My classmates and I wrote a program for a handheld scanner running Windows CE.NET 4.1. When we began working on it all we had available to work with was VB6. Now we have a copy of VB.NET. When we migrated the program from VB6 to VB.NET we found out that the program needed to be a smart device application instead of a windows application, and now most of our code doesn't work. We have 3 weeks untill we need to turn in this project and we have no idea what to do. WE NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Confused | :confused:

I don't use VB, but here is will help.

Create a new smart device application in VB.NET. Then move your source files from the old project into the directory of the new smart application project. Be sure not to overwrite any files. Then in VB.NET you can "add exisiting items" to the project. You will then need to migrate your startup code into the main file.

The procedures that we use the most in our application don't work when I copy the code over. They don't exist in the .NET Compact Framework. I found a replacement procedure and most of the program works now, but there is one section of code that I can't seem to fix:

Public Function DeleteLine(ByRef intLineCount As Object) As Boolean

Dim sr As New StreamReader(strImportFile)
Dim sw As New StreamWriter(strImportFile)
Dim ret As Integer
Dim lCtr As Integer
Dim sTemp, sLine As String
Dim bLineFound As Boolean

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
lCtr = 1
Do While Not sr.Peek = -1
sLine = sr.ReadLine

If lCtr <> intLineCount Then
sTemp = sTemp & sLine & vbCrLf
Else
bLineFound = True

End If
lCtr = lCtr + 1
Loop

sr.Close()
sw.Write(sTemp)

DeleteLine = bLineFound

ErrorHandler:
On Error Resume Next
sw.Close()
'oFSTR = Nothing
'oFSO = Nothing

End Function

I don't know how to switch this function over to use System.IO StreamReader and StreamWriter. Someone, please help us, this project is due in about 3 weeks.

Remote control of smartphone using RAPI

Cho Sijun4-Aug-04 0:29

WinCE-based smartphone provides RAPI (Remote API)for remote control of device.
A way of invoking a DLL function in smartphone from PC is to call
CeRapiInvoke() function.

The barebone code looks like
CeRapiInit();
CeRapiInvoke(L"MyDLL.dll", L"Myfunc", cbOutBytes, pOutBuffer, &cbInBytes, &pInBuffer, 0);
CeRapiUninit();

In Myfunct, I put one line of code: CreateFile(...) to see if a file was created as a result.

But this is failing. I have searched for a hint or solution inside MSDN to no avail.
Other functions such as CeCreateFile(), CeReadFile(), CeWriteFile() worked properly
so I am sure the connection between PC and phone is well established.

Please give me helps.
Thany you in advance.

Best regard,
Cho

Problem when building app with POOM

Dear all,

I have a problem when building an application for Pocket PC using eVC 3.0

Here is some code:

hr = CLSIDFromProgID(POA_OBJECT, &clsid);<br />
if (FAILED(hr))<br />
{<br />
	AfxMessageBox(_T("Fail to load CLSID"));<br />
} else 	{<br />
	hr = CoCreateInstance(clsid, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IPOutlookApp, (LPVOID *) &(polApp));<br />
		if (FAILED(hr))<br />
		{<br />
			err = GetLastError();<br />
			sprintf(str,"Fail to load CoCreateInstance %d",err);<br />
			AfxMessageBox((CString)str);<br />
		} <br />
	}

I got error message:

I try to find some answers on news groups and did following these guides by adding:

#include "initguid.h"

I solve the problem by inserting the following lines at the top of the application's header file (I include it in other files as needed):

#include "resource.h"       // main symbols
#include <comdef.h>
#include <pimstore.h>


_COM_SMARTPTR_TYPEDEF(IPOutlookApp, __uuidof(IPOutlookApp));
_COM_SMARTPTR_TYPEDEF(IAppointment, __uuidof(IAppointment));
_COM_SMARTPTR_TYPEDEF(ITask,        __uuidof(ITask));

Then, on the application cpp file:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "MainFrm.h"

#include <initguid.h>
#include "Application.h"

IPOutlookAppPtr	g_pPoomApp;

The linker does not complain...

Hi everybody,

Thought it best to post this message here.

Iv'e been programming in VB.Net for about a year now (Mainly Windows applications). My boss now wants me to start developing mobile appliations. Just want some advice on where to start studying.

Would you suggest I continue to learn to do it in VB.Net or Embedded Visual Basic. The only reason I ask this is that there seems to be more documentation available for Embedded VB.

Many thanks

Hi
I recommed to use VB.net; there is no a big difference etween mobile and desktop apps in .et framework

eVB seems to have more docs ;
because the MSDN docs are for both .net framework and the compact framework no separation here Smile | :)

if u move to eVB u will be downgrading ur skills ; there is no types there [all variables are variant] no Try/Catch [just on error]

Is there any function in eVC++ which can pass some parameters to a running C# program?

"CreateProcess" can pass some parameters as a argument when a process start. However, how about the process is running?

Clicked Event on TextBox

I'm doing Embedded Development using Visual C#, VS.NET 2003 & PPC 2003 SE Emulator. I have a TextBox Control and I want to change the BackColor of it when someone clicks on it. Apparently Windows Forms Designer doesn't have the Click Event on the list of events available on the Windows Forms Designer but you can generate it from within the Code Editor. The Code Editor gives you the "Click" property when you type "." after the TextBox's name and then, after you type "+=" it detects that you want to generate an event handler displays a tooltip suggesting the rest of the line as in "new EventHandler(textBoxSearch_Click); (Press TAB to insert)". When you do press TAB it generates the new "EventHandler..." line and highlights "textBoxSearch_Click" and gives you another "(Press TAB to insert)" tooltip which will generate the "textBoxSearch_Click" handler in the current Form class. I put my code in the handler but nothing happens when I click on it. I ran it through the debugger putting a breakpoint inside the handler and nothing at all!! The program behaves as if there is no click event handler on the TextBox. Note that all the other event handlers for my other controls on the form work fine. But those other event handlers where generated through the Windows Forms Designer. Any suggestions?? Ideas??

TIA

I'd like to manage my Pocket PC from Desktop computer. For example to create file, or to delete it from Pocket PC. What should i use? Sockets? Or may be i can work with pocket pc like with a disket or any other driver by using the api functions like (CreateFile, DeleteFile)?

Yes, you can use RAPI (Remote Application Programming Interface wich have all the functions like CeReadFile, CeCreateFile, ...
Take a look at the MSDN for complete documentation.

Anonymous wrote:

This works the other way: from within a program on your desktop computer you can delete or create files on your PocketPC. Not the other way.

Hope this helps

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
