I'm getting bored, so I've been looking into programming in c/c++, which I know can be compiled to run on PPC. So I was wondering, what language is used for today plugins (c++?) and how do you make it actually WORK as a today screen plugin, rather than just a program? Tutorials?
P.S. Sorry, I just realized that this is in the wrong section, maybe a mod can move it?
As far as I know, C++ is the only way to code a today plugin. I've never tried to write one my self, so I can't give you any links to tutorials, however a quick search should find one.
I believe there is an article on MSDN about this, and you might also have success looking around the forum as some nice people here post the source code as well as the files.

C++ is the way to go- but there is also a C++ plugin that can load managed C# code... But I've never tried it..

Im just making my first program, and throwing myself in teh deep end, with no experience whatsoever. But its great fun [when not frustrating]
Im using c# and VS2005 professional edition, and ive basically created my user interface, with 3 numericupdown boxes, i want to out put those values into a text file for another file to read.
All methods from the internet havent worked, and give random errors, possibly because of my lack of experience, and i have no idea where to put them, but i think ive been doing it right. And i have searched here aswell, but it seems that its more where people post programs rather then beign about development.
If you can help, but need more information please pm me, its just that id rather not share the whole infomation with everyone [not that i dont trust you]
Thanks to you all
Rory
File management is in System.IO. In there, you have the File class.
There are a bunch of HowTo's there. One of them explains how to write to a file.
What errors are you seeing?
thanks so much..
Finally solved my problem, and my msdn library doesnt have that in it.. hmm
Might be back soon with more problems
lol
Thanks

First Sorry for my little question..
i hope anybody knows that (or the developer of PocketCM say it to me )
What is the programming language the PocketCM (i.e. also the ImageViewer) is developed?
Is there a way to get a litte outtake from the sourcecode of the imageviewer? (the parts of moving the picture.. i looks so pretty "real"!!) i like that
thanxx 2 @ll
yes i wish there were more open source project in here.
but i think the developers need the donations. (not bad meaning)
are there some other open source (vb.net) projects?
is there a gesture ocx for example?
Opensource is good..
but you also have to further think if all our project are OpenSource, there will be more and more individual versions of the same program and at the end, nobody knows what is the right version.. so we have a "program - chaos"
but i think to get help for selfprogramming is not wrong.
I only want to know, how the routine of the imageviewer works to slide the picture, or the kinetic sliding of PocketCM
And i´m interessted in the programming language, which the pocketCM is developed in
The developpers aKa on XDA is Tene.
His site is www.pocketcm.com
I wonder if there is a way to use something like PocketCM to overtake Outlook or at least manipulate it. Outlook is very basic and it would make sense to have something like PocketCM if it is good for SMS why not e-mail?

ImageViewer (like Contact and Keyboard) is a C++ application. They all share the PocketCM Framework.
And sorry, it's unlikely to become open-source.
For achieving something like that, just try, it's always the same: start from a blank sheet, draw the required stuff when it's required... then optimize, optimize, and optimize again.
thank you tene
but great respect for that you created
Do you use c++ .net or another IDE?

that's the same problem like everywhere. (roadrunner or cpos for example(carpc soft))
but the chief developer can manage the versions or you download only his version.
i think there are so many good idears out there.
now i am searching an example for read in all contacts into a listbox (vb.net).
but i can't spy anywhere...
well, my project is opensource
Hello,
Forgive me if this has been asked before, I've done a search and haven't come up with an answer.
I'm looking to start making my own sliders and icon sets, can anyone point me in the right direction where I might find out how to do this? (i.e. how to make cab files)
Many thanks.

I'm not a developer or WM skin designer/ROM chef, but I think your question is a little like asking "how do I strike the bottle of Champagne exactly right when I build my first ship and launch it?".
In other words the cab file is the end of the process, the final delivery system for installation by multiple users. I would imagine that a good start would be to have created your sliders and icon sets, understanding of course where the files/icons go on the target system, that they all work properly, tested by friends, which systems are supported is known/documented, etc, etc.
Then you want to put these finished and tested files into a cab file for re-use and/or distribution to others. I'm sure there are some good tutorials (Google is your friend) out there on creating Windows Mobile cab files, when you're at that stage.
Also for general development/app questions a more generic XDA forum like this would be a better place to start.

Always remember that search boxes (Google on the outside, forum search in here) are good things to become proficient at - especially if your goal is learning some new skill.

I use WinCE Cab manager, since it seems to be the best out there. It allows you to package files, registry settings, etc., and has an easy wizard for people who don't know how to use the program. It has a 30 day free trial, and after that, it's $99, but it's worth it if you regularly make and modify CAB files.
Otherwise, if you don't want to buy that, Extendir Cabs is alright for basic CAB file needs. It doesn't do all the comprehensive stuff that Wince Cab manager does, and it isn't as easy to use, but it gets the job done.
Personal favorite for me is QuickCab. Requires zero intellect to figure out how to use it.

I second QuickCab. Only rule is that if the cab is registry values only then you need to add a file (even if it's empty) since it's a requirement. If you're just doing registry values then try this: http://www.fuzemobility.com/make-a-customized-cab-for-your-registry-tweaks/
Ok I see these are in the market, anyone know how to make em What are they gifs or sumut?
I could be wrong but I have just installed eclipse along with the IDE plugin and noticed there is a section for live wallpapers. So I'm guesing they have to be coded. I have never used eclipse or java for programing before my only experiance is with VB c++ htlm xml php an css so can't really help too much yet.
Thanks for the response. I was hoping it would be more simple as Im not a coder, guess I'll stick to getting them off the market for the moment.

First let me say sorry if this is in the wrong thread. Didnt really know where to post it.
So this is my second week or so playing with app dev. I have tried app inventor and a couple other programs to try and help me accomplish what I want to do. But, looks like Eclipse is my tool.
In Eclipse who would I like a button to another string xml file? Basically I created a button that needs to link to a new screen.
Let me say I dont know what I am doing. But, I know how to read and pretty much figure things out. Would this link be like a, a href? Thanks. Example please.
Guess I cant post my code because I dont have 8 posts yet. Forum thinks its a link
