programing

I have learned a decent foundation of C++ general programming and I would like to continue in a Windows Mobile-oriented direction. I downloaded and installed eMbedded Visual C++ as well as service pack 3 and the WM 2003 SDK. Aparently, the standard libraries that I am used to are not present. I have searched google for tutorials for eMbedded/windows mobile newbie programmers with not much in results. I am looking mostly for a tutorial on the available libraries. Maybe a guide through a "Hello World" program for Windows Mobile programming. If anyone has links, I would be eternally grateful.
(I am still pretty new to programming in general, so I may need to ask for clarification

)
Thanks in advance

*Moved to developers corner*

Look in the C:\Windows CE Tools\wce300\Pocket PC 2002\samples\
directory, if you like MFC then use the MFC directory, otherwise
lots of good samples in the Win32 dirctory.

Ok, but does anyone have any real tutorials? Or a good book?

Hi everybody,

I have tried to make evt2002web_min.exe on my PC but it demands a serial number i haven't.

Someone programming with C# (C sharp) + #Develop
(http://www.icsharpcode.net/) ?

Best regards from Corsica - France

The serial number can be found on the webpage where you downloaded the emBedded Visual Tools program. It is toward the bottom of the page.

Unfortunately, there is not that much out there on the web for eVC++ programming. Your best resource will be the MSDN eVC++ language reference. You can pull it up easily just by going to the Help > Contents menu in eVC++ 4. MSDN language references are always a great help to look up standard functions, calls, references, etc.

Does it HAVE to be .net to work on WM 2003?

Celes · 08-18-04, 02:13 PM

yes, it works on WM 2003 and SE

For WM2003 compatibility, you should develop your applicaitons using either eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 (or Visual Studio .NET 2003, for non C++ languages).

If you want to develop VB apps for WM2003 without using .NET, you can still use eMbedded Visual Tools 3.0 to develop them. However, this will require any WM2003 users of your software to manually install the eMbedded Visual Basic Runtime for WM2003 from Microsoft's website.

So for the best results in PPC development.....
For WM2003: Use eVC++ 4.0 for C++ apps, and VS.NET 2003 for .NET apps
For PPC2002: Use eVB 3.0 for VB apps or eVC++ 3.0 for C++ apps

Thank you.

I use embedded Visual Tools 3.0 (C++) for my PPC Development, all
the apps have worked great in PPC2002, 2003 and 2003 SE.

K, but how do you learn to write the programs? It dosen't use the same header files as when writing for pc so I'm lost......

You can use eVC++ 3 (2002 edition or not) to create binaries that will run on PocketPC2000, 2002, 2003, and 2003SE. They will work on them all. You do not have to use .NET.

As for header files, writing MFC or Win32 applications for PocketPC is VERY similar to PC. There are some functions that were tossed but you can look them all up in the MSDN or PPC SDK documentation.

A Hello World for PocketPC and Hello World for PC are 'almost' identical.
