I have a WinCE 4.2 Core based Satnav device and I'm successfully running 'betaplayer' as well as my own 'gosmore' application on it. So when I look at the long list of "software that (might) work", I had high hopes that many applications will run on it, but that wasn't the case.
There must be millions of these 'Core' devices in circulation, so I think it will be good if developers are informed about the portability issues. Here are some of the things I discovered : 1. Don't use the MultibyteToWideChar() supplied by the operating system, because CP_UTF8 isn't supported on all devices. Use mbstowcs() or the functions from ConvertUTF.c/h (unicode.org) instead. 2. Don't include or use aygshell.h 3. Using SipShowIM() is OK. 4. Some touchscreenless devices like the SmartPhone emulator doesn't allow navigation of modeless dialog boxes. Perhaps I can put all these things up on a project wiki some where ? Getting my program to correctly run in fullscreen mode on all devices is also a bit tricky : I use CreateWindow() with WS_DLGFRAME and CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT and then assume the window has GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) by GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN) pixels. It works on some devices. On others, there is always something in the way (taskbar?). I'd love to hear if other members on the list is interested in older versions of Windows CE Core.
