Has anyone compiled the sample application SMSIM in WM5 SDK? I have not installed the dev tools yet to do this myself. I was hoping someone may have already done this. I loooking so much to a chat style sms client.
Thank You

Hi all,
Generaly, I am Symbian programmer but i will have a look at Pocket PC side... so I am not bloody beginner :wink:
Jep.. I wrote/clicked a C# application with .Net 2003 (very comfortably!!). I saw fast that I have to use C++ to reach interesting APIs.
I know its possible to call (C++) DLL from C# so I can let the frontend in easy C# and can use C++ to get more functionality.
Other than for C#, I couldn't find a "Smart Device" template for C++ in .Net 2003! Someone can tell me, which kind of template I have to use for programming a PocketPC C++ DLL? Is it in .Net 2005?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I thin VS.NET 2003 can only produce managed and x86 native code, so writing for the arm platform was not build in. Your solution would be to use Embedded Visual C++4 which is available free from Microsoft, or to answer your second question I *think* VS.NET 2005 does include the ability to write unmanaged code for smart devices.

Hi Paul,
Thank for your fast answer! I found it in ".Net 2005" and first DLL-prototypes running!
Now I have some other problems concerning callbacks from native unmanaged DLLs, but I will create a new topic about it.
Thanks a lot!

Dear All,
I currently have a genetic algorithm which is coded in C,C++,VB,Java and Fortran. I am running a DAQ (data acquisition software) which captures the vibration signals and saves it as a txt doc. What i would like to do is then take this data and post-process it using the genetic algorithm. How can i implement this using my Universal? Somesort of an interface software that i can download to my Universal so that it then imports the .txt files and runs the neccessary sequences and displays the results.
Any advise is greatly appreciated,
with my best regards,
Ravi
looking for a IDE to developer such an application
or a compiler for the pocketpc
if first you can get embedded visual studio or
just visual studio 2003 or 2005 if you want c#
if you want a compiler for the pocketpc you can get
a c# compiler for pocketpc
or a c++ compiler ggc
Thanks for the input
Hi Rudegar,
Once again...you have come to my aid : ) Thanks alot for the suggestions. I will check up on it. Will give you a shout if i am unclear about it....hope its ok with you..
Once again many thanks for your suggestions
regards,

Hi chaps,
I've just got myself an O2 XDA Orbit - great device, and now I'm looking for developing for it - just simple things at first, like a Blackjack game, or a simple Today feature with the sun and moon times on it; this sort of thing.
I've got Visual Studio .NET 2003, but I see that in order to program the latest devices, you need VS 2005 (?). So, I've downloaded Embedded Visual Studio C++ v4 with all the SDK's and I'm hoping to develop for an earlier version of Windows Mobile, and hope that it works.
So while I've got all that, I'm now stuck as to where to start! Can anyone point me to a good book, or something online which will help me through a simple CE application? How you do get the Today screen working, for example? I realise that this might be asking a lot, but a couple of pointers would be great - if you could!
Many thanks,
MrP.
I'm just starting out myself with windows mobile programming. You can find a lot of info from msdn. Here is an example Hello app.

You can find a lot of good stuff at the code project site also.

eVC has wizards that will get you going. One thing I found out about using eVC is that you won't be able to debug your programs on a WM5/6 device since the SDK's are not compatible with them. It can be a bit of a challenge to fix bugs without a debugger. I can't get the debugger to work with the emulator either for some reason.
A question for other eVC developers out there. Is it possible to use the emulator to debug programs or do you all have an old PPC2003 device that you use to do your debugging? Or have you all moved on to VS2005?
I've bought visual studio 2005 standard and it is great - it fully supports WM5/6 (with sdk) and runtime debugging - for .exe it works well but I have problems with .dll - I can't debug dll files - does anyone know how to make it?
Pleas look up threads started by vijay555.
He wrote a comprehensive article on the tools and possibilities to begin developing for these devices.
Just as a quick side note:
There is no need what so ever to pay M$ money for VS 2005 if you want to develop in C / C++.
Apps written in eVC++ 4 will work perfectly with WM 5 and 6 and if you need any missing API (not many of those) you have 2 choices:
1) Manually unpack the SDK and link to it.
2) Use implicit linking (that LoadLibrary and GetProcAdress).

Sorry about the delay in replying...
Many thanks for the pointers.. Just a matter of starting now!
Hi,
I'm looking for a possibility to intercept incoming SMS on Windows Mobile (5.0) devices. I've already found some examples for managed code, but nothing for plain c++ programs (I'm using MS Visual Studio 2005 for developing the c++ code).
Could anyone at least give me a hint or even post some code on how to start solving my problem?
Furthermore, incoming SMS will either be 7-Bit coded or 8-Bit coded. Is there anything special to consider when decoding the messages, or can the coding scheme be found in the header at all and decoding is a straight forward process?
Thanks in advance,
Günther

Implement IMailRuleClient
Look in the SDK for the MapiRule example. You will most likely find it at:

Hello everybody. I am a programmer experienced in various languages. I want to create a very simple today-plugin, a launcher. It should be touch-responsive, to gestures to be more accurate. Target platform is Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro. I don't want to use wrappers and user-made frameworks and stuff for this, I want to write a professional app. .NET Framework is okay but I don't want to use technologies that are not made by Microsoft. Period. Okay now what I need to know is how do I do this? First I need to know which apps to get. I suppose I will need Visual Studio? Which Version? I'm downloading "Windows Mobile 6 SDK Refresh Kit" at this time. How do I proceed? Is there any sample code? I'm not looking for a huge file. I would like a quick success. Maybe I'll go into some more detail: Basically I want a fully transparent plugin, 480 x 480 px. Users should be able to move their finger from the center in 8 directions and the plugin will then launch the program associated with that direction. That's it. I hope you can help me with this. By the way, I have used the search function and I have found some threads and followed most links I encountered but it's not up to date or not what I want, so frogive me for posting another thread.
hi,
First of all, you can't use .NET Compact Framework for Today Plugin development. It has to be C++ native code AFAIK because it's a .dll - you can't have managed code DLLs.
You need Visual Studio with Smart Device Project support. I'm using VS 2008 Professional, because that's the only version that has it. Standard, Express etc doesn't have that.
You'll need that WM 6 SDK you're already downloading.
Visual Studio has a very nice Device Emulator if you don't have a device to use, but you need to download device emulator images with windows mobile 6. It's somewhere on MSDN in separate package.
I don't have any experience in today plugin development, but I'm sure you'll find a lot of resources and articles about it on:

I DID see this thread, but I don't want to search download install and configure 20 apps out of which I only need 2 for my purpose. Thanks to grzegorzaksamit for the information. I will organize VS 2008 then. Any other help regarding the actual development is highly appreciated!

There is an example in either the WM5 or WM6 SDK.
