Chapter 6 Applock; Introduction - Honeywell VX6 Reference Manual

Introduction

LXE's AppLock is designed to be run on LXE certified Windows CE based devices only. LXE
loads the AppLock program as part of the LXE customer installation process.
Configuration parameters are specified by the AppLock Administrator for the mobile device end-
user. AppLock is password protected by the Administrator.
End-user mode locks the end-user into the configured applications. The end user can still reboot
the mobile device and respond to dialog boxes. The administrator-specified applications are
automatically launched in the specified order and run in full screen mode when the device boots
up.
When the mobile device is reset to factory default values, for example after a cold reset, the
Administrator may need to reconfigure the AppLock parameters.
LXE has made the assumption, in this chapter, that the first user to power up a new mobile device
is the system administrator.
Note:
Note:
AppLock is updated periodically as new options become available. Contact your LXE
representative for assistance, downloads and update availability.

Chapter 6 AppLock

AppLock Administrator Control panel file Launch option does not inter-relate with
similarly-named options contained in other LXE Control Panels.
A few applications do not follow normal procedures when closing. AppLock cannot
prevent this type of application from closing, but is notified that the application has
closed. For these applications, AppLock immediately restarts the application (see Auto
Re-Launch) which causes the screen to flicker. If this type of application is being locked,
the administrator should close all other applications before switching to end-user mode
to minimize the screen flicker.
