demo works fine on emulator but not on scanner
« on: August 07, 2014, 09:50:49 am »
I've have done everything (except the sqlite driver) to create an emulator.
This is working fine. I can create an wince application (form,label,edit,memo,button) and show it in my emulator (pocket pc). So you think it's working, so copied my executable to my barcodescanner (MC9100 series, winCE 5.0) and run it.
I'm only see some flash, no form on screen. Only a button in the taskmanager which shows the application is started.

Only a warm reboot can get my barcodescanner back to his origin settings.

Are there any other things that I have to do to get it work?
Lazarus 2.06 (64b) / FPC 3.0.4 / Windows 10
stucked on Delphi 10.3.1

Can You specify a precise model of Motorola and WinCE version ?
Lazarus 1.8.4 + FPC 2.6.4 x86 (rebuild) and Lazarus 2.0, Windows 7 x64, unless otherwise specified

Have you set top and left of the form to 0?

I have same problem with my Psion Workabout Pro 3.
No form at all but application is running.

Top := 0; Left:=0;  - doesn't work.
Position := poDesktopCenter; - doesn't work.

Try 'killing' it in Task Manager (in my device Start -> Shortcuts -> Task Manager).



=====================

FOUND IT!!

Try edit source project file and add there

Code: [Select]
begin
...
Application.ApplicationType := atPDA;  // <- add this line
Application.Initialize;
...

it worked for me :) i can see form now

I found 'my' solution on some forum topic.

On your link (official info) there is nothing usefull for that particular problem or solution to it.

So... hint... hint.... hint... come on it cannot be SO HARD.... why not add the info so others do NOT run into it again?

That link is not "official" because ANYONE can and should edit it - those pages do not write themselves.

My apologies though I hadn't noticed you're new on the forum and perhaps to the wiki as well. The wiki is meant to gather info in an easy to find way while the forum is more useful for asking specific questions...

Thanks.

stupid, stupid, stupid

Never realized that a screen of a scanner is much smaller then a 20" wide screen.
After changing left and top to 0 gave me the application visible on screen.

Now I can go further
