Hi All,
I am trying to build a few shortcuts (.lnk) in order to automate a some repetitive tasks. I’ve been looking everywhere for a list of WM6 variables but no luck so far. I gave-up programming back in the COBOL/Assembler days of my youth so if anyone can help please keep it simple. In XP we have "%time%" & "%date%", is there a corresponding variable in WM6? TIA

I want to create a today plug-in for my XDAIIi which will countdown from 150 days to zero (days:hours:minutes:seconds)
I have experience with Visual Basic, but have never used emBedded Visual Basic 3.0 (which I have). Can anybody take the time to help me out please? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Unfortunately, visual basic can not be used to create a today plugin because it is a DLL and needs to export functions in a specific manner which the system can call.
As far as I know there is no way of doing it in VB or embedded VB which is not very well supported on anything past WM 2002 devices any way. (Major problems with run-time).
Unfortunatly all I can recommend in this mettar is lurnng c++.
I am learning C++, and any help on the today plugin using that would be great. Or even a point in the right direction.

Hi,
I am using XML to provision and configure my PDA with settings and I have a couple of questions for anyone who has done this before. I have some settings working so I got cocky and thought I could do some more but I now need a little help with this...
Needless to say I am very grateful for any help/advice I can get on these...
1. Using XML I want to be able to delete unhelpful registry entries such as today items
2. I would also like to be able to set the following values in seconds:
BattSuspendTimeout
ACSuspendTimeout
3. I would like to be able to increase my Screen\Text Size up one level from the default
4. I would like to be able to creat shortcuts in the program menu for Office via the XML/CPF route but do not know the correct syntax
Is there a good resource for making these changes? I have serahced Google and come across various MS Visual Studio elements but not much for the XML, MakeCab, CPF route.
All the best, and thank you for anyone who can help me,
Sam.

The best place to look is the MSDN books.
If you do a search of XML syntax it has all the options.
I have Visual c# and Visual basic development environment and I want to try my chance in developing small tools for WM6.
I am looking for advice on how to begin developing.
What is required to develop WM6 software ? How can I write a "hello world" code in basic steps ?
Thanks...
also, which version of Visual Basic or Visual C# would you recommend for this ?
Visual Studio 2005 will do the trick.
After that, get the SDK for your intended platform. WM2003,WM5 or WM6. And create a new project, select VB and look for your target device environment. Create a form based application, double click the form, and in the formload sub add this code:
Msgbox("Hello World")
This will pop up a message box saying hello world. I wasn't incredibly detailed, since I'm assuming you've done some software development on different environments before, correct?
thanks.
you really did explain enough to begin. I believe I can handle it.
just one question:
where can I get the WM6 SDK ?
http://www.google.dk/search?hl=da&q=WM6+SDK&btnG=Søg&meta=lr=lang_da|lang_en
finally I have the environment set up.
first basic tries (hello world, simple calculations etc.) were successful.
Then I went to "How Do I" pages of Microsoft and tried some advanced teaching examples.
I have a little problem with WM6:
I couldn't get the following value to a greater value than 0 no matter what I 've done:
Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status.SystemState.ConnectionsNetworkCount
or
Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status.SystemState.ConnectionsCount
I have activesync and wlan connected; I even connected to gprs but this value is always 0.
any idea ?
is it different on some devices ?
I still couldn't figure out where the problem is.
I think I am using a wrong system property but which one is the correct one ?
Hello,
in our company are a lot of Windows Mobile Devices in use. These should like our Client PC's listed in OCS Inventory.So, i'll try to develop a OCS Agent Client.
Functions needed:
-read out hardware Specs
-read out installed Software
-read out User Name
-send this Information over Port 80 to a Server
-nice to have: run as Service and auto send this information to the Server
Tools I've got:
-Visual Studio 2008
Skills I've got:
-writing c++ console apps
What I need:
-a Tip which programming-language I shoul use
-Some links where i can find the the functions in this language which I need
What I've done:
-search in xda-developers.com
-search in MSDN(but I don't know which language i should use)
-wrote small (stupid) apps like an calculator for ppc in visual basic as little test
-I tried to do the same in visual c++ -> without any good product, i don't know how to make a gui for the functions.
I hope you can help me, espacially in the language thing.
Thanks,
Flo

I think I'll try to use Visual Basic.
One Question further: where I can find the Commands I need to read out the Information out of the Device.
Hi,
VB was good for the first steps, but after reading in msdn i decided to use Visual c#(a can use c++ although but i think c# is better for this!?) instead.
So, registry Values i can read out. But all the other stuff....I don't know how to get this out. "You should use the API functions" i read every where, but that helps no step. I don't know which API and i don't know how to speak with it.
I hope you can give me some Tips or links.
Thanks
thanks for your help so far *:-/
IMEI,Owner,Hardware(bluetooth,Phone,Wifi,Camera) is detected....
My Problem now is: CPU Speed
I didn't found a registry entry with the Speed in it, so i need another function. Some ideas?
Im using C#...
One more Question:
Where the "Settings->System->Deviceinformation->Hardware"-Window gets its Information from?
Hope someone will answer.
Thanks.
