Can I Link a checkbox to a TextBox?

12-Nov-03 2:51

My guess is that because ConvertStringToBSTR uses char* instead of TCHAR*, it is not supported under Windows CE. To achieve the same effect, take a look at _bstr_t and CComBSTR.

First this is what I am trying to achieve.

I want a single checkbox and a textbox. If the checkbox is checked (selected) I want the textbox to instantly become invisible or read-only. If the checkbox is un-checked I want the textbox to be visible and writable.

The environment is ASP.NET mobile controls i.e. a browser on a mobile phone, PDA, etc. Ideally I don’t want to postback when the checkbox is selected. I assume I need a SelectionList to create a checkbox but where do I go from there?

Thanks.

Problem with _Connection::Open() !

Hi all,
I am using ADOCE. My requirement is to open a connection to a database (Test.sdf) in the Pocket PC. The problem is _Connection::Open throws an exception "File not found" even though I am giving the right path. My question is, What is the exact format format in which the connection string has to be passed to the _Connection::Open() function ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Amit

From the adoce31.tlh file (generated using the #import directive, we can read the method prototype as:

HRESULT Open (
    _bstr_t ConnectionString,
    _bstr_t UserID,
    _bstr_t Password,
    long Options );

All parameters are optional. The ConnectionString parameter states the connection string(that can be optionally set via PutConnectionString) has a very specific format. For "Pocket Access" databases, use Data Source=\\FolderName\\DbName.cdb. Top open SQL CE databases, use:

_Connection::PutProvider(_T("Microsoft.SQLSERVER.OLEDB.CE.2.0"));
_Connection::Open(_T("Data Source=\\FolderName\\DbName.cdb"));

You can optionally do everything in one step:

Open(_T("Provider=Microsoft.SQLSERVER.OLEDB.CE.2.0;Data Source=\\FolderName\\DbName.cdb"));

Hi,
I am giving the connection string as "Data Source = history.sdf" but still the same problem persists. Could this be because this format is only applicable for *.cdb file and not *.sdf ? I am having Test.sdf on my pocket PC as the query analyzer gave only one option (SDF) while creating the database.
Many thanks for your reply.

Amit

Use a full path name on the connection string. The Pocket PC does not allow for relative path names, nor does it recognize a current directory. Check my samples: they all start with a '\'.

Hi there João,
I have tried giving "Data Source = \\history.sdf" and have ensured that this file is present in the root directory (listed as "My Device" as seen from the file explorer in the pocket PC). Still the same problem persists. Could there be any thing else I can try ?
Regards,
Amit

If you did set the correct provider, I can only guess that the file is corrupted. Use the SQL CE query analyzer to open the database file and browse it.

Help with linker error for "vtMissing" !!

7-Nov-03 3:48

Hi João,
I'm really sorry for the inconvenience I'm causing you with this. Please bear with me. Now after a lot of hardcoding it is finally working. The problem was with the parameter passing.
My actual requirement is to create a number of connections to the database in the beginning itself and store them in an array so they can be used by a no. of threads. At present, after creating the first connection, when it attempts to create another, _Connection::Open() throws the exception "Cannot create a file when that file already exists". Is there some restriction with ADOCE ?

Amit

Hi all,
I am developing an application using eVC4.0. I'm getting a linker error saying "error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "class _variant_t vtMissing". In one section of MSDN, I found that vtMissing is supplied by #import. I have imported arm\adoce31.dll. Do I need to include any other library also ??

Amit

I just realised...the adoce31.dll I am using is located is located under "Embedded Tools 3.0" directory and not the "Windows CE Tools" which comes with eVC4.0. There is no separate adoce31.dll with eVC 4.0. Could that be a reason ?

.... and some more are there.... not pasting here since it'll make this msg very long...

Could anyone help me in solving these?

I'm using one function, which is defined in a LIB. I included that .lib and the corresponding .dll file in my project and also gave the 'path' in 'Tools -> Options -> Directories'.

Still I'm getting the error,
FinalHookDlg.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp_fnOrig referenced in function "public: void __cdecl CFinalHookDlg::OnRun(void)" (?OnRun@CFinalHookDlg@@QAAXXZ)

here, fnOrig function is inside a .lib file.
i gave the statement,

extern "C" __declspec(dllimport) void fnOrig();
before i called this function...
there is no compiler error... but it's giving linker error...
and one more thing... that is .... the same code compiled and executed in normal VC++. (Windows NT / 2k)
but.. here in WinCE, it's giving these problem..
can anyone help me...?
thanks in advance..

Jinoj

In the project settings (Alt+F7), you have to explicitly state the library name on the Linker tab.

How to synchronise from PocketPC to a SQL server ?

PalmOS Compiling using prc-tools gcc

Hello all,
My requirement is to be able to update my SQL server DB once I connect the Pocket PC to the workstation. When I select "Export Database Tables" from the ActiveSync menu, it lists out some default tables on the PocketPC. I am not able to see my tables on the same. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I cant seem to find any documentation on the process of compling a souce file to a .prc file. As you might have guessed I very new to PalmOS development and am interested in learning mroe about it. There seem to be a number of intermediate steps involved in the compilation process but I am not too sure how it all works. I am somewhat familier with the regular version of gcc, so if anyone could offer a few tips or point me in the right direction that would be great.

Dialog Error

I have a dialog that is asserting during the OnInitDialog method. The framework is sending the dialog an nID=1. I don't have a single #define or a control that is defined as 1. The framework seems to be sending this nID value each time a dialog is opened. In most cases nothing happens, but in this one dialog it asserts during the ddx routines.

Any ideas why on this one dialog asserts?

Thanks,
-Eric

This may be a dumb question, but what does everyone use to create their documenation for their ppc apps? I want to include some kind of online documentation for my application, but I don't think the standard .hlp files will work on the ppc correct?

Is it just best to create an html type file?
