Delete problem in the PPC2002 to PPC2003 migration code

Hello Friends,

I am migrating an application from PPC2002 to PPC2003. I have got all
the code compiled successfully and built the executable. But when I
run it on the device it gives some problems. In my code there are lots
of deletes called. (i.e. new for every object and corresponding delete
for the same)
The migrated application crashes in every detete that is called. It is
not that the delete is wrong. It is a properly tested code for PPC2002
platform.
The application also crashes if a null pointer is accessed for checking
it's nullness. (For example refer following code. it crashes in if()
statement.)

char* l_pChar = NULL;
...
if (l_pChar == NULL)
{
l_pChar = new char[10];
}

If there is anybody who had experianced same problem and wishes to share
then they are morethan welcome.

Thanks and regards,

Mandar Sarpotdar

One thing that comes to mind is that you should check that all your new[] statements have matching delete[] statements. Calling delete on memory allocated with new[] is 'Undefined behaviour'. This was something you could get away with (that is, leak memory but not crash) in ppc2002, but ppc2003 allocates memory diffrently and will probably crash when you try to access that memory again.

char* l_pChar = NULL;
if (l_pChar == NULL)
{
    MessageBox(0, L"is null", L"dbg", 0
}
else
{
    MessageBox(0, L"is not null", L"dbg", 0
}

Does this code also crash for you? Then there's something wrong with your system.

Otherwise, you'll need to show what you do in the ... section of your code. There is a high chance that you have corrupted the heap somewhere there, either by a buffer overrun or by calling delete on memory allocated with new[]

I am trying to create an install program to run on the desktop that installs the cab file automaticaly into the pocket pc. If I manually put the cab file into the pocket PC then the program runs fine. But when I try to make an install using ezsetup 2.0 I get this error

 My_Test does not support the connected device typ. Application Manager will make the application available for installation when the supported device type is connected.

This is what I have in the .ini file

[CEAppManager]<br />
Version      = 1.0<br />
Component    = My Application<br />
<br />
[My Application]<br />
Description  = My test application<br />
Uninstall    = Rod's PCS TEST<br />
CabFiles     = My_Test.cab<br />

Can anyone see what is wrong? I I am trying to install it to a toshiba pocket pc E310. As I said if I manually put in the My_test.arm.cab file into the PPC It works fine. HELP PLEASE!!

Thanks alot guys,
Rodney

I'm not sure how ezsetup 2.0 works, but the .ini file that CE App Manager is the same that is generated by the steps in the MSDN article for this subject at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/netcfdeployment.asp.

Having just finished creating one of these my guess for you is that you need to generate Cab files for multiple files processors and reference those in your .ini file. The steps for creating those files is referenced under the "BuildCab.bat" section and who to list them in the .ini is under the "Setup.ini File" section of the MSDN Article above.

FYI, here is what the setup.ini for my setup looks like:

<br />
[CEAppManager]<br />
Version      = 1.0<br />
Component    = App<br />
<br />
[App]<br />
Description  = ToDoList Viewer 1.3.0.<br />
CabFiles     = ToDoListViewer_PPC.X86.CAB,ToDoListViewer_PPC.ARM.CAB,ToDoListViewer_PPC.ARMV4.CAB,ToDoListViewer_PPC.MIPS.CAB,ToDoListViewer_PPC.SH3.CAB,ToDoListViewer_PPC.WCE420X86.CAB<br />
<br />

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Kyle

What are you using to compile the programs for the ARMV4,MIPS,SH3,WCE420X86 formats, I am using the Embedded Visual C++ 3.0 and I can only find options for compiling for the .ARM and for the .x86 platforms. Is there something that I have to change or is that all that is available in the 3.0 version?

Thanks Kyle for the feedback.

Let me start of by saying that I am using C# .NET Compact Framework.

I am using the Cab Wizard that is part of the Windows Mobile SDK 2003. It appears that this particular SDK is for EVC++ 4.0 and VS.NET 2003. There may be a version of the Cab Wizard that will work with your version of EVC or you may be able to update to EVC++ 4 (see the link on SDK page).

I apologize if this doesn't help you at all.

Thanks again,
Kyle

1., In resource editor|Push Button Properties|Styles tab
check in: "Owner draw"

2., In dialog message handler insert this branch:
switch (message)
{
case WM_DRAWITEM:
idCtl = (UINT) wParam;
if(idCtl == IDC_BUTTON)
DrawFancyButton
(
(LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT) lParam,
hDlg,
IDC_BUTTON,
IDB_BITMAP_NORMAL,
IDB_BITMAP_PRESSED
);
return TRUE;
...
3., Implement DrawFancyButton:
void DrawFancyButton(LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT lpdis, HWND hDlg, int idCtl, int iNormalBmp, int iPressedBmp)
{
TCHAR ButtonText[64];
HBITMAP BitMap;
RECT ButtRect;
int UpSideColor, DownSideColor;

HDC hdcBmp = CreateCompatibleDC(NULL);

if(!(lpdis->itemState & ODS_SELECTED)) // Draw Pushed
{
BitMap = LoadBitmap( g_hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(iNormalBmp));
UpSideColor=196, DownSideColor=0;
}
else // Laposat rajzolok
{
BitMap = LoadBitmap( g_hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(iPressedBmp));
UpSideColor=0, DownSideColor=196;
}

SelectObject(hdcBmp, BitMap);
BITMAP bm;
GetObject(BitMap, sizeof(bm), &bm);

StretchBlt
(
lpdis->hDC,
lpdis->rcItem.left,
lpdis->rcItem.top,
lpdis->rcItem.right - lpdis->rcItem.left,

hdcBmp,
0,
0,
bm.bmWidth,
bm.bmHeight,
SRCCOPY
);
DeleteDC(hdcBmp);
if(1) // We want original text also
{
SetBkMode(lpdis->hDC,TRANSPARENT);
GetDlgItemText(hDlg,idCtl,ButtonText,64);
ButtRect = lpdis->rcItem;

SetTextColor(lpdis->hDC,RGB(UpSideColor, UpSideColor, UpSideColor));
DrawText(lpdis->hDC,ButtonText,-1,&ButtRect,DT_NOCLIP|DT_CENTER|DT_VCENTER);
ButtRect.bottom--; ButtRect.left--; ButtRect.right--; ButtRect.top--;

Add/Remove Network connections (Help!!!!)

Anyone know how to add/remove network connections programatically from WinCE (C# & Compact framework). I think that I need to use the WNet functions but not sure how? Confused | :confused:

I have the following code:-

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct NETRESOURCEA
{
public int dwScope;
public int dwType;
public int dwDisplayType;
public int dwUsage;
public string lpLocalName;
public string lpRemoteName;
public string lpComment;
public string lpProvider;

}

class CMyTest
{
[DllImport("core.dll")] // Not sure if this is correct
public static extern int WNetAddConnection3(
NETRESOURCEA[] lpNetResource,
string lpPassword,
string UserName,
int dwFlags);

public static void Main(String[] args)
{
NETRESOURCEA [] n = new NETRESOURCEA[1];
n[0] = new NETRESOURCEA();
n[0].dwType = 1;
int dwFlags = 1;
n[0].lpLocalName = @"LocalName";
n[0].lpRemoteName = @"\\Server01\Share01";
n[0].lpProvider = null;
Console.WriteLine(n[0]);
int res = 0;
try
{
res = WNetAddConnection3( n, null, null, dwFlags );
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex);
}
Console.WriteLine("WNetAddConnection3 returned : " + res);
Console.WriteLine(n[0]);
}
}

Any Help would be appreciated

P/Invoke on the Compact Framework is severely cut down. It doesn't support marshalling a structure containing strings, as NETRESOURCEA requires (aside: you need a NETRESOURCEW on Windows CE).

You will need to marshal the data to a compatible byte array. For tips on how to do this, see Advanced P/Invoke on the .NET Compact Framework[^].

InputPanel Blues

2-Mar-04 10:44

I am writing a WindowsCE/Pocket PC application and need to enable/disable the InputPanel for text fields during GotFocus/LostFocus. Obviously, I can't just drop an InputPanel object on the form if this app is to be used for Windows CE as well. So, to enable/disable the InputPanle object, I wrote the following code:

private sub setSIPDisplay()
{
if ( ipInput != null )
ipInput.Enabled = !ipInput.Enabled;

}

Now, it works fine until the user closes the form while the InputPanel is still enabled. Then I get an error. I placed the "dangerous code" in a try-catch block (on the assignment statement above) and I get the ever helpful and descriptive exception of "Exception". I am sure it has to do with the InputPanel being orphaned somehow, but I haven't figured out why.

Any thoughts on how I can a) fix this error or b) get a better exception description so I can learn more.

Thanks

Hello all,
I am not able to compile my program which uses #import "msxml3.dll" using eVC 4.0. It gives a error C2065: '_com_dispatch_method' : undeclared identifier error. Can anyone provide me with some dummy implementation of the same function to be included in the code to make it work fine ?
Previously I was getting the same error for _com_issue_error which I resolved by downloading a library as mentioned http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/_com_issue_error.html here.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
