I'm a novice C++ programmer and want to lear how to create simple applications and/or games for the Windows Mobile 2003 Pocket PC operating system. I can't seem to find any proper tutorial or set of sample code on the internet that actually steps one through the process of creating an application. Does anyone know where I can find such information? Right now, Microsoft's website only has a list of all the functions in the Windows Mobile 2003 library, but doesn't show sample code with them in use! If someone could please tell me where I could find a tutorial, step by step instructions, or a manual of some kind, I was greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance!! Also, I'm currently sticking to Windows Mobile 2003 because I only haev Visual C++ .NET 2003. If anyone has any information on Windows Mobile 5.0, that would be great as well as I may move to Windows Mobile 5.0 in the near future.

Well, I suppose I found the answer to my own question! If anyone else is wondering, the proper documentation is right here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/guide\_ppc/html/Dev\_Guide\_for\_Windows\_Mobile-Based\_PocketPCs.asp:cool:

I have Visual C++ .NET 2003, and wanted to learn how to create basic applications (and games) for the windows mobile 2003 PocketPC operating system. (I actually wanted to learn for Windows Mobile 5.0, but don't have Visual Studio 2005). Does anyone know where I can find any tutorials for this? I have very basic C++ programming knowledge. Thanks in advance!! :) -- modified at 14:47 Tuesday 8th August, 2006

Thank you so much everybody for your help! My program finally works thanks to your help!

I have a problem with this code, if anyone could please help me out, I would greatly appreciate it! I'm trying to make a program that has a certain number of 'char arrays.' When the program starts, it's supposed to randomly concatentate any of the two strings. My program has a problem in four lines of code, and I don't understand how to do it any different. Thank you for your time and help! (P.S., though this snippet of code only shows 4 different strings, my actual program will have at least 25); //Test program. The object of this program is to //have different strings randomly concatenate #include #include using namespace std; //or #include , depending on the compiler #include int main() { srand(GetTickCount()); char word[4][128]; //I want to store different strings into word[0], word[1], word[2], and word[3] word[0][128] = "word1"; //This is set of four lines is where the problem is word[1][128] = "word2"; word[2][128] = "word3"; word[3][128] = "word4"; //----end of the problem int firstword; int secondword; firstword = rand() % 4; secondword = rand() % 4; strcat(word[firstword], word[secondword]); cout << ""<< word[firstword] <<""; cin.ignore(); return 0; }

I see. But what about the letter keys. All the list says is, for example: (48) H Key; (4D) M Key How would you use that in code when trying to do something like this: if (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LEFT) < 0) { //result of key press here } Instead of using VK_LEFT, how would I use the letter "M" or the letter "H"? Thanks again!

In the Win32 API (or atleast I think it's in the Win32 API), the AsyncKeyState function can be used to see if a keyboard button is pressed. Does anyone know the code for the buttons on the keyboard? I arleady know that the arrow keys are VK_UP, VK_DOWN, VK_LEFT, and VK_RIGHT, and the "Enter" button is VK_RETURN. Thanks!
