather than in Application code. Also this configuration is done by the team using the SDK rather than the end user.

I have decided that I will just have to read an XML document as a resource. I just thought I would check here to see if there is another option.

Tanks for your support

Hi,

I have the following scenario. I have an SDIO client driver developed by Arasan which allows me to access the SDIO card as virtual COM port and the SDIO card is connected to a peripheral which has Arasan Chip which converts SDIO to UART.

The platform I am using is HP 211 running Windows Mobile 6.

When I insert the card, the OS detects it and loads the client driver.
But I have a problem if the card is already inserted and the PDA is reset. When the PDA is rebooted with the SDIO card inside it the OS does not load the client driver.

My question is: how can I load the driver programatically using VC++.

The registry entry for the driver is:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active\62]
"Hnd"=dword:00d26a80
"Name"="NDL1:"
"Key"="\\Drivers\\SDCARD\\ClientDrivers\\Custom\\MANF-02DF-CARDID-9103-FUNC-1"
"BusParent"=dword:001f8270
"InterfaceType"=dword:00000000
"BusName"="SDBus_0_0_1"
"ClientInfo"=dword:00d38520

I would greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks!

Does any one have any code sample that checks for a current instance of the current application running. I have code for .net framwork 2.0 but not for .net compactframework for windows ce

Have your program create a native system event with CreateEvent. The error code returned by GetLastError() after creating an event will be zero if no other program owns an event with that name. When a second instance of your program is created it will get a non-zero error code indicating another program has already created an event with that name. Just remember to call CloseHandle on the event object when your program is no longer executing; you don't want to cause a memory leak.

I published something on this site two days ago that will contain all the PInvoke declarations that you need. Check it out at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/WiMoNativeSync.aspx
