Notify Icon works on Win Mobile 5 but not on Win Mobile 2003

Hello together,
does anyone know why a Notify Icon is shown on Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC's but not shown on Windows Mobile 2003 Pocket PC's?

windowSink = new WindowSink(this);
windowSink.uID = uID;
}
//Destructor

Remove();
}

{
TrayMessage(windowSink.Hwnd, NIM_ADD, (uint)uID, hIcon);

notdata.hWnd = hwnd;
notdata.uCallbackMessage = WM_NOTIFY_TRAY;
notdata.uFlags = NIF_MESSAGE | NIF_ICON;
notdata.uID = uID;
int ret = Shell_NotifyIcon(dwMessage, ref notdata);
}

The usage of this class is in my WM 5.0 project identical with my WM 2003 project. But the icon is not shown...
It seems like the space in the "Task Bar" is reserved and my application reacts correct when I click on the place the icon should appear...
Does anyone have an idea?

Finding Windows and their executable filepaths

I've just spent a lot of time looking for ways to tie Windows and process exe files together and I saw a lot of people asking after similar topics.
It was somewhat frustrating because of numerous little difficulties - using CreateToolhelp32Snapshot unpredictably fails, GetProcessById is no good if the process wasn't started with StartInfo, because you can have multiple windows to a process it's hard to identify which is a processes mainwindow.
But I solved my problem, a solution that I haven't seen elsewhere, so I thought I'd share it here. This is my solution to the specific problem of finding a window to match an executable file path....
This is on WM6, using CF2 in C#.
Used as follows (with S2U2 as the example):
Ionwerks.Window w = new Ionwerks.Window(@"\Program Files\S2U2\S2U2.exe");
IntPtr WindowsHandle = w.handle;
Code:
using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Diagnostics;
namespace Ionwerks
{
delegate int EnumWindowsProc(IntPtr hwnd, IntPtr lParam);
class Window
{
private EnumWindowsProc callbackDelegate;
private IntPtr callbackDelegatePointer;
private IntPtr m_handle = IntPtr.Zero;
private string moduleFileName = "";
//Construct from path
public Window(string path)
{
moduleFileName = path;
Enumerate();
}
public IntPtr handle
{
get
{
return m_handle;
}
}
private void Enumerate() {
callbackDelegate = new EnumWindowsProc(EnumWindowsCallbackProc);
callbackDelegatePointer = Marshal.GetFunctionPointerForDelegate(callbackDelegate);
EnumWindows(callbackDelegatePointer, 0);
}
[DllImport("coredll.dll", SetLastError = true)]
private static extern bool EnumWindows(IntPtr lpEnumFunc, uint lParam);
[DllImport("coredll.dll", EntryPoint = "GetModuleFileNameW", SetLastError = true)]
private static extern uint GetModuleFileName(IntPtr hModule, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] string lpFileName, uint nSize);
[DllImport("coredll")]
private static extern uint GetWindowThreadProcessId(IntPtr hwnd, out int lpdwProcessId);
[DllImport("coredll.dll")]
private static extern IntPtr OpenProcess(int flags, bool fInherit, int PID);
[DllImport("coredll.dll")]
private static extern bool CloseHandle(IntPtr handle);
[DllImport("coredll.dll")]
private static extern bool IsWindowVisible(IntPtr handle);
private string ModuleFileName = new string((char)0x20, 255);
private int EnumWindowsCallbackProc(IntPtr hwnd, IntPtr lParam)
{
//get windows process
int pid = 0;
GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, out pid);
IntPtr pHnd = OpenProcess(0, false, pid);
//get processes image
GetModuleFileName(pHnd, ModuleFileName, (uint)ModuleFileName.Length);
//if paths match up
if (String.Compare(ModuleFileName.Substring(0, ModuleFileName.IndexOf('\0')), moduleFileName, true) == 0) {
//only interested in processes mainwindow
if (hwnd == Process.GetProcessById(pid).MainWindowHandle)
{
m_handle = hwnd;
}
}
CloseHandle(pHnd);
return 1;
}
}
}

thanks man! your code helped!

simple explanation ... ?.... what that codes for and how to use

fade to black

I want my form to fade to black until the app. exits, when I click my self-made exit-button. I've got my inspiration from the apps. "S2U2" and "PocketCM" ... they fade to black really smooth and fast.
I already got my app working... but it is extrem slowly.
for those who are interested in my application

Have you got a better idea to solve this?
thanks

Look for DIBSection, but in .NET that's not gonna be easy.

You might be right about .NET
I already thought about coding in c++ ...I think that's what I am going to do.
Thank you

FC when using interface to launch new fragment form listView

I have an async task that loads a list view of items. I am currently trying to set the onClick to load a new fragment with an "id" that is being retrieved from the list item that is clicked. I have no errors in my code that the Android Studio shows me.
When I run the app and click on the item in the list view I get this FC:

SharedPreferences Context Issue

I have created a questionnaire in the beginning of the app in order to base a user model off the answers chosen. The values of the chosen options are stored as Shared Preferences as shown below. With the data retrieved I am then trying to tag a Google map with certain tags based on the answers chosen. The issue I am encountering is that of reading the stored Shared Preference values across the different activities, from the Question2 Activity, to that of the Map Activity (code below). Any pointers on how to solve the *context* conflict would be greatly appreciated.
Question2 Activity:
Code:
public class Question2 extends Activity{
RadioButton q2a1,q2a2,q2a3;
Button btn2;
public static final String MY_PREF = "MyPreferences";
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState){
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_question2, null);
return v;
}
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_question2);
q2a1 = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.q2a1);
q2a2 = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.q2a2);
q2a3 = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.q2a3);
btn2 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.q2_button);
btn2.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v){
SharedPreferences prefernces = getSharedPreferences(MY_PREF, 0);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefernces.edit();
if (q2a1.isChecked()){
editor.putInt("answer_value2", 1);
editor.commit();
}
if (q2a2.isChecked()){
editor.putInt("answer_value2", 2);
editor.commit();
}
if (q2a3.isChecked()){
editor.putInt("answer_value2", 3);
editor.commit();
}else {
editor.putInt("answer_value2", 0);
editor.commit();
}
editor.commit();
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Question3.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
}
Map Activity:
Code:
public class MapActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_map);
map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.mapLayout)).getMap();
map.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
SharedPreferences preferences = getSharedPreferences(Question2.MY_PREF,MODE_PRIVATE);
int q1answer = preferences.getInt("answer_value", 0);
int q2answer = preferences.getInt("answer_value2", 0);
int q3answer = preferences.getInt("answer_value3", 0);
if(q1answer == 1){
//method
}
if(q1answer == 2){
//method
}
if(q1answer == 3){
//method
}
if(q2answer == 1){

}if(q2answer == 2){

Use this
create this class in your package
Code:
public class SharedPrefence{
// Shared Preferences
SharedPreferences pref;
// Editor for Shared preferences
Editor editor;
// Context
Context _context;
// Shared pref mode
int PRIVATE_MODE = 0;
// Sharedpref file name
private static final String PREF_NAME = "MyPreferences";
// Answers (make variable public to access from outside)
public static final String KEY_ANSWER_TWO = "answer_value2";
//similarly other answers tag can be added(this is the key of preference)
// Constructor
public SharedPrefence(Context context) {
_context = context;
pref = _context.getSharedPreferences(PREF_NAME, PRIVATE_MODE);
editor = pref.edit();
}
/**
* Create Answer.
* */
public void createAnswer(int ans) {
// Storing name in pref
editor.putInt(KEY_ANSWER_TWO, ans);
// commit changes
editor.commit();
}
public int getAnswer(String tag,int default) {
return pref.getString(tag, default);
}
}
now create an activity and initialise this class in the starting with the activity context.
next call the create answer method of this class and you are done.
also no need to create sharedprefence in each activity.
and it's even better if you create only one activity and use ViewPager for all questions.you can google for it.
