Vault has a nice feature allowing you to see History and even diff every
change. I've posted a summary here:

Hmmm... This is not good, unless it's "Monday morning syndrome":

Win32Window.FindWindow now returns type "Win32Window" instead of IntPtr.
But Win32Window.SetWindowPos expects "IntPtr" instead of "Win32Window".
CType cannot convert between the two.

I've reverted to Core.FindWindow which still returns an IntPtr....

Maybe there's just something I'm not seeing here.

 

[Guest]

There's are implicit operators for converting between IntPtr and Win32Window
and vice versa, so they're interchangeable now.

How does that work exactly? This is what I have and VS.Net doesn't like it:

Dim hWnd As Win32Window
hWnd = Win32Window.FindWindow(Nothing, "MS_SIPBUTTON")
Win32Window.SetWindowPos(hWnd, OpenNETCF.Win32.HWND.BOTTOM, 204,
295, 36, 24, SWP.SHOWWINDOW)

thanks,
Michel

VB does not support operator overloading which is the root of your problem
(and the reason it works in C#).

Assuming your compiler error is on the last line, replace the first
parameter (hWnd) with:
Win32Window.op_Implicit(hWnd)
and it should compile.

BTW, VB2005 supports operator overloading so if you try your original VB
code in VS2005 Beta 2 you'll find it works.

Cheers

Ah yes... The VB.Net limitations haunting me again... Too bad there's an
anti "anything that looks like C" culture here.

Assuming your compiler error is on the last line, replace the first
parameter (hWnd) with:
Win32Window.op_Implicit(hWnd)
and it should compile.

That seems to have done the trick - thanks!

I haven't installed that yet. We're soon going into production so
unfortunately I haven't had a chance to check out the new goodies...

thanks,

Hello Peter,

I uninstalled v1.3 from Add/Remove Progs before I installed v1.4 but
noticed several OpenNETCF assemblies that were left in the
..\CompactFrameworkSDK\v1.0.5000\Windows CE folder. Should these be
manually deleted before installing v1.4 or will updated assemblies be
overwritten? Also, I installed the Library content and noticed alot of
"Summary missing" errors in the docs.

Just curious,
Thomas Hall

Yes, you can manually delete anything with "opennetcf" in the name from the
VS.NET folder. It probably won't hurt to leave them, either. The 1.4
uninstaller fixes this...
