Essential Windows CE Application Programming stresses efficient programming in C rather than C++ and shows how to write software for today's Windows CE platform. After a quick introduction to Windows CE and handheld devices, author Robert Burdick provides a working template for a basic application. He then explains dialog boxes, basic controls, and common controls, such as the calendar and date-time-picker controls. The menu system in Windows CE is quite specialized, and Burdick demonstrates how to use its command bars effectively, providing tool tips along the way.

"Inside Windows CE" offers conceptual frameworks that can help developers understand their design options. Having the ability to pick and choose the smallest set of needed OS modules allows OEMs to use memory efficiently. The book includes a series of real-world case studies of new platforms based on Windows CE to demonstrate its wide-ranging flexibility. This will be a very popular book for developers working with Windows CE.

This four-volume set provides everything a developer needs to begin writing applications for the Microsoft Windows CE operating system and the ever-expanding range of devices it supports. Text resources include "Microsoft Windows CE Programmer's Guide, 2nd Ed., User Interface Services Guide, Communications Guide" and "Device Driver Kit". The CD includes the e-book versions of all four titles.

Handheld PCs are just the start of a whole new generation of communications, entertainment, and mobile computing devices running the Windows CE operating system. This book shows developers how to use their knowledge of C/C++ and the Win32 API to build, debug, and run applications for Windows CE on their current desktop systems. The CD-ROM includes a fully searchable version of the "Windows CE Win 32 Reference" and more.

This guidebook shows you how to be productive quickly using Visual Basic (VB) tools for the Windows CE platform. The book starts with a guide to installing and using the Microsoft VBCE Toolkit, and then outlines the major differences between ordinary VB development and the (restricted) CE version.

In-depth coverage of operating system architecture, development tools and environments, adaptation procedures, and software and hardware design.

With the growing popularity of the Windows CE platform, writing small, efficient applications is once again crucial. Doug Boling's Programming Microsoft Windows CE shows experienced Windows C programmers how to write lean-and-mean software for today's hand-held PCs.

Windows CE is Microsoft's new compact operating system for handheld computers, PalmPCs, and set-top box computers. Windows CE Developer's Handbook will show developers and programmers how to create self-supporting applications on these new hardware devices in their favorite languages (Visual C++ 6, Visual Basic 6, and Visual J++ 6). The author includes many C++ and Visual Basic examples to show readers how to port Windows 95 apps to the Windows CE OS and create new apps for this tiny OS.
