Principles Windows CE Programming
Overview
This workshop introduces C/C++ programmers to the elements needed to write programs to run on Microsoft Windows CE. This workshop focuses on the subset of Win32 - the 32-bit Windows Application Programming Interface (API) - that has been implemented in Windows CE. A set of core topics covers the basic user-interface, graphical output, and kernel programming topics needed to begin building robust software.

Who Should Attend
This lecture and lab-based workshop is intended for software engineers who need to understand the design and operation of Windows CE. This includes software architects, designers, programmers, testers, and development managers. No prior experience with Windows programming is required.

Workshop Highlights
  • Building Win32 applications for Windows CE
  • Writing user-interface code for a Windows CE
  • Building dialog boxes and property sheets
  • Creating graphical output for a Windows CE
  • Windows CE memory management issues
  • Building Dynamic Link Libraries for Windows CE

Performance Objectives
On completion of this workshop, attendees will be able to...
  • Describe the Win32 API feature set as implemented on Windows CE.
  • Describe the main features of a minimum Windows program.
  • Write code to create and manipulate Windows CE.
  • Describe the operation of message-based programs and name the ten most important messages that Windows CE programs handle.
  • Write code to correctly handle Unicode strings.
  • Write code to draw text, vector, and raster data in a window.
  • Write code to handle pointing device input and keyboard input.
  • Write code to handle Windows CE notifications and Windows timers.
  • Write code to correctly handle command bars and other command input.
  • Describe the operation of dialog box controls and write code to maintain controls.
  • Write code to create and support both modal and modeless dialog boxes.
  • Describe available common dialog boxes and write code to support common dialog boxes.
  • Write code to create and maintain property sheets and property sheet pages.
  • Describe Windows CE related memory management issueson Windows CE programs.
  • Create a dynamic link library.
