Hi!!
I am new to Windows CE. I have a VC++ 6.0 Dialog based application
running in Windows 2000. Can I port my VC++ 6.0 Dialog Based
Application as it is? If no, then how can the application be ported to
CE 5.0?
Please Help.
Thanks in Advance,
Praneeth.
You might. If not, you'll have to pick through the code and fixup the CE
limitations.
Of course, the first place you'll need to look is the size of the dialogs,
etc.

The difficulty of the port depends heavily on how you wrote your
program. An earlier post mentioned dialog size. You may also need to
worry about UNICODE issues (Windows CE is heavily biased towards
UNICODE). You may need to deal with differences in menu functions,
unless MFC hides such details (I don't use MFC). And you may find that
some functions you use are unavailable for CE. I just used google
([url]http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search[/url]) to look up
porting
in microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer and got 341 hits. I took a
quick look and am quite sure you'll find some useful info and leads.
