HP hx2755 PocketPC 2003 AT&T Tilt PocketPC 6.0 4th Jan 2009 0.3 TTS from a .txt file display tokens in window as we go redo the menus and forms layout Still very basic though. stop doesn't work bacause things don't get back to the event loop. 2nd Jan 2009 0.2 have windows, a dialog box with a play and editable text box spent ages working out how to program in WinCE but seems to work now 1st Jan 2009 0.1 play_wave(w) does the right thing au_wince.c seems to work moved to mingw32ce version added a .rc resource file and tidied up configure.in moved to cst_file_wince.c rather than cst_file_cegcc.c (deleted) fixed bugs in cst_file_wince.c type in box and audio out want flite.dll cmu_us_kal_diphone.dll usenglish.dll maybe have them loaded (so voice isn't in flowm) Need examples/tutorial on building an app with inputs, defaults, options file loading display etc. streaming synthesis? (and call back) 0.0 compiled flite with message box displaying number of bytes in synthesized waveform. Synthesis seems to work, WCHARs support is necessary cst_wchar.[ch] 6th June 2008 ------------------------- Making dlls (using dlls) http://craigshaw.com/ (for ffmpeg) Example code http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/ dll building http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-porting/index.html Books Programming Microsoft Windows CE, Second Edition (Pro-Developer) (Paperback) Online sample chapters http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/sampchap/5461b.aspx code samples (for eVC++) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb158662.aspx Simple, but larger CE example in C++ http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/ce_cards.aspx join codeproject awbcmu publicpass But found good examples that are (mostly) compilable in Programming Microsoft Windows CE (Doug Boling) Bought second hand on Amazon for $11 It has online examples, and a version of the book all in CHM format Its actually all online http://iptvforum.cn/wince/wince-programming-ms-press2/source/prowice/ch04d.htm Keeping app running while in sleep model PowerPolicyNotify(PPN_UNATTENDEDMODE, 1); SystemIdleTimerReset(); // call this periodically SetSystemPowerState(null, POWER_STATE_ON, POWER_FORCE); http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379366
