Hi, please tell me if there is a way to make the message boxes and windows (of course some of them are outside the screen area) to force to display in screen area, not to have a part of window outside screen.
The display driver is ddi.dll.
Thanks for your help.
Unless its your windows (from your own app) no.
ddi.dll is the generic name for WM / CE display driver so it tells us nothing of the device.
If you describe your problem in more details, like the exact device, the apps that do not display properly etc. perhaps someone will be able to help.
Ok, the device is a pna running win core 5.0. Apps. that are outside are using gdi (apps which use gx are displayed normally thanks to gapi 4.0), but the others designed for 230x320 are outside (the device has display 320x240).
Ok, I think I understand what you are trying to do - you "opened" a PND and are trying to run PPC apps on it right?
Unfortunately, currently there is no way to help apps that can not adjust to screen resolution by themselves.
PNDs are intentionally limited in features and screen rotation option was removed from the driver.
Unless a program was written to take in to account the screen size (many PPC programs were not) there is no way to force it to the right resolution.
And even if it could be done (there is a theoretical way) it will always be buggy and unstable.
hi there,
i'm trying to write in C# an application as screensaver that parse the Yahoo! weather and display the istant weather..
for the parsing i've found this http://developer.yahoo.com/dotnet/howto-xml_cs.html directly from Yahoo..
there's api for the creation of screensaver?
otherwise, there's any thriks arrangements for use low memory and cpu?
i'm using an XScale 600Mhz..
and a WM 2003 XScale 200..
Thanks
there is no real screensaver std for windows CE
as screensavers were made at first to make sure
images dident burn in on crt screens
on windows where screensavers were used
they were just exe files renamed to scr
pocketpcs dont need screen savers and since the lcd
is the thing which use most power in the device most
people benefiting from having the screen turn off when they
are not using it
only real usage as i see it is if people have it in a cradle for a long
period and want the screen to show something
in facts i'm using an ppc for develop, but finally this screensaver be will used in a domotic client inside a wall..
so, i'm asking thriks for develop a program that monitors the use, and (for ex) after 5min show the weather..
so, it's work like a screensaver..
ok, no windows mobile's api for make screensaver
i may use a thread sleep
Hi all!
I'm senior C# programmer and I want to develop a Windows Mobile Application with Compact Framework, but I want develop an useful application or tool that does not already exist. I have no limitations in programming or technology (gps, bluetooth, web services, ecc.).
Any idea/suggestion for this new app? Is there any application that is missing?
hey how about a touch guitar for the ppc..the one like we have in nokia 5800..there is a touch piano(known as omniano) for ppc but no touch guitar..!
What about a proper barcode reader/interpreter using the built-in camera? There are some tentative software but no trully good one out there. Could be good for personal databases like book collection.

Yea! I know! But it is no good! If what you are after is an idea that nobody had before, than I think it will be very difficult.
Here's an idea that might be something handy you could knock out fairly quickly: a battery drain indicator. An app that polls your battery life and generates a report telling the current rate of decrease (and maybe indicates what other applications are running and how often the backlight was on).
It'd be darn useful for trying to gauge the effect different ROMs and apps have on battery life.
There is no DLNA app for windows mobile as far as i know.
Would be good just to have one that can get pics, videos, music from over dlna machines.
Or as above a app that moniters battery drain to see the worse apps and roms for battery

I second this. I've started one, but it's pretty ugly, slow and buggy as I'm in no way a C# developer and I have no time to complete it. There are several battery monitors out there, but neither of them are really usefull.
If you are interested, PM me, I can share some further ideas.
A finger friendly message app instead of wm ugly tiny inbox, outbox etc

Hmm, a killer WM app? Well, I would imagine that it has to be something unique, and fairly difficult to create on other platforms or, hell, just the Windows Mobile platform.
Meh, the best idea I can come up with are these:
1) A GPS software that displays street level navigation (sort of like what was shown in Sony's new NV-U3DV).
2) A Hulu player
3) A program that scales programs/games not designed to work on a particular resolution
My, this was surprisingly difficult to think of.

Quote it!!! A real finger friendly msg app (a simple mail/sms client) will be the top!!
D'rath
how about a directory assistance program like they had on palm.
when someone calls u it automatically tells u who is calling giving the persons address and info
Killer App, how about something that ties Windows mobile together...not some much a launcher or something like but something that smooths everything out.
Maybe a simple program that transitions the screen of current gen devices to make landscape to portrait smoother.
Maybe a cool task manager is smooth and dynamic...(opengl) that flows through the open programs similar to Coverflo (this would be amazing) mix that with functionality.
How about when you open a new program, there is an onscreen popup that shows whats opening while the app is loading up. Similar to Opera or Winterface.
Maybe a unique Locksystem different from S2u2 and G1 Locker...Something graphical and beautiful. I love the growing panel and the fish panel for xperia, having something like that for a locker would be amazing....
I have dozens of ideas. but I'd say..
Music player=covered by S2P, Kinoma, Nitrogen
Pictureviewer=covered by imageviewer, s2v
Shells= too many to name
Iphoney= ad nauseum
I think we should be focus on making PPC more functional...That SMS app is really worth the time an effort as well.

This would be cool, although being a Windows user, I'd rather it be like Aero Flip than like Coverflow.
If you haven't seen it, check out TaskFacade -- it's more like Expose than Coverflow, but it's still a great app switcher with decent eye candy.
I've tried TaskFacade...love it..but it would be awesome to have a full blown beautiful app. I don't know if you've ever played around with Pocket Cm ImageViewer its amazingly beautiful. The way it displays pictures and how fingerfriendly it is it would be awesome to have taskmanager that flowed that smooth. Flick up on the application to end it, click on it to go to it. Would be amazing

Id love to have a Hulu Player but also would kill for a free Xbx Live app but i guess tht alrdy exist but the Hulu player is very orginal...Nice idea 8525Smart and i also like option 2
how about an onscreen semi-transparent dpad that can be toggled via a button on all apps? That way for phones without dpads or with dpads hat are not functional (touch pro) you can still use a dpad. This would help in gaming but also basic navigation.
You might consider putting your talents towards the finger friendly SMS application in the Development and Hacking section. They have nonfunctional, graphics only alpha versions, but they need developers to actually get the application functional. There's even a $275 bounty.

Thank you. Yes, with a Hulu player, the multimedia experience on Windows Mobile would pretty much be complete (at least for me).
Regarding the Xbox Live app, I did find one if you want it: http://ts.zumobi.net/partner_pages/partner/xbox
Hello all! Especially developers
As you know, there's a nice application that is called "LeoCPUspeed" that is used to manage the cpu speed of HD2.
However, this is manual and cannot be manipulated automatically.
I'll explain:
As far as i know, there is an application for the HD that can manipulate the cpu speed automatically, e.g. for example cpu speed 20% when phone is idle, 50% speed when the phone is half idle (when backlight drops to half after some seconds) and 100% speed when the phone is awake! (and % supposing can be customized for personal use)
Why not to develop such an important application for the HD2! It will save a lot of battery and preserve the cpu for a longer period (I suppose so).
I don’t know if there is such an application but I guess it’s very useful and important.
I guess developers, can take for instance the “LeoCPUspeed” application for instance and modify it to do such a task without bugs or lacks (if they don’t want to develop such an application from scratch).
Just wanted to improve with good intentions ,
Regards,

The Leo CPU already automatically scales now. This app is just for fun and to make some manual changes.
FYI, the HTC guy had already created this and the app is already installed in your phone.

lol i thought exactly the same while reading first couple of lines
really man, you have got this on your phone(unless your cook had fun with that)
it is actually more advanced, and also scales by load on processor-going up to 998mHz
I've got this problem ever since I switched to Windows Mobile 6.5 builds. Java applications executed by Jbed begin to resize themselves after some time. It's almost as WinMo is losing focus of this app - suddenly top and bottom bar of WinMo appears, screen is a little bit resized.
Anyone had an issue like this one?
Do u check all version from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407667
??
Yes. I already tried them all.
Here is my thoughts.
You indicate that the size reduces over time. which implies its fine at first.
I suspect that your running a java app that is setting the java parameters and hence reducing them in the process.
Try 1 new java app at a time, then see which one could be causing that!
I know that some apps are made for QVGA screens or smaller (like for Nokia phones) and those will always display small if its built for one of those devices specifically.
Alternatively check this thread and see if it helps with the settings.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439989
