sorry to post a question - but i really have SEARCHED and SEARCHED - to the extent that i'm starting to think it may not be possible - hence trying here.......
I'm developing in C# (using MS VisualStudio2008 with the WM6-Update SDK)
In short, i'm trying to list the SMS files stored in the "sms\drafts" folder (the place that WM stores SMS messages when they cannot be immediatley sent)
But i'm really struggling to find the bid of code to access this folder
HELP!
......many thanks
inthehand API can do that
Many thanks
.....i'll check it out
Thanks again - but had a quick look, and that seems to be software you have to pay for (sorry if i've got that wrong)
- was just looking to see if there was a way i could access the folder list with VS2008 and the SDK
......i'm starting to think not

So here is the question, on the today screen is there anyway to make the messaging plugin read "No unread email" instead of "No unread messages"? I also just got the palm mesaging app and love it to dealth, but i would like that plugin to read, " No unread Texts" instead of "No unread text messages". I am guessing that tweaking both of these would be mostley the same process. Could someone help me out. Thanks!
Modify MUI resource file assigned with that plugin.
how would i go about doing that?
Basically you need to find the file pmail.exe.xxxx.mui (where xxxx is language code in hex, 0409 for English) and use something like Resource Hacker to change the string. If the MUI does not exist, search the forum on how to create one. Particularly look for messages by Asukal, he does a lot of localization. And check out www.buzzedev.net
i have no idea where to start on this one! No idea where to even look for the file you spoke of! I seached this site for anything on .mui, didn't pull up a thing not even this thread. So I figured I would try google. Again all i found was stuff on windows xp running in another language. Could someone else help me a little
This is a very long topic to explain but I'll try to give you some more pointers and maybe your research will take off.
First, you need to search for 'language packs' and 'localization'. Use google to search this site (site:www.xda-developers.com) instead of the built in search engine.
If the file exists it is in your windows directory on your device. Since you probably won't be able to copy it out you will have to get a ROM dump.
In short, MUI files are DLLs with no code, just resources, so if you have an empty DLL (or just a small useless one) you can make an MUI file out of that by just adding the right resources.
Unfortunately, to understand all this stuff a bit of windows programing knowledge is required.
Looks like you have a lot of research ahead of you.
Hello all,
first let me say I love this site , and if it wasn't for these forums then I never would have been able to do the following...
secondly, let me also say that I am no means a coder- but more of a graphic artist as such I am sure the following application could be written better...so I am offering the source code and graphics in case anyone wants to develop it further...personally I would like to have been able to make it landscapable as well as read the 'password' and the program to block from a config or .ini file..as it is now the password is embedded within the actual .exe.
I know there is development of a similar app (much better probably too)but I figured I would share what I have and hopefully it might grow into something better.
.zip file contains the folder with my vs2008 project/source code
a folder with all the graphics I used (as well as layered .psd files for artists to manipulate further)
and lastly the actual .exe and 3 .wavs used in the application..
because I am new to this if you want to try the application out you must place it on your storage card in a folder called Lockdown in 'Program Files'
thus: Storage Card\Program Files\Lockdown
please let me know what you think (even though I dread the inevitable.."you could have done all that with just these 2 lines of code"...but its a learning experience for me and I am thrilled to have been able to get this far with it.
the PASSWORD to unlock SMS messages is : 1-7-9-3 then hit 'OK'
thank you:
I have begun writing a Wiki program for my PPC.
I wanted to be able to access and carry all my technical information with me and not rely on being able to connect to a web based wiki. I must admit this was based on another wiki program called "Blade Wiki", but not having all the features I wanted I decided to write my own.
I originally only wrote this program for my own use, but have decided to release it to anyone who might have a use for it. I have released it as open source. The source code can be found at Basic4PPC.
Features:
Quik Easy Markup
Mostly compatible with Blade Wiki
Take phots and save them directly into your wiki
Draw and save it into wiki
Some SQL data base connectivity
all files saved as text files
Field encryption
Code folding
Include one wiki page inside another
Will only run on WM5 and WM6. Needs dotnet V2.
NOTE:Do not sync "pppcw.ini" from desktop to ppc
Its probably not quit ready for a Wiki novice, but it does work well for me.
Getting Started:
Create a directory inside your MyDocuments folder perhaps "MyWikis".
Copy "wikistyle.css" to each wiki folder that you create.
Now simply open PPPWiki and navigate there.
Happy Wiki-ing

This is a really good implementation and enhancement of Dale's bLADE Wiki. I started using his wiki program last year to help organize my notes. I used to use Notepad to take quick notes, then try to organize them into directories that made sense so I could find them later. Not only was that a lot of effort to keep organized, I would often lose something or more likely update the wrong text file.
When I saw how I could use a wiki to organize everything, it was information organization nirvana for me.

At the moment I am working on Namespace feature so you can have the best of both worlds, A wiki and also keep data in its respective directory.
I found the wiki to be great and it has helped me get organised, but I didn't like that fact that every file was all in one directory.
So at the moment a link to another page is [page_name]. The namespace version will allow [sub_directory\page_name]. Helping to organise your information even better.
Ok not a lot of interest here.
If you really want to see what this program is capable of please come to my home page

GSlide Pocket Outlook provider 0.0.1
Hi Yall
Just posted a new cool provider for GSlide (or any app that can read JSON...). Its called GSlidePOOM. This little app exports all your appointments and tasks to JSON. Hmm i wonder what i can do with that....
Its a simple exe which takes 2 mandatory arguments and 1 third which is optional.
1. Type of objects to be fetched ("tasks","appointments")
2. Location AND file name of the resulting JSON file ("/Whatever folder/whatever_name.js").
3. Optional app/script to be called straight after export.
Download at www.gslide.mobi/gpoom.rar
PS. Look in the Actions/Resources/Applications folder of GSlide (should you download it). Theres a small Alpha app called GImage.exe which scales bitmaps using command line args. Handy Its early apha so it will get better
Keep checking the site for more GApps.
Well?!... Now go code something interesting!
Ciao,
Lars
Any way this can work with Contacts?
But of course
Already did it. I will implement the same api pattern as GSlide with read/write xml-rpc.
More important i think is to mirror out the email, sms etc messages. What the phones seriously need is a new email client!
This is the original intent with this provider.
I wish i could get some more comments on GSlide (www.gslide.mobi) which is a really nice framework with so much potential... I wonder if the docs and examples are to unclear?
Any suggestions?
Ciao
Lars
New 0.1.5 version
Hi again
Now also exports Contacts...
Download at http://www.gslide.mobi/GPOOM_0_1_5.zip
This is as you understand still just a lab, even though it works... I will keep updating it. Keep checking the site.
Ciao,
Lars
I HAVE tested a nice tool . you can get in Windows store :
search for:
Pocket File Manager
it is a real file Manager.... some less fuctions are missing but it is very very nice.. and all they have told me it is impossible.... it is possible how you can see it
it works fine and great .... it can follow: send every file by Bluetooth... you can open every file it is legal docx, rar, zip txt . jpeg, mp3 , mp4 ... realy legal ... it opens what is on the device! !!! and you see a great file structure and you can use skydrive........ everyone who says it is impossible im think that they doesn't try whats possible ...
I have find somtehing interessting
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290261
maybeee it should us help to get a Explorer to wp8
Have you looked at the description? It is limited in exactlly the same way as described around here all the time.
Limitation (Please read it!):
Windows phone has some limitations which prevent third party applications from accessing parts of files system. You cannot access video files, music files, Document folder. So, until Microsoft open it, please do not ask us to implement this feature. It is impossible right now.

It can access SkyDrive, FTP servers and it's own private storage. You CAN NOT access the phones Documents Folder and other Folders. You can launch an Office Document and edit it but it will then be saved to the Office Hub and the Explorer Application will still retain the old version prior to editing.
So while this does look like it works around it a file explorer in the way that people are demanding is still not possible.

i have tested the tool ! and it works .... it reads out some lokal files and the complete Photo and Video library!! it is a tool for lokal the link in the link it is development of it that will be release in future
but that what im testing it works everything what im saying.. and it is a file Explorer for local and for skydrive!!!! as i tested some other tool too ... it is a pdf Reader... not the Microsoft one! another one ... it can be read out the pdf files of sdcard and on local phone ... .. so im think it is possible to do a great file Explorer but we have to try it..
http://www.1800pocketpc.com/file-explorer/
Oh boy
I wish it were trued, but it aint.
Second, what Stevie said.
presumption
im think we can use one trick ... srry im not a guy who can much develop
but the idea is maybee great?
if i can Open a file of the Folder of the pocket Explorer so maybee Folder Pocket Explorer\docs\Alice in wonderland.docx in word mobile 365 /15 opend it ... but the Office hub can't find the file if im opened...... but in the functionality it opend................ im think the "lock" isn't realy a lock....... im think it is something like a key in the Windows regestry of wp8 ...that disable the Show of other Folders... but every tool can be Access all the Folders that are on the phone...... if it was a real access lock it isn't be possible to open a docx file in word from a Folder outside it is registered in Office hub ... in the tool it is added the photo hub ...
im think a clever developer shouldbe can solve the Problem without to Bypass the "lock" of MS ... Note ... In Real Windows 8 it has security informations .... but if the locked for some users you can't see the files and you can't opend it.... but im think in wp 8 there isn't this the Problem ... the Problem is it disabled in the regestry to Show something that can be accsess all the Tools
No the developers can't bypass this, as far as I am aware. It isn't just the registry key (you may be right about that one), but the runtime itself does not allow these kind of things. I have been looking for way to break the file associations, and there seems to be none, other than jailbreaking and hacking into system settings.
Yep tested this one today on my new Lumia 520 and it even does not show the music folder -_- ... Stupid limitation from MS.
