In addition to the standard data collection
points in Pocket PC Creations, the Custom Point property enables special
points developed outside of Pocket PC Creations to be placed
within Pocket PC Creations to take advantage of it's many standard
features. Custom points can be built in Visual C++ or another
language capable of creating COM objects and placed into the Pocket PC
Creations program folders on the desktop PC and Pocket PC. Such Custom
points are then available for use in design of projects, see
Ultra
Drop, GPS,
Camera, Voice
Recorder,
Telegram,
Print, Slider, Event
Counter, Stopwatch
, Numpad,
Incrementor and Formatter
custom points. Pocket PC Creations Trial, Personal and
Team include the
UltraDrop, Telegram, Print, Camera, Numpad and Incrementor points as examples of Custom point applications. See Creating
Custom Points, a short guide for programmers.
Installation: Custom points from
CreativityCorp are provided with their own installers. To install, CLOSE Pocket PC
Creations on both Pocket PC and desktop PC, place Pocket PC in ActiveSync cradle, and double
click custom point file on desktop to install to both desktop and Pocket PC. Custom
points are available in the project design view in the 'Add New
Point' window, with their own distinguishing icons.
Custom points can
also be installed to remote Pocket PCs by email or by transport using a
File Point; copy the relevant custom point .DLL file from a Pocket PC
(usually in Program Files / PPCC folder), transport and then paste to
the same folder on another Pocket PC. If any difficulties are
experienced installing custom points in Vista operating systems,
please contact support
for assistance; custom
points cannot be
installed from a 'user' account in Vista. [Bugs: If a custom
point doesn't function on the Pocket PC, it is probably because Pocket PC
Creations wasn't closed on the Pocket PC before installing the custom
point.exe program file, see above.]
Note: custom points
will only operate if Pocket PC Creations is installed on Pocket
and desktop PCs.
