Hi,
I would like to migrate a CE 5.0 handheld product to Windows Mobile 6.5 (Not application migration, looking for OS Migration details)
Currently product supported features are: 802.11 a/b/g, Bluetooth, WPA or WPA2 security, WWAN, GSM/GPRS, GPS receiver, Barcodes, Display and Keyboard properties (touch screen, function keys, alpha numeric keys), Interfaces( USB Host & Client, Powered RS-232, Ethernet etc) etc.
My understaning is to migrate this product to WM, get the WM binaries from Microsoft and pull required drivers from current Win CE OS image and put in to new WM OS image. As WM on top of WinCE, changes in drivers will be very less. If I am wrong please share what are the changes required here.
Also I feel there will not be any chanegs requried in BSP/boot loader. Please correct me if my understaning is wrong or if anything I am missing here please let me know.
Ultimately I would like to know what will be the technical appraoch to migrate WINCE 5.0 to WM 6.5.
Thanks for your help.
Reagrds,
Noushad

Hi,
I'm writing a replacement for the volume control of Windows Mobile. To do so my program hooks the keyboard and listens for keypresses on the volume hardware keys. This works great but if WMP is in foreground it doesn't work. I've found the same behaviour in HTC FM Radio.
Why do these programs break the keyboard hook and how can I get this working?
This is the hook code (nothing special I think):
hookDeleg = new HookProc(HookProcedure);
hHook = WinApi.SetWindowsHookEx(WinApi.WH_KEYBOARD_LL, hookDeleg, WinApi.GetModuleHandle(null), 0);
if (hHook == 0)
{
MessageBox.Show("Keyboard Hook Failed", "VolumeKeys Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1);
Application.Exit();
}

Hi,
I want to write System files in window CE Compact flash card so that it
boots from CF flash. The files are
1.Configuration file: bootcepc.cnf
2. Boot logo .pcx file: bootcepc.pcx
3. Kernel Image file (nk.bin)
To write i have just copied file's by copy and paste in Flash but it doesn't
work and i am getting error like "Boot failure" . I heard about a utility
named (makeCFUtility) used to write in Flash. But i don't know how to
download this utility.
Is there is any other way to write system files in Flash card.
I am using Advantech single board (PCM-3370 F) with 128 MB RAM . The OS used
is Window CE 5.0.

Hi Folks,
The Nokia WRT Plug-in 2.2 for Aptana Studio is now available. This new version provides support for use of the plug-in on computers running Linux based Ubuntu 8.04 and Apple Mac OS X Snow Leopard.The Plug-in provides a set of tools for the creation, testing, debugging, and deployment of Web Runtime (WRT) widgets in Aptana Studio.
It supports the development of WRT widgets for any S60 device supporting WRT. This includes support for the development of home screen views and use of the Platform Services integration APIs. In case you want more details on this, just goto http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/00d62bd8-4214-4c86-b608-5f11b94dad54/Nokia_WRT_Plug_in_for_Aptana_Studio.html

Hi,
I wrote a program using VC++ that should scan for available wireless networks in the area.
In my SW I use the commands OID_802_11_BSSID_LIST_SCAN and OID_802_11_BSSID_LIST.
My questions are:
1. How can I Force the Wireless NIC to do ACTIVE SCAN (as contrary to PASSIVE scan) ?
2. According to tests that I did, the card does not flush the list between scans, i.e. I get for several scan a result of an AP that was on air during an old scan, but is no longer there, and new scans return's it's data as if it is still there.
A code part that I used is attached - in order to illustrate which functions I am using.
NDIS_802_11_BSSID_LIST* m_pBSSIDList;
m_pBSSIDList = (NDIS_802_11_BSSID_LIST *) VirtualAlloc (NULL,
sizeof (NDIS_802_11_BSSID_LIST) * NUMBEROF_BSSIDS,
MEM_RESERVE | MEM_COMMIT,
PAGE_READWRITE) ;
memset (m_pBSSIDList, 0, sizeof (NDIS_802_11_BSSID_LIST) * NUMBEROF_BSSIDS);
oidcode = OID_802_11_BSSID_LIST_SCAN;
DeviceIoControl (m_handle,
IOCTL_NDIS_QUERY_GLOBAL_STATS,
&oidcode,
sizeof(oidcode),
(ULONG *) NULL,
0,
&bytesreturned,
NULL);
Sleep (6100);
oidcode = OID_802_11_BSSID_LIST;
if (DeviceIoControl( m_handle,
IOCTL_NDIS_QUERY_GLOBAL_STATS,
&oidcode,
sizeof(oidcode),
(ULONG *) m_pBSSIDList,
sizeof(NDIS_802_11_BSSID_LIST) * NUMBEROF_BSSIDS,
&bytesreturned,
NULL) == 0)
{
return NULL;
}
else
{
return m_pBSSIDList;
}
If you have any idea of how can I solve my problems, or if you see that I forgot any important line- please let me know.
I am open to hear about completely new ways to do this. only requirement is that I will use VC++.
Thanks a lot,
--Amit.

This is for a PC app, not a mobile phone app, in VB.NET or C#. I am still assuming this is the best forum for the question.
What is the best way to go about writing a program using the .NET framework and free tools available to access information on a cell phone and transfer files in both directions? This is a broad question, since I would like to know whether Bluetooth or USB is the better way to go. I would also like to know which maker, among the largest (Nokia, Samsung) is easier to use in this way.

is this for Windows, then use the RAPI dll.

Hello everyone,
I have been working on an application prototype for couple of months now. The app is used frequently by the user throught the day and make extensive use of GPS for location aware functionality and communicates with server over GPRS/3G. It runs on Windows Mobile at present. We may eventualy want to use as much source code as possible to develop a version of this app for other mobile devices say Netbook/Notebook with a 3G card etc (this way we can re-use business logic and have different UI layer written which is specific to the device). The chosen development language so far has been C++ - MFC because we have been biased towards using C++ for performance reason. I have explored couple of cases to see what suits best for our app development moving forward
- C#/.NET compact framework or
- MFC or
- a Web application may be using Silverlight
Each have a positive and negative point for ex - MFC apps will have small memory footprint considering limited virtual memory on Window Mobile OS but development effort and complexity increases and it is not future proof. C# on the other hand is the choice moving forward because I believe MS will be want .NET CF and many .NET based technologies like Silverlight on Windows Mobile platform, Also you can run .NET CF applications on Desktop most of the time etc etc
My question is - do you know of any case where you made a decision of language and environment for similar application? do you have any advice based on your experiences so far on Windows Mobile development.

I'm biased towards C# for most applications because it is a rapid development language. The amount of effort taken to do most general task is highly reduced by the language facilities. Of course depending on how low level the functionality is that you use you may have to make extensive use of P/Invoking.

Thank you Joel. I work with C# and see the benefits but I need to find some case where it will really turn the decision in favor of managed code using .NET CF. I have a few cases with me but would like to see CPians view before finalizing (I have not made the decision yet and the views I read here will impact that)
On few forums I read posts which advice not to use managed code on Winmo because of performance, battery, and memory foot print issues with any code that requires runtime on mobile devices. What are your views on this?

I would like to get som help on how to start develop to a mobile phone, i want to create my own sms-app.
|
|
|
|

Start by choosing what platform you want to develop;
I f you want to develop for Nokia there are three platforms available
S40, S60 and MAEMO.
Then you can get Nokia platform sdk from here
That site also has lots of information and tools on developing for Nokia platforms
Best of luck

MENUITEM "Open", ID_FILE_OPEN
MENUITEM "Save", ID_FILE_SAVE
MENUITEM "Save As", ID_FILE_SAVE_AS
END
END
how can I change "Menu" string to something else say "View" programmatically? This menu is in one of the soft keys of smartphone.
I appreciate any help in advance regarding this issue.

Hey,
I'm trying to write a Windows Mobile application (C#) that will run on the background and will log to a file all the user input gestures: keyboard, mouse and especially touch (screen touch).
I was wondering maybe someone found/wrote code that does this task or similar that I can use.
I saw that 6.5 WM DKT supports motion-gestures API
but i could use a sample code (C#) and also- that only enable capturing motions in a specific application and not globally.
Thanks
