Hi, I have two Window CE applications running and I am trying to activate one from the other. I tried two different ways: grab the CWnd pointer of the other application and call BringWindowToTop (or SetWindowPos, or SetWindowActive); and the other attempt was to send the current app to the bottom of the z-order using SetWindowPos. None of these ideas seemed to work. The functions just seem to be ignored. I can cause the application forms to disappear or changes size, but the z-order I can't seem to change. Any Ideas? :confused: Paul Jahans

Hi, I am writing an application using eMbedded VC++ 4.0 (SP2) for a device running Windows CE .NET 4.0. I am reading and writing to the Registry using GetProfileInt and SetProfileInt without any problems. However, these changes are only written to the Registry heap in RAM. How do I update the Registry to storage? I have tried RegFlushKey and RegCloseKeyEx and even tried using the CRegKey::Open and CRegKey::Close. But none of these work. I keep getting cryptic error messages that do not help me. Does anyone have a working example that shows how to do this? :confused: Paul Jahans

Is there anyway to automatically run an application from a CF card when the CF card is inserted? I am writing an application using eMbedded VC++ 3.0 for WinCE 3.0. The processor I'm using ia a Pentium. :-D Paul Jahans

Can someone explain why I get a Datatype Misalignment error message when I use the ::GetDiskFreeSpaceEx function? I am getting the correct data returned but when I try to save any of the values to a variable I get this error. I've tried delcaring the variable as ULONGLONG or __ui64, but nothing works. What datatype should the variable be? and should I save the LowPart or QuadPart? I wont ever see more than 2GB of memory space. Does anyone have an example for eMbedded VC++?:confused: Paul Jahans

I have spent almost 2 days trying to create a simple csv file that I can import into Excel. But I am having trouble with UNICODE. This is very simple to do in regular VC++ for desktop PC's, but how do you generate a CSV file using eMbedded VC++? Excel, on my desktop, does not like the CSV file generated from my Window CE computer.:confused: Paul Jahans

This is very simple. I'll use this for now unless I find a more common way. Thanks for you help Chris.:-D Paul Jahans

How do I compare times using CTime. When I retreive a CTime value from the registry and compare it to the current time (using CTime::GetCurrentTime(), it also compares the dates which are several days apart. I need to compare the time part. Is there a way to mask out the date part then check if the current time is > or < the time saved in the registry?:confused: :confused: Paul Jahans

Hi, Has anyone out there have a routine that converts a Hexidecmal String to a DWORD? Paul Jahans

How do I declare a pure virtual function that has an argument list? All the examples I've seen always seem to use the simple Shape function example. Paul Jahans

The thread function is in the calling program and is declared like this: DWORD WINAPI CGUITermDoc::CommReader(void *pvData) From calling program, I call the DLL function: StartCommThread(LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE CommProc, void *pvData) In this function, I try to pass CommProc to the _beginthreadex function, but this is where I get the compile error. Paul Jahans

Hi, I'm trying to convert a line of code that calls the API CreateThread function to the _beginthreadex function, but I get the compile error: "cannot convert parameter 3 from 'unsigned long (__stdcall *)(void *)' to 'unsigned int (__stdcall *)(void *)" Parameter 3 is declared as type LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE. What type should I use to avoid this compile error? Thanks Paul Jahans

Thanks for your quick response. I'll try that. Paul Jahans

I can't seem to find any clear-cut example to enumerating the catalogs (databases) in my SQL server datasource using OLEDB. Does anyone have an example of this? Paul Jahans

I am creating a wizard using VC++ MFC, but I'm having trouble adding a bitmap header to the property sheet. My bitmap gets clipped by the property pages. What is the standard procedure to accomplish this?:confused: Paul Jahans
