Hello,

My boss asked me to write a set of API which used to transfer/recept massage from PDA through RS232 interface.

Although it is easy for me to search for source code.
But it is hard for me to comprehend them since I never programming on EVC++ before.

I would like to search for tutorial and writing my own rather than downloading the code from internet.
However, it seems that there are few tutorial online.

Would you please recommand tutorial for me?

Thanks a lot.

To my knowledge there are not tutorials specifically targed to eVC++ 3.0 or eVC++ 4.0 compilers. They just use a subset of the destop win32 api functions. Each manufacturer of a PDA has its own SDK so you need to install that in your computer too. The SDKs I have used have several example programs that illustrate how to use them. You also need to know the processor type that the PDA is running, such as ARM, SH1, etc. And what operating system, such as WinCE 3.0, WinCE 4.0, WinCE .NET, PocketPC 2002, PocketPC 2003, or something else.

You will probably also need to install Microsoft Active Sync so that programs can be easily downloaded to the PDA when it is connected to your computer either via RS232 port (such as COM1) or USB port (most newer PDAs connect through USB ports).

Once you know all that and have the SDK(s) installed you can begin to write programs.
