My question involves SystemTray controls for WinCE 2.0. I am familiar with the ActiveX controls that can use the SystemTray in Win95. However, I am not sure how to do it in WinCE. Can you help?

Microsoft currently has a VB5 extension to allow programming of the WinCE handheld PCs, but not for the Palm PCs. Is Microsoft planning a version of WinCE VB for programming the Palm PC?

Can I use Delphi to create apps, including DB apps, for Windows CE?

I know that the multimedia API is limited in the Windows CE environment, but is there any other way to control the audio device? What I want is to record audio files and then play them back.

This might not be right on topic, but I'm hoping to receive an answer by e-mail. My daughter, eight, has cerebral palsy and can use only her left hand. She is learning to type using a left hand Dvorak keyboard layout (I just reconfigure Win95 and have switched her keyboard caps correspondingly). I am considering a palmtop running CE2 for her to use in school. Do you know whether CE2 can be configured to use a left-hand Dvorak keyboard layout? Thank you very much for your help.

Can you design an Access97 application to run on a Windows CE machine? Has this been done? By whom? And finally, do you need to create a runtime version of an Access97 app to run successfully on Windows CE? Is there a standard PS/2 keyboard port in the back of the CE unit that will allow you to hook up a scan gun (using a PS/2 adapter)?

What advantages does WinCE have over other handheld palmtop operating systems such as the Newton and others?

I'm developing a project that will use H/PCs. But which compilers are available for Windows CE?
