Usage

To run the code sample

  1. Navigate to the solution file (*.sln), and double-click it. By default, the solution files are copied to the following folders:

    C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\Samples\Common\CPP\ATL\MiniPIE

    Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 launches and loads the solution.

  2. Build the solution (Ctrl+Shift+B).

  3. Deploy the solution (F5).

To use the application

  1. Navigate using the Open URL... menu item, or by using the Address Bar, if deploying to a device running Windows Mobile 6 Professional or Windows Mobile 6 Classic.

  2. Use the Exit softkey to quit.

  3. Use the Back, Forward, Refresh, Home,and Stop menu items as you would in Internet Explorer Mobile.

Source File Listing

  • MainWindow.h, MainWindow.cpp
    Defines the main application window.
  • GetURLDialog.h, GetURLDialog.cpp
    Defines a dialog box that allows the User to enter an URL. This is not really needed to host the web browser control; however, it is implemented here to allow the User to navigate on Windows Mobile 6 Standard, where the IWebBrowser2::get_AddressBar property is not implemented.
  • MiniPIE.cpp
    Implementation of WinMain.
  • MiniPIE.rc
    Resources used by this application.
  • resource.h
    Header file that defines resource IDs. Used by MiniPIE.rc.
  • Macros.h
    Utility macros used for error-checking, etc.
  • StdAfx.h, StdAfx.cpp
    These files are used to build a Precompiled Header (PCH) file named MiniPIE.pch, and a precompiled type file named StdAfx.obj.
  • MiniPIE.vcproj
    Main project file for VC++ projects generated using Application Wizards.
