I would like a program that can do the following:
The main purpose is that the program should be 100% automatic and will after a easy configuration be left alone and handle GPRS to be online whenever there are GSM/GPRS available.
* Create a connection (in system/connection) automaticly from a file or something.
* With the created connection above, the program should automaticly connect. From suspend mode and after a soft reset.
Anyone knows a good program that can do this or a great programmer that can supply features like the above (and more).
Best regards
Zomen
advise
1. use ConnMgrEstablish to establish GPRS connection
2. Create a hide window to received message when the connection status changing.
3. soft reboot issue: writting a service to these or config the target device to run your app at startup time.
4. active device on suspended state mode: try API CeSetUserNotification
Hi Zomen,
I think you will need to look at Connection Manager API. It handles all low level connections on the device, including GPRS. It can be found here -
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...s/apippc/html/ppc_cnmn_connection_manager.asp
And here is an example -

Cheers,
Dav
Thank you for the answers but how about using RAS to make the connection?
And remember that the purpose of the application is to work on a Mobile 5 device.

hi,
Hmm, I think it should be ok to work on Mobile 5, but I have only been using 4.21 so cant be sure. However, there is a helper sample which comes with Embedded Visual C++ 4. If you have EVC4 You can find it here -
C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce420\POCKET PC 2003\Samples\Mfc\Cmhelper
And there is further information here about the sample here -
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...s/guide_ppc/html/ppc_about_cmhelpersample.asp
You can use the sample to build a GPRS connection exe which will handle GPRS connections for you. At least on 4.21, havent tried on Mobile 5.
Cheers

How can I programatically initiate a GPRS connection on an XDA (using EVB)?. I have a program which works when the connection is up (started using explorer) but fails when down. Would I do it using the TAPI?

I think you should have a look at the Connection Manager API.
I don't have any EVB sample code for you, but take a look at the PocketPC 2002 SDK sample CMHELPER usualy found at this path if you have eVC and the SDK installed:
C:\Windows CE Tools\wce300\Pocket PC 2002\samples\mfc\CMHELPER
BTW, you can download the SDK from www.pocketpc.com ...
here is the solution
I also was lookinf for this solution forever and never found it so i wrote the software myself. Here is the dll that you need to connect to the internet through evb it connects to the default connection no problems.

Not knowing anything about C++, is there a simple way to open a GPRS connection with just eVB?
danmanmayer, can you send me the sources?
Or maybe somebody knows URL where can I found info about it?
Thanks in advance
SapphireRAS does all this and more.
Connects/Disconnects via GPRS using eVB or VB.Net
Create and manages connections, locations etc.

Hello,
I am a Java programmer, usually on PC, lately on PDA using Jeode JVM on iPAQ, and yesterday I implemented my program on XDA (QTek 1010).
My problem is that the GPRS doesn't load automatically like it does on iPAQ with AirCard modem - you have to connect manually using Start -> settings -> connections -> connections -> connect.
Also, when you use the phone, the GPRS is disconnected, and you have to go through this long path again.
I have downloaded the SDK (60MB), but I don't know how to operate it...
I'm sure it's just a simple one line function call, so if someone has a link, wrote, or can make me a program that just connects to the GPRS and that's all, I'll be very thankful...
Alternatively, please instruct me on how to use the SDK and I'll create it myself.
Thanks in advance,

I wana use V.110 9600....
I think I must use lineSetDevConfig(...)
but this function always return 0 and do nothing
Can you pass some source codes?
I wrote a DLL in eVC that makes a Tapi datamodem call and then called it from a simple eVB program just to show what functions it contained.
Have a look at the code for the DLL and you will see how I made a datamodem connection using TAPI.
No...No..No..
I know it all
FROM http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ry/en-us/APISP/html/sp_tsp_cellbeararinfo.asp
"9,600 bps (V.32 compression setting)
Note This value is the standard setting used for 9,600 bps circuit switched data calls."
IN TEORY
I can select V.34 or V.110
IN DOWN OF PAGE
"An application may use lineGetDevConfig to determine the current settings."
...and I think I can use lineGetDevConfig and lineSetDevConfig
...but how?
Hello,
many thanks for the source code!!!javascript:emoticon(':wink:')

I want to use the XDA for internet access via my laptop. With the new Rom version a programm WMODEM is delivered with the device. But with WMODEM there is only a GPRS connection possible.javascript:emoticon('')
javascript:emoticon('')
So I am searching for a programm like WMODEM which makes ist possible to use the XDA as a modem with which a can dial numbers via ATD...
Is this possible?
If yes where ?
Hi,
I am trying to develop an application with both PC and Pocket PC components.
The PC and PPC need to exchange data whilst the PPC (eg XDA) has an active GPRS connection.
I first tried using evc and RAPI to allow the PC and PPC components to talk to each other. However RAPI relies on ActiveSync and it seems you cant have an ActiveSync connection to the PC (eg over USB) at the same time as a GPRS connection.
So
1)Am I right that ActiveSync at same time as GPRS is impossible? (And hence RAPI...)
2)What is the easiest way to do PC<->PPC comms without ActiveSync, on the widest variety of PPC devices?
3)Is there a way to do this without writing PC and PPC sides for all of
i) Bluetooth
ii) USB
iii) Serial
It seems like a lot of hardwork to reimplement all these, but some models have BT, some only USB etc etc
Any help appreciated...
Regards,
Giles.
hey,
im also trying to write some client -> server software for my mda/pc. Ive managed to narrow it down to two technologies (excluding activesync cos it needs to be portable)
- Web Services
- Client Server Model (tcpclient and tcplistener)
webservices are good as they will run on any net connection with port80 open, pretty fast and versetile but have some bad flaws. u need some back end data store (like a mysql database) as data is not persistant on then... also u cannot "push" from the server to the device (this may or may not be an issue)
the tcpclient model is starting to appeal to me in a number of ways. u can define your own light-weight protol (SOAP has a nasty habbit of bulking the objects out and GPRS costs!)... i started to write some little test apps and so far its looking good. Ive wrote a very tiny server that runs on windows and has a thin client running a threaded tcplistener and a mysql backend datastore. The test mobie simply constructs a tcpclient object and writes a string "hello world" to the port, which the server picks up and displays in a messagebox... so far this concept is working really well, and i have more control over the serialisation and communication of the objects and types.
i hope ive helped u in some way hehe
Will
I want to make a connection to a server either via GPRS or via Activesync when cradled.
I used to use the API call RasDial on an old Windows CE 3.0 programme but this does not appear to make a connection under WM5 and fails to dial up a GPRS connection. It opens the port, etc but fails to dial.
Is there a simpler way to make a connection? Do I simply try to open a TCP/IP connection and the OS does it for me?
Any and all ideas appreciated!!
Dave...
Use Pocket PC connection manager API to make
a GPRS connection. That is the PPC way. RAS API
can be used but connection manager is better for
some things.

Thanks. I found a sample of how to do this in the SDK so I will modify my code to use this instead and see if it all works.
