Thread: MobileWeb v1.0 for MediaCar Released

Also in the VB project I had a problem with the disconnect function... One thing was the Navigate in the ConectChange function didn't work at first..

I changed:
Navigate ("file://" & App.Path & "html\blank.htm")

to:
Navigate ("file://" & App.Path & "\html\blank.htm")

Needed the extra backslash, you had it right in the Form.Load... Also it doesn't disconnect... After I fixed the above it does navigate to the blank page, but it doesn't disconnect the phone.. the "InternetAutodialHangup 0" doesn't appear to work... When I close the application I do get the windows dialog asking if I want to stay connected and that does properly close the connection...

VB is dumb when it comes to app.path.

App.Path will return a trailing slash when at the root of a drive and
not when without it.

Solution, write a wrapper function:

Code:

Public Function SmartAppPath() As String
    If Right$(App.path, 1) = "\" Then
        SmartAppPath = App.path
    Else
        SmartAppPath = App.path & "\"
    End If
End Function

There's nothing like a good wrapper, and Vanilla Ice was nothing like a good rapper

yeah just a typo in there; will change as you suggest and upload again. The InternetAutodialHnagup relys on interent explorer settings etc, suchh as testing it first, and ticking the usual 'do not ask me about this ever again' boxes. If anyone knows a better way please let me know.

I've had the same problem with the embedding of the window on a couple of occasions - I have no idea why? nothing seems to be wrong, it didn't embed right on the way to work this morning which was weird.

I saw earlier in the thread someone wanting weather support built in... I have some good weather code that should be pretty universal... You might need to right some code to detect whether to show in F/C and MPG/KM, but other than that...

I have it in an aspx page right now... I call this webpage from your mobileweb program...

Here is the code:

I found that code useful veetid, thanks.
