Visual Basic :: Evb And Mobile 2003 Second Edition

Need Advice On A Choosing A VB Compiler For A PPC Mobile 2003 Application
Hi all,

I'm writing some simple data entry programs to run on some PPCs running Windows Mobile 2003. These will need to communicate with another program running on a nearby PC. The amount of data I'm transfering is small so I won't need Wi-Fi, I'm planning to use Bluetooth.

I've done most of my programing in C but I need to do this project in VB because it's the prefered language in my current company and I need to get Visual Basic on my resume.

I could learn VB 6.0 (which everyone here is using) but then I believe I'll need some third party software from AppForge Crossfire, Resco or mEnable ($300-$1000) to make the program to run on Mobile 2003. Am I right? (Windows CE and PPC 2002 are not options)

I believe that if I learned VB.NET I could download SDK for Windows Mobile 2003-based Pocket PCs for free (see link below). Is that all I would need? Are they giving this away to promote .NET?

What about embedded Visual Basic? What is that for and do I need it?

Are there other options I should consider?

Also, I've heard so many people complain about switching from VB6 to VB.NET that I'm wondering if I'd be better off just learning VB.NET and not even bothering with VB6.

Thanks for your feedback,

Jonathan

Visual Studio .Net 2003 Enterprise Edition
Hi,
I'm lost right now...
I used 'Visual Studio 2005 Beta Home' to make a small application.
But since the computer i want to use it on has .Net 2003 installed I get a
version error.
This probably has to do with the framework version wich is 1.1 with 2003 en
2.something with 2005.
So I can use a computer wich has Visual Studio . Net 2003 Enterprise edition
on it.
but now if I try to build a application with even the most simple commands
it gives errors.

for instance:
I try to switch from one form to another.
In 2005 i used:

Form1.Hide()
Form2.Show()

But if I use this in 2003 Enterprise edition i get:
Form1.vb(59): Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference.

Do I have to do something else because I have a more advanced .Net 2003
enterprise version instead of my .Net 2005 home version?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Navigation Buttons Do Not Pass To Form In Windows Mobile 2003
Hi,

We have a quite complicated Evb app (30 forms and three modules!) controlling a laboratory instrument. This has worked very well using Mips based devices running CE 3.0. These are now very scarce so I have moved it all to one running an X Scale processor and Windows Mobile 2003 SE. Everything works fine with minor tweaks apart from the fact that the the keyboard events that I used to navigate controls on many forms from the machines Joystick, do not work any more (apart from on "standard multi button Message Boxes" and the enter Key which always passes to the control with the focus).

As a test, I created a simple form with four command buttons and no code at all for joystick navigation.

On a CE 3.0 device, the the Cursor Wheel and Up/Down buttons moves the focus in the tab order and rolls over at the top or bottom straight out of the box. However, on a device with Windows Mobile 2003 SE, you can hear the clicks from the knobs but the focus does not tab through the buttons at all. Only the Enter/Action Key works on the button that has the focus.

I can directly control the focus directly from the code that handles the joystick input but keeping track of which form is visible and if the user touches the screen and changes it is a nightmare compared with the original which was simple and foolproof!

Does anyone know if this is a "Feature" of the later OS with Evb and if there is a simple workaround?

Thanks for any help.

Reading/Import Data From Excel 2003 File And Write/export To Access 2003 Database
I'm developing Database System using MS Access 2003
As the old data are all in Excel format, I'd like to add a function into the system so that operator import old data from Excel file into the Access 2003. But i do not know how to write data into Access Database using dataset object

I have write the follwing code to read data from Excel file:

Code: Public Sub import_from_excel()

Cannot Log Into Exchange 2003 In Program, But Outlook 2003 Works Ok For That Account
I have an error when trying to log into outlook accounts in my vb6 program. I do not have a problem logging into these same accounts using outlook 2003. I have googled and found most of the solutions refer to wsock32.dll is missing. I have a wsock32.dll file. And that also would not explain why I can log in to the accounts on our exchange server using outlook 2003.

Converting Word 2003 Table To Excel 2003 With VBA
I'm working on inputting project summary data into a spreadsheet.
The data is arranged in tables in Word 2003.
I've created sheets to store the information.

Currently, I have a form where the user specifies the path of the summary .doc file. Conversion is done thru VBA code
How do I get a specific piece of data into a specific field?

I'm thinking of crushing it into a text file and reading the field=value pairings.

I've zipped a sample summary and my .xls file

My manager wishes to automate the data entry process as much as possible

ANY help is greatly appreciated

How I Can Read My Sms Mobile From The PC ?

Going Mobile
Hi Guys

Not sure if this is the right place nor indeed what exactly the question is but ....

I have a VB6 application which I've developed over the last 5 years & use every day. It consists of 4 or 5 screens & involves a shell to perl which retrieves data off the net and stores it in files for subsequent processing. The code is pretty crude.... as everytime I hit a new problem which wasn't in my VB book , i would come on to places like this to get the answers from helpful gurus & I quite often used different methods and constructs just as an exercise , when maybe there were more efficient and straightforward ways of achieving the same end.

Anyway , the application is great and gives me endless enjoyment .......but ultimately i would love to go mobile & presumably this would also involve miniaturisation . So my questions are really :

is this in any way possible ?
where do I start ?
can you just buy any pda and somehow start trying to put your application on it?
How do you even begin to miniaturise forms ?

Is the only way forward to adopt a totally new platform ...if so , can I somehow convert the current code without a rewrite ?

Are there some books or websites that can help me ?

If its impossible , fine ....I stay grounded ...but presumably there are many more years of development in front of me if there is a way forward !!?*!!

TIA

Hello
I have a program written in VB6 on PC side, which request a connection to Mobile PC Program(Written in VB.NET, Samsung Q1). This is a program just like a chatroom.
I can make connection with PC and PC paltform. But I can't connect to Mobile PC. I checked the state of winsock in VB6, and it always shown in 6 (Connecting).
On the moblie PC side, I used netstat -a to confirm the port used by my program was on. It means that it is ready for new connection request(?)
But I always encounted the above problem. Are there any special setting on Moblie PC? I already turned off firewall, UAC. Or is there any different coding in VB?

Connecting More Than One Mobile
Hi everybody,

Platform information :

Technology : GSM
OS : Windows XP Service Pack 2.
Mobile Model : Motorola L2
Driver Software : Widcomm
Bluetooth Dongle: X-Micro Bluetooth 2.0 Plus

I am not able to connect more than one motorola mobile at a time.
Whenever I connect the mobile it automatically connects via Dial-up Networking and takes one COM Port.(It didn't show serial port option). If I connect another motorola mobile, It takes the same COM port and connects via DUN connection. Now I need n number of different ports for n number of mobiles. So Now I can connect only one motorola mobile at a time. I tried in Hyperterminal (by opening 2 or more instances of hyperterminal and giving the same COM port, it shows "Another program is using the selected Telephony device"). Any solution? please help me.

Dll And Mobile Problems
I have a 3210 Nokia mobile phone and i would like to have a communication mobile-pc. I have found many programs that do that but i did never found one that doesn't have problems with characters non-english.I have found althouth a dll that can communicate with the mobile. With "Depends" program that comes with vc++ i can see what procedures the dll containes...but my problem is that i don't know their parameters and theri "returns".
So, if somebody can help me, my questions are 2.
A)Is there a way to "see" the parameters of the procedures the dll include?

B)Is there some code(vb or c) that i can use to communicate with the mobile?Any tutorial?
Thanx in advance(and sorry for my english)

VB And Windows Mobile 5.0?
Hi all!

One of my customers asked me if I could make an application for a PDA (maybe even a cellphone) with Windows Mobile 5.0, which displays some information it receives from a MySQL database over a wireless LAN.

Nothing more then that.

Now I have quite some experience with Visual Basic 6, but the newer .NET versions are totally unknown to me and I have no experience at all in programming for mobile devices. (I'm quite pro if it comes to programming in general though).

Could someone tell me what would be required to create such an application? Can it be done with the (free) Express edition of Visual Basic.NET or should I purchase a full version?

The application sounds simple... I assume the LAN connection is available for Windows and that I could thereby connect to the MySQL database through ODBC quite easy, but are there be obstacles I haven't thought off yet?

The application will run on a specific mobile device, so there is no need to make it work on different appliances.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

Thank you!

So ... the problem is that I want to load a mesh from a file or just create it using custom points, but how? the only thing I've managed to do is create ready objects such as boxes spheres and so on.

Thanks

MsComm For SMS From PC 2 Mobile Is Driving Me Mad.
There are a lot of messages about this subject. And yes, I did use the search-option and yes, I have tried to find the solution for a few days in a row now.

Even though I cannot figure out why this thing is not working.

First of all I take care of the modem settings:

MSComm1.CommPort = 1
MSComm1.Handshaking = comRTS
MSComm1.InputLen = 0
MSComm1.Settings = "9600,N,8,1" (And I have also tried lower speed)
MSComm1.PortOpen = True

After that I take care of the connection:

MSComm1.Output = "AT DT 0653141414" & vbCrLf (This is my CSCA)

As soon as I am connected I receive the message "CONNECT 9600". Seems OK to me.

And then I guess I should be ready to send the SMS:

MSComm1.Output = "AT+CMGF=1" & Chr(13)
MSComm1.Output = "AT+CMGS=" & Chr(34) & "+31612345678" & Chr(34) & Chr(13)
MSComm1.Output = "test OK " & Chr(26)
MSComm1.PortOpen = False

However, after getting connected nothing happens. At the most I can get a CommEvent "comEvCD".

I have to make that connection with my CSCA before sending the SMS, right? Nobody told me, but it seems normal to me....

Is here anybody who worked this out? I've searched many forums on the web but I didn't find a working sample. Nothing is wrong with the modem, nothing is wrong with the numbers. I can do this job with third party software and the same settings.

Does anybody have a working sample project? I've seen many smart answers (and even more questions), but nobody told how to do this exactly.
