Hey, I am interested in creating an application that logs all incoming and outgoing calls on the different mobile operating systems. It would log the following: A. The number it came from. B. Outgoing or incoming. C. Time of call. D. Duration of call. How can this be achieved in windows mobile? What API should i be reading about to "intercept phone calls"? Thanx.

Hey Guys, If I want to know the process ID of the window that currently has focus then I call GetForegroundProcessID().... I am trying to think of the best way to capture a change in the focused window. I could create a systemhook on WH_CALLWNDPROC and search for a WM_ACTIVATE or WM_FOCUS message and check the process to whom it's being sent. or I could poll every x seconds and check who the window in focus is. Is there any option that I am not thinking of that won't hurt my perfomance like system hooks will?

The truth is that you guys are right.... The basic idea should be to connect to a web service that shoves either pictures\animated gifs or flash clips to play at certain intervals and the application presents the data... Pictures and animated gifs should be no problem... what about more complicated banners (flash clips) - how are those "normally" played in c# .net applications.

Requirements - I am writing a c#.net application that needs to desplay banners in parts of the screen. That is the basic idea. It's hard for me to say what the technical requirement is. If I attach to a web service from a desktop application what technology would I use to display a banner?

Hey Guys, Has anybody implemented banners\ads in an application before? How would you recommend accomplishing this? What is the accepted industry standard of feeding ads into a program?

Is there a way to insert a video\animation into a c# application that is officially supported by the .net framework (meaning I won't be dependent on a third-party component)?

If I go to internet explorer and try to visit the following domain: www.afajsoifjaoigjasodjodsifjosaijfdsadfk.com I get a 404 error page that the domain does not exist. If I have the goolgetoolbar installed then google offers me to search there search engine and also suggests other domain names that do exist. I want to know how this is done? Can I set another domain name that internet explorer goes to if the domain does not exist?

Hey Guys, When I insert an incorrect domain then I get a 404 error page. If I have google toolbar installed then it offers me a search option. I am interested in neither. I want to set the domain that my internet explorer goes to if I visit a domain that does not exist. Does anyone have a clue how this can be acheived?

Thank you for the perfect answer ;).

If I create a .net application is it fully compatible with a 64 bit OS or do I need to compile it specifically for this task? I lack knowledge in this specific area and would gladly accept references...

I asked the user to set internet explorer as his default navigator instead of firefox and he was finally able to run it correctly. There is something that I just don't understand though... I have tried reproducing the problem by installing firefox and setting it as the default browser and this doesn't happen to me. I don't have FFClickOnce installed there... So why does the error not occur? Also, I have many users that use firefox and don't have the problem.. 1. Why do some users with firefox encounter the problem and others don't??? 2. Is there a complete recommended solution that is user-friendly? 3. Does upgrading to Visual Studio 2008 solve the problem? If it does do I have to upgrade to the .net framework 3.5 or can I use .net framework 2.0 with VS2008 to solve the problem?

Did I post this in the correct forum? Does anybody have a clue?

Hey guys, I have an application which has hundreds of succesfull downloads a month using the ClickOnce technology. I received an angry mail from a user who is unable to download the application. I have copied the message he recieves at the bottom of this post. I don't understand why the download paths are all messed up during his download. Instead of searching for the files on our website the installation seems to be looking for the files locally.... Why is that? I repeat we have hundreds of users that are downloading with no problem. I started to think that maybe this was a competitor that was just trying to drive me insane!!!

Hey Mike, Hope you enjoyed the cold one. So I would use this tool to edit the MSI of the dotnetfx.exe? Michael

Hey Mike, Funny, my name is Mike too... Quoting the link you sent me: "You can then modify the Prerequisites dialog (off of the Publish tab from your project designer, or the setup project property page) to "Download prerequisites from the following location" to the appropriate location." I don't think that the author meant that you can modify the prerequisites dialog itself. I think he meant that you can modify the prerequisites dialog - the dialog responsible for controlling the clickonce from within the visual studio 2005 developers IDE. You have an option from the visual studio to state that the prerequisite will be taken from the official website (microsoft) or "Download prerequisites from the following location" - a location of your choice. As you can see, I defintely read what you sent me and would never dismiss a friend's offer for help ;). Bottom line - he was not talking about configuring the installation\clickonce dialog that the user sees. He was talking about where the prerequisite is taken from. I hope I am clear about what I mean. So... Does anybody have any creative ideas? I am feeling kinda dumb at the moment ;)?

Hey, Once again thank you for taking the time to search for an answer. I believe you quoted this part of the link: Alternatively, you could host all relevant packages internally on some share or server. You can then modify the Prerequisites dialog (off of the Publish tab from your project designer, or the setup project property page) to "Download prerequisites from the following location" to the appropriate location. Unfortunately he is only referring to changing the settings so that dotnetfx is downloaded from a local path instead of from the official website of microsoft dotnetfx. I am searching to add a custom dialog to show up before the prerequisite dotnetfx.exe. Sorry for being a pest. Anybody have any creative ideas?

I saw this resource... It's a good idea to have the webpage with the installation notify the user that he will need .net.... It's not what I am looking for, I would like the program itself to do this. I do appreciate the links though. Any ideas?

First of all, thank you for the great link with a huge amound of resources... I have spent the last few hours going through them and have not found an answer to my question. Is there anyway to control the dialogs shown throughout the clickonce installation? Is there a way to edit the bootstap attached to the dotnetfx.exe? Anybody have a creative idea?

Hey Guys, I have a .net application that obviously has the .net framework as a prerequisite. Using Visual Studio 2005 & .net Framework 2.0. If a user has .net framework installed then I have no problem because only my application is installed. If the user does not have the .net framework installed then he is automatically notified that .net framework must be installed. For an untrained user this can be an alarming message. Does anybody know of a technique in which I can show the user a custom message of my own before the .net framework installation runs? Thanks, Michael mjmimmm@hotmail.com

Hey Guys, I have a working program that uses SetWindowsHook to capture low level keyboard messages of my pocket pc. This only captues the hardware buttons. I want to hook the stylus tapping the screen. How can this be done? Can it be done with SetWindowsHook? Michael mjmimmm@hotmail.com
