CreateThread function in windows 8.1 phone Applications

Hi,
can we use the CreateThread function in Windows 8.1 phone App's?
Windows Phone 8.1: This function is supported for Windows Phone Store apps on Windows Phone 8.1 and later.
Above line from MSDN, I see that it is supported for windows 8.1 and later. Does this mean it can used "without any" difference from the Desktop app's? Old desktop SW can be directly ported keeping this function intact to create the threads?
I'm asking this because, I have read in few (albeit OLD, blogs DOT msdn DOT com/b/shawnhar/archive/2012/03/12/createthread-for-windows-8-metro.aspx?PageIndex=2) blogs that WINRT does not have this and we cannot directly use this call, and port this to either
task based or have some other wrapper function as shown in the link.
Thanks.

Note that there is a workaround for Windows Store apps.

There is Windows 8.1 enough to develop Windows Phone Application ?

Hello,I want to buy a Windows 8.1 (NOT PRO) license for home use (for my own, not for a company). After that, I will get the Visual Studio Express
for Windows.  <a href="http://http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-express-vs.aspx">visual studio</a> <a
href="http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-express-vs.aspx"> </a>What I want to do in fact is to develop windows
mobile application, for Windows Phone 8.1.If I read from site above, it says that for the Windows Phone Emulator I have to have Windows 8.1 (x64) Professional
edition. Otherwise, I have to use a device to deploy or to test Windows Phone apps.For me is the best, because I already have a smartphone Windows Phone 8.1 (Nokia
Lumia 630). So, my question is : can I buy Windows 8.1
(NOT PRO) and still have the possibility to develop windows mobile application for Windows Phone 8.1, using my phone as testing and deploying device (again, I don’t need an emulator). With Windows 8.1 (NOT PRO) system operation installed on my PC, will I have
all the functionality of windows mobile developing, EXCEPT the emulator ?Thx 

Hello Ion Vlad,
You can find the system requirements for windows phone development at
[1].
According to this link, development for Windows Phone 8.1 requires a computer with one of the following operating systems,
-Windows 8.1 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64)
-Windows 8 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64)
-Windows 7 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) - requires Internet Explorer 10 or higher
If you need the windows phone emulator, then you will need windows 8 64-bit pro or higher.You can find the system requirements for windows phone emulator at

Flash Player doesn't work on Window 7 mobile phone

The Adobe Flash Player does not work on the Windows 7 mobile phone when you are randomly surfing the Internet. Pandora Internet Radio does not work at all, or any Internet Radio site. This is really a shame, that Microsoft and Adobe would allow a product to be released without all the functions and applications to meet the customers's needs. It appears that I will be returning my Windows 7 mobile phone. Very Unsatisfied.

Hi, I have the following info that may be helpful. If it isn't then I certainly would call Microsoft or visit Microsoft.com and look for the Win 7 mobile phone info and or forum.
You can also call your carrier, which should have info on whether Flash Player is available for it.

I don't know if those links have been updated or not.
Hope that gives you some direction on what to do.

Help! My Sony Ericsson T715A can no longer connect to my PC (Windows 7) in phone mode...

Sony Ericsson T715A: I can no longer connect in to my PC (Windows 7) in phone mode; so I can no longer sync contax, calendar, tasks etc. with MS Office Outlook. Also cannot back up phone, or
update software. Can only drag files out into Explorer folders. When I connect the phone, it has to be on. Instead of going right to phone/PC mode, I get a message on it saying "Phone functions are
not available in File Manager mode. Continue?" I say yes, whereupon the phone seems to restart, & then the Microsoft Autoplay folder comes up, or else I can find it in "devices and printers." R-
click the icon, "properties" Identifies it only as a generic Microsoft device. I tried running the computer troubleshooter on it, which came up w/nothing.
    After some period of time I will notice that the phone either rings and I can answer it, or it has stopped recharging, and the icon has disappeared from the PC.
    I had the 2007 version of PC Suite and PC Companion, and when I tried to install it on my 2010 PC w/ Windows 7 it said not compatible. I downloaded an update for that software from the SE site, but it didn't help. Then I ran the compatibility wizard in Windows 7 for PC Suite. Still no luck. I got a tip from an SE forum to uninstall all that software and download a certain package and start fresh. I am about to try that.
    Here is my question:
ALL T HIS TIME I have still been using the OLD SIM card from my SE ZZ710i in the newer phone. I figured it works; why not preserve the newer one from wear & tear as long as poss.
Now, it has been a while since I synched or backed up my phone. I hate to lose everything on it/the SIM card. If I install a whole new version of SE PC Suite, is it going to somehow overwrite or not work at all with my
old SIM card? Must I insert the NEW SIM 1st, & sacrifice whatever data is on the old one, before trying the new desktop software and updateing the phone?
As for updating the phone, which I realize wipes out data, it might be necessary.. I noticed in some Event log or other that some SE-related working file called EMMA was deleted recently, I don't know why. Anyone know anything about that?
Phew. The End. Here's hoping.

Dr Chris:
Thanx for answering my Q of a month ago. As you can see from my post of 18 minutes ago, things have gone from bad to worse under my neglectful eye.
To answer your answer:
a. I WAS using a NEW USB cord when I posed the question.
b. I've now downloaded the update service. I can try updating the phone from its File manager state. I'm just afraid whatever data is on it will get wiped, no?
Point of order:
If I've had an answer - or more than 1- to my question, but I still need to discuss it- should I Check the "Yes my question has been answered" box? I did not, here, because I thought it might result in my further questions dropping off the radar for forum experts. Please advise... \\Butter F

'Windows-1252', 'Shift-JIS', etc. code pages are not supported encoding names exception in Windows 8.1 Phone

Hi,
We have already released our product for WinRT desktop and tablet versions.
Now we are developing the same app for Windows 8.1 Phone.
We are supporting 'Windows-1250', 'Windows-1251', 'Windows-1252', 'Windows-1253', 'Windows-1254', 'Shift-JIS', 'GB2312' and 'Big5' in both desktop and tablet versions which uses WinRT API's.
But in Windows 8.1 Phone version, i am getting 'ArgumentException' saying 'Windows-1252' is not a supported encoding name.
Please help me with a solution or workaround to support the above specified code pages for Encoding.
Regards,
Balaji Reddy. M

LabVIEW 7.0 utilize the real-time functions in Window 2000 Real-time.

Can an application written with LabVIEW 7.0 utilize the real-time functions in Window 2000 Real-time.

The LabVIEW DATA ACQUISITION HANDBOOK (not sure of the exact title), has examples of simultaneous I/O, which is what I assume you need.
Clock- controlled analog output (to drive the stepper), and analog input (to read your inputs), sound like the ticket for you.
You could load the output buffer with a pattern that drives your stepper, and get multiple input samples for every step, all precisely timed.

Quickly switch windows of the same application

Hello,
when I have a lot of applications open, I can use Command-Tab to quickly switch between applications and this is working great. I am looking for a similar functionality to quickly switch between windows of the same application. For example, I have 10 Safari windows open. I am looking for a keyboard shortcut to switch between all open windows of Safari (like you can do with Command-Tab for applications).
I know I can use Expose but this is not convenient. I also can do "click and hold" the application icon to do Expose just on the specific application but if you have a lot of windows open, it is not easy to find the one you are looking for. A keyboard shortcut to loop through open windows in an application would be better.
Any idea?

It depends upon the application. But command-tilde will move you to the next window and command-shift-tilde will move you back in many applications (including Safari).

Test Pocket PC or Handheld ( windows mobile 5.0) application

Is there any tools that can be used to automate the testing of Pocket PCs or Handheld ( windows mobile 5.0) application?
Message was edited by: DHIMANT AMIN

Dhimant Amin,
I have not done any Pocket PC testing so I am not sure how good any of the tools out there are but a few years back I did some WAP testing and the key is to have an emulator that something can drive. As I was testing WAP I was able to use e-Tester with the proxy on to gather the http requests, but depending on what your application under test does this may not be an option.
If that is the case there are a number of test suites out their for PocketPC and other devices. From what I have seen these fall into two categories: a device emulation like what i used, and some tools that actually drive the physical device connected to the machine via Bluetooth or USB. I can see good and bad points of both.I think I would use an emulator or at least stick with a particular device early on in the testing phase to focus on testing the core functionality you are developing. Then the physical device tester may be useful for compatibility testing if the product allows the same script to be played back for different devices.

Adobe Software windows override all other applications.

Adobe Software windows override all other applications. - Anyone have this issue with CS4 and Leopard?
For example: Whenever I'm opening multiple documents in, say, Illustrator CS4, while the windows are opening in the "background" and I'm attempting to surf the web with Firefox, each time a subsequent file is opened in the Adobe application, the Adobe application shifts to the front and whatever other application I was using shifts to the background. It may sound trivial but this is really quite annoying and time-consuming to have to constantly shift back and forth.
I'm not sure if this is an Adobe or Apple issue, but I'm really finding too many quirks and conflicts between CS4 and Leopard that weren't issues in older versions of either companies previous software (say, CS3 or CS2 and Tiger).

This is for CS4 since CS4 changed it's document management scheme. I've done a little experiment, not extensive but enough to have an idea.
In Illustrator, if you have the 'Open Documents As Tabs' checked (Preferences-->User Interface), it seems to work as it should. This is true if you have the Application Frame on and off. If the Tab preference is off, what you experienced in your post is what happens. This is also true if you have the Application Frame on and off.
Photoshop is a bit different. If the Application Frame is on, the documents open as you would expect regardless if you are using the Tabbed function. With the Application Frame off, opening documents work like you want it to only if you are using the 'Open Documents As Tabs' checked (Preferences-->Interface)
That is just my experiment. If you could, replicate what I have done let me know. I would like to know if this behavior is replicable.
I don't know if this is an Apple or Adobe issue because different applications behave differently. I tried another experiment: opening the same documents (opened in PS and AI) in Apple apps and other apps. If I open the docs in any Apple app (that I have), they exhibit a behavior that would expect, opens in the background. If I open docs in non-Apple apps, they exhibit different behaviors, ie Graphic Converter shows you that it is opening the document by showing the outline of the window in Genie Effect but does not actually show the window contents, and they open in the background.
Weird...

Hi Satya,
Have you tried the SUP tutorials like "Windows Mobile Application Development using Custom Development - SUP 1.5.2" ?
If yes, I need some guidance.
I am trying this tutorial.
Everything went as per the tutorial guide.
When I try to run the application in debug mode (in emulator), I am not getting any result.
Here is what I am doing....
Once the application is up on the emulator, I click on the "Subscribe" button as mentioned in the tutorial. After that I get the following messages in the bottom grid.
"Database Deleted"
"Background Syncronization Started'
After the application goes for long ride and after almost 8-10 mins I get the following message.
"log record count=0"
"Subscribe request sent"
Then I click on "Refresh" button.
I get only the message "Refresh Data" in the bottom grid.
But nothing gets populated in the top "Customers" grid.
When I try to debug in the "Refresh" click event, I find that Customer.FindAll() function is returning zero.
Any idea why this happening?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ram.

ICloud email no longer working on Window 7.8 Phone

I have been receiving my Apple emails on my Windows 7.8 Phone successfully for the last 2 years. About 3 months ago emails could no longer be sent or received and I typically get the following error codes dependant upon how I have my IMAP/SMTP settings configured; 800c2746 or 80072FA8.
Apple email is working fine from my Android tablet and also from my Windows 7 PC and I've tried replicating these settings on my phone without success. I've googled the problem and tried all the different set up options I can find but not have worked. I'm beyond frustrated now and I suspect Apple has broken something during the recent iCloud work for IOS or Yosemite as nothing has changed on any of my devices and it's only my Windows phone that no longer works.
Does ANYONE have a Windows 7 Phone (mine is a Nokia 800) that is successfully sending and receiving iCloud emails as of today, 2nd November 2014. If you do would you be kind enough to tell me what server settings you are using.
Thanks.

We have exatcly the same problem with Samsung omnia 7 (Windows phone 7.8).
We are using the Server settings from this page: iCloud: Mail server settings for email clients - Apple Support
We have this problem since mid september and no solution.

Windows Backup - The backup application coud not start due to an internal error: You must be logged on as an administrator to perform this task. (0x8100000010).

Windows 7 users in my domain are unable to configure or change backup settings. Users are able to open Control Panel > Backup and Restore, but when they click
Change settings, they receive the error: Windows Backup - The backup application coud not start due to an internal error: You must be logged on as an administrator to perform this task. (0x8100000010).
The same error is received when executing sdclt.exe /configure at the command prompt, regardless of whether the command prompt is launched using "run as administrator".
I've done significant testing, and have been able to determine that the local administrator account is able to configure backups before the computer is joined to the domain. Once the computer is joined to the domain, the local administrator account
and domain users who are in the local administrators group are no longer able to configure backup and restore. Domain administrators are able to configure backups.
This is a new issue, which began occuring sometime in the last 2 months. 3 months ago, users were able to configure backups without issue, and those computers with backups configured are still able to run their backups and do restores; however the
settings can no longer be changed.
Clearly something in the domain is doing this, but Group Policy has not been altered, and I can find no setting that would be doing this in any case. Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
So you mean you have tried different accounts in the local Administrator group and all of them failed?
If so, please check what group the local Administrator group belongs to? Does it belong to a group with limited privileges, such as the Guests group?
