Re: Wince 4.2 to wince 5.0 display driver migration

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Well I've checked the device caps that we are returning are correct, I have
briefly looked through public\shell and nothing really obvious in the code
files that have changed since wince 4.2, shell.reg has changed a little but
nothing significant.
I can drag and place the icons wherever I want on the screen but selecting
refresh, or jumping out of the directory and back in again puts all the
icons into two columns.

Thank you for all the advice, I am currently investigating this issue and
will post an update when I have a result.

Just as a shot in the dark, you might try double checking whether the
display information (e.g., 320x240) and device caps you're returning
are correct. It sounds like the shell thinks it's lining up icons for
a screen of a different size than what you have.

Icons are all the correct colours and are not distorted in anyway, simply
not aligning correctly when there are more icons that can fit on a page,
this obviously pops up the scrollbar too.

Thanks for the reply, not sure where to start in the shell, our
display is a 320x240 TFT QVGA and we are using the MediaQ 1132
graphics controller and the driver that they supplied. But as you
say the behaviour that I have observed points to the shell???????

You talked about some icon alignment problem, and the display driver
simply draw the icons, doesn't align or handle them in any other way.
If you have errors in icons drawing (wrong colors, distorted shapes
etc.) you should check the driver, if the icons are ok, they react to
mouse/touch clicks but they seem to be aligned in the wrong way you
should check the shell or the listview control code and you'll have the
same behaviour also on other displays.
