Pimp My today screen

Im new to this entire pda scene. Ive seen what people can do to their today screens and was wondering if someone could run me through how to get on happening. Please give links to any programs necessary that you mention so i dont have trouble finding them.
cheers

Have you read through the show me your today screen threads?
Occassionaly people have given links. But the today screen is infinitely variable, you'll only get recommendations to a personal choice. Read through the threads, read Pocket PC Experts opinion on the best Today plugins, and then make your choices

where can I find this "pocket PC experts opinion on the best today screen plugins"?

use the 'search' button on the top bar. be creative on the words you use for the search.
UPDATE: Just noticed that you are using Magician. So, make sure whatever you try, make sure it is WM2003 compatible as most of the 'nice works' here are WM5.

Have a look at Wisbar with Desktop plug-in. www.lakeridgesoftware.com

When "Pocket PC Experts" is in capital letters, I'm referring to the PocketPC Experts review of software.
Googling for that gives you hit number 1.

Creating a tabbed interface in WM5\WM6

Hi
I'm trying to create a tabbed dialog for wm5\WM6 (something like BatteryStatus setttings). However I'm quite lost on how to do it. Umpteen searches on google cudnt get me anything specific. I have tried using the "Tab Control" in MFC, but coudnt figure out how to add things to tabs other than the first one..
I'm quite poor in U/I coding, so would appreciate a more wysiwyg kinda solution for adding things (After that I can manipulate them thru code no prob)..And moreover I need a solution in Native C++\MFC...
TIA

Hi shantzg,
I had use "Tab Control" in MFC App long back on PC but not in PPC.
I think it will still be similar.
The "Tab Control" only lets u define no of tabs and will also fire events on the basis of selection.
You hv to programatically show ur UI controls on the basis of these events.

you can look how they handled it in their source

Check out wxwidgets...
you can create the interface using a wysiwyg program like wxformbuilder, and you can try compiling it on windows using something like wxdevcpp. However to make it run on ppc, you'll need to install either .net professional ide, or embedded visual c++. Anyway, you'll have to spend a bit of time going through the wxwidgets wiki to get it working.

Thnx for the replies guys, I'll check out the recommended things and get back to u..

There are quite a few extras in there, but you can check out the code for LVMTime. I used tabbed dialog for its settings (using C++). Basically each tab is a separate dialog with its own handling function and I show the one needed when the parent dialog receives a message from the tab control.

Thnx for that levenum, ill take a look..havent been able to check out any of things suggested so far due to paucity of time..will do so arnd weekend..thnx a lot all u guys..

Create Panels using c++ help

Hey,
Anyone got any links to some code samples for creating a panel using c++.
I have VS2008 and the SE SDK but the panel there only shows how to put some text on the panel and no more without a good explanation how to extend this to add images etc.
The html panel is limiting so rather not build a pabel with that.
So hope there is someone here who could contribute some source code / vs project so i could get on my way creating one, just not alot of information on the net about this that i can find, really wish SE would help us all out with better examples and a full list of pseudo codes for html panels, you think think they would given that this is the unique point to the xperia.
My wee x1 needs some love!!
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

Try looking for help on MSDN. Try searching for "Directdraw" or "GDI". Haven't found any better tutorial yet :S

Storyboarding applictaion?

Hi all.
Does anyone know of an application for creating storyboards on my HD2? Basically, i'm looking for something that will allow me to take a photograph of a location and add simple icon based instructions for camera moves, actor postioning and so on in a sort of slideshow format. I'd also want to be able to record audio notes or dialogue onto it and set timings for stuff so I can see how the pacing is. Then I'd like to be able to export it to my laptop for printing.
There's plenty around for Windows proper, but having it on the laptop doesn't have the portability that I'd like. Googling hasn't really helped (it's possible that I just need more practice!) - there doesn't seem to be anything around.
Any suggestions?
(edit - sorry - I meant to put this in the 'themes and apps' forum. I also meant to spell 'application' right in the title! Any kind mod that wants to address my inadequacies is welcome! )

Storyboarding appliction
Ok, I'll admit it, I'm mostly bumping my own thread, but I did just come across this iPhone app which does the job: http://www.cinemek.com/storyboard/index.php

App Help?

I am looking into making my first useful android application. Basically its function is to go from one list view to a second list view associated to the selection and display a third layer as text view based upon selection. I can't figure out how to start . If anyone has any sourcecode similar to what I am trying to do, please share it
Thanks in advance

Have you looked at the APIDemos app distributed with the SDK? This is basically what it does; 2 or 3 levels of list views, then the guts of what you've selected.

awesome, this is a perfect reference. thanks a lot, that was exactly what I needed. I didn't even realize they had samples in the sdk.

be careful using the SDK demos, most work great in the Emulator, but most of them fail when you try to put them on a phone.
Just sharing my experience
