I tried to read an article, but I didn't find anything helpful. Problem is, that I am using VB for Windows CE and there is not supported WndProc. What can I do?
This is a fragment of code. What I am doing wrong? WndProc cannot be recognized od VB for Window CE.
<dllimport("coredll.dll", setlasterror:="True," charset:="CharSet.Auto)"> Private Shared Function FindWindow(ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As IntPtr
End Function
<dllimport("coredll.dll", setlasterror:="True," charset:="CharSet.Auto)"> Private Shared Function SendMessage( _
ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, ByVal wMsg As Int32, ByVal wParam As Int32, ByVal lParam As Int32) As Int32
End Function
<dllimport("coredll.dll", setlasterror:="True)"> _
Private Shared Function SetWindowLong(ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, ByVal nIndex As Integer, ByVal dwNewLong As WndProc) As Integer
End Function
Public Shared Sub Main2()
Dim ip As IntPtr
ip = FindWindow(vbNullString, "Kvant 1.0")
If (ip <> 0) Then
MsgBox("Kuk!")
SendMessage(ip, &H10, 0, 0)
End If
End Sub
Dim GWL_WNDPROC As Long = -4
Dim lpPrevWndProc As Integer
Public Function SubClass(ByVal lHwnd As Long) As Boolean
Beep()
lpPrevWndProc = SetWindowLong(lHwnd, GWL_WNDPROC, AddressOf WndProc)
End Function
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef recWinMessage As Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.Message)
MyBase.WndProc(recWinMessage)
End Sub
Shared Sub Main()
Application.Run(New AOutForm())
End Sub

Did you add the reference to Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms in your project?
It is supported.

Yes. When I inherit class like this
Partial Public Class AOutForm
Inherits Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.MessageWindow
then WndProc works, but I have problem to launch application, because
Application.Run(New AOutForm())
does not work. What to do?

The VB My feature is supported in the compact framework. Perhaps that will simplify your efforts
msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/5btzf5yk(v=vs.80).aspx
I can't find any useful info about Application.Run with the current MSDN site. 
So I keep having to switch to another machine that has most of the old Windows CE stuff.
Can you let me know any error codes that you receive, I will be able to look those up, on the other machine too.

How can I create a dialog Window in VB for CE. I mean something like DoModal() in C++. Sorry, I have just poor knowledge about this.
The error message what you are asking me for is:
Error 3 Value of type 'AOut.WNDMSG' cannot be converted to 'System.Windows.Forms.Form'. C:\Program Files\Measurement Computing\DAQFlex for Windows CE\Examples\VB\AOut\AOutForm.Common.vb 209 25 AOut

I know that example. I does not help me because my Window class is derived from Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.MessageWindow, not from System.Windows.Forms.Form.

You might get more help within Microsoft's own developer forums, as there's scant info about Windows CE programming on the wider web.
They have been happy to help me in the past.

I use the statements like the following:
If SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
If SaveFileDialog1.FileName = "" Then
MsgBox("Plase input file name ")
Then if I don't input file name in the dialog,just press the save button, it seems the dialog can't return, i.e, close it.
Is the DialogResult.OK requires user must input filename?

The "ShowDialog" method is blocking; it will halt the execution of the current thread until the dialog is dismissed by the user. You're checking whether the result of that method equals the enumerated value "DialogResult.OK".

I mean if user input nothing in the dialog, then user press save, it will not return.
Is that showdialog() ask user must input something?

It'll return, but with a different value.

Yup, with various options[^] to influence it's behaviour.

Nope, not so, please see Richards answer, which is correct to my knowledge

I did, a few weeks ago. Didn't update this answer, as his problem is already solved.
Simply downvote the answer if you don't like it

No need for that, I was just passing by and felt the need to butt in...

You cannot use OK without a filename, you must use Cancel.
Use the best guess
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, that was I encountered. shodialog() seems that user must input a file name and then click OK, otherwise, user can only click cancel

In MSDN forum, it explains that:
the RestoreDirectory property to ensure that the current directory is restored when the dialog box is closed.
But I tried the example code, I can't find the difference between
RestoreDirectory = true or RestoreDirectory = false.
Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
Dim myStream As Stream = Nothing
Dim openFileDialog1 As New OpenFileDialog()
openFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = "c:\"
openFileDialog1.Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*"
openFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 2
openFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory = False
If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
Try
myStream = openFileDialog1.OpenFile()
If (myStream IsNot Nothing) Then
' Insert code to read the stream here.
End If
Catch Ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("Cannot read file from disk. Original error: " & Ex.Message)
Finally
' Check this again, since we need to make sure we didn't throw an exception on open.
If (myStream IsNot Nothing) Then
myStream.Close()
End If
End Try
End If
End Sub

The documentation[^] could be worded better. However, I think the issue is that the OpenFileDialog by default remembers the last directory navigated to. If RestoreDirectory is set to true then it restores the previous saved directory. This should be easy to confirm with a test.
Use the best guess
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, it only reopen the last directory navigated to, whether the ResotreDirectory is set to true or false.
Don't know what the RestoreDirecotry property can do.
|
|
|
|
|
You are right; I just tried it and cannot see any difference.
Use the best guess
|
|
|
|
|
|
I don't think that's entirely true.
I think the FileDialogs change the CurrentDirectory when you navigate around the directory tree. They don't remember the last directory navigated to, but rely on the CurrentDirectory to supply it. When you set RestoreDirectory to true, the CurrentDirectory is reset back to what it was when the dialog was Shown.
