Default Is there small unofficial API (or SDK) for PPC2002 ?

Hello there,
as you know, MS PPC SDK is too big for dial up user like me

So, I'm looking for small unofficial API so I can download it and develop for it
I don't need a big API, jus API lets me add textbox and button

If there is no such API like this, please I need some developer to develop small application. I'll tell him details (Its sooo small app)

Regards

For simple apps, it's quite easy to knock them up in HTML and javascript. Also the PPC platform contains an ASP web server, for more complex apps that need file access etc. It also means that you can build/tweak them on the go directly on the device.

Yeah, unfortunately it'd all run under pocket internet explorer.

There's a plethoa of other freebie/cheap languages out there
PocketC; NSBasic; CEBasic; PocketPCPython; Waba; PocketScheme; J; etc; but at the end of the day it's worth getting the MS dev tools as they're what everybody uses.

Don't MS offer a CD of it for a nominal charge .. aha eVT3 $7.85 from https://microsoft.order-5.com/trials...ookie%5Ftest=1

What exactly is it you're trying to build and on what platform?

Thanks very much for the link

I'll buy it now, its really cheap

I want to develop a program for PPC2002 PE, Windows2003Mobile to handle SMS better than inbox program

I found good program for developing palm os,symbian and ppc applications using VB6. the program is MobileVB and it is not too big to download

Handling SMS - a word of caution, the XDAI doesn't have a decent way of handling SMS receiving - you either need to pick it up from the inbox, or replace the entire existing SMS handing application with your own app - and that's a lot of code - not just messages, but also receipts, QOS, WAP push etc.

MobileVB is quite nice, but it's rather expensive for the casual developer.

Hello there
Thanks for answering

I bought eVT and waiting for it
I tried MobileVB but it doesn't worth that money so I didn't buy it

Actually , my idea was to get the messages from sms inbox and show it to be compaitable with nokia screen in addition to to view MMS better and Biz Cards correctly

If you have any helpfull informations I'll be glad to hear from you

Regards
