I recommed the Dell Axims. I have the 300mhz version and have the .NET CF installed on it. If I was you I would wait until the 23rd, I think, when PocketPC 2003 is released and see what Gateway is going to offer the market. I think it will probably be very competitive with the Axim in features and price. One other note about the Dells, Dell is coupon crazy and always has some type of coupon or discount. Check http://www.bensbargains.net for Dell coupons and you can get the Axims for cheap. I got mine brand new from Dell for like $170 shipped. Take care, Joshua Guy Joshua Guy

If I add a date time picker to my dialog resource for my property page the dialog fails to get created. If I create a standard dialog it all works fine. Any suggestions? Joshua Guy

Thanks. I figured out another way. In the control panel under sounds and notification you can enabled and disable sound for notification that are listed. I added to the registry an entry for my app based on it GUID and did not add the key for the name. I also set the key that tells it to play the sound to 0. Since there is no name it does not show up in the sound notification options giving the user the ability to enabled the sounds. I think this is the preferred approach because there are actually several OS notification that are in there but don't have names so they don't show up in the control panel. Also it won't interrupt an background audio playing. It's worked great for me. Joshua Guy

If I call GetSystemPowerStatusEx() right when the handheld gets turned on the BatteryFlag shows that it is charging but it is not. If I call it any other time it returns the current state. Any ideas why? Joshua Guy

Everytime I update a notification the notification beep goes off. Is there any flag to disable the notification beep on an update? Thanks. Joshua Guy

If I'm not mistaken Clinton got spritual/marriage advice from Jessie Jackson, who towards the end of Clinton's presidency admitted to having a child with a woman other than his wife, needless to say I feel much better about Bush being in office. Joshua Guy

My brother has been doing radio, tv, movies, and has recently been living in NY to try and get into acting on a large scale. Granted that no one has yet to leave the house and go on to do anything, I think he figures he might be trying to get into acting for the rest of his life, so since this came up he might as well take it. $500,000 speaks too. He actually won the first competition today so he will at least leave with $1,500 more than he went in with. Joshua Guy

Yup. My Big Bro went on Big Bro. I hope he comes out sane. Joshua Guy

On an interesting side note. My brother is Jason Guy, one of the houseguest on BB3. So I saw the show and I'm watching the live feeds too. I don't know that I'll ever sleep now. Joshua Guy

I have a Windows Form component that responds to the mouse wheel. On my test form it is the only control and works great, but in my application I have a browser control and serveral instances of that control. In this situation the control never responds to the scroll messages. I have tried setting the focus to it when the mouse enters and all sorts of other things. Any suggestions? BTW, I'm betting James knows. ;P Joshua Guy

Nish did you know that Microsoft has a link to one of your articles here? It's you article on Managed C++ and WinForms. http://windowsforms.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=2&tabid=40 It's the last in the Introduction section. Joshua Guy

If you must know. I posted the message with the following code: this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer & ControlStyles.UserPaint & ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, true); Which of course would not enable the double buffering. Neil points out my stupid mistake(which I originally had in my other test form, but a monkey came along and changed all the |'s to &'s as a nasty joke, so as you see this was clearly the monkeys fault not mine) this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer | ControlStyles.UserPaint | ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, true); So I see Neil'd observation and hit myself. Well evidently I hit my self so hard that when I went to change it I went into the source of my dummy app in which I was testing the control. So the parent form was double buffered correctly. Thinking that I had enabled it in my control I was sad. So I left it alone until now. And after a break and looking in my code again I relize that the monkeys &'s had not be changed to |'s... If it weren't for the monkey I would have been set. Joshua Guy

It's all in the Paint event. To make things worse. I copied and pasted all my code into a form and it works like a charm. I'll dig in more into the control but something isn't right with that. Joshua Guy

Sonork ID: 100.9944 ICQ: 519642 Hotmail: JoshuaJGuy@hotmail.com

DOH! Well that was part of my problems, but even with that it still flickers like crazy. I have that enabled in my Windows Form control and the parent form. Any other suggestions? Joshua Guy

Sonork ID: 100.9944 ICQ: 519642 Hotmail: JoshuaJGuy@hotmail.com

I have create a custom Windows form control and enabled the built in double buffering with: this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer & ControlStyles.UserPaint & ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, true); but this does not help my flicker problem at all... From what I have read that will work in controls, Right?.?. Joshua Guy

I'm working on one. It started out in C#, but maybe I should port it to J#(or whatever it is called) to assure a prize. :-) Count me in for 1 C# and a maybe for 1 J# entry also. Joshua Guy
