• Smart Device Development GPS Sample Latitude/Longitude not correct

  I have a Pharos GPS unit with both the Blue Tooth and USB interface. I used hypertermal on a XP machine with the USB interface to record some raw GPS output. Then I used the file redirect to run the GPS WM5.0 Sample code in VS2005 WM5.0 device emulator. It displays the correct information on the screen Lat 42 / lon 83 when reading the raw GPS data file that I created. When I move the program to my WM 5.0 device and connect up to the GPS un ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Lack of mouse scroll wheel support in VBA

  Folks The mouse scroll wheel does not work in VBA.   This has always puzzled me as to why this support does not exist since Office 2000. This problem was originally caused by a MS Mouse driver change that I'm told was communicated long in advance to other MS folks. This problem has existed for several versions of Office.  As far as I'm concerned this should've been fixed in the Office SPs. And yes, I'm quite aware of the workaro ...Show All
