well i just keep it simple.

heres what i did.

i first downloaded you program and messed with it.

I added

razors

toilet paper

baby wipes

so i was like cool program.

then i installed the pc side.

i pressed load from device.

and sure enough all items were there.

i then added printer paper on the pc side, and saved to device.

when i opened the ppc app it showed

Empty Line

razors

toilet paper

baby wipes

so then i deleted that line and added printer paper.

i know thats not alot of help there.. but if you need me to do certain things let me know and i will do for sure.

device info:

Sony Xperia

wm6.1

custom rom
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
OK I think I found the problem.

On the PC, while you edit text there is a Pencil drawing on the left side of the line.

What you write is not committed (saved to the program database) while you edit it, thus if while editing you press the Save To Device button, that line content is not committed and not saved to the device.

You can commit changes by pressing return after typing the changes, or by selecting another row (the pencil on the left side of the line you edited should disappear).

Hope that it helped...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nhvoltagenh:
ok i kinda follow ya.

now let me ask you something

why would it send a blank space to the ppc.

also and please understand im not a developer, but i do love your program.

is there a way to have the pc side match the ppc side.

i only ask this because the pc side was a bit overwhelming.

im going to try your suggestion and see what i can find out for ya.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nhvoltagenh:
ok lol your going to hate me. but i got pictures for ya.

ok so i loaded up the pc version.

i then added test to my list.

i then saved to device, making sure the pencil was gone.

and i still have a blank space.

heres some screens for ya.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Ok, thanks for the report, I'll try to fix it for next time.

Until than, a workaround to avoid the spare empty line, don't select the last line (the line marked with '*' on the left) when you do save.

Hi

I created a master list with all the items i usually buy.

I'd like to create a new list from this one with the function "copy to another list" with some items of the master list

But when I select "Go shopping" I always see the master list and I don't know how to select the new list in the go shopping section

Any help ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nhvoltagenh:
feature request:

I like most use active sync to keep stuff synced.

My request is to have the list xml be stored under My Documents.

example, I run SPB wallet

on the pc i have it open up the wallet located under

C:\Users\The Web Station\Documents\Documents on Sony X1

which is a direct sync to the My Documents folder on my ppc.

thus allowing me to make a change on either program and it will directly reflect the opposite program.

God i hope that made since LOL
[Windows Mobile Software Development] deedee:
Did you create your Master list in the "Edit Shopping List" or create a "Saved List". To do what you are after you need to create a saved list with everything in, and then go down this checking off what you want and then copy to shopping list.

then the Go Shopping will only show what you selected,
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
This will break one important program feature - that it is self contained, A request like that will require me to use something like registry to locate the program data - something I don't wish to do...

Anyway, how that can help you? do you want manually edit the xml file and not by using the PC Companion?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] User_99:
:p Updated in my last post...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nhvoltagenh:
no ;) i think i lost ya.

ok let me see if i can try again.

if the data it saves is stored in My Documents

and the PC companion has the option to look wherever i tell it to. then when i sync my phone with my computer, both lists will sync.

using SPB wallet again.

if im on my ppc and i open up wallet.swl and make any changes it saves it to that file (wallet.swl)

no matter what i do that file is my wallet file.

now its stored on my phone in My Documents.

and as a part of Windows XP, Vista, 7 Windows Mobile Device Center has the ability to sync files.

it will sync anything inside of the My Documents folder on my phone.

so say i take a few pictures, all i have to do is sync my phone up and a few moments later all my pictures are mirrored onto my desktop pc.

As well as my wallet.swl file

so if i open up SPB wallet PC companion it will automatically open the file wallet.swl file stored at C:\Users\The Web Station\Documents\Documents on Sony X1

Which is an exact sync of my phone.

whew alot of words..

so imagine if Shoppping list stored the xml file under My Documents on my ppc.

when i sync my phone i get a mirror of the xml onto my Desktop.

so then i can open the Desktop program and add, edit my shopping list.

I can edit the list wwether my phone is synced or not.. but the moment i sync my phone the list is synced.

Now LOL the reason i bring all this up is because sometimes i will create large lists of things i need to get for various projects.

And i will do this while my phone is unavailable.

but when my phone becomes available i can sync it and voila the newest version of the list is on my phone.

What i do now is i have a simple text document that i will use as my list.

And WMDC will always sync the newest version of anything. wether its newer on my ppc or my pc. the newest one will always copy to the other side.

so using a text document i could write this or that onto it. sync my phone and that text document is now on my phone.

any changes i make will show up on both the pc and ppc, once i sync up.

another example of my reasoning is how outlook calander will sync.

i can be on my home PC and add all types of events. sync my phone and voila my ppc calander is up to date.

if i delete from my phone it will delete from my pc once synced.

i know thats alot of reading. but it was just an idea of thought.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Just a note, you can today edit the items off-line and than save the list to the unit when you connect it...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kompozitor:
Thanks Deedee : That's exactly what I meant. However, my problem is that I don't know how to open a saved list and check the items of this saved list on my mobile...

When I know how to do this, everything will be perfect !

missingmethodexception?

Hi,

thx for providing this program for free - unfortunately, I don't get it to run:

Current version, just d/loaded, installed on XDA orbit, starting the program leads to "My Shopping List.exe MissingMethodException Datei- oder Assemblyname 'System.Windows.Forms... other stuff' not found. I try to run this on windows mobil 5.0 - is there a minimal OS version required, maybe, or something else I am missing?

Sorry for the trouble,

greets, tobi... :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Do you have NETCFv35 installed?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tobi_h:
Hi Amir,

thx for the quick reply:

Yes, now I have, and now it works. I was not aware that I have to install it - the wording in this posting (Url removed - I tried to link to the top posting of this thread, but, being a "new user", am not allowed. Sheesh.) is the same for NETCFv35 as it is for "SliderList Control", which I don't have to install... ;)

But thx anyway, I'll try to get to terms with the program now.

Greets, tobi...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
In the main screen there are several buttons.

The second button from the top is called "Saved Lists"

If you click on it, you see the list of all your Saved Lists

In the top part you can create new Saved Lists

If you click on the Edit icon on the left of each list you can edit the items of this list...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kompozitor:
Tanks you so much...

I've been looking for this for long but had not the idea to click on the icon :D

Great software now that I know how to handle it :D

[Windows Mobile Software Development] 12aon:
Donation on it's way sorry took a while (654575859A654742C). I like the listing in mail a lot, I would have expected the listing for SMS as well. Any chance that could still happen :)

12
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Cheers mate, much appreciated... :)

What do you mean by "listing for SMS" ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 12aon:
Ah sorry, bad wording. I meant you had changed the way items were listed in e-mail in the last build from:

-= catergory -=

items

to:

Catergory

- items

:: Notes

I was hoping this would be done for sms also ;),

[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Ops, I thought I did, sry about that :confused:

I'll do it for next version...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kompozitor:
a cool feature would be to be able to create recipies in which you could indicate items with quantities (and distinguish liters, grams kilograms etc...)...

then you can choose to add one or several recipies from your master list and it will add all the needed irems to your shopping list
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tomX2:
love this program!

much easier than list pro and finger friendly.

i have one question. is there a way to remove the general category?

it defaults to this category, i would rather it default to a category i created.

would be nice to have it default to the last category used.

i'm always making edits and then realizing that i edited the general category, so i have delete them and start over.

thanks for a very good and useful program

tomx2
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
I guess you mean the General category.

There is no easy way to remove that category, a way to do that is to modify the language file (under the lang folder) that you use, you should see a line like this: GENERAL=General and you can edit the value part (the right part) of that line. The problem with this way is that your change of this file will be overwritten when you'll install a new version of the program.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Nice idea (I think it was proposed before too)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 12aon:
Hey there,

Hows things? Any news on the next version? I'm still hoping to see the email list changes in the SMS. I'm still rooting for the recipe picture as well :)

Anyway I hope to see this project go on, and I'm just keeping keeping it warm,

12
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
hehe, I will post the email change as a very minor change later (hopefully today)

I'll think about how to add a recipe picture...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 12aon:
Very cool, I'll be rooting on the sidelines :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mr.right77:
Hi. I'm installing this application for the first time. I'm using Ubuntu and I can't install the MyShoppingListCompanionV3.2.msi pack. where can I find a .cab version?

thank you so much
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Not sure that I understood you, the MyShoppingListCompanion is a Windows PC application, do you try to install it on Linux?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mr.right77:
I've installed my shopping list on my htc with wm6.

the software works but I don't see any category except for "general" and I think I have to install MyShoppingListCompanion on the device to see others lists. is that correct?

I can't use ActiveSync, because I don't have a windows pc, so I can't install the .msi file on the wm phone
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
One way to get additional categories, is by clicking in the main screen on the Edit Categories button, than in the opened window, you can type names of new categories on the top part of it (where is written "enter new category text") and click the V button.

The MyShoppingListCompanion is not a mobile application, its a Windows PC application that enables you edit and change the mobile items directly from your PC - if you prefer to do that, the use of this program is totally optional.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Released new version 4.11

* Very minor change in SMS message format.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mr.right77:
ok, thanks. I thought the software had already a list of items as I saw in the images in the 1st post.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 12aon:
But a very cool one :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] genuine:
Excellent piece of software!

[Windows Mobile Software Development] nhvoltagenh:
Ok im a bit lost.

What I want to do.

Add items to a list so that i never have to add them again.

then from that list create a shopping list of needed items.

I cant seem to figure out how to do so.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
You go into the Saved Lists section

Create as much as you need different lists, and items in them.

Now when you go shopping, you open the Saved List, select the items you need, and copy them to the Shopping List...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nhvoltagenh:
feature request

See if i can explain.

so your on the go shopping list.

right now you have it set to hide checked items.

my request would be not to hide checked items but to rather dull and italic them

then if you press and hold a dulled item, an option to uncheck would show.

then if unchecked, it would return back to the list as normal.

I ask for this as to make things a bit faster to re-add items to the list.

instead of unhidding, then unchecking the re hiding.

heres a screen shot i made to show what i mean.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
I can do it.

The problem is that with this option, the number of the items in the list wont change, so if you get a long list, while you are shopping, you'll have to scroll all those checked items multiple times up and down, to get to the few items you still didn't check.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nhvoltagenh:
maybe an added part would be to move checked items to bottom
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
thats a problem, as the items are sorted and grouped by categories...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nhvoltagenh:
ok, ya im no programmer so i dont know the ends and outs.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tito12:
Hi Amir

French updated :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Achristocat:
Forgive me if this has been answered somewhere else - I read through 95% of posts and searched for the answer...

Does the PC companion allow you to make "saved lists"? Seems like it only allows you to make a general list of ALL items. I've been trying to work my way around, but doesn't seem like a way to make it happen from PC.

Great program though and seems to have a LOT of great potential. Thank you for your hard work and I am planning on donating... :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Achristocat:
P.S. Is there a general FAQ or How To Do... Or General Instructions?

Using PC companion, I made a few lists - Shopping, Camping, etc. saved to handheld...

When I go to Saved Lists on my Touch Pro 2 I Only get Camping list - no Shopping. Cannot edit or see what's in my Camping list.

If i hit Edit Shopping List, I can see everything I put in my shopping list, but cannot get to anything I put in Camping list. Is there a way to get to the Camping list to edit on my Handheld?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
When you go into Saved Lists from the main screen, you see a list of all saved lists, click on the Edit icon on the left side of a specific list to see and edit the items inside that list...

hope that helped...

Question:

After searching in this thread i have nothing found about a GTX skin.

Has someone doine this job before? Then i can stop my work. Otherwise

i will start to do that. Possible a sharing work.

If someone has done things, PM me please

Will someone work togehter, please PM me too
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Achristocat:
Thank you! I did not know that was a clickable button. I would check the box (that seemed obvious to me) but then choose Edit from the Menu button which is standard operating procedure for most programs...

Thanks for clearing that up!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Achristocat:
Could you please let me know what the check means next to an item? In other words if the box is checked, what exactly does that do for the item? Thanks...Still working on figuring out how your hierarchy / system works. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Achristocat:
...and as far as I can tell, only the topmost list Under Shopping list tab in the Companion can become a "shopping" list. Is this correct?

Also the topmost list is not visible under Saved lists no matter what I do. The two lists below it show up under saved lists. I created them all the same way - in Companion.

Thanks! Sorry for all the posts. I'll do my best to wait a bit and consolidate my questions...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mike2nl:
GTX skin

The new skin for the shopping list is ready.

GTX skinned but not published.

I have/will to check it with the OP and my thread partner chris10230.

What we have to check:

- 100% GTX style

- grafic shadows ok

- colors ok

- used icons ok

This is the todo. A screenshot will be published in the next hour, because a complete reboot of all sytems (3 server, 3 workstations, 2 laptops, 2 mobile phones, and all the grafics sh....t :eek:). The screenshot is only a little bit food for all of you :).

And a new nice chrome icon. But it is also possible todo that in the GTX color.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
cool skin... :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
It is used in the various menu operations, for example if you select Delete from the menu, it will delete the checked items, etc..
[Windows Mobile Software Development] indiana77:
Great apps, thx for release

Thought i have a minor bug with the new apps icon.

When i go to the start menu, i can seen the new icon, but i always have the old one in the home screen (shortcut).

Perhaps because i use a "20 shortcuts for manila" application.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
The problem is the HTC icons cache.

- Remove the icon from the quick links

- On your device goto: Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher and there delete the file "My Shopping List.bmg"

- Add back the quick link

Please let me know if the issue was resolved
[Windows Mobile Software Development] indiana77:
Yes you're right !!

Thx for your help.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jeckyll:
Nice update amirdt !

I've used your app today for shopping...

Man that was fun ! I finally get all the things I needed.

No more - Ups... ! I forgot the flour...

I have a happy wife now ! :D

Thanks again mate !
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
hehe, thats great to hear.

BTW, I am using your icon now for the application, it looks great, thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] zjxpot:
Nice Apps, this illustration really help, I am still having problems trying to understand categories, example I have a few vehicles and I have each one as a list, I would like to enter different categories like Engine parts, Maintenance, etc, etc, How do I enter these categories and enter the parts I want to purchase under these different categories??:confused: Thanks in advance and keep up the good hard work, thanks again.

ps are you thinking about a user guide when you get this apps to the vision that you have for it?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Categories are accessed from the "Edit Shoping List" view and the "Saved Lists" view.

When you enter into either ("Edit Shoping List" or "Saved Lists") , you see at the top the default category: "General"

If you want to change it, just click it, You'll go into the Category config window in which you can select an existing category, or create a new one.

Note that the categories are common to all Shopping lists, that is if you create a category for one saved list, that category will be available to all other lists too.

I added in todo list to add also access to categories config from the main view.

Good idea, added to the todo list
[Windows Mobile Software Development] O.a.T.:
Really like where this is headed, but I do have one suggestion. Putting the category name after each item in the category seems redundant. Seems it would save a lot of space (more items per page) to just list each item in the category without the category repeated for each item.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
I agree that this line is not really needed. However, unfortunately the Manila SDK that I use, keeps the same line height regardless if one adds the category name or not.

Edit: Strike what I wrote above, it is rather simple to remove the second line, will be done for next release.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] O.a.T.:
Thx for quick reply. I see. Hmmm? Maybe use that space then for something else. But what? Blank field for additional short user note during shopping? Priority?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Good ideas, I'll need to investigate it

Edit: second line will be removed
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dan_ru:

What about qvga version? Is there any chance to get it?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Yes of course, added to the todo list.

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] -Arturo-:
Yes, QVGA please.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Thor84:
No, I mean I'd like to use more beautiful icons, I made for you earlier.. :-)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
hehe, OK, still much more work other issues before I get to that part... :o
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Thor84:
Of course...

Also I'd liek to share with you one very useful app - please check.

It's same as yours, but I think you can get some very useful things, when tried it.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
About the companion you are correct.

About the mobile application, you have a direct access to edit the Shopping List from the main screen (the topmost button in the main screen) so having it again in the Saved Lists is not needed.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] brooklyncat:
This was a must to have. Thanks for the post.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wertzui:
First i want to say thank you, its a great app!

An i would really like to see a barcode reader functionality.

That way i could just scan everything, i put into my shopping basket and not have to search it from a list.
