Chapter 4: Working With Windows CE .NET
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.
Note: Keep in mind that while the 8530 is always equipped with a touchscreen,
the 8525 can be ordered with or without a touchscreen.
4.1.1 Navigating Using A Touchscreen And Stylus
Note: If the touchscreen is not registering your screen taps accurately, it may
need recalibration. Refer to “Calibrating The Touchscreen” on page 38.
An 8525/8530 equipped with a touchscreen has a stylus – a pointing tool that looks
like a pen – that is used to select objects on the touchscreen.
Note: To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only the stylus (pen) supplied
with your 8525/8530.
To open a file, launch an applet or open a folder:
• Double-tap the stylus on the appropriate icon.
To navigate through a dialog box – for example, display the information in a tab,
choose a radio button, check a checkbox and so on:
• Tap the stylus on a tab, radio button, checkbox and so on.
