Hello Moe,

have you had any luck getting GAPI to work in the 2003
emulator? it's supposed to support it, but i have not had
any luck getting it to work with direct pInvokes :(

Thanks

Casey,
Do you get "MissingMethodException" exceptions. I am also
not having any luck. And I can't find any examples or
information with respect to the Smartphone in particular
on the Microsoft site.
 
the MissingMethodException is because gx.dll does not exist on the emulator
image,
at least i didnt see it when viewing through eVC remote file viewer.
found gx.dll for the smartphone (x86 and arm) in the SP SDK folders.
have tried deploying gx.dll to my program directory, \windows, and
\storage\windows on the smartphone emulator ... and then make my call to
GXOpenDisplay.
always get back 0 that it failed :(

Good Luck

Wait. But isn't one of the big bullet points that MS
specifies about the differences between the 2002 and the
2003 Mobile SDK the fact that the 2003 supports GAPI?

But you are saying I have to copy the files where?

Thanks
 
BTW, I'm assuming you'd like to test your apps and have them
work on PPC2000 & PPC2002 & Smartphone 2002
(Or at least those emulators ;-) If not, oh well...
 
So we shoudl ask MS to remove this comment from their
websites right?

"Emulator Enhancements-The emulation environment is much
more robust and supports three modes: Pocket PC 2003,
Pocket PC Phone Edition 2003, which supports external
radios using WaveCom WMOD2B external GSM radio module,
and Pocket PC Phone Edition 2003 with Virtual Radio. In
addition, new features in the emulator itself include
virtual switch support, drive mapping, and GAPI support. "
 
Thanks Alex!

Unfortunately no. Part two will mostly just be PCA assembly code for
optimizing XScale CPUs with the Wireless MMX instructions. Direct3D 9
optimizations are my next series for Intel so it'll be a while before
I get to GAPI again :(

Hi Casey,
Is there any problem with your website? For several months that I get an
error message when I try to access it...

Sorry Alberto, i had an unrecoverable server crash.
hardware, software, you name it ... it all went bad.
time and ISP usage constraints have kept me from bringing
something back online at the moment.

Sorry to ear that... hope you have the time soon to put it back online,
since you had very intersting thngs there, like the ones related to
mappoint...

I'll keep trying,
Alberto
 
revisited this after seeing that Alex had got direct pInvokes to work,
and i'm feeling like a complete idiot now.
my mistake was that i had used dumpbin,
but had used the hint # as the pInvoke ordinal (0-based),
instead of the actual ordinal column # (1-based).
so all of my pInvokes were off by 1.
stupid, stupid :(

still playing with my sample, but the SP 2003 emu is working for me now :)
