• huonglt onpaint in a derived control class never getting called...

  Anyone got a c# class that has autocomplete added Thanks! Thanks again! The instrinsic controls in CF do not expose the OnPaint event. As Ilya mentioned, you can try to sublcass the control, but let me tell you, it is not easy, because you will need to draw everything yourself. IMO it would be easier just to use the OwnerDrawn list from SDF. I derived a class from ListBox and have overridd ...Show All

• JeffGWM Developing for Mobile 5 in VS 2003

  I'm currently developing an application for both 2003 and now it appears Mobile 5 using VS2003. I'm told that 2003 shouldn't be use to develop a Mobile 5 application. It seems to work, I'm curious as to the reasoning here. Is it an MS push to sell VS2005, or is there a more fundamental underlying reason. The plan is to move to VS 2005 but not during mid development. Thanks! Thanks, That is good to hear. Though PPC 2000 is out of qu ...Show All

• Lizet vs2005 compiler is fatally flawed: generates bad code

  In this very simple excerpted code, the compiler fails to do its job.  If you want it recreated, I propose someone there try to recreate it.  I've already got it happening here.  It's as simple as it gets.  From the type of failure, it looks like it's going to happen a lot. r12 is assigned the address of mc.decodePriority only if gDecodeMaxPriority >= 3, yet it, r12, is still used as the store address when it is not &g ...Show All

• Andrea Schaffernorth Thread question (I think)

  I have an application that needs to import large numbers of records into SQL CE from a text file while not slowing down the user interface. It is acceptable to take some time to load those records, but it is not acceptable to show much lag in the interface. Currently, when I kick off my import function, the interface stops until the records are in. Granted, the records only take a few minutes, but I'd like to find a way to keep my interface acti ...Show All
