Minimo 0.007 HPC & FullScreen patches

Hi,

After finding out how to make Minimo 0.006 work on an HPC (see my previous post in the HPC petition thread), i finally managed to make 0.007 also work!
Essentially you need another dummy DLL.

I also wrote a little loader app to fix the problem with Minimo not maximizing to full screen (should also work for WM2003 users with VGA screens, just test it and let me know).

If you have an ARM based Device you can download the precompiled files form my Page:

Go to the Colibri Software Download Section, then WinCE/Colibri_Software/Minimo/
Follow the instructions in the Minimo.txt file.

Let me know if that works for you too.

regards,

Cool! I test it at once on my VGA PL720!

Sorry, it doesn't seem to work on VGA devices. Everything is the same as with the original version.

Tried in SE/native VGA, with or without the two DLL's, with or without the forced mode patch, starting both EXE's - no success.

Unfortunately I have no WM2003 Device to test it right now... strange that it doesn't work.
I Tested it on our Colibri Module (WinCe 5.0, "HPC like" device, and it works)

My loader starts Minimo.exe, then waits for a console window to appear(hwndConsole=FindWindow(NULL, L"Console")), minimizes it (ShowWindow(hwndConsole, SW_MINIMIZE)), then waits for the Main Minimo Window (hwndMinimo=FindWindow(L"MozillaUIWindowClass", NULL)) and maximizes it (ShowWindow(hwndMinimo, SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)) .

Maybe the ShowWindow() API does not support this flags on WM2003.

I hope I get a WM2003 Device to test it soon.
