Hi,
congratulations on the framework. Very useful!

Could you please provide a version for Windows Mobile 6 SDK?

I am trying to use a library which only works on Windows Mobile 6 SDK with C# 3.5.

Best regards.

Hello Chris,

This is a wonderful work by you. This has made creating a today screen item very easy. I’m just facing a problem – installing today screen item disables the soft key in the today screen. I’ve run your samples on WM 6.0 Emulator and they also have the same problem. How to get over it?

This is great! I appreciate the work you did to provide this– it’s perfect to help me get something up and running quickly to prototype. One question– is it possible for the C# ScreenItem to display status as read from a file? Or do you have any other suggestions? The sample I created doesn’t seem to be reading the file, but I’m not entirely sure why. Thanks!

Managed Items do not appear in the TodayScreen applet on WM6.1 Pro, .NETCF 3.5

Hi Chris,

Thanks a lot for your efforts. Your idea is great!

Anyhow, so far I have some touble by testing your project.
I have installed the “ChrisTech.WindowsMobile.TodayScreen-Framework.CAB” (Alpha2) on my Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, .NET Compact Framework 3.5.

Then I have installed the SampleTodayScreenItems.CAB (Alpha2).

After installing both files successfully I can see in the registry

HKLM\\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\Managed Items

“DLL”=”\StorageCard\Program Files\Managed Today Screen Framework\ManagedTodayScreenItem.dll”

“Enabled”=dword:0×000001

“Options”=dword:00000000

“Selectability”=dword:0×000002

“Type”=dword:0×000004

I have tried both soft resetting, and powering off and on the device. However, the Managed Items do not appear in the Item tap of the TodayScreen applet neither a TodayScreenItem becomes visible on the Today Screen even the DWord “Enabled” is set to 1 in the registry.

Can you give me a hint how to solve this or where to look further?

Many thanks for your suggestion.

Hey Chris,

Thanks for this project, it was just what I need as a VB programmer! One question, I have been trying to figure out how to really use this with my VB project (I want to write a Today screen plug in VB) but your video above is about SQL Compact and not the today.dll. Is there another link to the video or did I read this blog wrong?

Thanks!

Congratulations for your work first.

Second, the alpha 2 version crashes PPC 2003 (emulator and my PDA), after installation if you do a soft reset the screen remains white.
