A today screen component is the little apps that run on a today screen of a PocketPC device, like the calendar, inbox, and more (I have one that MS Money added).

If you have questions about Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++, I suggest you post them in the C++ forum. If you look in the Windows Mobile SDK, there's also a sample about writing a today screen component.

That greatly depends on how your application is installed. You might start by telling us whether your using the CAB+INF way, or some other installer.
By default, every known installer I've worked with (many) does not delete files it doesn't install, like files that applications create at runtime.

This has been posted quite recently and i believe the answer was you can't, it's not supported by the .Net Compact Framework. I'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong though

Hello,
I'm creating a dialog with a small list of files, where the user can add/remove arbitrary files via an open file dialog.
What I want is for the user to be able to dblclick an item in the list, and bring up that file in internet explorer (assuming there is a plug-in installed for the given file type, otherwise I guess IE would show a warning.
How can this be done? CommandLine argument?
Is there such a thing as an internet explorer control available that I can embed easily? Otherwise just an IE window popping
up would do the job for me equally well..

Why, don't you just use Process.Start () and open the fil in the default application?

yes I could, but the application that will eventually use the files on this list (not the same as mine) might not have the same default applications. And that app will also want to start the files listed here in IE through plug-ins. So I need to supply the same functionality here...

I really don't get why you need to view the files in a browser.
Why would you, for instance, like to open a pdf in a browser.
If he has a plugin for the browser you can be shure he has a standalone application for that file type.

IE can be embedded as an ActiveX control within your application. If you add the "Microsoft Web Browser Control" COM Component (shdocvw.dll) to your Toolbox, you'll be able to insert that on your form. To visit a website, call the control's Navigate function. The Web Browser control is heavily documented on MSDN, and many examples exist on the 'net for showing some of the advanced things you can do with it.

In addition to what CWIZO and John said, you can interop shdocvw.dll by using tlbimp.exe or VS.NET (add a COM reference to your project for the Microsoft Web Browser library) and use the InternetExplorer class to load a file. This will create a new instance of IE or use an existing instance (the fore-most instance, IIRC) to display the HTML (or whatever IE-handled file). Using Process.Start with a filename (works like ShellExecute(Ex) ) will use the default browser, but if you want to make sure they use IE (maybe the HTML files are scripted only for IE, for example) use the InternetExplorer object or use Process.Start("iexplore.exe", pathToHtmlFile) .

Hi,
just a quick question. How can I make sure that a message box opens over all open windows. For example, the application is testing for a certain event every 10 seconds but the user might be browsing the internet or using word when the event occurs. I need the message box from the app to appear over all windows that are open to let the user know that the event has occurred. I'd imagine its straight forward but I have tried setting focus on the form or bringing it to front in the line before the MessageBox.show line but the message box doesnt pop up over the windows I have open. As I said, its probably simple but its driving me mad!!,
Regards,
John

First, don't use MessageBox.
Create your own message box form and set it's TopMost property to true. When you want to show the form, set it's message property or call a method to set the message (which you also have to provide) and then just creat a new instance of the form and call .ShowDialog().
myMsgBox msg = new myMsgBox;
myMsgBox.Message = "Some message...";
myMsgBox.TopMost = true;
myMsgBox.ShowDialog();

Please post your code when you have a question, it helps us find out what you're doing wrong. Ive just created a KeyPress event handler in VS2003 and when i press Enter on my DataGrid my MessageBox is shown.
private void dataInvoice_KeyPress(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
MessageBox.Show("Testing");<br />
}
This was done by double clicking the KeyPress event in the properties window for the DataGrid. If this does not help then please post your code and someone should be able to point you in the right direction.

I would be very interested if it is possible to add an item to a context menu (e.g.in Outlook) or in a menu in general (again Outlook).
If it is I would be very interested what the code has to look like to add the item.
So if someone is willing to share this code section it would be very interesting for me to try this out myself!

I would be interested in this, too!
But I can't find this posting you are refering to!
Could you please be a little more specific or do you have a link to the posting?
Thanks!
Stephan.

well, as far as I know I once read of someone who said you have to clone the existing menu, do a lot of castings and dig deep into the microsoft model to do this.
I once wanted to do this myself but after 14 days of doing this and that I gave up because I had no real result, which was worth working on it any further.
So from my point of view I would say do insert a button, that's much more easy to do. And if you finally did it this way and everything works and there is still some amount of time you could still try do some research or testings on you aim.
But don't mess up to long wasting time because you do want your solution to be 100% the way you planned it. Beliefe me: You do have to change opinions quit often while designing big proggies!

Hi there, my question is:
How do I automatically resize the Form when the screen resolution changes between design-time and runtime?
My application is developed with 1024 * 768 but i am not sure that all users do use this resolution. and i don`t want to change the users resolution programtically by using user32.dll. I want my application to adjust to users resolution.
Please help me out
