Hi,

A question for those who have working ARM-WinCE applications with db and/or printing: would you recommend the DB engine, or printing solution you are using?

Regards

Zaher,

I'm very interested in this. Are you using the Epson ESC commands and printing directly to the printer?

Hi Zaher,

I would be very much interested in the details too. :)

DB:
- How do you connect to SQLite?
- Which version you are using?
- I suppose it is stable then, is it?

Printing:
- Any detail is highly appreciated. :)

Sorry Leslie, didn't meant to hijack your thread. I'll be doing some POS related printing framework very soon and Zaher's reponse caught my attention.

Lee,

There is absolutely nothing to appologize for. Actually I am happy, that you are involved too. :)

About printer Is ESC/POS like as EPSON i used over bluetooth from my pocket_pc WinCE 5.0 and WM5
I commited my work to MiniLib Project
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/minilib
see folder \MiniComm\printers\escpos
and there is a simple Demo for testing
MiniComm\demo\delphi\escpos

i also test it by DOSPrinter
www.geocities.com/dosprint

About SQlite in same project there is MiniConnection\db\mncSQLite.pas it is not DB aware, it just small simple connection to sqlite worked in WinCE.

Neat stuff, Zaher.

Thanks

Sorry for the late reaction, but I wanted to get to know MiniLib a bit first. It is very promising, thank you very much for the links and for making your work available! :)
As development Status of the project is set to stable I am likely to try to use MiniLib with my WinCe project. A few questions beforehand:

- Will you be available if support/help is required? (I would not want to force you into it at all, so "NO" is a good answer too..)
- Is there any example program or documentation to help learning how to use MiniLib features?

Regards,

I used it in minilib in commercial projects, so there is only some test projects in this lib
and i have no time to make documentation this days, but the code is readable, and any question is welcome.

for support i have topic in my site
http://www.parmaja.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=121

There is many library in FPC useful for XML, Sockets etc.., but the target of MiniLib it is to be simple as it, so i not planed to make it huge project (but it is growing by time).

Thanks, I will post my questions on your site.
