Viewing Component Resources

In Windows XP Embedded Target Designer, you can view the files, registry data, and other resources of a component after you add it to a configuration.

To view component resources in Target Designer

  1. In Windows XP Embedded Target Designer, open the configuration.

  2. In the configuration editor, expand the Components node.

  3. Expand the node for the component you want to view.

  4. To view the files in this component, under the component node, choose Files.

    The files are displayed in the details pane. If the Files node is not present, choose the View menu, and verify that there is a check mark next to Resources. If there is not, choose Resources. If the node still does not appear, the component is designed to be opaque and its files are not viewable.

  5. To view the registry data in this component, under the component node, choose Registry Data.

    The registry entries are displayed in the details pane. If the Registry Data node is not present, choose the View menu, and verify that there is a check mark next to Resources. If there is not, choose Resources. If the node still does not appear, the component is designed to be opaque and its registry data is not viewable.

  6. To view other files, dependencies, and custom resources in this component, under the component node, choose Resources.

    The resources are displayed in the details pane. If the Resources node is not present, choose the View menu, and verify that there is a check mark next to Resources. If there is not, choose Resources. If the node still does not appear, the component is designed to be opaque and its resources are not viewable.
