With the release of the localized emulators for Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition software(http://blogs.msdn.com/jamespr/archive/2004/06/19/160071.aspx) you now have more emulator targets than ever to manage.  We've been sharing a useful tip for eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 (evc4) developers at MDC and TechEd. I thought it only fair to share it with the world!

In eVC4 you have the target dropdown that lists Pocket PC Emulator / Pocket PC Device.  You can actually create new entries in that list that will enable you to pick which emulator you want to target when you build.  This makes it easy to switch between Landscape and Square or English and German emulator images.  To add targets you need to :

1) Click Tools, Configure Platform Manager

2) Choose the Pocket PC 2003 or Smartphone 2003 root node, depending which device you want to add a new target for

3) Click Add Device and give your emulator target an obvious name e.g. PPC 2003 SE Landscape

4) Click Properties

5) Ensure the Transport is set to TCPIP and the Startup Server is Emulator Startup Server

6) Click Properties next to the Startup Server

7) In the top drop down, select the emulator image you want to boot.

8) OK out of everything (you'll be asked to test the target, you may want to do this to check you have everything right)

9) You should now be able to select your emulator in the target dropdown

 

Hope this helps!
