The IESimple Browser (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
The %_WINCEROOT%\Public\Ie\Oak\Iesimple folder contains the source files for a browser container that provides both the window user interface (UI) of IESample and full-screen browser without menu, address, and status bars. The user can toggle between the two UI modes.
The IESample browser application implements the IWebBrowser2 interface. We recommend that you use the IESample code as a starting point for your custom browser.
In all other respects, the IESimple browser has the same functionality as IESample. For more information, see The IESample Browser.
An IESimple application executable is provided in Platform Builder, in the %_WINCEROOT%\Public\Ie\Oak\Lib\<Hardware Platform> folders. To add the IESimple application to your OS design, use the following Sysgen commands:
set __SYSGEN_IESIMPLE=1
set SYSGEN_IESAMPLE= <no value>
To build IESIMPLE from the build window
Browse to the %_WINCEROOT%\Public\Ie\Oak folder.
Type WINCEREL=1.
Type build -c.
Type sysgen -p ie iesimple.
However, if your run-time image requires a browser application that has very limited functionality: for example, one that only opens, closes, and perhaps prints HTML files that are located on the user's device or a local network, use the Internet Explorer Browser Control Host. For more information about how to implement this interface, see Internet Explorer Browser Control Host.
