Missing functionality in WinCE ( GetPrivateProfileString )
Awais Zaka
in question are GetPrivateProfileString/Int , WritePrivateProfileString/Int.
The reason i need them is to be able to write my own initialisation file.
Also missing are _findfirst, _splitpath, _makepath and io.h which contains
the structure _finddata_t. Any ideas other than rewriting my own functions ?

Ever since Windows NT 3.1, the Win32 API intended to use the registry
for storing application settings. The documentation says: "These
functions are provided only for compatibility with 16-bit versions of
Windows. New applications should use the registry."
In the streamlined version of Win32 on Windows CE, the
backwards-compatible INI file API was intentionally omitted.
Use the Reg... functions (RegOpenKeyEx, RegSetValueEx,
RegQueryValueEx...) instead.

Use the Win32 functions FindFirstFile and FindNextFile.

You can use this source as example:
<platform builder root
dir>\PUBLIC\COMMADDON\OAK\RDP\UIT\WBTTSCMN\profile.cpp
<platform builder root dir>\PUBLIC\COMMADDON\OAK\RDP\UIT\WBTTSCMN\profile.h
it works fine, but has a minor bug in unicode transform.
Good luck.
