Name: VBRAPI Download: VBRapi.zipWhat is it: Using RAPI from VB on the desktop.Features: For Windows CE 2.0! No Rights Reserved (i.e. FreeWare) NOTE: Not all exposed functions are thoroughly tested. So use at your own risk. However, the functions used in the samples are tested thoroughly.
RemoteCE.tlb is a typelibrary that will allow the programmer to use the RAPI functions easily (hopefully) from within any COM aware development environment. For example, you can use the typelibrary to build a backup program entirely within the VBA implementation in MS Word. The RemoteCE typelibrary functions as a simple way to utilize the RAPI.dll from within Visual Basic, without the use of the 'Declare' statement. For more details about this type of typelibrary construction, consult 'Hardcore Visual Basic' by Bruce McKinney. With his book he also provides a typelibrary which covers most (if not all necessary) Window 32 API functions and constants. If you wish to use an ActiveX control which incorporate more functionality, such as connection notification, etc… just wait… Mr. Ethan Hunt (of Mission Impossible fame) is working on it… How Do I Install? You must register the typelibrary on your machine in order to use it. The use of the typelibrary is only necessary for a developer. The typelibrary does not need to ship with the application after the application is compiled. For example, to register the RemoteCE.tlb in Visual Basic 5, just go to the Project/References dialog. Select Browse and find the file RemoteCE.tlb. By selecting the file you register it on your system. How Do I Use?
Application Name: RCeCopy.exe What does it do? Demonstrates how to use the RemoteCE.tlb in a Visual Basic application to copy a file from one location to another location on the WindowsCE device.

Application Name: RCeGet.exe What does it do? Demonstrates how to use the RemoteCE.tlb in a Visual Basic application to 'GET' (i.e. copy from) a file on the WindowsCE device
Application Name: RCePut.exe What does it do? Demonstrates how to use the RemoteCE.tlb in a Visual Basic application to 'PUT' (i.e. copy to) a file to the WindowsCE device.
Application Name: RCeRegView.exe What does it do? Demonstrates how to use the RemoteCE.tlb in a Visual Basic application to view the details of the registry. Works like the SDK standard 'Monkey' program.
Application Name: RCeSysInfo.exe What does it do? Demonstrates how to use the RemoteCE.tlb in a Visual Basic application to view the details of the system.
Application Group: RceGrabBag What does it do? Contains samples for various RAPI functions. These samples were used in testing. RAPI functions: This documentation helps to describe the RAPI functions as incorporated into the RemoteCE typelibrary. It is based on the original 'C/C++' documentation and therefore may have some glaring inaccuracies. [Editor: It will be continually upgraded, as knew things are added/modified/corrected] Detailed documentation for all function calls can be found in the Win32 SDK documentation. See the end of the document for the CONSTANT numbers (i.e. for example ERROR_DISK_FULL = 112) IMPORTANT NOTE: Strings passed to the typelib are ASCII. String returned from the typelib are Integer arrays (Unicode). CeCheckPassword The CeCheckPassword function compares a specified string to the system password. This function is the RAPI version of the CheckPassword function. Syntax Function CeCheckPassword(lpszPassword As String) As Long At a Glance
Parameters
Return Values Returns TRUE if lpszPassword matches the system password, else FALSE. Remarks Upon a RAPI related failure, the return value is FALSE.

Remarks Because sort orders increase the system resources needed to perform each insert and delete operation, keep the number of sort orders to a minimum. However, try not to specify too few sort orders. If you do, you can use the CeSetDatabaseInfo function to change the sort order later; however, this function is even more expensive in terms of system resources.

The CeRapiInit function attempts to initialize the Windows CE Remote API. Syntax Function CeRapiInit() As Long At a Glance
Parameters None. Return Values If this function succeeds, the return value is E_SUCCESS. If this function is called when already initialized, it returns E_FAIL. Remarks The functions CeRapiInit or CeRapiInitEx must be called before any remote API calls can be performed. They initialize the underlying communications layers between the desktop PC and the target platform device. A call to CeRapiInit does not return until the connection is made, an error occurs, or another thread calls CeRapiUninit. The CeRapiInitEx function does not block the calling thread. Instead, it uses an event to signal when initialization is complete. See Also All sample applications
The CeRapiInitEx function attempts to initialize the Windows CE Remote API and initially returns an event handle. Avoid this function. Syntax Function CeRapiInitEx(pRapiInit As RAPIINIT) As Long At a Glance
Parameters
Return Values If this function initially succeeds, it returns E_SUCCESS. If this function is called when RAPI is already initialized, it returns E_FAIL. Remarks The CeRapiInitEx or CeRapiInit functions must be called before any remote API calls can be performed. They initialize the underlying communications layers between the desktop PC and the target platform device. Call CeRapiInitEx to avoid blocking a thread inside of a call to CeRapiInit. CeRapiInitEx returns immediately and continues initialization until the connection is made, until an error occurs, or until there is a call to CeRapiUninit. When CeRapiInitEx is complete it then sets the event specified in the heRapiInit member of the RAPIINIT structure. After calling CeRapiInitEx, check the return value to see if an error occurred. If the call was initially successful, call the MsgWaitForMultipleObjects function to wait on the event handle passed back in the heRapiInit member of the RAPIINIT structure. When the event is set, check the hrRapiInit member of the structure to determine if the connection was successful. To shut down or to abort the connection process, call the CeRapiUnInit function. See Also
The CeRapiUnInit function uninitializes the Windows CE Remote API. Use CeRapiInit and CeRapiUninit to open and close sessions with the Windows CE devices. Syntax Function CeRapiUninit() As Long At a Glance
Parameters None. Return Values If this function is called when not initialized, it will return E_FAIL. Remarks The CeRapiUnInit function should be called when the application has completed its use of the remote API services. It gracefully closes down the connection to the Windows CE device. If called when not in an initialized state, it will return E_FAIL.
The CeReadFile function reads data from a file, starting at the position indicated by the file pointer. After the read operation has been completed, the file pointer is adjusted by the number of bytes actually read. This is the RAPI version of the ReadFile function. Using this version of CeReadFile will return a byte array. Review the sample file (RceGetFile.vbp) to see how the lpBuffer should be initialized and used in Visual Basic. Syntax Function CeReadFile(hFile As Long, lpBuffer As Any, nNumberOfBytesToRead As Long, lpNumberOfBytesRead As Long, CeReadFileNull As Long) As Long At a Glance
Remarks See Also ReadFile
CeReadFileStr The CeReadFileStr function reads data from a file, starting at the position indicated by the file pointer. After the read operation has been completed, the file pointer is adjusted by the number of bytes actually read. This is the RAPI version of the ReadFile function. Using this version of CeReadFileStr will return a string. Review the sample file (RceGetFile.vbp) to see how the lpBuffer should be initialized and used in Visual Basic. Syntax Function CeReadFileStr(hFile As Long, lpBuffer As String, nNumberOfBytesToRead As Long, lpNumberOfBytesRead As Long, CeReadFileNull As Long) As Long At a Glance
Remarks See Also ReadFile
The CeReadRecordProps function reads properties from the current record. This function is untested. Syntax Function CeReadRecordProps(hDbase As Long, dwFlags As Long, lpcPropID As <Unsupported variant type>, rgPropID As cePROPID, lplpBuffer As Byte, lpcbBuffer As Long) As ceOID At a Glance
Parameters
Return Values If the function succeeds, the return value is the object identifier of the record from which the function read. If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information when within a CE program call GetLastError. If within a RAPI program, call CeGetLastError. GetLastError and CeGetLastError may return one of the following values:
Remarks The CeReadRecordProps function reads the specified set of properties from the current record. If the database was opened with the autoseek flag — that is, if the dwFlags parameter of CeOpenDatabase was set to CEDB_AUTOINCREMENT — CeReadRecordProps increments the seek pointer by one so that the next call reads the next record in the current sort order. That is, if the database was opened with a sort order active, then CeReadRecordProps will return the records in sorted order. If the database was not opened with a sort order active, then the order in which records are returned is not predictable. Read all needed properties from the record in a single call. The entire record is stored in a compressed format, and each time a property is read it must be decompressed. All the properties are returned in a single marshalled structure, which consists of an array of CEPROPVAL structures, one for each property requested — or one for each property found if the application set the rgPropID parameter to NULL when calling the function. If a property was requested, such as strings or blobs that are packed in at the end of the array, the pointers in the CEPROPVAL structures point into this marshalled structure. This means that the only memory that must be freed is the original pointer to the buffer passed in to the call. Even if the function fails, it may have allocated memory on the caller’s behalf. Free the pointer returned by this function if the pointer is not NULL. See Also
The CeRegCloseKey function releases the handle to the specified key. This is the RAPI version of the RegCloseKey function. Syntax Function CeRegCloseKey(hKey As Long) As Long At a Glance
