i want to make a call from my application, please help
PS: i am using .net cf
thanx
Use "phoneMakeCall "function
Find "phoneMakeCall" function infomation in MSDN library.
I was unable to find that function in the MSDN library. I found more, but they were .NET functions.
I am interested in the same functionality as the tel: protocol. Does anyone know what the parameter is that I can send to cprog.exe so it knows what number I want to dial (if it's possible). And if there is a way to make the phone automatically dial that number would be great.
The tel: protocol is really kind of weak for applications outside of IE. Having to launch a blank window is a horrible user experience.
Thanks in advance,

Hi there
Try this link:
http://smartdevices.microsoftdev.com/Learn/Articles/622.aspx
Discribed is a away to use the TAPI through p/Invoke.
It was a bit of hard work, but after only 1/2 a Day i made my first phonecall to a telephonenumber, stored in my App's database.
Generally i found out, that http://smartdevices.microsoftdev.com is a good starting point for searching information (and of course this forum ;-))
Hi
Thx for the link, It helped me a lot. I didn't get the VB.NET part of the sample code (Downloaded) to work when I was calling a phone number. It seems that the phone is not converted correctly. The SMS part of the VB sample works ok although.
The CS sample work OK, I could make a phone call in minuts, using the sample code.
So if I can't find the reason for the error in the VB sample, I must stick to the CS code.

Details for .Net developers:
The PhoneMakeCall function is not the tricky part of this.
For .net newcomers it's P/Invoke that makes this a little more difficult,
than just using a dll.
1. You have to create a Class (for Example: Phone) that hold the functionality. Because we are using P/Invoke, don't forget using System.Runtime.InteropServices!
2. In your new created Phone Class declare 2 statics, that help us with the option of Prompting before making a call, one of them will fill the dwFlags part of our Infostructure:
private static long PMCF_DEFAULT = 0x00000001;
private static long PMCF_PROMPTBEFORECALLING = 0x00000002;
3. Now to define the allready by yrj mentioned PhoneMakeCallInfo structure. it should look like this:
private struct PhoneMakeCallInfo
{
public IntPtr cbSize;//size of struct
public IntPtr dwFlags;//prompt or not
public IntPtr pszDestAddress;//pointer to CharArray with
//Phone number
public IntPtr pszAppName;//nothing
public IntPtr pszCalledParty;//nothing
public IntPtr pszComment;//nothing
}
4. The import of the Phone.dll function should be no problem:
[DllImport("phone.dll")]
private static extern IntPtr PhoneMakeCall(ref PhoneMakeCallInfo ppmci);
5. Now you have to create a fucntion that instantiates a PhoneMakeCall infoStructure and call the newly Invoked PhoneMakeCall-function.
Now, have fun!
Hi,
I need to use the C++ version of this. The code should gather information and show this in a notification.
The notification works but I want to receive the choice the user made in the html form.
I know I need to use the hwsink, a message map, and some events but cannot find info (book, example, etc.) how.
Could some one finish this code so I can test what has been chosen. If NOT, please give me an C++ example from which I can learn/copy. I have been searching on google for days now
Thx, for your help
BTW:
I started with this http://www.krvarma.com/?p=146 downloaded code but was a bit to complicated. In it is all I need but i would like it to be in 1 cpp file.

Hi,
as I understand your article (http://www.krvarma.com/?p=146)
you need to create window, then assign it's HWND
to SHNOTIFICATIONDATA member HWND hwndSink;
then "The system will send WM_COMMAND with wParam set to 1000 to the hwndSink window." so - you need to handle WM_COMMAND in your window and check wParam - if it is equal to your parameter, then this message means "system sends you user choice from your html".

Exactly as i understand it.
So I tried copying code from that article into my code but got stuck with really not understandable compiler errors. I think I need to find a good book explaining this message map.
The first thing I do not understand is that I only want to show the notification bubble (is working). If I create a windows handle (how?) will this overwrite the current screen (this is something I do not want).
window can be invisible.
I'm Win32 programmer, and I don't know exactly about WinCE.
If you are using VisualC++, I think you should use MFC, it's very easy to create window and then create message handler for this window.
search google for some
"WinCE c++ tutorial" and you will find how to create window and setup message loop. (add "Hello world" phrase to your search - this is usually used as very first example)
for example: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/ltwtdlg.aspx

Can you switch between MFC, ATL, etc. ? I know they are some kind of libraries but thought "don't look at it, there too much to learn/understand anyway ".
I've search but somehow you think there is the solution and then you learn the hard way, it's very old code. Will search further offcourse and I am reading a chapter on classes and if I can find; messages.
it's already very easy to handle messages without any MFC overload. Just check the uMsg parameter in your DefWindowProc. If you create a new Win32 project in Visual C++ wizard then you see what it's looking like. This is mandatory knowledge. Usually first thing you learn after Hello World. If you didn't know about message processing in Windows/Wince then it's the same like sitting in a car and don't know how to turn the keys.
Do you know how to open dsm file in textbox???

Thats how I feel exactly. It's strange. I read quickly thru 3 books about C++ and no mention of these messages. C#/Basic are easier to understand because of all the examples.
Found these:
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWVGqV2Yklw
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbe6yxBHEiU
The video does explain that the linked example doesn't look so different. What a lot of source code Ms creates for you..
If created a WIN32 smart device project and DefWindowsProc is only called when to pass the message to other programs. I need the windows handle for the notification and NOT display the window.
But again it's a bit to much for me at this moment. I haven't got a solution yet..Could somebody help me with not displaying this window. I would still like to use the windows handle to make sure I get the callbakcs to the WM_COMMAND.
Yes - I think you only need at end of WinMain before SHNotificationRemove
to add:
Code:
while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0))
{
if (!TranslateAccelerator(msg.hwnd, hacc, &msg))
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
Then a new function:
Code:
/* Redefine generic HANDLE_WM_ACTIVATE macro for Pocket PC */
#undef HANDLE_WM_ACTIVATE
#define HANDLE_WM_ACTIVATE(hwnd,wParam,lParam,fn) \
(SHHandleWMActivate((hwnd), (wParam), (lParam), &g_sai, 0), /*return*/ 0L)
/* Redefine generic HANDLE_WM_SETTINGCHANGE macro for Pocket PC */
#undef HANDLE_WM_SETTINGCHANGE
#define HANDLE_WM_SETTINGCHANGE(hwnd,wParam,lParam,fn) \
(SHHandleWMSettingChange((hwnd), (wParam), (lParam), &g_sai), /*return*/ 0L)
static LRESULT CALLBACK MainWndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
switch (msg)
{
HANDLE_MSG(hwnd, WM_CREATE, Main_OnCreate);
HANDLE_MSG(hwnd, WM_ACTIVATE, /* SHHandleWMActivate()*/ 0);
HANDLE_MSG(hwnd, WM_SETTINGCHANGE, /* SHHandleWMSettingChange() */ 0);
HANDLE_MSG(hwnd, WM_PAINT, Main_OnPaint);
HANDLE_MSG(hwnd, WM_COMMAND, Main_OnCommand);
HANDLE_MSG(hwnd, WM_DESTROY, Main_OnDestroy);
[B]// Remark: Here you can add more messages - also for what user has chosen.[/B]
default:
return DefWindowProc(hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam);
}
}
and then the message handlers like this:
Code:
static BOOL Main_OnCreate(HWND hwnd, CREATESTRUCT *pcs)
{
SHMENUBARINFO mbi;
memset(&mbi, 0, sizeof(mbi));
mbi.cbSize = sizeof(mbi);
mbi.hwndParent = hwnd;
mbi.nToolBarId = IDR_MNU_MAIN;
mbi.hInstRes = g_hInstance;
if (!SHCreateMenuBar(&mbi)) /* create the menu bar */
return FALSE;
g_hwndMB = mbi.hwndMB;
return TRUE;
}
But your Compiler should already make such a project by default and you can simple add the code fom _tmain to WinMain, which you've posted above.

Thank you, yesterday I debugged and and debugged trying to understand how this works but the debugger doesn't stop always in all source code.
If f.i. you click on the screen I expected this to be an event, but the debugger didn't stop at all. Is there a command to always stop when a line of code is processed? Now it only stops when I have set a break point. I want to see every line processed...
I will try to implement your suggestions. For a newby it still looks difficult I hope someday I will look back to this and say "wow, that was so easy".

Well, actually that's the reason why breakpoints exist. To stop the debugger and allow you look at the running code..... or what else did you think??

I want to say "stop and show at the current code line".
For example you start your program, goto the appropiate window, type in some data and NOW before you click on SAVE. You say to your debugger "catch this/coming event".
Debugger would stop if you'd handle this event and set break point to 1st command of this function.
then yo can go step by step through each line of code.
and hey: it's not soo easy,which I posted.But your Compiler (vs2008 or PellesC or whatever) would make this automatically for you and you only have to copy your part of code into WinMain of this automatic processed code.
The "Managers" then can help you also to add eventhandlers automatically.
you only have to set Breakpoints to the automatic processed Event-Handle-Function - them you can see,if this event is triggered like you want it.
You only think from the wrong direction
Ok, I learned a lot.
(The VS2008 debugger has bugs. If I set a breakpoint on line 100, and start debug, line 109 has the breakpoint. It looks like only the original code can be debugged)
I did start a new project and used the tips from above. I can catch a click on a link ahref field in the notification bubble.
I have disabled the screen so only the bubble is shown
Now I need to catch the menu button and more important the data in the html form (input type radio) in the notification bubble. For this I need to convert the param to a structure...!
I also need to extend the "while getmessage" loop with a timer. If 15 seconds have passed, I need to step out of the loop and quit automatically.
A lot of searching again.
BTW.
Thx all for helping me. Not really one tip did it, you all guided me a bit. If you think your tip helped me a lot then send me a PM with your paypal code. You can also send me your address/or your businessaddress. I will send you a small present/surprise related to my country (Holland).
in Germany we have a good cheese, too and the sense of a community like this great one,is for helping each other-especially beneath developers.
And it's always a question of finding out,how to manage something new
All the best for your further development.

Attached is the code of my subproject. I will update it if those last points are done. Hope it helps others.
If someone has a link or example code for those points. (or improvements of my code) please let me know.
Hi gents.
I want to ask you,how can I use external font loaded from ttf file in my app,developed under Embedded Visual C++?
I need to easily change color and size of the font and using the DrawText() function make an output into current DC.
Can someone make an example for me please?
Thank you.
Here's the bare bones of it ,you'll have to flesh it out to suit. It might not be perfect but it works.
Global Variable
Code:
HFONT g_hfont;
Forward declaration of EnumFontProc()
Code:
int CALLBACK EnumFontsProc(LOGFONT *lplf, TEXTMETRIC *lptm, DWORD dwType, LPARAM lpData);
In WM_PAINT print it out. I'll use Wingdings. The name in the EnumFonts must match the actual name of the font as declared in the TTF file.
Code:
case WM_PAINT:
RECT rt;
hdc = BeginPaint(hWnd, &ps);
GetClientRect(hWnd, &rt);
EnumFonts(hdc,TEXT("Wingdings"),(FONTENUMPROC) EnumFontsProc,NULL);
SelectObject(hdc,g_hfont);
DrawText(hdc,TEXT("12345"),5, &rt, DT_SINGLELINE | DT_VCENTER | DT_CENTER);
DeleteObject(g_hfont);
EndPaint(hWnd, &ps);
break;
In EnumFontsProc set the font to the first font given. Returning 0, ends the enumeration, non zero, give me the next.
To change the size do it here by changing lplf->lfHeight and lplf->lfWidth
Code:
int CALLBACK EnumFontsProc(LOGFONT *lplf, TEXTMETRIC *lptm, DWORD dwType, LPARAM lpData)
{
g_hfont = CreateFontIndirect(lplf);
return 0;
}
To load and release your font add the code below to the message handling sections.
Code:
WM_CREATE:
AddFontResource(TEXT("\\Storage Card\\myfont.TTF"));
WM_DESTROY:
RemoveFontResource(TEXT("\\Storage Card\\myfont.TTF"));
Here's the proof it works, (with Wingdings anyway!)
Thanks man,I will try it ASAP.
Well,is it possible to read the ttf file directly from exe resource also?
I am still learning C++,so some things are a bit unclear for me. Can you please post this source?
This stuff is explained fully at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa911455.aspx
I've just taken a few shortcuts with it.
The zip file contains the main .cpp file of the above project. It does not include the AddFontResource or RemoveFontResource statements.
Create a shell WinMo application and replace the main program .cpp file with it.
AddFontResource can only accept the path to a True Type font TTF file as an argument.
The thing you have got to get your head around are CALLBACK routines, they are used during most enumeration routines, and are widely used in Win32 for all sorts of things. A Win32 app's WndProc it itself a callback routine. In the case of EnumFonts, you pass the address of the callback routine to the enumerating function, which will call your function once for every instance it finds that matches your request. You terminate the sequence by returning 0 or it will carry on until there are no instances left. You have to decide what to do with the results. In my case I take the first Wingding font I'm offered, then quit.
Be aware that there is little, or no error handling in this code. I cobbled it together pretty quickly to prove the point.
I remember reading somewhere that if you drop the .TTF file in the Windows directory, and do a soft reset, then Windows will pick it up as a resident font, so the AddFontResource and RemoveFontResource functions are not required. EnumFonts() should know about it, and present it accordingly.
Well,thank you very much for that,but can you please provide me full project source,including all the files? With working project,I can better understand the font loading principle.
Unfortunately,I am too busy nowadays to discover something,that I don't understand well,so every time save is a big plus for me. Thank you very much again.
Attached,
But, it is a VS 2008 Smart Device project. EVC won't read it.
You will have to create a shell hello world project in EVC and copy the modified code in the panels above from TestFont.CPP.
Hello.
Actually i've got it working,but I still cannot discover,how to resize the font.
Where should I exactly put the lfWidth and lfHeight?
I am now a bit confused of that.
This is my code:
Functions and declarations of HFONT,CALLBACK,WM_CREATE,WM_DESTROY are present as you described.
void ShowNumber(HDC hdc, int Value,int xrect,int yrect,int wrect,int hrect,HBITMAP source)
{
EnumFonts(hdc,TEXT("Sam's Town"),(FONTENUMPROC) EnumFontsProc,NULL);
SelectObject(hdc,g_hfont);
TCHAR szText[MAX_LOADSTRING];
int width,height;
rtText.right=wrect;rtText.bottom=hrect;width=wrect-xrect;height=hrect-yrect;
TransparentImage(hdc,xrect,yrect,width,height,source,xrect,yrect,width,height,RGB(255,0,255));
SetBkMode(hdc,TRANSPARENT);
if(Value<10) wsprintf (szText, TEXT ("0%d"),Value);else wsprintf (szText, TEXT ("%d"),Value);
rtText.left=xrect ;rtText.top=yrect ;SetTextColor(hdc,RGB(0,0,0)); DrawText(hdc,szText,2,&rtText,DT_SINGLELINE | DT_LEFT | DT_TOP);
DeleteObject(g_hfont);
}
int CALLBACK EnumFontsProc(LOGFONT *lplf, TEXTMETRIC *lptm, DWORD dwType, LPARAM lpData)
{
g_hfont = CreateFontIndirect(lplf);
return 0;
}
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This doesn't work:
lplf.lfWidth=0;
g_hfont = CreateFontIndirect(lplf);
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Actually I want to put one more parameter into ShowNumber() function,which will tell the function the size of the font.
You are nearly there...........
The code to set the font size will have to go in here.......
Code:
int CALLBACK EnumFontsProc(LOGFONT *lplf, TEXTMETRIC *lptm, DWORD dwType, LPARAM lpData)
{
lplf->lfHeight=14;
lplf->lfWidth=8;
g_hfont = CreateFontIndirect(lplf);
return 0;
}
Or whatever your values are, I just picked 8 and 14 as examples. If these values are passed as variables to another function above, store them as global variables, and use them here.
As lplf is passed to this function as a pointer to a LOGFONT structure, you have to use the -> operator to access its members. lplf.lfHeight won't work as you mentioned, that is for predeclared or static structures.
These values have to be changed here in the EnumFontsProc() routine before the font is created, as we are passing that pointer to create the font.
Good Luck!!
P.S. While we are here, let's tidy it up a bit.
Replace:
Code:
if(Value<10) wsprintf(szText,TEXT ("0%d"),Value);else wsprintf (szText,TEXT("%d"),Value);
with
Code:
wsprintf(szText, TEXT ("02%d"),Value);
A very big thanks for that.
I am still beginner in C++,so something can look very comic for others.
My beloved programming language is Pascal.
I really didn't think,that -> is an operator,I've just mentioned,you wrote it as something else(something like "to")
You are more than welcome.
Some features in C/C++ are not immediately obvious, but the real battle is fighting your way through the Win32 programming model, trying to get it to do what you want. Sometimes the simplest of things become maddeningly complicated, but the effort to do it properly is usually worth the effort.
Glad you got it working, best wishes, stephj.
Hello a bit later.
First of all,thank your for your explanation and now I am using this method successfuly.
I want to ask you now,if there is a way to get fixed pitch of the font,that is truetype. With standart font I can achieve with this...
lf.lfPitchAndFamily = (tm.tmPitchAndFamily & 0xf0) | TMPF_FIXED_PITCH;
I am using font,that displays numbers in "digital" mode(7-segment display) and I get the number "1" very narrow in comparison with others(actually it is narrow on any kind display,but is displayed on right segments,so "01" has adequate spacing on hard display). Now I get "0l_" instead of "0_l",that's not preferable.
Thanks in advance for reactions.
I don't think there the above method will work as each character has it own width associated with it.
A simpler approach, a bit of a pain, but which should work, is to draw/print the numeric value out one character at a time using DrawText(). Set a RECT structure up to hold the coordinates of the top left and bottom right of the area for each character.
Setting uFormat to DT_RIGHT will force the character to right align in the RECT area, so the '1' should appear correctly. Move the left and right values along a fixed amount for each character. A bit of trial and error will be involved first until you get the values just right.
Good luck, stephj.
[01/2/11] Update v2.1 - Downgraded .net to v2.0 - Should now work with VS2005!
[31/1/11] Update v2 - Now includes GPS Support!
[30/1/11] Update v1 - Initial Release - CellID Only!
I have created this DLL to allow developers to quickly and easily add support for locations. By using CellID and now GPS!
CellID: This way is done by getting looking at the Cell Towers your mobile is connected to.. and then by searching a database of Cell Locations you can work out an approximate location for your Device, Which is usually accurate within 50-100m!
GPS: I'm sure we all know what GPS is and how it works Instead of using the Cell Tower location to find your location, It takes the co-ordinates from the GPS to then query an online source to figure out your location, Which is as accurate as GPS can get! If you're outside and not blocked by many buildings it should be as accurate as <5m
To download see the attachments 'WMLocationInfo.rar' contains the DLL file only..
If you are unsure how to go about using this DLL, I have included a sample C# application with full source code, This will show you how to get location by both CellID and GPS
Please take note of the copyright info below, before downloading and using my DLL and/or Source Codes

Private Sub MenuItem3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem3.Click
GetCellId()
Label1.Text = lac & vbCrLf & mcc & vbCrLf & mnc
End Sub
when i click on Menu_Item3, the app hangs. is there an error in my code?
Have you added "Imports WMCellInfo" at the very top of the code??
also
Added reference to the DLL??
other than that the code looks fine..
I'm not a developer, but... I think I'll have to thank you for a future software that will use your dll
Thanks
Update!!
Now includes everything you need for getting your location via CellID AND GPS!!
GPS Has slightly more code to be able to use it in your project but it is necessary to use GPS
I have included a C# sample of using the DLL to get the location with CellID and GPS
I will also include a VB code sample in the next few days as soon as I have time to write it
You'll find all this in the 1st post as soon as I upload it

Hi david, i tried your sample code on my TD2 WM6.5 and it works. But when i use my own code:
Code:
Imports WMLocationInfo
Imports System
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Net
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports System.Text
Public Class Form1
'Setup variables needed throughout the source
Dim cellid As String, lac As String, mcc As String, mnc As String = Nothing
Private Sub MenuItem1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem1.Click
Application.Exit()
End Sub
Public Sub GetCellID()
'Retreive cell tower info from the DLL
Dim CellTowerInfo As WMLocationInfo.CellIDInfo.RILCELLTOWERINFO = WMLocationInfo.CellIDInfo.GetCellTowerInfo()
'Asign each variable with its cell data
cellid = CellTowerInfo.CellID.ToString()
lac = CellTowerInfo.LAC.ToString()
mcc = CellTowerInfo.MCC.ToString()
mnc = CellTowerInfo.MNC.ToString()
'Show the data on the form with labels or other controls...
Label1.Text = "CellID = " & cellid
Label2.Text = "LAC = " & lac
Label3.Text = "MCC = " & mcc
Label4.Text = "MNC = " & mnc
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
GetCellID()
End Sub
End Class
it just hangs.
I just tested your code, copied and pasted without editing, added reference to the DLL and it works great :/
See my attached images to add reference to the DLL correctly, if you haven't already
I also attached the VB project I made with your code..
Hi David, i think i found the culprit. i'm coding using DotNetv2.0 instead of 3.5
How do i integrate 3.5 to my Visual Studio 2005?

You cant im afraid. 3.5 is only available to VS2008 and above.
I'll try compiling the dll under v2.0 tomorrow as it does work I used the same code for my app in vs2005 before upgrading to 2008 with .net 3.5.
I think its because the dll is built under 3.5 their is not backward compatable but building it under v2.0 means it should work for both v2.0 and v3.5
I'll try it in the morning and post back if it works, then update the dll if it does
cheers,
-David

wow. thank you for your effort and time David.
-Updated post #1 with the dll using .net2.0, Should now work with VS2005 -
how do i get this on my phone?
This is only a DLL(Dynamc Link Library) of code which you can use to build your own program, using .netv2.0 and above with Visual Studio 2005-2008..
You can test the app I posted in post #1... Just copy the exe and dll from the bin/release folder and run it on your device..
Other than that you will have to write your own program to make use of this
An example is my 'Facebook Location' app I've posted
god this all goes over a common man head. need a simple xap file to make all this happen.
Cant open the sample project in VS2005.
Looking good though.
Yea, now I've downgraded the DLL I'll rewrite the VB and C# sample projects with 2005 anyone who uses 2008 it will update the project itself.
Gives the most compatibility, and use for people

Thanks, I could probably work through a VS2005 C# project but a VB one would be just ideal.
Just donated, have a beer or two on me. Would say whisky but the Irish stuff is better. LOL We have the best distillery 10 miles down the road.
Thanks! Can't say I've had many Irish whiskeys Jameson is about the only one I've tried. Oh and I had a glass or two of one my dad had, uhm Paddy I think it was called... 80 proof one
Mostly Scotch lol
I'll post up the VB one first, should be <30 minutes
If you get a chance try some Bushmills, best whiskey around.
Hello,
I recently bought and installed surfcube (which is pretty cool) but whenever i click on any link outside the browser (ex: twitter/ facebook), it automatically opens an IE window. Any hack out there to get that to go to a different browser, such as surfcube?
This may be based on the default handler for the http: URI format. If anybody finds a way to change this (either the URI handlers, file extension handlers, or just default browser) we would all love to know. I don't think anybody has pulled this off yet, though.

And almost more importantly, SurfCube doesn't have the code to read a URL from a command line (or whatever method is used), so the best it would do is just open the app without the specified URL.

Hi,
I am the developer of SurfCube - if somebody can figure out how to open it as the default browser, we will work hard on making it actually open the URL if it gets passed to us.
That would be pretty cool. I would suspect that there is a registry key for the default handling of URL's. Passing that URL to the third party browserr would most likely need command line and lower file system access.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT is present on WP7, although it works a little differently than on desktop Windows. One thing worth noting is that built-in software, such as IE, is invoked differently from installable apps. Built-in software is compiled to actual EXEs, which of course have a standard way to be passed parameters. WP7 apps are DLLs, invoked by a hosting EXE. Also, the way apps are specified is a bit weird; it's by GUID instead of by path.
There is one installable app which is registered as the handler for a file extension (Adobe Reader for PDF). By picking apart its registry entries, I have at least a partial view of how it works.
HKCR\.pdf:
Default = PDFFile
Content Type = application/pdf
HKCR\PDFFile
AppID = "BC4F319A-9A9A-DF11-A490-00237DE2DB9E"
Application Task = "app://BC4F319A-9A9A-DF11-A490-00237DE2DB9E/_default?"
EditFlags = d:0x00010000
HKCR\PDFFile\shell\open\command
Default = "app://5B04B775-356B-4AA0-AAF8-6491FFEA5665/_default?type=PDFFile&file=%s"
There are some interesting hings here. First of all, the BC4F GUID is the one for the Adobe Reader app. Therefore, AppID is the GUID for an installed app that handles a file or protocol association.
Second of all, the shell\open\command\Default value is present for every openable type, but the GUIDs it contains are *not* in the Applications list (note the difference between it and the AppID value). This appears to be how the OS specifies native applications.
Third, it *is* possible to pass parameters to installable apps. See the %s on the end of the value? That gets replaced by the filename, I suspect. Anybody want do pull apart the Adobe Reader or YouTube apps (the only ones with AppID values) and see how they do it?
Fourth, I'm pretty sure we can use this to add our own associations even if we can't get it to open files in them. I'm not sure how easy it will be, but it should be possible.
For those interested in browsers:
HKCR\http
Default = "HyperText Transfer Protocol"
Source Filter = "{97e7c245-4d6f-483b-a772-de22b15fa999}"
URL Protocol = ""
HKCR\http\Extensions
.3g2 = "{97e7c245-4d6f-483b-a772-de22b15fa999}"
.3gp = "{97e7c245-4d6f-483b-a772-de22b15fa999}"
.aif = "{e436ebb6-524f-11ce-9f53-0020af0ba770}"
... and 20-odd more like this
HKCR\http\Shell\Open\Command
Default = "app://5B04B775-356B-4AA0-AAF8-6491FFEA5665/_default?StartURL=%s"
HKCR\PROTOCOLS\Handler\about
CLSID = "{3050F406-98B5-11CF-BB82-00AA00BDCE0B}"
HKCR\PROTOCOLS\Handler\javascript
CLSID = "{3050F3B2-98B5-11CF-BB82-00AA00BDCE0B}"
HKCR\PROTOCOLS\Handler\mailto
CLSID = "{3050f3DA-98B5-11CF-BB82-00AA00BDCE0B}"
HKCR\PROTOCOLS\Handler\res
CLSID = "{3050F3BC-98B5-11CF-BB82-00AA00BDCE0B}"
... note that these GUIDs are very similar but not the same.
HKCR\.html
Default = "htmlfile"
Content Type = "text/html"
HKCR\htmlfile
Default = "HTML Document"
EditFlags = d:0x00010000
HKCR\htmlfile\CLSID
Default = "{25336920-03F9-11cF-8FD0-00AA00686F13}"
HKCR\htmlfile\Shell\Open\Command
Default = "app://FB04B775-356B-4AA0-AAF8-6491FFEA5660/_default?StartURL=file://%s
HKCR\MIME\Database\Content Type\text/html
CLSID = "{25336920-03F9-11cf-8FD0-00AA00686F13}"
Encoding = 08-00-00-00 (binary)
Extension = ".htm"
I'm omitting a few fairly irrelevant keys, like DefaultIcon. This FB04B775 app is interesting - it seems to serve as a launcher, although that's just a guess for now. In any case, it accepts parameters like StartURL, Type, and File (with the last two coming together) and file substitution (the %s that stands in for the URL or file).
Anybody want to have a go at detangling this?
Also, Good News Everyone: it *is* possible to add associations between unknown extensions and known files, at least. I just added HKCR\.log as a clone of HKCR\.txt (Default = "txtfile"; Content Type = "text/plain") and opening a .LOG file in Outlook now opens the file in Work (it used to trigger a MessageBox saying file type was not known). So cool!
Looks like you can override OnNavigatedTo (from PhoneApplicationBase class) and use NavigationContext.QueryString() to get the required information.
If you use something like
Default = "app://5B04B775-356B-4AA0-AAF8-6491FFEA5665/_default?type=PDFFile&file=%s"
you could use
var params = NavigationContext().QueryString();
if (params.ContainsKey("file"))
{
// code here
}
so any param of the caller url will be part of the query string dictionary.
Hope this helps.
P.S.: Office does it in a more elegant way , They use only one param "CmdLine" and can use the normal cmd line argument parsing on this param, e.g. ...........?CmdLine=-opendoc %s

Yes, this is pretty much what I wanted to go with. The question now is how to get SurfCube to open if you click on a link in en email or twitter or the poeple hub.
I can only imagine one solution (but my imagination is limited <g>): Create two apps.
1.) SurfCube prepared for parameter passing
2.) HomeBrew App which replaces HKCR\http\Shell\Open\Command

Yes, this is exactly what I am thinking about. But I need help with the second one from this group. Also, is there any way to do the registry edits on the emulator? I would prefer to play with that until things get fairly stable.
After digging a bit deeper, it looks like you are out of luck. I don't know why but the AppID of MobileIE is hardcoded in the WebBrowserTask (reference assemblies and Samsung Omnia 7 GAC assembly):
ChooserHelper.LaunchSession("app://5B04B775-356B-4AA0-AAF8-6491FFEA5660/_default?StartURL=" + this.URL);
So, even if you manage to change the html handler, you won't get the calls from the correspondig task.
Long time since I've seen something hardcoded like this on a windows platform...
I can't confirm this now, but I think 5b04b is actually the application host process. In other words, it's the thing that makes the navigation buttons work, and which runs the installable app DLLs. The StartURL parameter may just mean "look up things defined as a URL Protocol (HTTP is one such thing) and launch the corresponding app." The Filter value may be relevant here, perhaps even as the actual app id for IE. In any case, I get the feeling that the reason it's hard-coded is because it's the launcher app, and StartUrl is just how you tell it to invoke the web browser.
However, the hardcoded GUID and the ones in htmlfile, http and related keys is different from for example the one used in PDFFile.
Crap, you're right. I wasn't paying enough attention to the last couple digits. It doesn't help that searching registry data (as opposed to keys and value names) doesn't seem to work. I'm tempted to say that some experimentation is in order, although I'd prefer to know what I'm messing with.
