Spiny's SearcH/PC has been a nice little utility for H/PC 2000 users, but up until now no one has been able to get it working in H/PC Pro. I just succeeded in getting it to work, and it turned out to be easier than I thought it would be.
How to do it:
1
) Copy the Visual Basic runtime files for H/PC 2000
(the "full" folder
) for the target device's processor
(
http://www.hpcfactor.com/developer ) to the H/PC Pro device
(cleanest way is to copy the whole folder over
).
2
) Using Executability Check, change the OS version of all those files from 3.0 to 2.11.
3
) Copy the files over one at a time, in each case using regsvrce.exe to register the file.
That's it! It doesn't need all the runtime files, but does need some of the MSCE*.dll files in the "full" folder
(I don't recall exactly which ones, but I believe they included MSCEListView.dll, MSCETabStrip.dll, and maybe MSCEComDlg.dll
). If you're not running any CE 2.11 VB apps on the device, it won't affect anything else.
I tested it using a file that appears over 100 times on the device, and it completed the search in about 10 seconds.
I've only tested this on my J820 thus far. Later today I'll be testing it again on one or more of my CE 2.11 MIPS devices.
