I donwloaded windev mobile.I downloaded the express version.This is my first time ever working with this tool.I have a question though
Will the tag "express version" be there until i get the full version.Isn't there a way to remove it?
Yes. WinDev Mobile Express is not meant to be used to create applications that are going to be delivered. So they add the tag to encourage users to buy the full version.
True,
You can check power of Windev Mobile and create unlimited application without any restrictions. The only restriction is nag screen that reminds you for trial version.
I highly recommend you to go for WX

Ok, so I have a Flex application developed using Apache FB 4.14 SDK. I got it working and approved on App Store and Play Store. Now my client is looking to port the app on Windows Phone. I tried some googling but all I found is about Astoria project, which is recently dropped by Microsoft. So My question from you folks is what is the best way to port the Flex code for Windows phone with minimal efforts?
Sadly, there is currently no easy path from Flex to Windows Phone.
The road map also states no current plans to add support: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplatform/whitepapers/roadmap.html
You will have to port your game to a different engine. How much work that is, and which engine you should use, depends a lot on the nature of your app.
It also depends on if you want to make a Windows code base just for that platform, or if you want to port to something to have one code base for all mobile platforms
I am trying to build a simple app using tidesdk , but unfortunately as stated here :
https://stackoverflow.com/a/14207566/1724929
that currently there is no way to protect the source code which is visible to the app users.
but after taking a look at wunderlist for Windows which is built using tidesdk and .net framework , i saw that the source code is not visible also i searched if it were hidden somewhere but i found nothing , so any one have an idea how they protect the source code from being visible . is there any tool or something to achive that ?
Latest version of Wunderlist is not built using TideSDK. They have re-implemented all different versions pure natively on each platform they are supporting.
TideSDK currently does not support Code hiding however the Developers of TideSDK are developing TideKit which is releasing soon with a new CLI, app and will provide platform builds. It will also provide Code Hiding. You can follow recent developments at http://www.tidekit.com. The video of what is coming is here: http://youtu.be/aE7gN-d0GhU. This will give you modern tools to use where the experience of creating and your projects is much better.
I am having an application that will be installed on various machines. Now if i have a newer version than the installed one, i need to inform the users that an update is available. An update that shows up in Mozilla Firefox about a newer version,similar to that. Is this possible to implement?? Or how those Firefox guys implementing that feature? My application has been implemented using Qt 4.4. But i guess this doesn't conform to a specific programming language. I have virtually no idea about implementing this so any ideas regarding this are welcome.
you need a web site page, like http://yourapp.com/version
and place version number in this page.
each time your app runs, check this page(quietly),
if found version > current version, then open a confirm window.
I have an ASP.NET web application where a portion of it needs to run in a web browser as a public facing terminal.
Essentially it is used to capture anonymous user feedback (wizard control on a .aspx) in a commercial location such as a shop.
An administrator will login and prep the application for 'terminal' mode.
The terminal is a normal PC with keyboard and/or mouse like device.
I would like to prevent users from:
Viewing the browser menu's, pushing back button and/or entering a different URI in the URL and also disallow keyboard shortcuts from bypassing the intended looping functionality of the application that is running?
Which browser is best suited for its ability to disable functionality as mentioned? The app runs on IE/FF/Chrome/Opera/Safari.
HOW would one go about configuring the machine and/or browser so it is locked to prevent unauthorized/unintended use?
On a side note, I guess the web application session needs to have an unlimited timeout?
Thanks for your input!
EDITED: I am leaving the question as unanswered for now... I would like to see responses that highlight possible options for the other browsers as well.
You can run Internet Explorer in Kiosk mode.
Please see this MS KB article.
Simply put, start Internet Explorer with the -k argument
There seems to be some commercial products available also, like this.
Try How to use Kiosk Mode in Microsoft Internet Explorer
Also, there are many Kiosk tools to assist in locking down a machine. Example: http://www.thekioskstore.com/index.php/software/kiosk-lock-down
Firefox has at least two plugins (and possibly many more):
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1659
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/509
It is also possible to lock down KDE and GNOME (GNOME at least has a built in tool), which you can also use to lock down the rest of the system. I suggest installing Ubuntu if the web app is running on another system.
If you have to use MS Windows, check out: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/sharedaccess/seeit/internetcafe.mspx.
You can use an opensource Linux distribution designed for this very purpose, http://webconverger.com/
According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa916070.aspx (DnsQuery_W), DNS query libraries are available on Windows Mobile / CE developers for versions 5.0 onwards. Yet, "#include " gives nasty "file not found" errors. What gives?
Strangely enough "dnsapi.lib" is available. Does Microsoft actually expect developers to scavenge the file from somewhere?..
The posted thread here claims that this API is not actually available in Windows Mobile 5 (and perhaps later?), despite claiming otherwise. I looked through the Mobile 5 and 6 SDKs, and didn't see this API either, so perhaps the thread's suggestion might work for you:
If it's a simple host name->IP address
(IPv4 or v6), you can use getnameinfo
in Winsock. The DNSQuery_W is only
needed if you're doing like a
non-A/AAAA query. If you're doing
that, we really don't have any helpers
to do that for you from the OS side -
sorry. You may look around to see if
there's helper library floating around
out there that you may be able to
recompile for CE (assuming you're
comfortable with whatever licensing
agreements they may put on you.)
getnameinfo should be documented here (for Windows Mobile), in case that helps.
If you are really after 'windns.h', I found it in the WM5/WM6/WM6.1 Platform Builders in
\public\common\sdk\inc
The hard part is getting access to the WM Platform Builder if your an ISV. That I can't help you with.
