Retrieve Device Parameters

[alfcen]

Hello Folks,

A program designed to retrieve various device data from the Pocket PC and to demonstrate the power of B4PPC plus the performance of libraries developed by B4PPC forum members.

The application is tested on Pocket PC 2003SE only. Please be so kind as to inform any problems with WM5/6 devices. For the time being, for the device only!

I welcome information about any additional parameters that could be retrieved. The source is included in the ZIP.

Cheers

I just have to say:

very nice functions, plain and nice program design

I'm just wonderin why it says Bluetooth/Wifi enabled for me - is it just that 1)Wifi/Bt is present, or if it's 2) really activated?
in case two it would be wrong

Hi alfcen,

tested on my WM5 device it works ok with one exception:
The parameter "WiFi enabled" shows the value "yes", but my WiFi status was disabled. Or does the parameter mean WiFi available instead of enabled?


Anyway a very nice application

Works fine on my Pocket PC 2003 Premium operating system.

But WiFi enabled - yes
My device hasn't got WiFi

Haisai mister Brenner,

Excellent utility!!! If you don't mind I'll use it as is in my applications.

Thank you very much.


I'll come back after further testing

Hello everybody,

Never expected that much response on this example
Credit is also due to dzt and fillippo who provided additional dlls powering up Erel's B4PPC.

Yep, BT and WiFi are still a pain in the neck. The intention is to indicate whether both or either are hardware-wise built-in. I shall have to find a unique registry entry. Maybe someone is faster

Haisai dzt: absolutely no objection, two dlls in that app are your creations

Cheers
Robert

Hi folks,

I am a fool! I failed to include a list of running applications and processes which is a child's play to implement with dzt's dzhw.dll

Bekkan Beta 0.51 adds:
1. list of running processes each of which can be forced to close
2. list of running applications each of which can be forced to close
3. A battery level gauge at the top left of the Device Details screen
4. An icon at the top right of the Device Details screen which shows up when the device is online
5. An installer

And... the exe is still under 300KB!
The WiFi issue is not yet solved
