6.1.5 Kiosk mode

The utility allows to enable the kiosk mode.
When enabled, the panel will start directly the HMI Runtime with related project without
showing the Windows CE Explorer.
Figure 53:
To enable kiosk mode, just open the utility and mark the "Enable kiosk mode" in the
check box.
At the moment you enable the kiosk mode, you can also create a file which allows tem-
porarily kiosk mode deactivation. The file is created using the "Create file" button. Plug
a USB stick into an USB port and store the file directly on the root directory of the USB
stick.
If the USB pen drive is plugged in, the file is automatically recognized and kiosk mode
will be disabled immediately until the next power cycle.
If you had forgotten to create the file at the moment the kiosk mode was enabled, you
can simply make it manually by yourself.
Create a text file named "SystemManager.xml". Open it with any text editor and copy in,
the following text.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SystemManager>
<Commands>
<Command Type="RunProcess" FilePath="explorer.exe" Arguments=""
WaitCompletion="0"/>
</Commands>
</SystemManager>
Save the file and use it as explained before.
Kiosk mode
If Kiosk mode is enabled and the HMI Runtime is terminated, or simply closed
with the proper command, Explorer will not be started automatically and you
will apparently end up in a situation where the screen is frozen and not react-
ing.
To avoid this annoying condition it is enough to include the launch Explorer
command before the Runtime shutdown as shown in the figure below.
