Append to buildce.bat

PAUSE
cecopy /is c:\FWPPC\SAMPLES\test.exe dev:\temp

and your files are copied automatically.
Saves a lot of time!

Then use ActiveSync_Remote_Display to test the software remotely.

As I see on the "views row" not all of your read this info.
But this is really a timesaver.

I developed a "Stockcontrol" component for the mobile device.

To exchange the files between the PC and the mobile device
I call:

waitrun("cecopy /is c:\ts6\export\*.* dev:\import",1)

Otto,

It's a very nice app. Congratulations

> waitrun("cecopy /is c:\ts6\export\*.* dev:\import",1)

It's a greta idea but, cecopy you can distribute freely? or does it have royalties or licenses?

-----------------
I find in http://www.rainer-keuchel.de/software.html with Desktop Tools for Windows CE Needed for setting registry entries etc. To be used on your PC. Contains the following files: cecopy.exe cedel.exe cedir.exe ceexec.exe cegetinfo.exe cemkdir.exe cereg.exe. This is a freeware.

Cómo usar ActiveSync Remote Display con Windows Mobile 5.0.
11.12.2005 12:59:20 (Romance Standard Time, UTC+01:00)
Existe una utilidad muy interesante dentro de los Windows Mobile Developer PowerToys llamada ActiveSync Remote Display. Esta herramienta permite ver en una ventana del PC la pantalla del dispositivo Windows Mobile que esté conectado en un momento dado mediante ActiveSync. Yo la uso principalmente a la hora de hacer presentaciones o charlas, aunque es muy útil también para realizar capturas de pantalla de los dispositivos.

La utilidad está diseñada para dispositivos Windows Mobile hasta la versión 2003 SE, de manera que si se intenta usar con un dispositivo Windows Mobile 5.0 no funciona, simplemente muestra un error y se cierra.

Pero es posible usarla con Windows Mobile 5.0. Para ello, simplemente hay que copiar los dos ficheros del directorio

C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile Developer Power Toys\ActiveSync_Remote_Display\devices\wce400\armv4t

al directorio “\Windows” del dispositivo y ejecutar la utilidad.

Yo lo he probado en mi JasJar y la calidad de la imagen no es tan buena como debería ser (supongo que por ser un dispositivo con resolución VGA – 640x480–, cuando la utilidad se diseñó sólo para QVGA – 240x320). La velocidad de refresco de la imagen también deja algo que desear, pero al menos se puede utilizar de momento hasta que se actualice la aplicación para funcionar con las nuevas versiones de los dispositivos.
