Hello,
I'm developing an application for Windows Mobile and I need to change the font inside some labels to my own font.
I know that on windows one could use the PrivateFontCollection but this option is not found in .net compact.
Also, I preferably would not add the font to the windows/font directory and soft reset the device.
Thanks for all the help! (that hopefully will come )

Hi all, what's the best software to use if I want to create .cab file for installing apps or chaing registry etc on the Universal's WM5/WM6?
I have tried "WinCE CAB Manager" but the cab file failed to be installed on my Windows Mobile emulator for some reason. I know you can use Visual Studio .NET 2005 something like that, but is there any lighter program in addition to VS .NET?
Thanks in advance!

"WinCE CAB Manager" but the cab file failed to be installed on my Windows Mobile emulator for some reason -> u maybe set the wrong version variables?
check it! ;-) i think it workz!!!
I have set it to support all CPUs and on the OS type I have set it to support Pocket PC 2005. I will give it some more go later and see how it does.
Hi, it is still not working, I have attached the screenshot of the configurations in the cab and the error messsage I get. I tried it with my Universal and the Windows Mobile Device emulator and I got the same error.
Can anyone tell me what I have set wrong in this CAB? Thanks!
BTW, I was only trying to add a small .txt file by using this .cab as a test.
I have just got it working now! I installed WinCE CAB Manager on another PC and it is working fine!! For some reason the cab file it makes on my laptop doesn't work.
Anyway, I will use the other PCs to create the cab file then.
Wrong thread... Sorry
Scuze my bad english. I would like to create a tsk creation software where the user can modify all option (size, colour, agencement,etc) But i've no idea or no ressources. So my question Have you any internet links for help me ?
Thanks
There is already free software for this.
http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1523
Check it.
Of Course but Theme Gen ce is developpez in Delphi ! I would develop it in java or vb.net with very simple option for user who doensn't know ppc advanced options or configuration
I just want to create my own Theme Software but i need ressources for emplacement or parameters for menus ...
Any software provide this function and it is able to create a CAB file to let me share with others?
thx =]
You should get the m9editor, find the manila files containing the icons you want to change, change them and if you want to make a cab, use some kind of cab manager or you could simply copy them in the windows folder (not with the standard file explorer - use total commander or something like that) and then restart TF3D. If you have done everything right, you should have the new icons displayed, if not - simply delete the manila files you have changed and softreset - this should restore them if you have not made backup of the original file.
oh, thx for your reply >3<

Strange... I also use XP (not the china version) and it works for me... maybe you should ask for support the creator of the editor. As for the CAB files - I personally use 'WinCE CAB Manager' but I think there are a number of other managers, just google them and find out which is best suited for you.
I've been studying Java with the Open University and would like to put into practice some of my newfound knowledge on the mobile side of things.
Can anybody help me get started by telling me which configuration I should be using with regard to CLDC/CDC-MIDP, are there any JDK's for the Touch HD etc?
I have tried searching but to no avail so far so would appreciated your help.
Also, is there a decent Java compiler that operates under WM6. As that would be novel to play around with too! I currently use NetBeans on my pc.
Regards
Gary
Java on a mobile device = J2ME
There are plenty of Java VM for Pocket PC (check this thread). I think JBed (found in most blackstone ROM's including stock ones) is the best. It has severe limits but it is the best you can get on blackstone. For developement you can use your PC with Sun WTK 2.5.2 (it is supported by Netbeans).
There are no decent java compilers that run directly on PocketPC.
As your first app can you create a D-Pad in java to run skymobile????

Java ME : JBed or JBlend, choose one of them, both work great.
Java SE (Yes Desktop-class Java): MySaifu - http://www2s.biglobe.ne.jp/~dat/java/project/jvm/index_en.html
As for the JDK part (I mean the javac compiler and other tools), I do not know such a package yet. However, you can make javac work with MySaifu with a tools.jar file copied from standard JDK (1.3 or older probably).
Hope this helps
Java development with JVM for CDC
Thanks for your help guys.
I've managed to ge set up and have managed to create my first Midlet and run it on my Blackstone via JBed. I've used NetBeans 6.7
However, that is CLDC/MIDP, but when I try and install CDC creations JBed will not install it because a Midlet name is missing. Is this because the stock JBed does not support CDC. I have tried to find out but it is not perfectly clear and I will have to pay for a JVM to test my theory out if nobody can advise!
Thanks for help

MOD EDIT
Moved to Themes, Applications and Software forum (?) as not related to rom development
I'd seriously look at JavaFX, sun released a beta of it the other day.
I really like it, it works well on the HD from my limited testing
http://javafx.com/downloads/windows.jsp
One slight flaw with the current version is that it wants to get network address even when try to search for local jar/jad on storage.
but setting it as default file association gets around that one..
JavaFX
Downloading as I write....
Thanks for your advice I appreciate it. As you may know, as a newcomer to development of JME it is so complicated to get started due to all the configurations so any pointers at this stage are very much appreciated.
Thanks
Gaz
OK, I have JavaFX installed on my HD and it works and I particularly like the calculator example app included with it. However, I still cannot get my CDC app to install. It says "Cannot install application because critical information is missing from the application file (.jad). I thought CDC used xml files and not JAD for descriptions. Am I wrong or is something to do with my platform/deployment configuration?
I cant see a jad file in the deploy folder either. Is this an error.
Thanks
Gaz
Nope, you still need the JAD descriptor file.
It's plain text file, just find some on the internet, open it with text editor and alter some of the properties in there, it's really easy.
Don't forget to change the path to your JAR archive - the best way is to put there just simple JAR name and copy the JAD to the same directory as JAR.
Thanks Pepcza,
I'll try that, just a thought though, if you still need a descriptor file (in this case .jad) why does'nt the Netbeans deployment process create it along with everything else? It does when creating CLDC platform apps!
Gaz
JavaFX
I think we should concentrate on this one. Youtube videos are working in bolt browser using Javafx. If only it would be a bit faster, It'll throw Jbed out of the window.
By default we have 2 fonts: Choco cookie.ttf and Samsung font.ttf
On attached files, 2 more font (available on samsunapps): Cool jazz.ttf and Rosemary.ttf
For adding them to custom, just unzip the files and add them to AppEx\SysDefault\Font\Download
You can also try with Android font or windows font
It worked for me with these fonts but not with the rest.
What I've been doing since these fonts are in SamsungApps is download at least one of them, let's say Rosemary.
Then, I go to STune-->OSP-->Applications--> (Rosemary folder)-->Res-->Font, and place there every font I want.
That's how every font has worked for me... at least the ones from Windows.
P.S: I had some problems with fonts in capital letters. So it would be advisable to rewrite fonts in lower case. I.e: asdf.ttf
Best Regards
You can use bada 1.2 fonts too
They are in rc1 files
Best Regards
I have forgotten where I read this...
Someone wrote about some miisng Chars if using Windows Font or something similar...
Maybe we should take an look to Android.
I mean Samsung Android.
Maybe they use same FONT for full support...
Maybe one way for Android Fonts...

Applemint
I've got one more for you guys. This one is called "Applemint" and it has been extracted from Asian FW, and it works and looks great. It contains most European characters, and being a official Bada font it shouldn't cause any issues. Well, try it for your self.
