Put it on my Tab

Hi All,

Just some questions about Tabbing.

I am developing an application for Pocket Pc 2003, the device it runs on
will
have a keyboard, and the targeted users will find it easier to use the Keys
to
Navigate.

There is a lot of information to gather about vehicles, so I have used the
TabControl

I found that after installing SP2 I could Tab around the Controls added to
the TabPage
( after reordering the Zorder )

How do I Tab to a control that is on the next Tab page, because Tab Cycles
through
the controls on each TabPage.

If there was some visual clue that the Tabs on the TabControl had focus they
could
arrow to the next page.

Is there a version of the Emulator that reflects the changes made in SP2 ?

The PPC's use WiFi to connect our Network, so what method could I use to
Print some Crystal Reports
on a printer attached to a Server. I have seen mention of passing the
information via a web service,
and let the server check a folder and print, but I don't know what is
involved in doing that.

Cheers

Robert

I'm not aware of a built-in key combination for this. I think you need to
catch the keydown event and focus the next/previous tab yourself. Depending
on your device model you problably have some special keys that could be used
for this.

You can install SP2 on the Emulator like any other device. Just add the SP2
cab as content to a project and it will be copied to the Emulator or try
using Alex Feinman'e EmulatorCopy. Remember to use the x86 platform cab on
the emulator...

Thanks I had already decided to change to the Next Tab on the LostFocus of
the
last control on the Tab Page, but this could come undone if they click to
another
control on that TabPage and I send them to the next.

I tried to use emucpy without success, I even copied it to the folder with
the Cabs:

using command line > emucpy 3 netcf.core.ppc3.x86.cab

but it said it couldn't find the file, so I used the File Explorer on the
Emulator to copy the file.
Is this the only cab that needs to be installed on the emulator, because I
still can't reproduce
the SP2 Tab behaviour on the Pocket PC 2003 Emulator
No idea about this :(
