Re: "Wireless Information" screen for wifi on Win CE 5 unreachable but

I just wrote

up to give an example of how to edit a res file and get the changes merged
with the binary.

Paul:

That would work, but it would be a very big hammer to solve this problem.

All you need to do is change the res file. You don't need to clone the
project, you just need to modify the res
file and put it in your Files folder in the appropriate language folder
and add that to platform.loc. Makeimg will do the rest when it runs
res2res.

After some screwing around to get the emulator to show the indicated
dialog, yes, it's partially off-screen. You should be able to clone it.
Basically, copy the contents of \public\common\oak\drivers\netui to a
folder somewhere else, where you can modify it. Adjust the SOURCES file
to change the RELEASETYPE to PLATFORM, LOCAL, whatever makes sense for
you. Then open a DOS window using the Platform Builder menu item and
navigate to the folder where you copied netui. Run

sysgen_capture -p common netui

This should generate something like SOURCES.NETUI. You'll need to grab
some of the settings in there, DLLENTRY, TARGETTYPE, etc. to make the
DLL, not just a library, which is what the SOURCES file in the netui
folder does. I think that should just about do it. Try building in the
new netui folder, build -c, and see if that doesn't generate you a
netui.dll in the right location, based on the RELEASETYPE that you set.

And the answer to the rest of the questions? It's 1242, then, right?
That sure seems like it should fit. It's dimensions in dialog units are
only 192 x 225. If it doesn't though, you'll have to clone and modify
netui.dll with your own resources to fit the display, although that may
actually be the only change.

Best of all, open netui.dll from your release folder with Platform
Builder
(just drag and drop it). This should allow you to view/edit the
resources.
Which dialog is not fitting on your screen? 1242? 2001? Both? You
aren't
doing some sort of pixel-doubling or something are you? The resolution
reported by the OS for the average application via
SystemParametersInfo() is
800x480?

It's a catalog item, QVGA Resources - Portrait Mode (you can search
for it
in the catalog). I don't think that's going to help you, in this
case. I
can't figure out what would cause what you're seeing, as the dialogs
and
everything for WZC all fit *very* easily on a 640x480 display. I
suppose
that having an extra-wide display like yours might cause WZC to
decide
incorrectly to rearrange things in some dialogs a bit, but that's the
only
thing that would explain it to me. Almost everything fits just fine
on
our 640x240 display! You're not replacing the WZC components of
NetUI,
right? Just using the standard resources?

First, try SYSGEN_QVGAP, which will make the dialogs wide instead of
tall.

If that doesn't work for you, you may need to edit the res file to
change
the layout of the dialog.

Hello All,

"Wireless Information" screen for wifi on Win CE 5 unreachable
buttons

We have a custom Win CE 5.0 box that we used Platform Builder to
build
the
os. My issue is our screen resolution is 800 X 480 and everything
seems
to
work correctly accept when I plug in our USB wireless device and
the
form
that displays the available wireless networks comes up in the
"Wireless
Information" tab. If a network is encrypted and I need to click on
advanced
to enter the wep key, it appears that I have not buttons on the
screen
(the
form does not recognize the current resolution and the buttons are
"farther
south" then the bottom of the screen.

any help would be great.- Hide quoted text -

if in the image, I already have wireless, shouldn't this variable
already been sysgened?
if not should I added to the settings or should I added to the
registry file? Cause it seems like when
I tried to add the new Sysgen variable in the environment, it doesn't
want to stay permanent.- Hide quoted text -

Hello Paul,

If I double click on the wireless network I want to connect to it
brings up the "wireless network properties" form where I can enter a
wep key.. etc..

cheers,
J
