    Why There Are Not Many More Tablet Applications

    The problem is that so few people have them. Nintendo has done a better job marketing the DS than Microsoft and partners have done with the tablet. I love the tablet, and wish there were more. The development of UMPCs http://umpc.com/Devices.aspx which run the tablet OS may encourage...

    How To Program A Tablet

    If you are using Visual studio, they have an free SDK that you can download from microsoft. http://tinyurl.com/cnvjt or http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=B46D4B83-A821-40BC-AA85-C9EE3D6E9699&displaylang=en Brian "There are 2 kinds of people in the world, those...

    looking for hardware

    If you're still looking, I think what you are looking for is like an MDWD (Panasonic). I don't think this supports the Tablet OS. We also used them with panasonic laptops, which is how they are intended. I don't know for sure if you can use them with a desktop, but I think they use bluetooth...

    How do I switch to a .NET winforms app from Delphi

    By the way, I am using Delphi 6, and I get an external exception (0008?) when I try to close the handle of whatever window I find. Brian "There are 2 kinds of people in the world, those that divide people into two groups and those that don't. I belong to the second group." - tag line...

    How do I switch to a .NET winforms app from Delphi

    We have two applications that were originally written in Delphi. Users regularly switch back and forth between the applications, and we provided a button to do so. We knew the ApplicationClass (TApplication) and the name of the window, so using FindWindow to switch was no problem. We have...

    Which PC Tablet to get

    I have a toshiba portege 200 that I like a lot, but you would need to use an external dvd drive (which you would then have to carry around). My friend got a Gateway tablet that he's very happy with. I'm not sure if it has a DVD burner, but it does have some sort of CD/DVD drive that I assume...

    Tablet PC: won't play movie files (WMV) in windows media player

    I have the Portege M200, and no problem playing movies (avi, wmv, mov, ...). Is it just .wmv that doesn't work? Have you tried viewing on something other than the windows player? Brian "There are 2 kinds of people in the world, those that divide people into two groups and those that...

    webservices

    I did it in Delphi 6 once. I used Nick Hodges instructions here: http://bdn.borland.com/article/0,1410,27781,00.html Brian "There are 2 kinds of people in the world, those that divide people into two groups and those that don't. I belong to the second group." - tag line I stole

    start application on another PC

    Can you set up a listener program that runs on the remote PCs, that executes DisplayDocket when it sees the network signal for it's machine? You write a little exe that looks for X:\MachineName.txt, and when it sees it, it runs the DisplayDocket. On your PC, whenever you want to run the...

    windows compatibility

    I think compatibility mode was introduced in XP. Brian "There are 2 kinds of people in the world, those that divide people into two groups and those that don't. I belong to the second group." - tag line I stole

    Component changing

    If you install GExperts, it has a change component function. GExperts is free, and very useful. Brian "There are 2 kinds of people in the world, those that divide people into two groups and those that don't. I belong to the second group." - tag line I stole

    sleep mode in delphi

    Are you trying to catch this on the main form, or a secondary form? What if you try using the TApplicationEvents component (on the "additional" tab of the palette)? Brian "There are 2 kinds of people in the world, those that divide people into two groups and those that don't. I belong to...

    sleep mode in delphi

    Modal form hides behind other window

    In our current WinXP environment, I have noticed this as well. We have a custom message dialog that occasionally would get stuck behind other windows, giving the impression that the program is frozen. This dialog happens to have a timer on it to allow some messages to disappear without user...

    How to change screen resolution ?

    As aaronjme points out, this is probably not a good idea, but this might work (I don't know if it's intended for win9x or winnt or both). ripped off from google newsgroups: function NewRes(XRes,YRes:DWord):integer; var DevMode:TDeviceMode; begin EnumDisplaySettings(nil, 0, DevMode)...

    Juggling between several forms

    The only time autocreate might not be your best course of action is if you have a lot of forms (we have hundreds). In that case, I would suggest creating them dynamically. Brian "There are 2 kinds of people in the world, those that divide people into two groups and those that don't. I...

    Delphi 8 and WINCE/PocketPC

    The cf sdk only works in vs.net. I am able, using visual studio, to create programs that work on pocketpc 2002 & ppc 2003. I haven't tried ce3, but I think you need to use the embedded tools (free download) for that. From what I understand, MS has not allowed anyone else to do CF work yet...
