If you copy/paste the code from the web page you miss a &#39;||&#39; which causes the error as it should be:<br /><br /> if (!fFirstCall || ::MessageBoxW(0, Message, _T(&quot;SplashScreenSample&quot;), MB_YESNO) == IDYES)<br /><br />Note the || after the !fFirstCallAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366671410070576626.post-79449548663025334832010-07-28T09:13:13.370-03:002010-07-28T09:13:13.370-03:00Your series is by far the most helpful resource on the web for creating a Setup DLL. For a realistic EULA, though, the full dialog approach with scrollable edit box is a must. <br /><br />No good resource exists for building a Setup DLL with a full fledged dialog. Not *just* begging for myself, but if you can post about this, it would be the one and only usable walkthrough of this process on the Internet.<br /><br />Regardless, thanks for getting us started.

Windows Mobile and CE use Unicode characters, so their strings contain two bytes for each character.<br />This macro lets the compiler know that this will be a Unicode string if you are building a Unicode app, which is the case for windows Mobile.<br />HTH!Jose Gallardohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06990898488326736094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366671410070576626.post-19224503206515023682009-09-01T18:39:25.343-03:002009-09-01T18:39:25.343-03:00hello everyone,<br /><br />i&#39;m not a c++ developer, and so I need some help in the explanation. i was looking at the code, sepcifically the code below:<br /><br /><br />if (!fFirstCall::MessageBoxW(0, Message, _T(&quot;SplashScreenSample&quot;), MB_YESNO) == IDYES)<br /> return codeINSTALL_INIT_CONTINUE;<br /> else<br /> return codeINSTALL_INIT_CANCEL;<br /><br /><br />what does the following mean:<br />_T(&quot;SplashScreenSample&quot;)<br /><br />thank u very muchSamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366671410070576626.post-18079104590880634342009-09-01T17:44:48.169-03:002009-09-01T17:44:48.169-03:00great article on setting up the EULA stuff... great site, many great examples of .net ce and how to use it. for this post/article, the terms and condition/agreement verbage are hard coded into the code... lets say if i have the verbage in a flat file (txt file), what would be the easiest way to load the verbage from the flat file into my code to have it show up when installing???????<br /><br />thank u very much for ur help<br /><br />much appreciatedSamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366671410070576626.post-32326682276352740202009-03-30T12:54:00.000-03:002009-03-30T12:54:00.000-03:00Thanks you for this article, very helpful !<BR/><BR/>But I have a little issue: the scroll line isnt "forced".<BR/><BR/>I'm getting a long long box, with no view on the yes/no buttons :/<BR/><BR/>I work on a Samsung i900 (Omnia).<BR/><BR/>Thanks you for your reply ;)Juhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17625504313356831014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366671410070576626.post-39001408454726576512009-03-09T12:15:00.000-02:002009-03-09T12:15:00.000-02:00Thanks for a great walkthrough - unfortunately only a standard device solution. I hope you find time soon to provide a professional device alternative as it does not seem trivial at all. If you have any hints/suggestions/examples, these would be very welcome too.Prezimirhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00646852788932349672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366671410070576626.post-31816760373026958482009-02-28T22:32:00.000-02:002009-02-28T22:32:00.000-02:00Great post.

Thank you!! <BR/><BR/>I develop an application where the user has to enter a password upon installation, which has to be entered each time the application starts. Additionally deinstallation should be protected by this password as well.<BR/><BR/>The application is developed in .net cf 2.0 (c#) and the code to set and ask for a password already exists. Is there any way to reuse that code?<BR/><BR/>If not, what would be the best/most simple way to ask the user for a password from setup.dll?<BR/><BR/>And last but not least, is it possible to automatically start the application after installation?dominikgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366671410070576626.post-35716949549775662952008-12-10T22:33:00.000-02:002008-12-10T22:33:00.000-02:00Thanks for your comments.<BR/>FroggEye and Pappu, I'll try to post soon about a Dialog approach for Professional/Classic Editions (PocketPC).<BR/><BR/>Ulys: You should get just a message box in WM6 Professional.

I do have a question though. I want to check some prerequisites first, if not installed then install them. Of course I would have to show the prerequisites on the screen and if they are or are not installed (Similar to installing SQL or VS). I am a VB prgrammer and have done very, very little in C# and even less in C++ so this is all foregin to me. Any blogs you have or know of any examples?FroggEyenoreply@blogger.com
