Guest othoca Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I'm interested in writing a plugin to add functionalities to the home screen of my imate sp5m. After a little search i've seen that these plugins r written only in c++. Also installing VS2005 under C:\Program files\Windows CE Tools\wce500\Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone SDK\Samples\CPP\Win32\Homescreen there is a sample how to do that (always in c++). I've read that these plugins r mainly COM objects, but i've found only examples in c++. Now i ask if it is possible to write a such plugin in c# or vb under VS2005 and if there a sample somewhere on the net. Thank u. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 No transparency = ugly tho! You can't write true complete plugins in managed code, they need at least an unmanaged wrapper. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
