Re: Mozilla Windows CE Development

Hi Doug,

This sounds great. A while back I had to write a wrapper around the
Pocket Internet Explorer control to program around the various bugs
that PIE had/still has at the time. How I wished for a open source
browser then.

It's been some time since I pulled out eVC++ but I do remember the
aggravation of the Start Menu problem. Obviously you'd think that
adding a short cut to the \Windows\Start Menu directory would take care
of things. Unfortuately from PPC2002 on the number of items in the menu
is fixed. So for the iPAQ 63xx HP has beaten you it by adding in a
bunch of irrelevant items - is the bluetooth manager still 3rd on the
list? Previous to PPC2002 the start menu just scrolled...

So you could remove a few items from the Start Menu directory, be sure
there are equivalents in the Programs sub-directory.

Here is the short-cut format if you didn't already know:

60#"\Program Files\Accessories\defBrowser.exe" http://127.0.0.1

Where 60 is the character count, a '#' separator, then path to command
and args

NB: It seems that you can't copy a shortcut file with File Explorer
from a PC, or if you can be sure to tell me how. I ended up creating
this file with PocketWord, saving it as text then changing the
extension from txt to lnk with FileExplorer on the PC - what a hassle.

I'll download your code and see if there is anything I could add. I
remember writing a little piece that resized the app when the SIP (the
virtual keyboard) popped up so I'll see if you are handling that.

Regards,
Chris
