or opengles1.1

I reckon you'd be able to create one using Visual Studio 2008/2010 (you can get the express version for free from Microsoft, but I don't know if this would do windows mobile stuff too - I use Visual Studio 2008 Professional which does have the option, I just haven't got around to making anything though!)
You would need an SDK I'm sure, any info is probably on the Microsoft website as it would need to be based around Windows Mobile (given that's the operating system it will be running on).
Best of luck though, I'll look forward to what you come up with!

what Visual Studio should i get

i want to learn and start making software for wm5 which Visual Studio should i get
i am on this page http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/ am i on the wrong page or could some one tell me which one to download or give me i direct link thanks
***bump***
Visual studio express edition does not support mobile devices.
You would need the full VS 2005 and that costs a lot. (Not that great either. My work station is 2.4GHz with 256MB RAM and it almost kills it).
What you should get is the free eVC 4 + service pack 4 + WM 2003 SDK.
Any program written with that will work fine on WM 5 and you can always manually unpack and add the WM 5 SDK if you want easy access to some extra APIs (very few of those).
levenum thanks but the cost doesnt matter as i have a little friend called emule am sure he will help me out
and my pc's spec is a bit higher than yours but i think i will take your advice as i like to muilty task thanks m8
Get any Visual Studio 2005 edition just not Express.
Visual studio 2005 pro.. install it, and after that go to msdn website search for Windows mobile 5.0 SDK download it and install it..
Pocket PC programming
Try SYSBASE Pocketbuilder. It's a lot quicker to get things done. I have both products and we do most things in pocket builder now.

I use Visual Studio 2005 Profession Edition and I run it on my desktop which is a 3Ghz, 512MB RAM machine and it runs really quickly.

How to create apps for Windows Mobile device...

So I'm interested in trying to create an application for my Windows Mobile device, a tilt. It doens't have to be anything grand, for that matter a simple calculator will sufice..
Is there a noob guide for dummies that would kind of spell out the process of building the app then deploying the app to my phone?
Anyone have some source code they would be willing to share?
I'm familiar with VB but not vb.net, I have vb.net 2002 available but worry it's too outdated???
I'm hoping you guy's can shed some light on some start to finish guidelines.
Thanks.
TW,
I'm quite interested in this question too
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 + C#, works great.
I do not like VB (anymore), but I think it's worth upgrading, 2002 -> 2008, there've been new .NET versions and so on ... I'd use a newer version.
Visual Studio 2005 + VB.NET over here. Works great. Though I'd like to upgrade to .NETCF 3.5 asap.
Please use the search, this question has been asked several (or a lot of) times before.
Hey I program with VB.Net over Visual Studio 2005
You will need an additional SDK for your phone too:
for wm6 you find it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...3a-a651-4745-88ef-3d48091a390b&displaylang=en
then you can select it when you create a new project, see here

Rhapsody, any links that you could provide? are you referring to creating/compiling an app for WM6 or the golf application?
Anyone have some basic source they might like to provide? something with GPS using the "GPS Intermediate Driver" would be excellent... it sure would help to get the ball rolling.

The MSDN is what you need.
http://www.msdn.com (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/nl-nl/library/bb847935(en-us).aspx)
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/nl-nl/windowsmobile/default(en-us).aspx - Windows Mobile
http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn - MSDN Forums (has also a subforum for Mobile Devices)
The MSDN contains tons of information and a lot of quick start samples as well.
Thanks for the replies guys.
I'm a little confused on the different software packages that Micrsoft has available, .NET and Visual Studio, Professional, Team, etc...
Does Visual Studio 2005 include all that is needed? What's the difference between VS 2005 and VS 2008?
Thanks,
[EDIT]
I wanted to post back with a link I found for anyone else interested - hxxp://www.devx.com/wireless/Article/31198 it's a good article on creating setup files for your mobile device. If I can find something in VB with regard to GPS positioning and VS 2005 I think I've got a start...

Yup i had the same issue, I couln't find a place where it was clearly mentioned what was needed and how to start.
Then I came across this program : basic4ppc
It's easy and not too expensive, they have a trial version available
the only drawback to the trial vesion you can only simulate the program, exporting to exe file doesn't work, you'll have to buy the program.
I liked it so much I bought it
cool, giving it a go now

Get Visual studio 2008, you can actually get visual studio 2008 professional for free if you are a student, mainly in the US, but also abroad... check the microsoft vs 2008 website, cant remember the link
The other free version, visual studio 2008 express is useless to you since it will not do pocketpc/smartphone development
Or you can get a trial copy of VS 2008
Once you have it., you can create a new project, and you can select the pocketpc/smartphone type and you will be off to development land....

QT for windows mobile 6.1

Hi guys
Im a student in ICT and I'm starting to get to know qt a bit now.
I'm able to develop desktop applications. And now I would like to develop some applications for my SE xperia x1 with QT.
Anyone can help me getting started. Because QT creator doesnt support mobile yet I'm having some problems setting everything up.
I'll probably have to use visual studio so I allready installed it.
but wich SDK do I have to download? and how do I set my compilers to compile for windows mobile?
I allready searched the internet a bit but I just can't find a good tutorial or how to.

IIRC NuShrike has ported QT to WM, but I think he has left WM in favor for Symbian...

visual c/c++ on windows mobile?

Is there a program similar to visual c/c++ ,but for windows mobile?I want to make programs on my windows mobile htc?
I use the Visual Studio 2008.
Install the Windows Mobile SDK 6 plus the Emultors for Windows Mobile 6 and you will have a complete Development Environment.
The SDK Refresh Edition can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...3a-a651-4745-88ef-3d48091a390b&displaylang=en
Also the Visual Studio Express 2008 (works with it) is free. Just Google it, you can find it @ MS
While creating new projects you can then choose between several languages and tools also including visual c++, c# and visual basic.
Remember that c# and vb need the .net 3.5 framework and c++ does not!
Greetz!

What do you mean by "On my Phone"?
You can just connect your phone via active sync, set the connection to Windows CE and just start the debugger, and you can debug on your phone!
Real dev. on a phone doesnt make any sense...
There was visual basic for PPC but that is really old and outdated....and you could only do about 1/10th of what you could do with VS2003/2005/2008 has to offer.

Microsoft Automotive OS (Windows CE)

Morning everyone!
I recently bought a Cadillac CTS-V Coupe, and noticed that under information, it states the NAV system runs Microsoft Windows Automotive.
I did some recon, and found that this is a stipped down version of Windows CE? I've tried searching to see if anyone has done any hacking, I've seen a few basic mods/hacks, but nothing crazy like the stuff xda-devs push out...
Just wondering if there's been any work done on this? Any cool hacks?
So, you want to "hack" Windows (Embedded) Automotive (7), which is part of Microsoft's Windows Embedded family? What do you mean with "hack"? Please specify.
There is not, and there will probably never be a "hacker" or "modder" scene around devices running Windows Automotive, as all the SDKs are closed to the public and only acessible to manufacturers who signed a deal with Microsoft. There is no way of really adding functionality to these systems for a hobbyist, and even if there was of course it would validate any and all warrantys on the device.

I was just wondering if any work had maybe been done. I'm not familiar with the OS as you can tell. But from my previous experience in the Windows Mobile land and some hacking I've seen in the past on devices that ran CE I was just wondering if anything had been done...
I know there's been a few minor hacks and mods (re: interface changes, animations, pictures, voice prompts, map side-loading, etc...). But that's all I've read so far...

Windows Automotive is based on Windows Mobile, not on Windows CE. Perhaps 'unlockers' developped for Windows CE might do it, who knows?

I read that it runs a Windows CE kernel, also read that it uses a lot of stuff that Windows Mobile uses... Main interest would be to see if it's possible to load up a complete Windows GUI (like what people did for the HTC Shift)...
I have a cts-v as well and I'm hoping to play with the latest nav software update disc (2012) when I receive it tomorrow. I know some have converted it to usb so it doesn't take 2-3 hours to update your system. I'm also wanting to see if I can do some mods/hacks/tweaks to it just to play around. Can you point me in the right direction on the mods/tweaks you've read about? Of course I'd just like to start out with images/sounds/slash screen stuff first.

Wondering if anyone ever did anything with these... I just bought one myself in my '09 CTS-4 . You can remove the hard drive and image it to your local hard drive and I have seen where people have been able to access the files within. Since Windows Mobile Auto is related to Windows mobile you should be able to use some of the same tools you would use with Windows Mobile. My understanding is that it is not a stripped down but a supped up version to support additional hardware and functionality. .Net code is byte code that is run by the runtime in standard windows and is easy to decode and reconstruct the source code. I am guessing windows Mobile is similar. You should be able to reconstruct enough that you can use the standard .DLL from windows mobile auto in a regular windows mobile development environment then just copy the finished file over... In theory anyhow... I have seen information that it may require signing but I am not sure that signing was necessary with Windows Mobile 5. I will be tearing apart my new NAV system before I install it to see what I can access in it.
Did you find anything? I'm looking to "hack" my 2011 Fusion Sport w/ Nav. Runs on similar platform based on my research.
