Chapter 4: Working With Windows CE
Navigating In Windows CE .NET And Applications
4.1 Navigating In Windows CE .NET And Applications
Graphic user interfaces like Windows CE .NET for portable devices and desktop
Windows (2000, XP, etc.) utilize ‘point and click’ navigation. An equivalent
keyboard shortcut is also available for every ‘point and click’ action.
Windows CE .NET supports the same ‘point and click’ user interface and keyboard
shortcuts as desktop Windows with one difference – the ‘point and click’ action is
accomplished using a touchscreen rather than a mouse. Actions can be performed
using any combination of keyboard shortcuts or touchscreen tapping. (Keep in mind
that some 7535s are not equipped with touchscreens).
4.1.1 Navigating Using A Touchscreen And Stylus
Note: If the touchscreen is not registering your screen taps accurately, the
touchscreen may need recalibration. Refer to “Calibrating The Touch-
screen” on page 46.
A touchscreen is standard for all 7530s but is an optional feature on 7535s. A
hand-held equipped with a touchscreen has a stylus – a pointing tool that looks
like a pen – stored in a slot at the top of the unit. The stylus is used to select objects
on the touchscreen.
Note: To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only the stylus (pen)
supplied with your 7535/7530.
To choose an icon, open a file, launch an applet or open a folder:
• Double-tap the stylus on the appropriate icon.
4.1.2 Navigating Using The Keyboard
While all 7530s are equipped with touchscreens, 7535s can be ordered with or
without touchscreens. If your 7535 has a standard screen (rather than a touchscreen),
choosing icons and navigating dialog boxes, displaying the desktop, and so on
requires keyboard input. If your unit has already been fully configured and your
application is launched at startup, you’ll have little need for keyboard navigation.
Note: Keep in mind that these keyboard sequences can be used on all 7535s and
7530s regardless of whether or not they are equipped with touchscreens.
