I'm currently trying to install the Windows CE Platform Manager 4.0 as part of the embedded Visual C++ setup, but it appears to have hung.
I've tried several times, but it runs through the 'configuring' stage once (fairly quickly) and then on the 2nd time it sits at one 'square' on the progress bar and doesn't appear to be doing anything. There's no CPU activity, no disk activity, and nothing else happening - despite going for nearly an hour.
Any ideas? Should I just leave it and hope it completes? Or is there something I can do check to make sure it installs properly?
The problem is, I can't install Embedded VC4 without the plaform manager installed, and I have to get this working.

I managed to inatall eVC4 over eVC3 with no problems. Did you thoroughly check out those damned readme files?
|
|
|
|
|
Yep, read all the readme files. I tried installing eVC3 last night, and exactly the same thing happened with that, too. I left it going all night, and it was still in the same place this morning.
Even if I try to cancel the installation, it sits there doing nothing for hours too. The only way I can get it to continue is to kill the process 'emulator.exe'.
Any clues at all would be most useful.

What about your base system? Is it a W2K or XP fully updated? Accept nothing less than that.
|

|
|
|
It's XP Pro, and fully updated......
I'm going to have to try the last-resort option - I'm going to do a clean XP install and see if it'll work on that.....

Good luck!

Well, one clean XP installation later, and it installed flawlessly.
<sigh>
Thanks for your help, anyway!

What is these terms ?
-Palm/Palm size
-PocketPC
-Handheld
-WindowsCE
I don't know clearly about it. Explain me !
=======================
Nothing is perfect
|
|
|
|
|
Here's my take at it:
Windows CE - The underlying operating system.
PocketPC - Windows CE 3.0 with special specs.
Handheld - Windows CE 2.1 (I believe) in clamshell landscape shape.
Palm size - Older version of PocketPC-sized devices, WinCE 2.1 (?)
Palm - That's another story...

I wonder if SetCursor() work in CE 3.0 ?
Nothing is prefect

|
|
Why would you want to do it?
|
|
|
|
|
I want my mouse cursor turns HAND-icon when I drag mouse over a region.

You want to use a mouse cursor on Pocket PC?

Does anybody know if there is a MIDI library (APIs) under Windows CE.
I am looking for the APIs to send and recieve system execlusive messages.
Thanks for any reply .

Check the wfmtmidi.h header file. If you have the PPC2002 SDK and help file, check out the entry for the WAVEFORMAT_MIDI_MESSAGE structure.

Hi !
I have a problem ... i have written a program that communicates with IR - serial communication with my pocket pc and my mobile phone. I used for that a part of the little tty-codesample, which you can find in the help of the Visual C++ tools of Microsoft. I changed there some communication options and it worked. But now i want to use that serial communication with bluetooth. Could that work? And one thing is, that i don't know exactly, how i have to setup the settings for that communication (serial). My current setup is like that:
PortDCB.BaudRate = CBR_9600;
PortDCB.fBinary = TRUE;
PortDCB.fParity = TRUE;
PortDCB.fOutxCtsFlow = FALSE;
PortDCB.fOutxDsrFlow = FALSE;
PortDCB.fDtrControl = DTR_CONTROL_ENABLE;
PortDCB.fDsrSensitivity = FALSE;
PortDCB.fTXContinueOnXoff = TRUE;
PortDCB.fOutX = FALSE;
PortDCB.fInX = FALSE;
PortDCB.fErrorChar = FALSE;
PortDCB.fNull = FALSE;
PortDCB.fRtsControl = RTS_CONTROL_ENABLE;
PortDCB.fAbortOnError = FALSE;
PortDCB.ByteSize = 8;
PortDCB.Parity = NOPARITY;
PortDCB.StopBits = ONESTOPBIT;
and:
CommTimeouts.ReadIntervalTimeout = MAXDWORD;
CommTimeouts.ReadTotalTimeoutMultiplier = 0;
CommTimeouts.ReadTotalTimeoutConstant = 0;
CommTimeouts.WriteTotalTimeoutMultiplier = 10;
CommTimeouts.WriteTotalTimeoutConstant = 1000;
That worked for the IR-communication, but not for bluetooth.
Would be very fine, if someone knows a trick to setup for bluetooth communication !!!

Hi,
how is that "Button-bar" (#ab|cde|...|xyz) at the top of the CE-addressbook programmed? That would interest me, because it's fine for scrolling in a listbox.

Right. Do this:
In your CChildWnd, declare the following:
protected:
CLetterStrip m_wndStrip;
In the OnCreate handler, create the window. To place it on the top, just like the image on the article, use the following:
DWORD dwStyle = WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE;
m_wndStrip.Create(dwStyle, CPoint(0, 0), this, ID_LETTERSTRIP);
To handle the letter commands, use the following message map:
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CChildView, CWnd))
...
ON_COMMAND(ID_LETTERSTRIP, OnLetterStrip)
...
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
In the OnLetterStrip method, use m_wndStrip.GetOption() to retrieve the selected letter. Note that the letter strip is created as a child window, not as a toolbar.

Hey all,
In the near future I'm going to be developing a WinCE.NET driver for a particular piece of hardware that my company makes. As I've never really done anything like this before, I'm looking for as much information as possible on the topic. I've gone through the MSDN site and read all the relevant articles, but I was wondering if there was another source of [good] information about WinCE driver development on the web. Some example code would be a huge help too! Thanks!
