I am beginner in an silverlight application. So at first i looked on demo application which is provided by wince 6.0 r3 at location
WINCE600\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\DEMOS\XAMLPERF - this contains c++ code
and
WINCE600\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\FILES\XAMLPERF - this contains xaml file with the images
Now before running this application in an emulator. I at first proceeded with the following:
I have first taken my workspace went to catalog item and added "Silverlight for Windows Embedded"
from the drop down menu of an catalog item
Then right clicked on solution explorer and choosed on properties and under configuration in drop down menu i have selected environment variables where i have added new variable called "sysgen_samplexamlperf" and assigned value as 1 for that variable.
Now after rebuiding the application, i have dumped the image into emulator and i found that at desktop of device emulator i can see the exe file to which i run and i can see the application is working fine with 3d effects.
Now same thing i proceeded in iMX31 hardware and i was not able to see the application running in a proper manner as it was performing in an emulator. So now what i feel is that there be any dependency when we run the application on hardware.
So what can be the dependency? Also in this location "WINCE600\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\FILES\XAMLPERF" the images are in png format. So is there any dependency with an image format?
Thanks and regards
Silverlight for Embedded devices does not require HW support. You can add hardware support to enhance performance, but it is not a requirement.
On my PXA3XX platform for example, Silverlight runs without any HW tweaks through the driver.
What is your question exactly? Where is the demo application?
You can just as well add the XAML based internet explorer to make sure it Silverlight runs. Be aware that the XAML based IE does not have a shortcut on the desktop so you need to create one by yourself or just run the executable from \Windows

I have an (non-MFC) Windows application written in C++ (Visual Studio 2013) running on a small device running Windows Compact 2013.
The device has two storage volumes (internal flash memory and SD Card)
If I connect the device to a Windows PC via USB cable, the volumes are mounted and I can see them as two separate drives inside Windows Explorer. I am then able to change the label of each volume inside Explorer (right click on the drive -> Properties -> type in a new label)
I would like to have the ability to label the volumes from my application running on the device.
I have tried various Compact 2013 API calls without success (obviously the Compact API is far more restrictive than the full Win32 API).
I have even tried to call a script file to call the LABEL command. Also without success.
Can anyone offer me any advice about how to accomplish this? Any help would be much appreciated
Many thanks
In the end, the solution was surprisingly simple. I added an autorun.inf file to the root folder of the device with the following content
[autorun]
label=My Label
This had exactly the effect that I was looking to achieve.
OK, first I shall point that I am completely new to Windows Apps Development, which is good, since I am trying to develop a Windows Store App for PC to use a PrimeSense Scanner connected via USB. I have asked a more specific question about this here.
This time I have a more generic question, which is more related to Windows Store app development. I am using VS2013 Express and compiling for Win32.
When I compile my application for VS2012 and run it as an execcutable file, I can connect to the scanner perfectly. But I can't do the same with VS2013 and running it as a Store app.
I know the device is connected and the drivers are updated and all dlls file placed in the Widnows System 32 directory.
I have also added all Capabilities to the App Manifest and also added the following Device Capability
<m2:DeviceCapability Name="usb">
<!--OSRFX2 Device-->
<m2:Device Id="vidpid:1d27 0609">
<m2:Function Type="classId:ff * *" />
<m2:Function Type="name:vendorSpecific" />
</m2:Device>
</m2:DeviceCapability>
The vid and pid, obviously match the corresponding codes of the device.
One of the errors I recieve when trying to conenct to the scanner using OpenNI is:
Could not open to "\\?\usb#vid_1d27&pid_0609&mi_00#7&1601586a&0&0000#{c3b5f022-5a42-1980-1909-ea72095601b1}" USB Device not found
This error is quite frustrating since I know the device is connected. So I tend to think that there is some level os specificity on the Windows Store App side of the game that is not enabling my to connect to the device. As I said, I am compiling for Win32.
Is there a chance that the drivers will not work for a Windows Store App. Is there some extra stuff I should do inside the Windows Store App logic that I am not doing and that is necessary to connect the USB device? I am sorry, but I am completely new to Windows Store App development.
Thank you.
You can't do that from metro apps.
You typically create a handle to that usb device by calling CreateFile with that object mananger path as the file to 'create'. CreateFile is not allowed in metro apps - "desktop apps only" - and its 'replacement', CreateFile2, specifically doesn't allow opening object manager objects.
Furthermore, the documentation for CreateFile2 states that in metro apps this function can only open files and directories (and not things like pipes, mailslots, consoles, etc.).

Unless I missed something, I don't think this is possible.
Currently I'm working on this example
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa363432(v=vs.85).aspx
that helped me capture any changes in my hardware. (Like connecting and disconnecting a USB flash drive)
The sample explains that in order to enable my console project to compile this code I had to set Project->Properties->Linker->System->Subsystem to Windows
My main problem is that I require the project to stay like a console application.
Is there any way to run this code by a console application or shall I be using a whole new strategy?
Thanks
I am developing an application using C++ and MFC that shall display an swf file. I use Shockwave Flash Object control found in VS2005, set Movie property to C:\test.swf and it displays the movie fine on my pc. When I move my program to another pc, (first i create a deployment project and create setup, then i install my software on other PC in order to have all required dll files and stuff on second pc) i double click the application and instead of flash movie i see an empty space. When I right click to that space, I see "movie not loaded". Please note that I have c:\test.swf (same file) on the other PC as well.
Why can't I display flash on the other PC?
note: flash player is installed on other pc
Try writing console-logging into your source-code to output some debugging information for you. Compile your project and then place this executable on the other machine.
With the information we have, we can't answer this question appropriately for you, but here is at least a good suggestion.
I am trying to figure out the proper procedure for applying a new tsk based theme file in windows mobile 6.1.
I have tried working off of the page http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/changetodaytheme.html But this only changes the background, not the system colors for things such as the top and bottom bars on the screen.
wceload.exe seems to work perfectly for some tsk's and partially for others.
Does anyone know more about tsk files and applying them programmatically in Windows Mobile 6.1?
My application is an open source application, the code is avail;able via read only svn, feel free to check it out # google code
I ended up finding a solution, I don't think it is a universal solution though.
Calling "\Windows\cusTSK.exe \Windows\ThemeName.tsk" changes the top and bottom bars, but does not change all apsects of the theme... so calling wceload.exe and then calling cuTSK.exe in that order seems to be able to change the theme using all tsk files that I have tested.
The cusTSK.exe binary does not exist on the Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional emulator image that you can download from msdn, so I think that this file that exists on custom roms and HTC made devices, that is why I do not think this is a universal solution, but it works for my purposes
