Hello,

I am using the HP Mobile Printing SDK for PocketPC to print from an application that I am developing. The PrintJob function works perfect, but I need to do my owe rendering and I am trying to use the function CreatePrinterContext () . That function return a Window HDC that I was trying to use like in a regular MFC App attaching it to a CDC where I can call the functions StartDoc, StartPage and so on, but those function are not available on the CE version of MFC since all the printing support was remove from it. Now I have no idea of how to use the Window HDC to print and I can not find any example on the web and HP will charge me $125 for support.

This is a quote from their help file:

CreatePrinterContext creates a device (printer) context describing the target properties so that an application can render into it. Currently, only direct-based printers are supported. Service-based printers will not be available to the user when the application uses this method of printing.
On PocketPC, MPRINT_DC is a Windows HDC and can be used as one.

If you have any idea of how to do it please let me know.

I know this subject has been up on various newsgroups etc. around the net but I will post it here anyway Smile | :)

I want to be able to navigate between controls in my PocketPC and I know I need to have C++ code handling the keyboard events. I wonder if anyone has/know of a program that will catch different keyboard events for a PPC and in some way display the identity of that event?

Links, articles or source... anything is good enough for me Big Grin | :-D

Thanks,

Peter

Have a look at this article: CCeListCtrlEx for Pocket PC 2002[^].

The list is implemented as a CListCtrl, so you will be able to add checkboxes to it.

PocketPC 2k2 with EVC++4.0

Is it possible to use a PocketPC 2k2 device with EVC++4.0? It tells me it's the wrong platform, so do I have to use EVC++3.0, or is there a setting somewhere to let it accept my 2k2 device? Help appreciated Big Grin | :-D

my understanding is that evc++4.x w/ppc2k3 sdk allows you to develop for ppc2k3 platforms which run the new win ce 4.2...these apps don't run on the ppc2k2 or ppc2k platforms

if you want to develop for ppc2k or ppc2k2 devices you must use evc++3.0 with the appropriate sdk...additionally, ppc2k or ppc2k2 apps SHOULD run on ppc2k3

From my experience (limited Smile | :)

) this is the case.

This seems to be true. For now I am going to stick with EVC++3.0, as for the time being I will only be developing for PPC2k2.

Thanks for the response Big Grin | :-D

afxres.h and resource file issues

rodent¹10-Aug-03 15:53

Re: afxres.h and resource file issues

10-Aug-03 15:53

using evc++ 3.0 on win2k system and having the following issue. i'm building a simple ppc2k2 win32 api based app (no mfc or atl) and the ide isn't creating any files for me.

i create an icon resource using "include->resource...", draw the icon, name the .rc file same name as my project file, save the .rc file in the same directory as my .cpp file, and then using "project->add to project->files" add the .rc and resource.h files to my project.

first problem is afxres.h can't be found (doesn't exist on my system) and ide can't open up the resources..i remove the #include "afxres.h" from the .rc file. then trying to access the .rc file from the ide gives two errors (RC2144: PRIMARY LANGUAGE ID not a number, RC2135: file not found: 101) and fails to load resources again.

finally i edit the .rc file and remove the following and the ide seems ok with the .rc file.

///////////////////////////////////////////
// English (U.S.) resources

#if !defined(AFX_RESOURCE_DLL) || defined(AFX_TARG_ENU)
#ifdef _WIN32
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
#pragma code_page(1252)
#endif //_WIN32

i'd like to have the .rc files and editor work without requiring mods every time...what am i doing wrong and what's the purpose of afxres.h?

thanks...

2. afxres.h
This is an MFC supplied file which defines resource IDs for stuff like strings for use in menu hinting etc.

You should be able to remove the reference to it from the "View/Resource Includes" option. I suspect that it (afxres.h)will be including other files which define LANG_ENGLISH.

On my system here, that's WINNT.H, your system may be different.
Once you've identified it, you could try using "View/Resource Includes" to specify that file should be included.
That way you should not need to make any other changes manually.

Tap-And-Hold in Edit Controls

12-Aug-03 2:14

thanks Steve and it makes sense...i'll check out WINNT.H on my system for the #defines you mention.

what's frustrating me is that i haven't found out why the resource compiler is even including afxres.h in the resource includes when i purposely create the project as a non-MFC project and don't utilize the wizard-created files.

i'll check out what you suggest as well as continue to dig into the compiler/linker/other options in hope of finding this.

I have an Edit Box within a Dialog on a PPC application written with eVC++ (using MFC). I would like to implement a context menu for copy/cut/paste/undo within the Edit Box. I have read some articles about using SHRecognizeGesture to implement this feature. But, SHRecognizeGesture is usually used with the WM_LBUTTONDOWN message handler. I receive the OnLButtonDown message in my Dialog Class only when the cursor is outside of the Edit Box. Any help on how to proceed is much appreciated.

Confused | :confused:

João Paulo Figueira10-Aug-03 11:43

To intercept a WM_LBUTTONDOWN in an edit box you will have to subclass it. Create a new class that inherits from CEdit, and override the OnLButtonDown message handler to handle the tap-and-hold. To ensure that it will work in the dialog, make sure you force class wizard to use your class in the CDialog generation (use the Control setting, not the Value).

Hello Joao,

I believe that I understand the method that you are describing and will try it out this week. Thank you for your advice.

Hello Joao Paulo,

I have another newby question.

I was able to create a context menu (cut/copy/paste/undo) with your help. But now, I do not know how to get a pointer to the text which I selected in the edit control so that I can use the CEdit::Cut,Copy,... methods. Can you help me to understand this?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Dave Schneider

João Paulo Figueira21-Aug-03 22:13

21-Aug-03 22:13

Hi Dave,
To get the selected portion of the text, you use the EM_GETSEL message or, if using MFC, CEdit::GetSel. These will return indexes to the starting and ending characters of the selected substring. To retrieve the full string, use GetWindowText.

João Paulo

console support for ppc?

Re: console support for ppc?

9-Aug-03 15:32

just getting into ppc2k2 development and wanting to get basic console support for debugging in both the emulator and the actual device...i'm using evc++ 3.0 on win2k machine...any suggestions or links?

thanks...

João Paulo Figueira10-Aug-03 11:35

Re: console support for ppc?

10-Aug-03 11:35

There is no console support in PPC2K2. If you want to print tracing messages, use the TRACE macro in you application, an monitor these on eVC's debug window during debugging.

João Paulo
