Hi vincocoka,

There is no problem with console applications. They run OK. I intend to run regular, graphical "form" application. They are the ones causing problem.

Have you tried to build debug version and run it via gdb?

I don't know how to do that. We might try this via TeamViewer. I'm on GMT+2 European timezone.

Device I am testing is running on Windows CE 6.00, Samsung Processor, Cortex A-8-S5PV2 which seems to be claimed as ARMv7-A.
According to http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/WinCE_port last WinCE supported is 5.2.1 (Windows Mobile 6.5). However, you might want to check these links:

Hi Avra,

I checked out these links. I suppose I will not be able to code for WinCE 6.0 with Lazarus, until it is supported (if ever) in the future.

Thanks for clarifying the problem.

Only maintainer can answer that...

I have finally found my problem.

First of all, anybody can use "fpc -Parm -i" to see what CPUs are supported. I see that ARM7 is supported.

Additionally, there are several people helping bug solve process on WinCE 6.5 versions. So, I can say WinCE version supported is at least 6.5.

Regarding my problem, it turned out that I need to use below code in the OnLoad event of main form to be able to see my form.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. Self.Top := 0;
  2. Self.Left := 0;
  3.  

If need to see Title bar set Top to 25 or 26.

For some reason below properties are not working on WinCE platform:
BorderStyle
WindowSize

BorderStyle seems to be bsDialog or bsSingle with no sizing available. Linked to this, WindowSize := wsMaximized is not working.

Just my findings related with my problem. Putting here to support people that hit same problem as me.

Regards,
Ertan

Does it show up in the WinCE taskbar?
Did you set the forms left and top properties to zero?
Does a ShowMessage('test'); show a message dialog?

You are confused a little. Windows Mobile 6.5 existed, but WinCE 6.5 never existed. There was WinCE 6.0 and after that WinCE 7.0 was next. Windows Mobile 6.5 was built on WinCE 5.2. Lazarus supports up to WinCE 5.2.1 (so not WinCE 6.0 and 7.0).

I'm confused again. I have attached screen capture. Is this a WinCE 6.0 or Windows Mobile 6.0 device I am using in my case? And, how can I understand the kernel version if I can?

Just want to clarify my own situation here.

Hi

Your device have the same OS (Windows CE Version 6.0) of mine motorola MC2180 but your processor is samsung  and mine is processor Marvell PXA32X-P.

Is because the type of CPU  Lazarus applications do not work?

The program sqliteviewer for sqlite db not work too on my device.

I think is something on the WinCE that block the applications, or memory is too Low,
i don't know.

Could you send a simple app compiled on lazarus that work on your device to test?

Best Regars

The answer is on your screenshot. "Microsoft Windows CE Version 6.00" is WinCE 6.0, which is not officially supported by Lazarus.
