4.1 Navigating In Windows CE .NET And Applications
Graphic user interfaces like Windows CE .NET for portable devices or desktop
Windows (2000, XP, etc.) utilize 'point and click' navigation. On the WORK-
ABOUT PRO, this is accomplished using a touchscreen and stylus rather than
a mouse. An equivalent keyboard shortcut is also available for every 'point and
click' action.
4.1.1 Navigating Using A Touchscreen And Stylus
Note: If the touchscreen is not registering your screen taps accurately, it may
need recalibration. Refer to
A touchscreen is a standard feature on all WORKABOUT PROs. Each is equipped
with a stylus – a pointing tool that looks like a pen – stored in a slot at the top of the
unit. The stylus is used to select objects on the touchscreen.
•
Tap the stylus on the appropriate icon to open a file or launch an applet.
4.1.2 Navigating Using The Keyboard
If the touchscreen on your unit is disabled, choosing icons and navigating dialogue
boxes, displaying the desktop, and so on will require keyboard input.
Operation
Switch between active applications <ALT> <TAB>
Open task manager
Move the cursor
Open file, folder or icon
Exit & Save
Close/Exit & Do Not Save
Navigate Dialogue Boxes
Select Radio Button/Press Button
Go to Start Menu
Keep in mind that unlike a desktop computer, the WORKABOUT PRO does not
support key chording (pressing two keys at the same time). You must press one key
followed by the next in sequence.
