4.1 Navigating In Windows Embedded CE 5.0
Note: In order to access many of the menus discussed in this chapter, the secu-
rity level must be set to ‘Supervisor’ (see “Security Settings” on page 64).
Graphic user interfaces like Windows Embedded CE 5.0 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 Embedded CE 5.0 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.
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 45.
Each WORKABOUT PRO G2 is equipped with 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 WORKABOUT PRO G2.
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
If your WORKABOUT PRO G2 touchscreen has been disabled, you can use the
keyboard to choose icons, navigate dialog boxes, display the desktop, and so on. If
your unit has already been fully configured and your application is launched at
startup, you’ll have little need for keyboard navigation, but you can refer to
Table 4.1 on page 58 for a description of the navigation keys.
