ce6.0 subproject templates

Hi,

Is there a template for a dialog based application (MFC/win32) in
platformbuilder ce6 available ?
I want to create such an application as a subproject in an OSDesign to
debug both (OS an application) at the same time.

ATL and MFC development is not supported inside Platform Builder
subprojects but if you put debugging symbols of your application
inside the flatreleasedir (if your exe is included in the OS image) or
give their path to PB when it prompts for them you should be able to
debug it.
If you wanto to be able to rebuild it inside PB you can create a PB
sources file to compile it adding MFC defines, include paths and
libraries (you may be able to find them by looking at the compiler
command-line inside the "advanced" options panels of your VS2005
project).

You can also run a second instance of VS2005 to do your application
development...

I forgot about that option... or my memory removed the experience of
running two instances of Visual Studio 2005 on my laptop as somehing
so painful that deserves to be forgotten :)

I'm joking, this is the right solution, mostly if you don't need to do
this sort of "double" debugging often.

You should run VS2005 debugger client (ConnManClient2) on the device
and be able to activate and ActiveSync or network connection (even
over KITL if you have VMINI enabled) and you may experience some kind
of "interactions" between the two debuggers during module loading
(usually PB will ask for symbols and the VS debugger seems to be
frozen) or when an exception happens inside your application.

Hi,
First of all thanks for all your answers.

I have changed sources-file so that it links the mfc-libs, modified
the makefile an got a running MFC-App with a Resource-File (incl
dialog) as a subproject.
After working a while at the code and the dialog, the dialog-wizard
doesnt work anymore (cant add event handler for buttons ....).
I can build the project but without dialog-wizard it isnt funny to
work with.

Then I tried to use a second vs2005 instance using ConnManClient2.
This worked fine on one PC, but the same projct doesnt work on another
PC.
There is a successful connection, but a deploy failed with following
message:

"Deployment and/or registration failed with error: 0x8973190e. Error
writing file '\Test.exe'. Error 0x8007274c: Ein Verbindungsversuch ist
fehlgeschlagen, da die Gegenstelle nach einer bestimmten Zeitspanne
nicht ordnungsgem=E4=DF reagiert hat, oder die hergestellte Verbindung war
fehlerhaft, da der verbundene Host nicht reagiert hat."

Any suggestions ?

As I told PB does not support MFC development and so it does not
support the MFC (and ATL/WTL) wizards. You may use them inside
VS2005 and then build the sources inside PB if you need to debug
them. But you'll have to keep both projects up to date.
To simply include your MFC app inside the image (without building
int) you may use Mike Hall's CEFileWiz.

I don't speak german (I'm Italian and also my english isn't that
good...) but I think that the system can't access the destination
file.
Do you stop the exe and debugger on the first machine before trying
with the second one?

Are both development machine installed in german?
The OS image is in english or in german?

the OS image and the application is english. the OS of the PC is
german.
I have done more tests. When I deploy the app, the exe-file is
downloaded to the device but its size is zero.
When I want to download the file over ftp I have the same behaviour, I
see the file on the device but size is zero.

When I copy/create a file inside the device there is no problem. It
seems to be a problem with the network transfer.
