That sounds like it would be *really* useful. I'd even love to do it !!
However - I've never compiled for the PocketPC - but I can download the
SDK if someone can point me to the files and the compile chain...
I also have no direct experience of directly calling the windoze API -
but I *need* to learn. My only experience of calling an OS API was the
Amiga which was a joy to program for... that was a while ago though.
Similarly I am just migrating from Python to Pyrex/C - so have very
little experience of any of the steps necessary (although a familiarity
with some of the concepts and C structures I guess). Learning to use
ctypes was 'on my list of things to do' anyway.
Do you think a project like this likely to be well over my head ?
(Obviously an impossible question - but if you think it's middle of the
range difficulty htne I can tackle it a step at a time... if it's a
fairly high level of difficulty then it's probably outside the bounds of
possibility).
Regards,
Fuzzy
