Programming for Windows CE with VB

6 New Member
Hi, this is kind of the next stage to a dimmer lighting project i posted about previously. I just wondered if it was possible to write programs for CE using Visual Basic 6? i'm developing a lighting system that uses a number of touchcreens to enable the user to interect with it. As a prototype i want to use a thin client system running Windows CE 5 with a touchscreen attatched. The program i want to write would be for the client side (written for CE) to communicate with a server (written for windows XP) using microsoft winsock presumeably (which i don't have any expereince with yet..) The program would be relatively simple but with a nice GUI.
I have seen Windows CE tools for visual basic 6 available, but it seems to be hard to get hold of in the UK, and also very expensive... is this a requirement for CE programming?

Any help or ideas would be grately appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Adam

Hello! I am looking for a beginners tutorial on how to program for windows in C. I guess this is windows API? I have never written outside of VC++ for windows, and can't find any examples. I don't think that this is a DevC++ specific question. I have written a simple application which locates duplicate files; it first compares file sizes, and then runs an SHA-256 (might switch to Adler 32)

Hi, I was going through Mr "Richard heathfields" site , it is written as follows:- Some people think C has no role to play in the modern programming world. I would consider this opinion to have rather more validity if it weren't for the fact that even those who express it use C code on a daily basis (whether they realise it or not). C programs and libraries are woven into the very fabric of the modern programming world, and

There are many languages around: C++, JAVA, PASCAL, and so on. I tried to learn C++ and JAVA, but ended up criticizing them. Is it because C was my first programming language? I like C because, comparatively, it is small, efficient, and able to handle large and complex tasks. I could not understand why people are using and talking about other programming languages.
