WM 5.0 Smartphone Landscape mode

| Looks like the motorola smartphone has a landscape screen. See
http://www.motorola.com/motoinfo/pr.../0,,113,00.html
My question is how to get the WM 5.0 smartphone emulator to work in
landscape mode? I can certainly rotate the device 90 degrees to have the
display in the emulator in landscape form, but can not find anywhere in the
smartphone settings to tell Windows CE to switch to landscape mode like you
can in the Pocket PC emulator for WM 5.0.
Would like to be able to run the software I am developing in landscape mode
on the emulator.

if the emulator gfx driver was written correctly then:
DEVMODE devmode = {0};
devmode.dmSize = sizeof(DEVMODE);
devmode.dmDisplayOrientation = DMDO_90; //landscape mode
devmode.dmFields = DM_DISPLAYORIENTATION;
ChangeDisplaySettingsEx(NULL, &devmode, NULL, 0, NULL);
riki
It's easy to fix -- just jiggle the fiddlybob

| You're right - we need to release a new emulator that includes support for
landscape. It's in the works...

will be released?

| Not yet... we're looking at various options that will let us get out this
new emulator and a bunch of other things without causing a bunch of
confusion.

| If you're worried about supporting the motorola Q before it or an
emulator are available, then remember that it has a 320x240 screen in
landscape mode - just like a landscaped 2003SE or WM5 Pocket PC. You
can still mock up your UI is VS, or simply reuse a PPC UI if you've
already got one.
