Tell me,please, how to rotate screen in pocketPC2002 from my program.
|
|
|
|
|
Screen rotation is only available at the OS level on Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition (SE). Your Pocket PC 2002 system does not apply.

Hello !!
This is not a programming question...
I have an access database in the MyDocuments folder. When I try to MANUALLY copy the database from my desktop over the database on my pocket I have an error (after saying yes to the overwriting question). It says that another process is using the file and this is not true  . The proof is that when I delete the file and then copy it, that works !!
Anybody does have an idea of what happens here ???

Hi,
For programming pocketpc(.net compact framework) in C#, do I need to
buy the whole Visual studio .net package or just buy the C#.net package ?
There is a great price difference between the two. Have anyone just buy
C#.net and able to use it to program smart device in .net CF ?
Thanks

I believe you will have to buy the enterprise architect package (the whole thing).

I try to connect to device, or initialize the connection , i don't know, in other words i use CeRapiInit(), but when the Pocket PC doesn't connect, my programm hangs on("frozen"). How to get know about if the pocket is connected or not?
|

|

Here's what I normally do:
RAPIINIT ri = { sizeof(RAPIINIT) };
HRESULT hRes = CeRapiInitEx(&ri);
DWORD dwRet = WaitForSingleObject(ri.heRapiInit, 5000);
if ((dwRet != WAIT_OBJECT_0) || !SUCCEEDED(ri.hrRapiInit))
{
OutputDebugString(_T("Failed to connect to the PDA. Make sure its connected via ActiveSync"));
CeRapiUninit();
}

Hai all,
In my appln.using eVC++ 6 in WinCE 4.1,
I load a bitmap on a dialog stretched to the output device screen.
The loading of the bitmap takes much time and eventually, slows down the application.
How can the bitmap loading can be made faster
Your help will be appreciated.
With Thanks,
Arun.

How are you loading the bitmap? What is the bitmap color depth?

Hai Paulo,
I tried loading the bitmap in two ways:
1) By just loading from resource using "LoadBitmap()"
2) By loading from DLL.
Both have the same (slow)effect.
And the bitmaps used are of 24-bit color depth.
Thanks,
Arun

Try reducing the color depth of the bitmap. Odds are your display is not a true color, so you might want to match the bitmap color depth to the device's, speeding up the load process.

Hai Paulo,
I tried loading bitmaps with lower color depth.
The result is the same
Is there any other way to do it?
Thanks
Arun

 Maybe not... Are you stretching the bitmap?

Hi paulo,
ya, i stretched the bitmap over the dialog
which covers the target device output.
Thanks

That may well be the problem... Stretching bitmaps is more expensive than just blitting them without change. Try this to see if speed improves.

Yes, it has some improvements in speed.
But still, there is noteable delay in loading the unstretched bitmap over the dialog.
Plz help me.
Thanks,
Arun A.C.

Can you please show the code you are using?
Maybe you can load the bitmap from resources at application startup and then just use it when you need it painted... (this will use up memory, of course)

Hello,
I have already communicate with a lot of experts and read a lot about my
problem which is as follows: I want to develop a generic program for a
PocketPC, which logs the method-call and the time when any button or anything
else is executed, respectively a method is executed, in a file on the Pocket
PC. I need this for Usability studies. Every experts told me that i can reach
this only with embedded c++ or c code. I wrote my previous programs always with
c#.
So i want to ask in this forum if somebody can help me to solve my problem?
- this would be very important for me, because i need it for my diploma
(thesis).
thanks in advance.
Regards.
Patrick

Hello !
I'm facing a problem when opening a connection to a BlueTooth device (using CreateFile, WriteFile, ...). So, the connection is opened like a normal serial port but when I try to write something to the port, if the device was not connected, my program hangs (so, the WriteFile instruction never times out !!). I set the write timeout to a specified value (so, it is not an infinite timeout):
COMMTIMEOUTS Timeouts;<br />
Timeouts.ReadIntervalTimeout=MAXDWORD;<br />
Timeouts.ReadTotalTimeoutMultiplier=MAXDWORD;<br />
Timeouts.ReadTotalTimeoutConstant=500;<br />
Timeouts.WriteTotalTimeoutMultiplier=100;<br />
Timeouts.WriteTotalTimeoutConstant=500;<br />
SetCommTimeouts(hCom,&Timeouts);<br />
If I use this code on a desktop computer it works (so the WriteFile instruction times out if no connection is established).
Anybody has an idea how I can change this behaviour ?? This Write instruction is in fact a command sent to the device to get back its Id number (so, check if the connection was well established and the device recognized).
Thanks

Hi,
I'm doing a similar thing with an iPAQ and a Bluetooth module (I've been away so sorry for the delay in replying to your question). I had a look at my own code for setting the timeouts and as you can see it is very similar, but the values are a bit different:-
COMMTIMEOUTS timeouts;<br />
<br />
VERIFY(GetCommTimeouts(m_hSendPort, &timeouts));<br />
<br />
timeouts.ReadIntervalTimeout = MAXDWORD;<br />
timeouts.ReadTotalTimeoutMultiplier = 0;<br />
timeouts.ReadTotalTimeoutConstant = 0;<br />
timeouts.WriteTotalTimeoutMultiplier = 100;<br />
timeouts.WriteTotalTimeoutConstant = 0;<br />
<br />
VERIFY(SetCommTimeouts(m_hSendPort, &timeouts));
I haven't had a problem with this. On my system if the Bluetooth device is not connected, the Bluetooth connection will not open succesfully and my program detects that, so perhaps that is the difference. Sorry I can't be more help.
As you are a fellow Bluetoother, may I ask you a question? On my iPAQ, when I 'CreateFile' to start the comms it runs the Bluetooth manager and I have to manually select the device I want (even though it is the only Bluetooth device!). I would really like to automate this, any ideas? I've looked and looked on the web for help with this, but it is pretty thin.
Hope you sort your problem, 
Ali

Hi !
Thank you for your response !
I solved my problem by watching the DSR line (this was not working on the desktop but works fine on the PocketPC). If this line is at 1, the device is connected, otherwise it isn't.
For your question, I had the same problem once but I cannot remeber how I solved it... Try perhaps to pair the devices ?? Or check your BlueTooth settings with the BlueTooth manager...

I have got the two devices paired already and I can't find anything in the manager, unless its there and I am not seeing it ! I wondered if it just happens on iPAQs? Anyway if you do remember how you sorted it let me know, thanks.
Cheers,
Ali

You need to set BtBrowserEnabled=0 for the outgoing COM port that attaches to the other BT device.

hi,
my app is constituted by a http client (ppc emulator) and a http server (desktop).
the server accepts multipart POST.
my problem is that, sometimes the server can just receive the http header sent by the client. i dunno it's the problem of my server or client. 
here is my code segment:
CLIENT:
WebRequest request;
Stream requestStream;
try
{
request = HttpWebRequest.Create(url);
request.ContentType = "multipart/form-data; boundary=" + boundaryString + "\r\n";
request.ContentLength = message.Length;
request.Method = "POST";
request.Timeout = 10000;
requestStream = request.GetRequestStream();
requestStream.Write(message, 0, message.Length);
// Close the Stream object.
requestStream.Close();
// 1. Get the Web Response Object from the request
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
// 2. Get the Stream Object from the response
Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
// 3. Create a stream reader and associate it with the stream object
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader (responseStream);
// 4. read the entire stream
results = reader.ReadToEnd();
reader.Close();
responseStream.Close();
}
catch(WebException webEx)
{
results = "An exception occurred relating to the use of " +
"a web response or request object. The specific exception was:" +
webEx.Message;
}
//Did some type of general exception occur?
catch(Exception ex)
{
results = "A general exception occurred while attempting to " +
"retrieve the requested page." +
ex.Message;
}
SERVER:
private void AcceptCallback(IAsyncResult ar)
{
// Signal the main thread to continue.
allDone.Set();
// Get the socket that handles the client request.
Socket listener = (Socket) ar.AsyncState;
Socket handler = listener.EndAccept(ar);
f1.ShowSystemMessage("\r\nClient Connected!!"
+"\r\n=================="
+"\r\nCLient IP "
+ handler.RemoteEndPoint + "\r\n");
// Create the state object.
StateObject state = new StateObject();
state.workSocket = handler;
handler.BeginReceive(state.buffer, 0, StateObject.BufferSize, 0,
new AsyncCallback(ReadCallback), state);
}
private void ReadCallback(IAsyncResult ar)
{
String content = String.Empty;
// Retrieve the state object and the handler socket
// from the asynchronous state object.
StateObject state = (StateObject) ar.AsyncState;
Socket handler = state.workSocket;
// Read data from the client socket.
int bytesRead = handler.EndReceive(ar);
if (bytesRead > 0)
{
state.sb.Append(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(state.buffer));
f1.ShowSystemMessage(state.sb.ToString());
ProcessRequest(state);
// Check for end-of-file tag. If it is not there, read more data.
content = state.sb.ToString();
// All the data has been read from the client. Display it on the console.
f1.ShowSystemMessage("Read " + content.Length.ToString()
+ " bytes from socket. \r\n Data : " + content );
state.ClearSB();
}//end if
}
thanks

I'm new to wireless development and am looking for a small sample app that would retrun me the signal strength of the wireless client atapted in my CE device. Or just pointing me in the right direction would help to get me started.
Thanks,
Clay
