Tom Tom SDK problem

Hi,

I'm trying to get the TomTom SDK 3.0 working on Embedded VB 3.0 connected to an Fujitsu Siemens Pocket LOOX 600.

I followed the procedure hereinunder descibed and indicated in the Use Case Manual enclosed to the Navigator:
- I installed .ocx and .dll on the pocketPC by using the tool Setup.EXE
- I installed the ocx on the develop pc (copied in c:\windows\system32 and registered)

In the pc where I use to work are installed:
- VisualTools 3.0
- Microsoft ActiveSync 3.8

Executing the following code in eMbedded Visual Basic 3.0:

************************************************
Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()
MsgBox ObjTTNav.GetNavigatorVersionInfo
End Sub

Private Sub Form_OKClick()
App.End
End Sub
*************************************************

he continue to give me the following error:

"An error was encountered while running this program: Invalid procedure call or argument: ObjTTNav.GetNavigatorVersionInfo"

I tried also by calling the method of the object ObjTTNav as following:

MsgBox (ObjTTNav.GetNavigatorVersionInfo)

or

MsgBox ObjTTNav.GetNavigatorVersionInfo()

Always the same!

Where is the problem? Could you help me?

Thanks.

Vincenzo Lembo

don't you have to declare and SET the object before you can use it?

I add component "TomTom Navigator SDK 3.0" to the project (TTNControl.ocx registered) and i use it.

I also try:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim sdkVersion As String

Dim TTN
Set TTN = CreateObject("TTNControlLibCtl.ITomTomNavigator")

TTN.Visible = False
MsgBox "ciao"
sdkVersion = TTN.GetSdkVersionInfo()

End Sub

or

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim sdkVersion As String

Dim TTN As TTNControlLibCtl.ITomTomNavigator
Set TTN = CreateObject("TTNControlLibCtl.ITomTomNavigator")

TTN.Visible = False
MsgBox "ciao"
sdkVersion = TTN.GetSdkVersionInfo()

End Sub

This is the error:

"An error was encountered while running this program: ActiveX component can't create object"

Executing this code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim sdkVersion As String

Dim TTN As TTNControlLibCtl.TomTomNavigator
Set TTN = ObjTTNav 'control added to project

TTN.Visible = False
MsgBox "ciao"
sdkVersion = TTN.GetSdkVersionInfo()

End Sub

i have the following error:

"An error was encountered while running this program: Invalid procedure call or argument: ObjTTNav.GetNavigatorVersionInfo"

Where i'm wrong?

looks like the registration on the Pocket PC failed. Can you repeat that?

I uninstalled the Tom Tom Navigator and SDK (i remove manually the files TTNCom.dll and TTNControl.ocx from pocket pc) and repeat the installation, but i have the same problem.

The installation procedure of SDK is:

"The ActiveX component and DLL are required to make function calls from C++ or Visual Basic. The \Sdk\TTNCom\install\ contains SETUP.EXE, which will install the DLL and ActiveX components on your PDA."

I do not know the way well in order to register manually the activex on the pocketPC. You can help me?

As a cheat, try installing Checkpoint as this installs the PPC-side SDK. Alternatively, PM me your email address and I'll email you a CAB file with it in.

I am having the same problem as vincenzolombo. TomTom is not answering.

Has anybody found a solution?

Yes, basically if you have the V3 SDK it doesn't work properly... there is a fixed version that fixes it a bit - PM me your email address and I'll send it to you. It might help.

This doesn't fix everything though, and some functions described in the manual do not actually work (as in they actually aren't coded into the SDK!)

V5 SDK out soon(ish) though.

TomTom can be a nightmare sometimes when it comes to the SDK... ask Nomada - he's had no end of problems dealing with them but eventually he got offered a refund. Personally I've had no problems with getting hold of TomTom, though.
