Does anyone know if there is an Xda II simulator out there?

Do you mean emulator for your PC? In that case, yes there is. It's installed together with development tools, e.g. with eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0

Thanks for your reply! That is great news. I'm sorry but I'm a bit new to this, does this mean that if I download eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0, I should be able to do my own programming and see what it would look like on the XdaII on a simulator (that is part of the package)?

i think one have to buy eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0
but anyway yes with the development tools
you get a simulator so when you run your programs you dont need a pocketpc
it's not as much a xda1 or 2 simulator as it is a pocketpc pda emulator so it will not simulate special stuff which is only on the xda series
if you dont want to do it in c++ then
in ms visual studio .net you get the simulator if you make visualbasic or c# (i think) programs for smart devices or what ever it's called in the project creator

yes, here's screenshot of the emulator

Nope. eMbedded Visual C++ can be downloaded for free from Microsoft's website:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...3d-50d1-41b2-a107-fa75ae960856&DisplayLang=en

After installing the eMbedded Visual C++, when trying to run it this error message comes up. Any suggestions what I should download to make it work?....

A search at the microsoft site gives this result: http://search.microsoft.com/search/results.aspx?st=b&na=88&View=en-us&qu=ce+sdk
Sometimes, I wonder why people ask this kind of questions, instead of performing a search first, and then post a question...

Thanks for your info.
P.S. For your information I did do a search, but as I am new to this I was not sure of which one to download etc.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...14-0364-4623-9ede-0b5fbb133652&displaylang=en
this if it's mw2003 and if the evc++ 4.0 have sp2

simulator
when you downloaded the file eVC4>exe you extract to folder and with the program is the sdk file open that and install STANDARD_SDK and then it should work me thinks

Did the trick!
That did the trick, thanks! However, it seems that I can only access a simulator of a desktop (rather than the Xda). Any suggestions??...

not 100% sure what you mean but if you do mean that you can only simulate a default pda mw2003 not a XDA with all the stuff it does
then i think thats a bit more of a problem
of cause ms will not have simulators of all pda's in the world with what ever extra they offer compared to the default outfit
so unless HTC have a custom simulator addon for ms eVc4
that they offer for free then
you're best bet may be looking at ms's site about at least some more mw2003 phoneedition settings or maybe it could be don in the ms eVC4 IDE itself

What I meant was that there must be a simulator for the xda in the ms eVC4 as someone has kindly inserted a screenshot of it earlier, but I can't seem find it...

Create a program that changes a register value

I'm pretty new to developing programs for PocketPC's, but I really would like to create my own little program
I already have Visual Studio 5 and Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK.
What I would like to do is select an option in my program. When selected it should change a register value.
For example:
====
Choose one of the following options:
CAPS indicator of the keyboard?
|O| On |O| Off
Save - Cancel
===
This is a small example of what I would like to do. What the program does behind the scenes is very simple actually:
When selected ‘yes’ it should change the register value to:
\HKCU\ControlPanel\Keyb\EnableIndicator -> DWORD ‘1’.
When selected ‘no’ it should change the register value to:
\HKCU\ControlPanel\Keyb\EnableIndicator -> DWORD ‘0’.
When you press ‘Cancel’ I want to undo all changes.
When ‘Save’ is pressed, it should save all selected items and exit the program.
I think when I know how to do one item it’s not to hard to add more after that.
Hope anyone can help me with this one![/b]

mccune: what language are you writing in?
Have you had a look at any books on pocket pc (or windows) programming in relation to the registry?

TnX for the fast reply Vijay555.
I've played a little with Visual Basic at school.
I'm writing the program with an English version of Visual Studio 5.0. After I finish it I wan't to create it for the Dutch users also..
Been looking around for some tutorials on how to create a simple program, no luck so far.. ..most tutorials are to advanced!
This is what I have so far

[edit]
As you can see I want to use checkboxes instead of radio buttons.
[/edit]
If you think you might have a word of advice about different tutorials you're more than welcome. I would really like to finish this little app, and know what I'm doing! :lol:

McCune,
That's why I asked. I've never formally learnt to program, and played with VB in my spare time to knock up programs and things. However, since getting my Magician in August or so, I've got increasingly into tweaking and programming for it. As such, I've had to learn c++, and I consider myself an enthusiastic beginner.
However, the one mistake that I would warn anyone not to make, is to learn how to practically program, without knowing what you're doing.
Learning c++, I started playing with tutorials and taking apart examples, which was how I "learnt" VB. However, going VB to C++ is a big step, and it looks like you might be doing some .net? But I think that was the wrong way to learn.
My advice: grab a book, work through basics to understand the symantics and theory behind the language, get to know just that much (Ie not much, but enough!), and then throw yourself in like a madman. But really, trying to learn c++ through tutorials, without learning very basic foundations behind it, put me back quite a while. .net might be easier to pick up if you know VB, but certain system specific foundations are essential.
Sorry to sound preachy, because I really know far too little to preach to anyone, but this is merely my advice from an enthusiastic hacker, who likes to take shortcuts: learning a new platfrom and language requires that you do learn a little foundation stuff first, so a few longcuts, and you'll reap myriad rewards!
Have a read through the big post here for some very useful books:

Just found out that Nicodekker posted a similar program on this forum.. ..Hope he can help me out here
No need to post anymore in this thread, because nicodekker's thread is running much better :lol:
TnX for the advice vijay555, I'm reading my *ss of at the moment Keep up the good work!

Can you tell (link) where is that program. I'am interested too!
Thanks

It's on this forum

Work in progress. Video URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0MqPMMBUqQ
The application mockup is done in JavaME. The UI engine powering all the animation is from UK's Tricastmedia - TWUIK
Not enough? Lots' more videos showing prolished GUI created with TWUIK here -> TWUIK UI midlet demos. See Nokia Widsets and Yahoo! GO UI mockup developed using TWUIK.

Wow...that GUI looks nice. Very interesting. Does anyone think something similair can be created for the java machine on our PPCs?

where do u download it

that looks pretty cool... as ive read you not going to be publishing this? am i correct? would really like to try it out on my TyTN

If they're not gonna release that, then why show it off?

On J2ME? But why? A bigger memory hog?

I dont think this can be used on a pocket pc, since it's not java oriented.
S60 will work.

J2ME to make it work with most MObile (ppc included)

hamoda-t: notice that you need a touchscreen, which not all mobiles have, in fact only few do.

I don't remember Nokia being tactile? (but I don't follow Nokia scene development).
And Windows Mobile has a built in Java virtual machine....

Hi,
Tricastmedia has WM5/6 compatibility for TWUIK, so... It can run without problems since TWUIK is cross platform, using Java or native PPC code or any other supported platform. Read @ Tricastmedia page.
Regards,
Taguapire.

Please share...

Solid state electronic resistors on circuit boards have colour coded bands to tell you the resistance - this program decodes them.
A good little program. Thanks!

Very nice could have done with it ten years ago nice job anyway.

Next vertion you can put 6 stripes, the maximum that exists (that i know )

haha nice, i'll use it

Testers needed for WMOptimizer v0.0.0.1

Hi all, this is my first time to write a post here, I need some testers for the application I am developing - WMOptimizer, it's basically a tweaking application for Windows Mobile. I know there's already some tweaking applications like XperiaTweak, Tweak2k2, and DiamondTweak for WinMo tweaking purposes, but I intended to make WMOptimizer finger friendly and visually appealing. Maybe this two enhancements are optional to most users out there, as functionalities are most important of all, but I want to test my ability of using .NET Compact Framework to make an application that is generally acceptable by the public.
I'm a international student studying in Australia Queensland University of Technology, the reason why I'm developing this application is because I want to try and sharpen my own programming skill and if possible add this into my port folio/resume, as an international student from Malaysia, a strong resume is very important, I hope to use this opportunity to strengthen my resume.
I've opened a wordpress blog for this application, http://wmoptimizer.wordpress.com/, I will post the most recent updates of this application there.
WMOptimizer v0.0.0.1 can be downloaded at my Skydrive here, please leave a comment here about the application.
It's developed in WVGA resolution, because I only have one WinMo device, Xperia X1, so it's my only option, please try the application using other WinMo devices and let me know the results and what you think about this application, thank you so so so much!
You can contact me via leaving a comment on wmoptimizer.wordpress.com or email me [email protected]

i tried it seems to be very promising however in present state not very useful .

When more features are added, I'm willing to try it out. I don't think it will be ground-breaking, as for instance Schap's Advanced Config can do this already, and so much more..

Keep going on your good work mate! Seems very promising !

promising but not that useful considering the lack of features. your next version should have the majaority of whats in advanced config 3.3
