I'm porting .NET application from WM5 to WM6.5. Besides new resolution I noticed different UI behavior for start menu and title bar (caption bar). My application needs to work in kind of kiosk mode where user can't exit application and bypass our authentication. For this purpose on WM5 I was hiding start button and close button. I am using following function: SHFullScreen(hWnd, SHFS_HIDESTARTICON | SHFS_HIDESIPBUTTON); Hiding buttons kind of works on WM6.5 too, but there is another problem. User can tap on the title bar (menu bar, caption bar - I'm not sure what is proper name for it - the bar

Here's some background on what I'm trying to do: Open a serial port from a mobile device to a Bluetooth printer. Send an EPL/2 form to the Bluetooth printer, so that it understands how to treat the data it is about to receive. Once the form has been received, send some data to the printer which will be printed on label stock. Repeat step 3 as many times as necessary for each label to be printed. Step 2 only happens the first time, since the form does not need to precede each label. My issue is that when I send the form, if I send the label data too quickly it will not print. Sometimes I get

I have a custom UserControl (a label and a textbox). My problem is I need to handle the key down, key up events to navigate between controls in the form ( .NET Compact Framework textbox, combobox, etc). With the controls provided by the .NET Compact Framework framework it works, but when I reach a usercontrol written by me, that control don`t get focus (the textbox inside get the focus) so from this usercontrol I cannot navigate because in the panel I don't have any control of who have focus. A little mock up : Form->Panel->controls -> on keydown event (using KeyPreview) with a foreach I check

How would I go about obtaining the GPS cordinates in a windows mobile application? The sample app that comes with the SDK doesnt seem to work. I also have the wm 6.5 SDK which I heard had GPS stuff but I cant find it. Let me know if you have any good examples. Go with GPS.Net . It's an excellent library, very easy to use and compatible with a whole pile of hardware implementations. We used it for Windows Mobile and Windows Xp/Vista versions of an application. As of WCE 5.0 microsoft includes a gps intermediate driver which sits in front of the devices gps device and provides an api for

In UWP, how can I access the thread object? I want to change the name of the main thread and additional thread that I will manage. I also want to check if the current thread is the main thread afterwards. I'm targeting to windows 10 mobile. The following code example works for desktop, but not for phone (getting 'System.DllNotFoundException'): [DllImport("kernel32.dll")] static extern IntPtr GetCurrentThread(); Thanks.
