I'm looking for a program that will allow me to see the Military Grid Reference System (MGRS). I found a program called GeoScout that is supposed to do this, and it says it's for all Windows Mobile 2003 and later devices. So I assumed that having the DCD 3.0.1 rom in here with windows mobile 6.1 would work. I installed the .net compact framework 2.0, and whenever I go to install this, it tells me it's unsuccessful.
So I guess this means it's not compatible. So does anyone know of any software for this phone that will allow me to use the MGRS System?
I guess there is no answer to this? I'll have to dig around some more.
I'm 2 for 2 on here so far.

You can actually convert UTM to MGRS. An article explaining this is HERE
Other than that, I'm not too familiar with MGRS but I hope this helps.

I'm a MSDN subscriber and haven't received it yet. As soon as i get it will try to publish it somewhere in the net...
Cheers
well the link i gave will let you download the beta even if you dont subscriber to msdn

I'm on my i-mate now & can't find any download links on that page. It is not even published at http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/recent.aspx download center.
Can you post a link to a pre-DL passport auth page?

I'm using Visual Web Developer 2005 beta.
Completely new to web development.
HTML tags were completely beyond me as was data driving asp stuff.
BUT......
VWD is a dream to use.
I now have an asp site that lets XDA equiped engineers interface with our back office systems. The database integration is simple (tho there are a few bugs) and controls autosize for the target device.
Give it a go
well the only stuff relevant for me is c++ and maybe a bit of c# so i dont end up like some creepy dinosaur like those people who started coding Cobol back in the 70's and are still at it!
suppose one have to keep a bit up with the trend
VS 2005
Hi, there:
I'm using VS2005beta1, and I think its cool except a stupid bug on device application development. I attached some screen shots here. hope these information helpful.
Unlike evc+sdk developer tool set, vs2005 includes all stuff needed to build device applications, and it supports the latest emulator which running native ARM code on an emulated arm920 device, it's much faster than the legacy emulator, the legacy i486 emulator is still suported, check the attached platforms.jpg for supported platforms, notice wince 5.0 device is in the list. :lol:
now we can program in vb.net, c#, or c/c++. the attached screen shots show these different types of projects. convenient enough hur.
well, a big problem arised when develop in c/c++, i did not try vb.net and c# coz I don't like'em. when you create a new project, two platform configurations are created, one for device and the other for emulator. I mentioned the new emulator before, remember? its cpu is an arm920, check the screen shot. this emulator is used when deploy and debug for the project's emulator configuration. but unfortunately, under the emulator configuration, the compile and linker will generate x86 executable which cannot be run on the target emulator. what is worse is that you cannot change to use legacy i486 emulator, you can not even connect to the legacy emulator, the problem may related to the virtual machine network service driver installed by the emulator installation file. I'm still checking it. until this problem is solved can we finally debug on emulator, otherwise we had the only choice to debug on the device, btw I can debug on device with no problem, it can even attach to a running process on the device
at the predicatable future, vs2005 will certainly supercede evc+sdk to become the unified development platform.
why the screen shots appear in a reverse order of my attaching? I think it should be a list instead of a stack. :roll:
Well, I think I´ll have a look at it soon. Could you check if there are any project types for deployment? Means a "setup projekt" for devices?
yeah, I forgot this one, check the shot, it support device cab project.
Hi
Keen to get into this, I've installed VS2005, followed by the .net compact framework (version 2) and sdk and also Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone SDK.
I can run forms in the emulator that I've designed, but for some reason, there appear to be lots of controls missing in the IDE.
The controls I have in the toolbox are:
Pointer
BindingSource
Checkbox
Combobox
DataGrid
DateTimePicker
HScrollBar
ImageList
Label
LinkLabel
ListView
MainMenu
MessageQueue
Panel
PictureBox
ProgressBar
SerialPort
TextBox
Timer
TreeView
VScrollBar
WebBrowser.
And that's it. Could someone in perhaps a similar situation please verify that I have all the controls I should? Shouldn't there be stuff like a simple form button, and how come I don't get all the other stuff like FileOpen dialog's?
Remember, this is while developing for Mobile v5 Smartphone - when I picked a Windows CE project, up come a load more controls including those listed above.
They just not available for Smartphone v5 perhaps? Something else I'm missing?
Thanks
edit: update. the controls are there if I create a project for Windows CE 5.0 instead, there's heaps more controls instead of what I mentioned above. And the app runs on my phone, but not in the emulator. When I switch back to the emulator, naturally it barfs on:
Me.Button1 = New System.Windows.Forms.Button
where it's "not supported". Damn.
Should I actually be developing for Windows CE 5.0 instead perhaps for the HTC Wizard ?
DOH!
Well, I'll post my clot-headed mistake here for the benefits of others.
My post above reveals I had installed the SDK for Smartphone - and the HTC Wizard (o2 xda mini) is running Windows Mobile v5 for PocketPC (not Smartphone).
Once I'd retrieved the proper SDK, here all went well, and I now have the proper complement of controls.
/me slaps head.
Off to a great start then..
I've been searching for hours and can't find the answer. I'm hoping someone here could help me out. I just started programming in C# and I'm trying to kill a process that already exists. I'm guessing I have to somehow do it via process name, but that's where the problems start. I've found a solution using System.Diagnositics.Process and a couple using WMI, however that function seems to only be in .NET 2.0.50727, and I don't think that applies to mobiles (please let me be wrong). I can easily start/stop another exe from with the program, just not one that the program hasn't started itself. Does anyone have a preferrably easy solution to this problem. If not, I'll gladly accept a complicated one.
Thanks.

says
"Version Information
.NET Framework
Supported in: 3.0, 2.0, 1.1, 1.0
.NET Compact Framework
Supported in: 2.0"
Thanks Rudegar. That's some good info, however that class only works for processes created by the program. What I'm trying to do is kill a background process (or multiple instances ) that's already running. If I use this technique to create then close/kill the process, it creates a duplicate and closes that one, leaving the original process(es) running.
The functionality I'm looking for seems to be missing from the compact framework, so I'll probably need to use the WMI through a DLL in the OS (which I did to call for a soft reset), so I'll have to figure that one out.
EDIT: Looks like this class has a few other features I need to check out. I'll do that this afternoon as the golf gods are calling me right now

As I'm new in this forum: Hi everybody!
I have been programming Windows CE-based devices for many years, but no experience yet with the HTC ARTEMIS (P3300). Therefore, I've a few questions and hope to get answers from this forum:
- I assume, it is possible to program visual-C++ based applications for the programme. SDK for Windows Mobile should be available at Microsoft. Is that correct?
All further questions are based on the assumption that visual-C++ (or embedded VC) is used for application development.
1. Is it possible to direclty receive incoming Short Messages (SMS) via the application? (Any keyword on how this works would also be welcome)
2. Is it possible to query the battery status from the device?
3. Can the GSM module easily be accessed and can Cell-IDs or carrier IDs be read from the device? (In particular, I want to identify the home country of the current mobile carrier) - If yes, how does it work?
4. Is it possible to restrict the appearance of the ARTEMIS. I.e., the user should only be able to access "my" application and mobile phone (voice) features. All other applications and system functions shall be hidden to the user.
Thanks in advance and kind regards,
ma_gu
yeah the stk can be downloaded and accessed from visual studio
1. i would asume so even if it had to be don with a dll hook
2. yeah many 3th party applications can display it asume there is an api call to get it
3. yeah there is an api forget the name searching in this forum should give some hits
4. yeah but if they hardreset or reflash the device it would be more troublesome
Hi Rudegar,
thanks for your fast reply. That sounds good and I think, I'll be able to find the regarding API calls (anyway, if somebody could provide some keywords, it would be very welcome).
But I have never restricted the appearance of any Windows-CE based device (question #4). How can this be done? At the beginning, I assumed that this needs rebuilding of the operating system via a system builder, but that's obviously not the case. Can you give me some hints on how to do this?
Kind regards,
ma_gu

the api is called ril
depend on who you wanna develop really
1 option is making pure arm code (kinda skipping the ce) using gcc compiler for arm
2 option is the high lvl c# .net or c++ .net path but it's not that fast and dont have as much os access as pure win32 stk and even microMFC
3 option microMFC old ms class lib for c++ oop the granddad of .net you might say
4 pure win32 stk you handle the msg loop and everything more work but more power where many developrs who do today items and programs end up
if you can live with .net it's the easy path
if you want more then starting with microMFC and moving on to pure win32stk is prob the thing
java is not that well supported by wm imho
oooh yeah and you dont use platform builders and stuff like that
unless you are building roms from scratch and got access to all drivers for spc devices
you start a new project in embedded visual stuio or visual stuio 200X
and pick your path as in .net or the likes
and then you can debug using a simulator or directly on the device
it use activesync to get the exe there
otherwise you can normaly activesync the exe file to your device and run it directly
or copy it to a sd card and run it from there
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.
