    - Deploment Path for debugging The main point is, that I want to set the deployment path for a project so that I don't need write access to the project properties. Actually, I could use a system environment variable, which is added to the project settings and each user could set it independently. But then one might need different settings for different project, which means that there must be a system environment variable for each project. It could also depend on the actual device. Therefore the number of environment variable needed would be rather large. This is not very comfortable. It seems that I could set a path in the device option dialog, where I can select from a list of predefined paths, like "Program Files", "Windows", "Root". This would be fine, but this setting had no effect. I suppose there is kind of a VS 2005 environment variable, which contains this setting. However, I wasn't able to figure the name of this variable. Otherwise I could use this variable in the project properties. Regards, Andre Tag: Smart Devices Native C++ Development system info on smartphones Smart Device Development

    - Square-Screen support and still have Device Orientation Awareness ?! Ok, as nobody seems to know an easy way of how to implement this i have done it the hard way: Created a CDialogEx, which checks for SquareScreen devices in the OnInitDialog function and then adds a scrollbar to the right side. All my dialogs that are not square screen capable are now derived from CDialogEx. Fortunately i found this nice article, which does almost what i needed: http://www.codeproject.com/ce/ScrollPropPage_PPC2K2.asp I am pretty sure there must be a much easier way to get the same result, but at least it's working.

    - Winsock API, Emulator and ActiveSync The simple problem is, even if I do not use the NE2000 networking ActiveSync alone seems not to be capable of handling this. I was hoping that there are some tweaks I could do to get it running though. If you want I can provide some sample-code which fails on only ActiveSync usage.

    - File upload with Sidebar Gadget Unfortunately, for security reasons, it's virtually impossible to manipulate the local filesystem using JavaScript. The other way to do this is to have a hidden iframe to do the uploading/posting - but something tells me that the gadget is going to throw that post into a new IE browser instance (which drives me insane :) Can you think of any workaround Thanks!

    - Gadget Remove issue Hi Chris, I need to stop the media player if its already running when the user removes the gadget. For doing this i think i will need to use the remove or the unload event as u suggested. I tried the unload even as follows.. but when i remove the unload event is not invoked.. This even is invoked when i close the browser. or browse from that page. But i want to catch the remove module event.. this .Output = function () { var currWindow = window; currWindow.attachEvent( "onbeforeunload" ,fnWindowOnUnload); //currWindow.onunload = fnWindowOnUnload; } function fnWindowOnUnload(){ var objMedia; objMedia = document.getElementById( "media1" ); objMedia.controls.stop(); alert( "Current. Window Unloaded" ); } I browsed thro. the js files and i found one event named " onModuleRemovedEvent " But how do i handle this event.. Thanx.. Bharat T.

    - Remotely triggering events on device Hi, I would like to develop a Windows Mobile application that will need to synchronize with a server in near real time (up to 1 second). The device is connected to the network. I taught about using a constant TCP/IP link between the device and the server but I heard that there might be some problems with that: - It consumes the battery. - The IP of the device might change. Does anyone has experience with that The second approach is that the server will somehow activate a trigger in the device and the device will open open a connection to the server, is this possible Thanks, Avi Golan.

    - Gadget behavior on spaces vs live.com? Thank you Todd0s! I do use the random link, however even with the random link spaces seems to cache the rss feed. I suppose I could get rid of this all together as long as I let the user know that once they refresh they will see the updated feed. Just thought is was weird that spaces did not update the content like I expected it to. As for the xml and xpath I am not too familiar:) The one thing about css that really surprised me on live.com was my borders which are specific colors get overridden although they show exactly as I pictured on Spaces. Thanks again for the feedback, I really appreciate it! Tag: Smart Devices Native C++ Development system info on smartphones Smart Device Development

    - Sending value to a webpage textbox via WebBrowser1 control Is there any way to take values that i enter on the VB form textbox and send them to the textbox on the webpage that i make I use mySQL for my database and of course theres no good solution for mySQL on the pocket pc so i had to find other ways to do it and i figured that making a few buttons to at values to the textbox on the form and then send them over to the correct textboxes on the web page and submitting it would work just as well.

    - Sidebar Gadget Development tools I use Dreamweaver (though not really through choice as it's the only web design tool I have atm :)) and Photoshop/Paint Shop Pro. The main problem I have with Dreamweaver is that it sometimes likes to do things for you, usually when you don't want it to. It would be nice if there was a way to preview a Gadget without having to load it into the sidebar, too. Unfortunately the System.* object won't work in IE, otherwise the preview would be possible. I might try Expression Web and see what that's like, though... Andy Tag: Smart Devices Native C++ Development system info on smartphones Smart Device Development

    - which version of DirectX is supported by the .Net compact framework 2.0(i.e windows CE 5.0). Hi, Here's some links to help get you started. As mentioned above you can get transparency without having to resort to DirectX by PInvoking the AlphaBlend function. Details and some examples of this can be found in the following thread (I encourage you to have a look at the example in Alex's blog). http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1557544&SiteID=1 DirectX has a managed wrapper, within the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK you can find some samples of using this. The following MSDN page contains a list of DirectDraw and DirectShow examples about halfway down the page along with details of how to access them - http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms879577.aspx Hope this helps, Christopher Fairbairn Tag: Smart Devices Native C++ Development system info on smartphones Smart Device Development

    - Astoria.Client futures? On a quick look it seems as if the client library doesn't require WCF, i.e. .NET 3.0.+, with just plain 2.0 System.Net.HttpWebResponse/Resquest(!) used. Is that the longer term plan (it's ok to guess :-) Plus, as well as a JSON serializer/deseriler, an object statemanager and a nice wrapper over the GET/POST calls, what would I lose if we don't use the client side library Is the longer term strategy to keep the Astoria client/service as some that should be always be used together or is it ok to 'go naked' on the client and just use the service side wrangling David Tag: Smart Devices Native C++ Development system info on smartphones Smart Device Development

    - Disable start-button to get into kiosk Hi Michael, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I already did that. The result was that the taskbar was still visible however the system crashed when I was pressing the windows button around three times in a row. Therefor I hoped to get a few lines. By now I tried a different approach. I tried to access the buttons with some classes I found here http://www.opennetcf.org/forums/topic.asp TOPIC_ID=283 The problem is that this program works fine for most of the buttons - just not for the windows /start button. So I digged a little deeper and I found out that the windows button is not within the registry (at least not where the other three buttons are). So if you have any good idea that might help me with that problem - I am anxious to try it out. Thank you very much for your support I also worked on the SHFullScreen Solution - however it doesn't work out for me. Its not crashing anymore (this was due to the HideTaskbar function, which I deleted), however when I try my code it the taskbar is always up to the very front of the application and I don't know why. Therefor I posted my application in the next thread. Please have a glance at it - I just have no clue where the mistake might be. Thank you very much. Keep up the good work Greetings Taggert Tag: Smart Devices Native C++ Development system info on smartphones Smart Device Development

Windows Mobile 5 doesn't have the .Net Compact Framework installed by default, which is required on the device in order to run the custom application.

Afterglow

Hello,

I am looking to write a small monitoring application that can provide system information such as: battery, cpu load, free memory, free disk, network bandwidth usage (bytes in and out) etc.

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction, in terms of APIs.

Thank you.

Re: Smart Devices Native C++ Development system info on smartphones

Saravanan V V

Hi
You can use the following apis to collect the below details.

Battery - GetSystemPowerStatusEx2()
Memory - GlobalMemoryStatus()

Re: Smart Devices Native C++ Development system info on smartphones

Zero Dai - MSFT

Hi Afterglow,

In addition to the Saravanan's suggestion,

For free disk: GetDiskFreeSpaceEx

For CPU load: We cannot get the information of it directly, you need to write your own code to implement it with GetSystemTimes() and GetProcessTimes(). You may like to read the following article from Code Project: http://www.codeproject.com/threads/Get_CPU_Usage.asp df=100&forumid=136773&exp=0&select=1564225
