Hello all as Daniel suggested...
the situation is like this:
I have an OEM device with CE .net 4.2 on it, the image doesn't include the
imgdecmp.dll .... the problem that i can't contact the OEM so can i download
it or should i throw the device on my BOSS head.

thanks and best regards

Have you checked the missing of your imgdecmp.dll through CeFileViewer?
It could be possible that you just can't see it (DLLs are hidden).
 
Dear Sergey :
YES i've searched and find nothing :( .... as i can find it on other devices
like Symbol....

STILL WAITING

Thanks and best regards

Not sure where you could get imgdecmp other than from the OEM... maybe
download Platform Builder 4.2 and grab it from there (assuming the EULA
allows this... I don't know off hand)

Regardless, now might be a good time to migrate your code away from imgdecmp
which is unavailable for WinCE 5.0. Instead, the recommendation is to use
imaging.dll and the SHLoadImage* APIs.

Hi Robert :

thnx , any way I CANT go for win ce 5.0 the device is win ce 4.2 did i miss
upgrading way???

thanks and best regards
 
But, Robert, isn't use of imgdecmp hidden inside CF runtime? How would he
make managed code use SHLoadImage without foregoing the whole managed
graphic API?
 
As CFv1 SP1, imgdecmp is only used as a fallback when imaging.dll is not
available

If I wanted to FindResource() this

IDR_PNG_IT GIF DISCARDABLE "myit.png"

what would I use? There's no RT_GIF. This loads
fine using SHLoadImageResource(), but there's no
way to find the resource anymore (RT_RCDATA won't
do).

It'd be a good idea to better document this API. This is the ENTIRE
thing now (GIF? I remember those from the 80s, back when VGA, 256 colors
and 640 KB was all anyone really needed):

SHLoadImageResource

Converts a .gif file in the resource file to a .bmp file. A resource
.gif file should be coded in the resource file as follows:
IDG_MYIMAGE_GIF GIF DISCARDABLE "MyImage.gif".

Syntax
HBITMAP SHLoadImageResource ( HINSTANCE hinst, UINT uIdGif);
Parameters
hinst [in] Handle to the module whose executable file contains the .gif file
uIdGif [in] UINT identifying the .gif file

Return Values
A handle to a bitmap if successful, NULL otherwise

What did you think of this topic?

Wrong question. The topic is fine. The coverage isn't.

Send us feedback: mailto:[email protected]


Also, for some reason,

iH = LoadLibrary(L"aygshell.dll");
if (iH) {
gLibSHLoadImageResource =
(SHLOADIMAGERESOURCE_PROCADDR)GetProcAddress(iH,L"SHLoadImageResource");

fails to get the proc address (gLibSHLoadImageResource = 0), with
GetLastError() saying 87 (invalid arg). This is exported from aygshell.dll,
appears to be spelled correctly, but it won't getprocaddress.

Not much to do with CF, but back to imgdecmp for me.
 
Dear Robert :
I've downloaded the Platform Builder 4.2 didn't know how to get it ... can
you help


thanks and best wishes on 2005
 
I am not Robert, and it wasn't my suggestion to download PB to get this file
but since you have... Create a new project, follow one of the wizard default
projects, and build the image/platform. Then search in the folder it was
built for the said file (usually under C:\WINCE420\PUBLIC\ in the project
folder under RelDir)

Cheers
Daniel
 
That's the heavy handed way, yes. It's probably already built in the public
tree somewhere (don't have PB on this machine or I'd tell you). At any
rate, make sure your platform has "Pocket IE" included to get imgdecmp.dll,
and make sure you've installed and ARMv4 processor and have selected it as
your BSP or it won't work for you.
