My own user interface - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hello world,
I want to program a ui ,over the windows mobile system, for my samsung omnia but i don't know how to begin. I am new in developing on windows mobile but i would like to create like pointUI my own user interface in C++ or .NET (not a basic ui with bad skin like winForm ! but a ui with animation like slide,scrollauto,fade). How i do the interface ?? which library i should use ?
A ui like pointUI is in fact a full-screen program ?? it's only image move ?? I must create my own image and add it and move it ?? i don't know if it's like that to create ui. Can you help me please ?
some links ?? which library do you use for creating ui ?? which class ?? do you use winForm ? do you use MFC ? do you use directx,direct3D ? do you use windows mobile sdk ?
I would like to do like wanilla, coverflow, Pointui.. All animation. My own ui will seems to all of this. But how do this.. Just to begin. some one help me to do just like point ui first after will expert it.
PS : sorry for my english, im to bad as you've seen

I see some article that we can modify the windows mobile shell interface ! It's the solution to create a custom ui ?? Look about the kiosk mod or windows mobile shell

Why not just to shuffle through the topics of this forum a bit? You'd easily find apps like homescreen plusplus.

i don't want a program to help me ! i want to create this ui myself

I would recommend buying a book then because programming, especially at the level that you want to do will not be easy.

It is something that would take a lot of time and learning, there are no quick simple answers anyone can give you.
There's a sticky in this forum called Development Resources for Windows Mobile. That seems like the right place to start.
Just search for tutorials online until you get a feel for what you're dealing with.

i know i see that.. but i don't want create a simple application on windows mobile like button, formulaire, menu.. But it's ok if i must to spend time on it before find what i want to do.. I see some interesting topic in windows mobile sdk.
thx for answer

Ppl (pocket Programming Language)

I wanted to start a new thread on a new piece of programming software that I recently purchased. I was looking for a programming language that was easy to use for beginners and experts. I own a Sprint HTC Touch and I wanted to make my own software to run on WM6. I have not completely messed with it but it sort of reminds me of MS Visual Basic with drag and drop and also code. If you want more info please follow this link: http://www.arianesoft.ca/page.php?1 . This software combines some of the most well known programming languages. I was hoping that there were other people who had and were also working with the same software and who had tips,tricks,source code and software using this programming software. I also forgot to mention that this software not only installs on you pc but also installs on you pocket pc so you can create software on the go. If there are any other languages out there like this please post. I hope this fits in this category.
Yes..this is a good language..i am familiar with it..it also lets you make Games....Visit their forums for sample apps
Been using PPL for a while now. Very good application and can actually produce some fast running apps.
Certainly wouldn't use it for a professional application, but for graphics/games, it's one of the best I've used.
Visual Studio have better compatibilities than PPL I think....
But, PPL is very easy to use and costs a lot less.
its funny but i even saw A_C's Post in their forum
I have a copy of one of A_Cs S2U2 source code from the PPL forums!
The one thing I like about PPL over Visual Basic (although I like VB)is that the software installs on my HTC Touch so I can program on the go. VB unfortunately does not. But with the drag and drop it looks just like VB

Advice needed/Coding an app help

Hi mates, i need an advice about programing a simple app for WM6 actually for my Diamond, which should #include a simple main menu with settings, and most important a Homescreen plugin to show some text depending on a time of a day, and maybe some pics(small pics)
so here is the question, what coding programe would you recommend me to use? i know C and Pascal and a bit of C++
The app i want to do is about foreign language learning, and should show some frases or idioms during a day on the home screen,so you can observe the new words when you simple look at the homescreen
Thank you in advance for any kind of advice

I'm not a pro on legacy today plugins, but in order to make a today plugin .dll you'll need to instal visual studio .net (I use 2008, sometimes). Here's an interesting pick on how to get started with today plugins: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms839442.aspx .
It would be a lot easier to make a plugin for WM 6.5 Titanium, which requires les BS . You could use basic4ppc or mortscript for this purpose, which are a lot like visual basic.
rpereira thanks a lot , i'll give it a study.
hope i can create smth worth the effort

Creating a today plugin

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:
- http://msdn.microsoft.com
- http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/smartdevicedevelopment

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.

learn notes / file card

Hi,
may be a stupid question but I did not find any satisfying software for my problem even though it is a very simple problem.
I need a program for WM (omnia) with which it is possible to learn with idex cards. I should be easy to create cards on the pc and export them to your mobile device so that I can sit in the train and switch through index/file cards and learn them...does anybody know a software which is for free and provides all this. In other words...as if you have a image viewer only with changeable index lean cards.
I know there's an app for iPhone...so WM must be possible .
ty for any help
There are plenty of freeware ones you can try, some here:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-tag-education-3-date.html
Worth a download?
Yeah I know there are a few but I don't want "question - answer"...just need an app like "mental case" for the iPhone. Easy and good looking. Just a fullscreen filecard and you can switch through them easily...

Hello
the native language to learn for Android app is java but you should have OO notions before, like with C# (very similar) or C++.
