I have a request to make, i have a older program i want to be using but it doesnt fit on wide screen monitors. its a very basic program and i was hoping somebody with some programming skills would be able to change its window size/resolution to fit non-square monitors? if interested i can provide the .exe file.

This is my first post, so to all of you out there, my name is Joe and I have been following this forum since I decided on buying an ATT Tilt (Kaiser) and you all have been a tremendous help in a lot of decisions I made with my phone.
Now onto the question at hand, I have some programming knowledge in the world of computers (C++, VB, etc...) but I was wondering the differences in trying to make a program for my phone. If someone can direct me to maybe a tutorial or another post that might help me, please do (I looked but couldn't find anything), I would like to start giving back to the forum that helped me out.
There isn't much difference between C++ and VB in general, just some prefer the less strict 'grammar' in VB and some prefer the clear 'grammar' in C++. Speed wise, if you were to be using M$'s classes, both ought to be the same, while if you were to write in pure C++ native language, C ought to be better compiled.
Another alternative would be the .Net thing. If I'm right (haven't been really using one), is a class package for both VB and C+ which seemingly make it easier to program.
Depends on what you have (i.e. the programming software), if you were to have Visual Studio 2003+ (or later, no sure), you can download the WM6 SDK, which includes tutorial on how to get started.
Well what I have on hand right now...nothing at all...I'm at work at the moment and in my freetime here would like to work on a few things, I've been analyzing some other pieces of software since I posted this and noticed the use of XML files for the setup.
I have no preference in what language I use (hell one I don't know yet would work for me...knowledge is a blessing in IT). Just wish to be able to take some of the programs I use at the moment (ex HTC Home, BatteryStatus) add a little more functionality for my own personal use since I really don't feel like copyright lawsuits.
Basically Hanmin, I guess it just boils down to what would you suggest to use with the available "tools" at hand or suggestions, I'm up for anything, new to this game, I figured I would get wisdom from the pros here to make myself useful in my downtime
"There isn't much difference between C++ and VB in general," - now there's a statement to launch a major debate! But I'll resist the temptation and move on to a more constructive response - PPL. PPL (Pocket Programming Language) is a great little package which gives you an IDE for developing pocket pc apps in a C like language on either the pocket pc itself or on a pc.

Hi,
I'm learning some C# for PC Pocket and Smartphones, and as an owner of a HTC Diamond, I would like to use the GSensor. I downloaded the Sensors.zip released around, but it's confusing to me. Most of the code is written to draw and control the ball, and it makes it so confusing.
I'd like to know the steps i must take to make a project using the GSensor: how to include the dll, how to load the functions...
I can undertand how the GVectors work, i just have another trouble: I am acostumed to lineal programming, not based in events, so i can't thinks in a different way to do this but:
while(true){
here we look the status of the Gvector and do something
}
BUt this kind of programming isn't working with event programming, because the program wouldn't load. Any idea?
Thanks!
Right, I had an HTC artemis before my HTC Diamond, and I went out and baught one of
those nifty little W100 remotes. As you'll all know by now (or at least you should do) that
they only work for windows media player, and are not mappable. I want to change this!
Now, i've had a look around the file system, and in the registry, and I've found some things
that i'm curious about...
h2w_accessory.dll seems to be referenced as an active device/driver, and this seems to
be the only thing that could be remotely related to the remote. There has to be some kind
it "middle man" to open WMP and pass it the commands, and I want to gain access into it,
to break it open and generate button press events...
I have tried to access all of the serial ports by writing a small program, to see if the remote
communicated via a simple serial interface, but this yeilded no results. I have listened for
button events system wide, also via a simple program I made, but this also yeilded nothing
useful.
Does anyone know anything more about the inner workings of this remote control's drivers,
and would like to try and help make a solution, hopefully for ALL HTC devices.
I hope we can all finally get our heads down and crack open this remote for the good of
the community, and finally show HTC how to make a remote control useful for more of the
Windows Mobile population...
Hello,
I've been wanting to write some small hacks for my TouchPro in C# and noticed a problem with it - WM has a limit of processes so writing many small apps doesn't make sense and it's not possible to register a C# library as a service.
Has anyone created an application that reads some config file and loads all DLLs defined there? It's easy to do, but I don't want to reinvent to wheel if it's already done.
Does anyone know if such a tool exists?
Thank you.
Hi,
I have an easy question...^^
How can I program programs for my phone?
Is there anywhere a tutorial or something like that?
Or are all of you just very high skilled programmer?
I'm very interested in programming, but I only handl Java and php..
I hope someone of you can explain me where I can learn this =)
Greetings
Chris
PS:I hope I posted this in the right section...^^
PPS: I'm from Germany so I'm sorry for any mistake in my sentences and I hope there is also a German programmer who can show me a tutorial on German, but English is also OK.
I asked this question a few months back and no one helped. Here is what I have been able to find on my own:
To program for your Windows Mobile device you need Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Standard edition or later. That is an expensive development program. If you buy that program, you can download a Windows Mobile plugin for free that includes an emulator for debugging.
I personally refuse to shell out tons of cash for the ability to program for my phone for personal use. I have not been able to locate anywhere on the internet even the slightest hint of a way that I can write a program for my phone with open source or free software. I use notepad++ and g++ for my coding needs so I was really hoping for a way to program using only these tools with perhaps an additional library.
Speaking of libraries, open gl es is open gl for embedded devices such as your Raphael. I have been unable to find an open gl es tutorial that does not involve buying Visual Studio.
If anyone can find anything else, please post here.
I've used C# and C\C++ to write programs for Pocket PC\Windows Mobile. Java I believe you can use with limited functionality (not the same as on the web). Php is a web langange I believe??
Are you using C++ via Microsoft Visual Studio, or do you know how to compile mobile programs without dropping money in Microsoft's bank?
@Chunkyeggfoo
I know that php is for the web
I only wanted to show, that im not a totally noob in programming ^^
But my question was: Where do you learned this? Did you have an online tutorial, or from school? Or somewhere else...from a book maybe?
Here is one answer to the question.

I have never followed this guide because I use Visual Studio 2008. I started programming using visual basic .net (VERY EASY TO LEARN). Later, I wanted to write applications for the today screen and I needed to learn C++ and the win32 API. (NOT FUN!!!) The good news is that I have several programs that I use on my today screen including weather, calendar, battery monitor, task switcher, music player and an alarm. It has taken me about a year to become pretty proficient. NOTE: when you move from managed code (.net framework) to unmannaged code (C++, win32) you have to be VERY careful to properly manage device memory or you will end up with memory leaks.
I've attached a picture of my today screen to illustrate the possibilities.
Have fun

You can also download evc4 and the evc4.sp4 from the following links.

This will be a very powerful tool but probably very hard to learn too...
Check out this thread. It has lots of info.

You can take a C++ programming class at most community colleges (not state or UC, ie very expensive). im currently taking the pre req that will allow me to take it next semester.
I think,the simpliest way is the Basic4PPC(Basic for PocketPC). Use Google and search for it.
programming
i guess the best way is learn C#, i'm a visual basic programmer and the best app you can do with it is database app, if you want to do more powerful app for your phone is better to learn C#
i'm learning c# right now
try these two
