I use VS 2005 with WM 5 SDK and .NET CF 2.0.
My App capture GPS data from a bluetooth gps device. For this I use the

I would like to *not* disable the audio playing on when the Microsoft Dialer
app places/receives a call.  Is there a way to do this?  Currently in WM5,
once a call is detected(outgoing or incoming) ALL other audio is disabled.

Is there some (step by step) tutorial, how to build simple (.Net) app for
Pocket PC (Windows Mobile 2003 OS), using VS 2003?

I am beginner in PocketPC development. Can you tell me what is the
difference between Windows CE and Windows Mobile? Is Windows CE older and
surpassed OS with far less functionality then Windows Mobile?

Recently I am involved in a project about digital video monitoring.
With a software called 'Digi-Watcher' and a webcam connected to my pc,

Under C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce420\POCKET PC
2003\Support\httpserver I have 10 directories such as 0c0a thru 0804 how do
I know which one to install as they all contain the file
HTTPServer.PPC2003ARM.MS.PocketPC.CAB with the same creation date and time.

I'm opening an RFCOMM connection with a GPS receiver, using CreateFile as
though it were a serial port.  One of my beta testers mentioned a problem
with it hanging at that point, needing a soft reset, on his iPaq hx4700.  
On my Garmin iQue M5, though, it works fine every time.

   I wanted to know what is the architecture on which the OS is running..
viz., MIPS, ARM etc?

I have a small window that is of size 16x16 px. I also have
an icon resource with two sizes: 16x16 and 32x32. On non-VGA devices,
when I use DrawIcon() the 16x16 icon gets drawn and everything look good.
However, as you already know, on VGA devices, WinCE resizes this window

I'm trying to write a Today Screen Plug-in targeting Windows Mobile
2003  and 5.0...  This is a DLL that must have an entry point, so I'm
relegated to a non-managed solution. The Memory Watcher example that
comes with the PPC SDK is written in Win32/C++ so I've been working

The Palm Treo 700w uses Windows Mobile, Phone Edition.  Is it possible
to run a program developed with EVC3.0 on this device, provided my
application is aware of the 240 x 240 screen size by getting the
system metrics and sizing windows accordingly?  This same application

I am working on an application which needs to wakeup periodically do some
work and then goto sleep. For this I am using the CESetUserNotificationEx API
to call an exe at a particaular time. This exe then set's itself for future

Is it possible to show animated gifs in .NET CF?

I'm using a compaq iPAQ 3760 running Pocket PC 2002 (Version 3.0.11171 Build
11178).
I had a .net 1.1 application reunning on it (ALthough I built in in Visial
studio 2005).

I've read all usenet posts, forum threads and all other resources I could
find till this time and none of them demistified how the user can close all
running programs (just like in Start->Settings->Memory->Stop Running
Programs). Here's my solution based on all those resources ...
