The Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0 delivers the tools programmers need to easily build solutions for handheld PCs, Palm-size PCs, and custom platforms powered by Windows CE. The tool kit utilizes the Visual Basic 6.0 development environment, making it easy for developers to apply their knowledge of Visual Basic to the Windows CE platform. The tool kit includes Windows CE specific technology, such as emulation, for building Windows CE applications on the desktop without a target device and remote tools for optimizing and debugging applications natively on a handheld PC or Palm-size PC 1.2 or later. As corporations and developers adopt Windows CE-based devices, they can easily deploy custom solutions using their existing Visual Basic programming expertise. Supported processor architectures include ARM (including StrongARM), MIPS, PowerPC, Super-H, and x86.
Other features and benefits of the Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0 include:
- Integration with Visual Basic: Apply your current expertise with the integrated Visual Basic development environment to build dynamic Windows CE-based solutions.
- Remote application debugger: Debug programs running on a remote Windows CE device through standard serial, parallel, or Ethernet connections.
- ActiveX Controls: Develop your solutions quickly by using powerful ActiveX Controls for Windows CE.
- Desktop emulation environment: Create and debug Windows CE-based applications from your desktop--no device needed. Built-in emulation technology provides the look and function of a Windows CE device, right on your desktop system.
- Remote tools: Monitor and debug programs running on your Windows CE device using remote tools such as Spy, Process Viewer, and Registry Editor.
- Sample projects: Get up to speed quickly with detailed examples of Visual Basic-based applications designed specifically for Windows CE.
Microsoft Windows CE is an operating system, developed from scratch, that is designed to be the basis for many radically different types of devices. The approach was to create a foundation of software building blocks that could be assembled in many different ways to create new devices. This means that if you wanted to build a device, you could pick and choose only those pieces you needed and keep the size of your software consistent with the size of your device.
