You'll need to download Embedded Visual C++ (EVC++) from Microsoft's website (or find the MSDN CD's with it on).
You can use the CE version of MFC to write Pocket PC applications from within EVC++ (there's a Pocket PC MFC Appwizard to help get you started too).
There are some differences between the CE and Desktop versions of MFC, but nothing too major for most applications.

Hi,
In My application i have to read settings
from some "xx.INI" file.
I am using WCEApplication.
please help me how can i read .INI file.
for this I searched for "GetProfileString" and "SetProfileString"
but i didn't get any help related to me.
(most material available on CWinApp::GetProfileString etc)
but i need these functionality in Win32.
Thank You.![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Hi anju!
I use the Win32 API functions RegOpenKeyEx and RegQueryValueEx to read the IRDA port index from the registry and it works fine!
UINT CIrdaPort::FindPortIndex()
{
HKEY hKey = NULL;
if (RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, _T("Drivers\\BuiltIn\\IrCOMM"), 0, 0, &hKey) == ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
DWORD dwType = 0;
DWORD dwData = 0;
DWORD dwSize = sizeof(dwData);
if (RegQueryValueEx(hKey, _T("Index"), NULL, &dwType, (LPBYTE) &dwData, &dwSize) == ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
if (dwType == REG_DWORD && dwSize == sizeof(dwData))
{
RegCloseKey(hKey);
return (UINT) dwData;
}
}
RegCloseKey(hKey);
}
return 0;
}
Just take a look on my Pocket PC application Infrared Communication with your Mobile Phone.
I hope this will help you!

Hi Daniel,
Thank You for your reply.
your idea is nice when we use registry for settings..
But my aim is to read INI file.because i have to put
lot of information in file and read when ever necessary.
This information is in structure wise.
eg:
struct Employee
{
Name,
ID,
dept,
salay,
age,
DOB
}
I have to fill this data when ever user given to me and write to file.
and i have to get back it when ever necessary to me from file.
please give me good idea.
Once again thanks to you.
regards
anju

Hi, Daniel
---Did the GetProfileString API function don't work on your system?
I am aware of GetProfileString.
In Win32Application programming i am using GetProfileString as follows
TCHAR strRetn[100];
GetProfileString("Aloap","Timer",NULL,strRetn,100);
//Aloap is section and //Timer is Key and \\strRetn is value
MessageBox(hDlg,strRetn,strRetn,0);
by default the GetProfileString function lookint Win.ini file
My need is...
I have to use same function in Win32CE Application Programming.
and also i have to read section values my own INI file instead of
win.INI.
I hope now my need is clear to you
please help me in this context
thank you.
regards.

<br />
TCHAR szReturn[1024];<br />
<br />
GetPrivateProfileString(_T("YourSection"),<br />
_T("YourKey"),<br />
_T("YourDefault"),<br />
szReturn,<br />
sizeof(szReturn) / sizeof(TCHAR),<br />
_T("YourPath\YourIniFile.ini"));<br />
<br />
AfxMessageBox(szReturn);<br />
This API function is to read some values from a user defined INI file.
Just take a look on the MSDN documentation of the GetPrivateProfileString API function.
<br />
DWORD GetPrivateProfileString(<br />
LPCTSTR lpAppName,
LPCTSTR lpKeyName,
LPCTSTR lpDefault,
LPTSTR lpReturnedString,
DWORD nSize,
LPCTSTR lpFileName
);<br />
There are some things you have to attention:
lpDefault
[in] Pointer to a null-terminated default string. If the lpKeyName key cannot be found in the initialization file, GetPrivateProfileString copies the default string to the lpReturnedString buffer. This parameter cannot be NULL.
lpFileName
[in] Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the initialization file. If this parameter does not contain a full path to the file, the system searches for the file in the Windows directory.

Oh...  Sorry, I found out that the GetPrivateProfileString API function are not supported by the Windows CE system. It only works on the desktop Windows systems.
I think you should use some of the open source INI file parsers, like the INI Parser Library at Sourceforge.
I hope this library will help you! It's a simple ANSI C parser for INI files. Just add it to your project and try it!

Hello,
Try to use the registry.
Use the following registry functions:
RegCreateKeyEx
RegOpenKeyEx
RegCloseKey
RegDeleteValue
RegQueryValueEx
RegSetValueEx
RegEnumKeyEx

Is there any COM-Interface (or something else) to add a name to the list of contacts of my Pocket PC.
I am working with eVC 3.0 and Pocket PC 2002.

Check ou the POOM (Pocket Outlook Object Model). There's a good reference of it in "Windows CE 3.0 Application Programming" by Nick Grattan and Marshall Brain (PH). Or MSDN...

Maybe this code might help
Desc:
is a sample demonstrating using the Pocket Outlook Object mode (via COM interop). The application lets you view all of the contacts on your Pocket PC, add new ones, and delete existing ones. It consists of a managed application built on top of the .NET Compact Framework and a native DLL written in C++ using eMbedded Visual C++ 3.0. The source for both the managed and native components is provided. Written in C#

Hi,
I was wandering if you can run a Multimedia Title (like a multimedia application of a cd-rom) to a palmtop.
Is this possible?
What hardware and software do you need in order to accomplise that?
Thanks for your help

I'm writing a dll with support functions for FTP upload,download on Pocket PC. I'm using WinInet, but I'm a little confused about implementing async Wininet FTP download and uploads and about this whole async terminology.
I have a CInternetSession derived class where I'm handling status callbacks, but since there are no MFC CFtpConnection, CFtpFileFind and stuff for PocketPC.
So without MFC, to make a connection I first call InternetOpen() with INTERNET_FLAG_ASYNC, use InternetSetStatusCallback to set the implemented callback. Once the request is processed,then I use FtpOpenFile() and update percent downloaded/uploaded with calls to InternetReadFile() and InternetWriteFile(). So is this async WinInet (FTP) or synchronous(blocking)?
How do I async read and write too? I'm confused. Pleas point me to some relevant links/code is possible.
Thanks for any help.

Hi
My own code is a dll includes dialog box,written based on Win32 API(For WinCE).
I plan to attached a command bar when Dialog shown,but it doesn't work.
Why SHCreateMenuBar(&mbi) always return a NULL?
HINSTANCE hInst=NULL;
BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HANDLE hModule,
DWORD ul_reason_for_call,
LPVOID lpReserved
)
{
hInst = (HINSTANCE) hModule;
return TRUE;
}
HWND MyCreateRpCommandBar(HWND hwnd)
{
SHMENUBARINFO mbi;
memset(&mbi, 0, sizeof(SHMENUBARINFO));
mbi.cbSize = sizeof(SHMENUBARINFO);
mbi.hwndParent = hwnd; //HWND of dialog
mbi.nToolBarId = IDR_SIV_MENUBAR;
mbi.hInstRes = hInst; //HINSTANCE of dll
mbi.nBmpId = 0;
mbi.cBmpImages = 0;
if (!SHCreateMenuBar(&mbi)) //Command bar was dead here!!!
return NULL;
return mbi.hwndMB;
}
BOOL CALLBACK DlgProc(HWND hDlg, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
static HWND hwndCB=NULL;
switch (message)
{
case WM_INITDIALOG:
hwndCB=MyCreateRpCommandBar(hDlg);
return TRUE;
case WM_DESTROY:
CommandBar_Destroy(hwndCB);
return TRUE;
}
return FALSE;
}

hi there all
i would like some guidance on the following: how to program pocketpc's. i am not really sure where to begin, or what SDK to get, but the handheld i am thinking of starting with is a Compaq iPAQ, i assume it is running WinCE 3.0. i have found an SDK on msdn.microsoft.com, the Embedded VC++ and VB kit, which is about 300MB. is this what i am looking for, and is it worth my while to download?
thanks

Broadband? whats that?  at the moment i am living out of town, so no cable or broadband is available. i used to at least have ISDN, but since the modem gave it up, i am sitting with 56k  anyway, hopefully that will change soon, otherwise i would have tried it.
