Pocket PC Forum / End Users / Pocket PC / September 2005How can I find out whether HPC2000 or WinCE3.0 is installed in a device?
Hello, I wrote a test program to obtain Device Information from the Handheld device. The functions that I use are 1) SystemParametersInfo 2) GetVersionEx I get the same values for WinCE 3.0 and HPC2000. How can I find out whether WinCE 3.0 or HPC2000 is installed on the device?  SignatureRegards, Sami [Remove Numbers from e-mail address to use it] Sami, Windows CE 3.0 is the base OS of H/PC2000. The simplest way to look at this is H/PC2000 is a shell that runs on top of WinCE3.0. That analogy isn't perfect but describes the relationship well.

Hello Clinton, I already know that HPC2000 is just an image that runs on WinCE3.0. Still does not answer my original question about how to figure out whether the device is running WinCE3.0 or HPC2000?

Sami, Well, I'm not real sure how to say it any clearer. If it is running HPC2000, it is running WinCE 3.0.

He knows that HPC2000 is CE 3.0, but he wants to see this for himself. Encase you cannot remember how, here are the instructions. 1. Click start 2. Settings 3. Control Pannel 4. Click the system Control Pannel 5. Click the system Tab There he will see what he is looking for.

He can download the app I mentioned or I can email him. It does go into much more detail regarding the HPC system than anything built in.

But then again if you wish to see for yourself do the following. Start Settings Control pannel System Then click the system tab John > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > [Remove Numbers from e-mail address to use it] Hello everyone, Thank you for trying to help me out but I think I haven't been able to make myself clear. I already know how to figure out whether a device is using WinCE3.0 (only) or whether there is a HPC2000 running on top of it using the System Utility. What I really wanted to know is how to figure that out using C++ code?

How can I find out whether > WinCE 3.0 or HPC2000 is installed on the device? Sami, Okay, now that is a horse of a different color. :-) I had no idea you were trying to do this in C++. Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to help out much here as I'm not a developer. Hopefully others in the group can help out on your questions.

Check the 7 Feb 05 contribution from Peter Foot to a thread called "How can I tell which OS Platform a CE device is using?" in microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer. It gives info appropriate for finding the answers in a program running on a desktop. If you want to get the info from a program running on a handheld, I _think_ you can use similar registry values. Unfortunately, I can't confirm right now (several strange glitches in hardware). If you want to get info about the operating system for the computer running a program (i.e., _not_ a remote computer), use the GetVersionEx function. ----------------------------------------- To reply to me, remove the underscores (_) from my email address (and please indicate which newsgroup and message).

The returned string will be different depending on the platform. I don't have a handy list of all the different return codes, but they will be different (ie SmartPhone for smartphones, PalmPC for old pocket PCs, PocketPC for pocket PCs, etc) Regards, Nick. |
