Darryl, You will need to use the C Library functions to control the scanner etc. I have done this for the Intermec and Datalogics devices and it works well. Motorola (ex Symbol) looks similar though I haven't needed this yet. The little trick is to poll the device (every 500 millisecs, say) instead ...

Thomas,
You need to run the linker with parameters including:
/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWSCE,4.20 /MACHINE:THUMB

Sorry for the delay !!

Jeff, My application has the option of using a Bluetooth barcode scanner as alternate input. I simply set up the device as a discoverable Serial Port Profile. I use standard FWPPC serial communications functions and when the corresponding port is initially opened then the Bluetooth link is establish...

Hi Andrej I compiled my application for the Datalogics Falcon 4420 (see http://www.bscan456.com to download) and initially had the same problem. The solution is in the link script: %vcdir%\bin\link @msvc.tmp /nologo /MAP:bs456info.map /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWSCE,4.20 /MACHINE:THUMB /verbose:lib I also use ...

Hi Darryl, I am yet to tackle the Symbol 9000 but have successfully programmed my system for the PSC Falcon 4400 using the API, which appears to be rather similar to Symbol. Instead of waiting for a scan event, which I couldn't see how I could handle, I simply use a timer function, so that after iss...

On my Dell PDA I use the 'switcher bar' to force a failed program to exit: menu-settings-system-switcher bar option. Useful for testing and removing programs no longer required.

Bill,
I use xharbour\source\rtl\hbcrypt.c (from xharbour.org) correcting lines 448 and 478 to use hb_retclen. I use hb_crypt to scramble the user registration key details when storing in the registry. What snippets would you like?

Richard, Printing directly from FWPPC I presume that you will need to send all the necessary printer control commands - just like the old days. By using the Windows 'save to file' feature you may be able to pre-generate and capture what you need and then merge printer control fragments with your dat...

Dutch,
Do you have the Netware drivers installed on your PDA? You may need to review/search the Novell support sites... good luck.

Richard,
Perhaps its a flow control issue - is it using Xon/Xoff ?

My application writes out via BT using similar code. Except I always use:
#define GENERIC_REWRITE 0xC0000000
instead.
Monitoring is a problem - the emulator is flaky and BillSerialMonitor doesn't like BT ports...

Via File Exporer have you tried opening a path to the NW5 server eg Open Path to \\MyNW5Server\MyDir then use full pathname in PPC for remote file usage. Works fine for std windows lan. hth.
