Most of the functions declared in these #includes are implemented in DLLs. System DLLs are in ROM, so this is irrelevant for the final size of your application.

thanks and it makes sense for functions implemented in DLLs.
two followup ?'s:
1) what about the case where the unused functions are implemented in static libraries? are these unused fcn's compiled in even if they're not called?
2) is there a straightforward way when looking at the wince header files to determine if the api is implemented in a DLL or a static library?
thanks!

Depends on your linker, but the general answer is yes.

Unfortunately, no.

For #1:
The linker supplied with eVC will remove unused packages (called COMDATs in the documentation) if the /OPT:REF switch is turned on. This is turned on by default, unless the /DEBUG switch is enabled, in which case it's turned off.
To force the linker to remove unreferenced functions, the compiler must be instructed to package each function in its own COMDAT. You do this by specifying the /Gy option to the compiler (called 'Enable function-level linking' in the 'Customize' category of the Project Settings dialog).
If this option is not enabled, the linker can only include or exclude individual object files. A static library basically consists of multiple object files with a header describing what's in it.
From memory, Microsoft's static libraries are compiled with this option enabled.

Hi,
I need to read and use a database on PocketPC using embedded visual C++ 3. This is an Access database. What are the classes that are supported and that I can use?
I really don't know wich direction to choose, so any idea is welcome!
Thanks

You can use ADOCE for that, but there is no C++ wrapper available. You will have to write your own or wait until I port Carlos Antollini's classes.

Ok thanks !
BTW, don't you have any sample code so I can start quickly ?
Thanks

BTW ADOCE used with C++ is unsupported from MS, just to let you know.
MS suggests to use OLEDB with C++ under CE

Yeah, they do say a lot of crap... ADOCE is supported by C++ and in more than one way: you can either use the #import directive or generate the
necessary header files with MIDL. It's all there.

Sure, we are talking performance here (and I also prefer it). But in the support groups I've seen a lot of people asking for ADOCE C++ support, and that's what I'm planning to do in an upcoming article.

Joao,
When I say it's unsupported doesn't mean you can't use it. The problem is if you need assistance
or you ask for a pay per incident support. In this case you get that the tools you used (ADOCE C++) are unsupported and you get stucked...
that's all

That's why there is a CodeProject: we can always find help with each other. 
My small rant with MS is that they tend to say a lot of things that are not accurate and tend to send developers away from interesting things, like this one. I've been successfully using ADOCE for over a year in my projects. The OLE DB option is now up because I do really need the extra performance.

Ok, thanks!! I'll take a look at it

The Virtual Office Systems classes are very basic. When I first tried them, I had to make major changes before I got them to do what I wanted. Eventually, I wrote my own.

Find the adoce31.tlb file and make the #import directive point there. If you do not have this file on your PC, download it from Microsoft Website (search for ADOCE 3.1) and install it.

Hi,
How to check that the #import directive in ado.h is correct for my development environment.
Awaiting for your reply.
Thanks,
Siva

ok, Thanks a lot to everybody !!
I think, now I have a good idea where to start

We're writing code for PPC2K2 on iPaq 3970's.
1)Does anyone know if HP is offering upgrades to PPC2K3?
2) If an upgrade is available, does anyone know the price?
3) If we move to PPC2K3, do we (or should we) also have to move to Embeded VC++ 4, or can we stay with evc3?

If you want to develop solely for PPC2K3, you must use eVC4 with SP2. If you want to target all platforms, eVC3 is still the choice.

i'm now confused...i thought that eVC3 can't use the ppc2k3 sdk and therefore couldn't utilize any of the ppc2k3 api's which are based on wince 4.2
|

I did not explain myself clearly. Using eVC3 you can develop applications for PPC and PPC2002 and these will also run on PPC2003. But if you are targetting PPC2003 only, and thus expect to use all its new features, eVC4 is your product. But don't expect your eVC4 app to run in older platforms.

João Paulo

Is this c++ rtl funtion (and it's mapped equivalants) not available in ppc2k?
