WinCE 6.0 - How to show/hide programmatically the input panel? - windows-ce

I have a MFC application (dialog-based) running on a device with win ce 6.0 (ARMV41).
Do you know the API function(s) to show / hide the Software Input Panel ?
Thanks !

Use the SipShowIM API. There's an example in MSDN here, but essentially, to show it, it looks like this:
SipShowIM(SIPF_ON);
And to hide it looks like this:
SipShowIM(SIPF_OFF);

In Windows CE you have to deal with a window named SipWndClass, once found you have send it the proper windows messages either to hide or show it.

expandable (month view)/collapsable(week view) calendar widget for android

I saw this android calendar widget used in an app called cal and was quite impressed.
I would like to implement a similar one in my app as well. Currently I am using an android calendar framework called caldroid and I am using it as a Fragment and will be invoked on action bar button click and will get collapsed clicking back on the action bar button.
But I would like to do the widget like in the app. Screen shots attached.
I would like to know if you guys are aware of any frameworks that can used to achieve this or any approach or tips on how to code this.
I am bit new and know basics of android. Haven't attempted to create custom widgets yet.
Thanks,
Bala
Maybe this library can help you.

Is it possible to restrict the user to take snapshot of screen in C#

I have an application developed in C#. I need a mechanism to restrict the user to take screen shot when the application window on top.
Is it possible to restrict the user to take screenshot??
I have already listen the PrtScr Button to restrict the built in mechanism of windows to take screenshot.
But if user uses some capturing application to capture the skin.. I think there might be some windows event or such like thing, which is triggered when a a screenshot is taken. I need to know about it. Any help will be appreciated...
Already discussed/answered on SO: How do I prevent print screen
try searching a bit before asking! ;-)
In windows form application, Use this code in form keyup event,
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.PrintScreen)
{
Clipboard.Clear();
}
form keypreview should be true.

Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED)): ActiveX and C# Console Application

So, I am playing around with ActiveX and C# and ways how both of them can work together. the thing is I have hit the wall right in the beginning with mentioned error. Steps I have followed:
In VS2010 I selected MFC ActiveX Control project. Then I added a method "SHORT Multiply( SHORT a, SHORT b);" by clicking the Add method option in the menu that pops when you right click _DProjectname under ProjectnameLib in solution explorer. The code for the method is as follows:
SHORT CSampleProgramActivex01Ctrl::Multiply(SHORT a, SHORT b)
{
AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());
// TODO: Add your dispatch handler code here
return ( a * b);
}
Now I have created a simple C# console application that references the generated COM file and when I try to use the method, the application stops with the above mentioned error. I have searched the error on the internet but no clear solution is mentioned. Any help appreciated. If you guys want clarification, let me know.
I don't know whether this is considered as solving the problem or not but I found a workaround:
First instead of C# console application, I created C# windows form application. After creating the form, I have added the whole ocx as component in the toolbox. You do this by right-clicking the Toolbox types in Toolbox menu. In the new menu, you click Choose Items. This pops up new menu and in that select the COM tab and in that check your COM component and the COM component will be added to the Toolbox menu. Now drag and drop the component on the menu and you should be good to go.
This seems to be workaround that everybody is following. Not neat but that is the norm I think.

Winforms c# outlook like Interface

I have already asked the same question but in regards with MDI Application design. Now just for R&D purpose so that we can go with 2 solutions to our user. Can somebody plz help me out...
We are developing an OutLook Style Application using C# Winforms. In that application we are using Microsoft Table Control. Which is what we need to show our UI. In the left hand pane we have menu and in the right hand we are displaying our UserControl. Like CustomerManager. This UserControl is doing Adding, Updating, Deleting ect etc but we want to put the common action buttons, Like Add,Delete,Save on the top toolbar.
So far so good, Now what we need to acheve is regardless of UserControl. What ever UserControl is loaded in the MainForm's TableControl. When the save button is clicked it should process the data on that UserControl. Obviously we will write the logic of the Save Action on each UserControl.
Please help...

I may advice you the Krypton Toolkit. You will write an Outlook style app in seconds.
For all who ended up here like me in search of a free toolkit: As Vulkanino suggested to use Krypton, I loooked it up.
This is now open source Freeware and can be found unter: Krypton Toolkit
Create a Base user control that contains your Add, Delete, Save methods and events. Then create every other functional control that inherits from the Base control.
When you action the main toolbar buttons, you can safely cast each user control in your given container, to the Base user control.

VC++ and MapPoint OCX control dialog issue

I am writing a VC++ MFC dialog based app which requires Microsoft MapPoint embedding in it. To do this I'm using MS VC++ .NET 2003 and MapPoint Europe 2006 to do this but am having problems as when I select "Insert ActiveX Control" no MapPoint control appears in the list of options. I have tried manually registering mappointcontrol.ocx with regsvr32 which appears to succeed but still the control doesn't appear on the list.
Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong here, and any possible solutions.
Thanks
Ian
Have you tried using the ActiveX control test container? Is it in the list of controls? How about using the register button in the test container?
Also check the registry to see if it is registered. You should have an entry in HKEY-CLASSES-ROOT\controlName that has a CLSID element that points to a UUID. That UUID should also be in HKEY-CLASSES-ROOT\CLSID\uuid and have a LocalServer32 entry that points to the DLL and ProgID that points back to controlName.
I have now got the Mappoint control working but in a slightly different way. The control does appear on the list of controls the test container can use. I have tried reregistering it and unregistering it but still it doesn't appear on the list of controls when I try a "Insert ActiveX Control". However if I use "Add/Remove Toolbox Items" I can add it to the toolbox and then drag it into my app where it works fine. I'm not sure why this method works but it does and I can get on with my coding.
Many thanks for all your help with this.
