Give me that modem - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Doesd anyone know if.how I can write a WinCe program for an XDA which just takes the modem away from the operating system, and other applications, and completely controls it using an AT command interface?
I want to control network search etc.

Video data transfer from PPC to Desktop

Hi everybody.
I just wonder how I can estabilish a remote connection between my pocket pc a nd the desktop pc, for video and camera capture still image.
Shall I have to use Winsocket or there is another way, maybe using Activesync manager?
Thank you very much in advance.

Did you mean with an existing app or by code?
In the first case you should follow Chatty's suggestion and look at CoolCamera.
If you want to write something of your own, communication method depends on who initiates the connection.
If it is the device than winsock is the way to go, but if it is the PC you should look in to CeRapiInvoke function which allows you to extend activesync functionality with your own DLLs.
There is an option for block and stream data transfer with CeRapiInvoke and your custom functions.

Exactly: I would like to implement it by my own.
I don't know exactly if the communication should begin from ppc or pc: there could be both scenarious.
Thank you very much for your suggestions.
Another (perhaps stupid) question: in WM5 is there a way to host a WCF service (webservice), like in WInfx 3.0? Perhaps exists a Compact Winfx3.0? I should stop my imagination ... ;-)

Remote PDA Management Software

Hi all,
I joined the forum because I'm looking to design a PC application using Visual Studio 2005 that will connect to most phones and allow you to send/receive SMS, manage contacts, perhaps even use any onboard camera as a webcam.
I'm an experienced programmer, but know little about the architecture on the Andes, which is my testbed.
Basically, all I need to get started on the basics is how to communicate with the device using a serial connection (Not in debug mode though!), or the best way to accomplish this if not bluetooth.
Any/all help appreciated. I'm not looking for code just a procedure to establish a serial link that'll allow me to issue commands to the device whilst its in its usual turned on and usable state, or docked. However if you think it'll help please feel free.
Many thanks in advance!
opennetcf.org has examples and a free library which you can download

Many thanks! However from what I can see, I'd need the latest version, which is not free :S Any attempt to install the previous SDK's fail as I'm running VS2005...
Ok, to clarify, I'm looking for a framework for a windows application that will enable me to connect to a smartphone, and control it. From what I can tell from the above site, the Opennetcf libraries are for a device application... I've installed the free version of the libraries and they work find under the emulator, but that's not really what I'm after...

locking down hardware buttons

Hi Guys
Wondered if anyone knew of a way of locking down all the hardware buttons with a registry change on WM5?
Or at least specific ones?
Reason being I'm developing a flash lite data driven app for a device specific service with issued handsets to users during a corporate event - they need to be "locked down" to stop the user activating the phone using the "make call" buttons etc.
Although I can make the Flash app run "full screen" I can't stop the other buttons switching to other apps.
Regards
Derek
2 suggestions.
1 if you are trying to gain lock out control A_C's S2U2 program accomplashes this. If you need something other than his program I recommend that you PM him and asked him out he accomplished it with his lock.
2 you may want to try a program like hbutton. It would allow you to assign controls of the buttons to certain actions. One of the action options could be to do nothing. You could set them all to that.
Try using GXOpenInput();
it will redirect all input screen/keys to your app and then you can ignore then if you want.

I've just googled that command and found this page...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms831632.aspx
Seems like a good solution - only problem is, I'm not a .Net developer, so how would I pass this into the Flash Lite App as a .swf is loaded on the handset?
is there a way of passing this system variable in almost like a command-line before the app is opened?
Or would I need an executable on the PocketPC to somehow pass that in opening flashlite and the .swf in one go?
Thanks
Thanks for all the useful suggestions, I'm now following them up - cheers guys!

Where do I start with c# and writing a IE Mobile "extension"?

I'm interested in writing an add-on for IE Mobile that is like an offline cache mode (that allows back and forward caching of pages).
I'm unsure where to start, as for the integration into IE Mobile. It is even possible, to say, add a menu entry, let alone integrate an entire extension?
Thanks,
Matt
You can do a complete app and embed a WebBrowser control into it. That way, it'll be IE, but you can control what happens when user clicks links, etc.
Yea.......

How to approach a USB hardware hack? (noob help)

I have a USB audio DSP that's designed to be configured in a Windows environment through an Adobe AIR plugin. Its just a standard plug and play device for control purposes and the transfer of data is by way of XML data.
I want to be able to configure the device in a Linux environment. I did try WINE where I managed to open the plugin but couldn't connect plus is just seems messy.
Normally it takes about 5 seconds to connect. During this time the entire current configuration data on the devices memory is sent to the host, where it updates the GUI (sliders etc).
Is there a tool I can use back in my Window's environment where I can capture the messages sent from the app when 'connect' is clicked? Could I then not just repeat these messages from my Linux environment?
At this stage I would be happy to just receive config data from the device in any shape or form.
So far I have established the DSP is recognised by the bash command
Code:
dmesg -w
How do I open the control pipe to the device's default end point ? (should be only one)
Do I need to retrieve the data from a buffer on the host and how?
How can I confirm each stage in the communication process?
What tools are available to assist external device connections from Linux?
My understanding is fragmented as still relatively new to Linux and have not much experience with hardware connections either.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
