Hi All,

Have any of you tried to upgrade their ROM in www.yorch.net site?
I tried to burn a ROM but the site doesn't seem to be working. Does any of you know a good place for download a ROM upgrade to WM2003 for the XDA TMobile Pocket PC? Confused | :confused:

Thanks,
Alaa

Get rid of the authentification key in bluetooth

12-Jan-04 21:53

IIRC, call SHGetSpecialFolderPath with CSIDL_PERSONAL for the path to \My Documents.

Hello!

This is not a programing question!!
I have a bluetooth device that is 'connected' to my pockett PC. When this device is started, it asks the Pocket for an authentification key. I want know to disable (or store this key somewhere) this step so it will be completely transparent for the end user.

Any idea of how to do this ?? (not by program because none of my programs are run yet). Is it possible to write something in the register ?
Thanks

Its been a while since I did anything with bluetooth, but (IIRC) if you pair the devices you should not have to enter an authentification key.

Ok but I'm new with this kind of things.
I searched through the parameters of the bluetooth but I cannot find anything to pair the device.

Any idea ?

hanks for your response Wink | ;-)

Removing shortcuts from the start menu

12-Jan-04 22:39

As I said, Its been a while and maybe someone with more recent experience can help you better. Here's how I remember the whole thing.

how to do it manually:
Atcivate the BT on both devices:
Let one of the devices connect to/find the other
Pair the devices by entering an autherntication key on both devices.
(you will have to do this atleast once, otherwise how can they know about eachother)
Now they should be able to communicate with eachother at any time without a key.

with code:
I dont really know. When I was playing with this 2-3 yrs ago it was very stack-dependent. That is, the api's to search, connect and pair BT devices was supplied by the stack implementor. There was no standard way to do this that worked with every stack/os with a BT device. I have no idea if that has changed.

I'm using Windows CE, PocketPC 2003.

The problem I have is, I need to remove all of the shortcuts from the start menu except for Settings and the shortcut to my program. This would be done preferably in our install file (using InstallShield Developer 8.0) but I can get it to call a .dll or a .exe or whatnot if needs be, so just any method of removing these shortcuts programmatically would be appreciated..

Thanks

enumerate the .lnk files in \windows\start menu with findfirst/findnext and then move the ones you dont want there to \windows\start menu\programs

Note: you might want to use SHGetSpecialFolderPath to find out the non-english names of these folders if your users have non-enlish pdas.

Programs, Settings, Find and Help are not removable (or atleast Programs and Settings, dont really know about the other two).

Storage cards

#realJSOP9-Jan-04 4:08

While coding for some context menus, I stumbled across the following issues regarding storage cards. We are using the Compaq iPaq, and we have the dual PC-Card caddy. Our app relies on the iPaq to have the little blue memory card inserted, and we figured just checking for a "Storage Card" would be adequate. Oh, how wrong we were...

1) When the PDA is reset with the little blue memory card inserted in it's slot, it shows up as "Storage Card".

2) If you then insert a flashcard in the first PC-Card slot, it shows up as "Storage Card 2".

3) If you then insert a flashcard in the second PC-Card slot, it shows up as "Slot 2".

So far so good, right?

4) If you remove the little blue memory card and reset the pda, the flash card in PC-Card slot 1 becomes "Storage Card", and the flash card in PC-Card slot two remains "Slot 2".

5) If you then re-insert the little blue memory card into it's slot, it becomes "Storage Card 2".

-------------------------------------------------

This is NOT a good thing. We want to REQUIRE that the little blue memory card is inserted, but if a flash card can be inserted and is allowed to be a "Storage Card", we're screwed.

QUESTION:

Is there any way to tell whether or not the storage card is a memory card (using the memory card slot in the iPaq), or if it's plugged into a PC-Card slot in the caddy?

Well, I think I found a way to tell a storage card from everything else on the system.

From the device root, check each directory name to see if one of it's file attributes is FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY.

Well, my idea kinda works. It's filtering out all items that aren't temporary, but unfortunately, it's also including the "iPAQ File Store".

I guess I still need to find a method for identifying and showing JUST storage cards in a directory dialog...

Well, I tried using this code, and it still finds the "iPAQ File Store", even though it's not a flash card.

Grrrrr....

BOOL            bFoundCard = TRUE;
CString         strSub     = _T("");
HANDLE          hCard      = NULL;
WIN32_FIND_DATA fdCard;

hCard = FindFirstFlashCard(&fdCard);
if (hCard != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
   strSub.Format(_T("%s%s\\"), pszPath, fdCard.cFileName);
   EnumDirs(strSub, pszFilter, hItem);
   while (bFoundCard)
   {
      bFoundCard = FindNextFlashCard(hCard, &fdCard);
      if (bFoundCard)
      {
         // I had to include the following two lines of code to make sure
         // that my list only included actual storage cards
         CString sKey(_T("storage card 2 slot 2"));
         CString sTemp(fdCard.cFileName);
         sTemp.MakeLower();
         if (sKey.Find(sTemp) >= 0)
         {
            EnumDirs(strSub, pszFilter, hItem);
         }
      }
   } // while (bFoundCard)
}
FindClose (hCard);

Error installing WinCE SDK

Thanks for the link, but there's nothing there I didn't already try (and at first glance, that "mikeg" person is a prick).

I get an error installing both the standard SDK shipped with EVC++ 4.0 and the one for Pocket PC 2003 - "Failed to initialize property bag".

The SDKs appear to install some files but EVC++ 4.0 says that there is no SDK installed. I installed everything successfully on my laptop running Windows XP Professional but not on my desktop which runs 2000 professional.

I don't remember seeing this before, except maybe in Visual Studio .Net where it was an MSI issue but I have the latest runtime so I have no more ideas Cry | :((

I couldn't find anything at Google (other than someone with the same problem and no solution), which surprises me.

Can you help?
Thanks

Luke
