Hi all,
recently I wrote an application (PPC) for controlling some industrial
equipment. Now, the company I wrote it for, has decided to build an
embedded device and port, more or less, the old app to the new environment.
I thought it would be relatively easy, the hard bits are already done, and
that it would be mostly a matter of presentation and interface. However, I
found the first stumbling block in trying to convince the emulator to work
at 1024 x 768. Could somebody tell me how to achieve this?

TIA
 
Have you had a look at the help file for the emulator
It's default location is
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\ConnectionManager\Bi

There's a section "Customizing a Skin for the Emulator" that might point you in the right direction

Hope this helps
Chris

Thanks for your reply. I had seen it but not carefully: noe I can confirm
that it doesn't say much. It tells you that it can be done, but, as all too
often happens, the documentation is very short of detail. Thanks anyway.
 
Assuming you are using Visual Studio .NET 2003,
In the directory:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\ConnectionManager\Bin\Images\PocketPC\2002\1033
you can edit the PPC2002.xml skin file. You can make a backup of this
file before modifying it.

In order to start up the PPC emulator with a resolution of 1024x768,
you would have to
- change the displayWidth and displayHeight variable to 1024 and 768
- change the bmp files to fit this new display size.

This should give you a 1024x768 PPC emulator
