How to Develop Orientation-Aware and DPI-Aware Applications for Pocket PC

Overview This paper demonstrates how to convert an existing application to be aware of landscape orientation and screen resolution. The Crossword sample - a crossword game that contains many characteristics representative of real-world applications, including owner-drawn controls and off-screen memory buffers - is included in Program Files\Developer Resources for Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition\Samples\Pocket PC\Win32\Crossword folder. To keep from cluttering the code with irrelevant details, many features of the Crossword sample have been left unimplemented. The crossword itself is not real and has no solution.
