Windows Embedded CE 6.0
Navigating in Windows Embedded CE and Applications
Graphic user interfaces such as Windows Embedded CE for portable devices and desktop Windows (Windows
Vista™, Windows 7, Windows 8, etc.) utilize point and click navigation. An equivalent keyboard shortcut is also
available for every point and click action.
Windows Embedded CE supports the same point and click user interface and keyboard shortcuts as desktop
Windows with one difference — the point and click action is accomplished using a touchscreen rather than a
mouse. Actions can be performed using any combination of keyboard shortcuts or touchscreen tapping. In
those applications that support it, you can also flick and pan your finger to scroll through screens.
Navigating Using a Touchscreen
NOTE
If the touchscreen is not registering your screen taps accurately, the touch-
screen may need recalibration. Refer to
page
The Omnii comes equipped with a stylus — a pointing tool that looks like a pen. The stylus is used to select
objects on the touchscreen. You can also use gestures with your fingers. You can use two gestures: pan and
flick. Use left or right flicks to quickly move between tabs of a multi-tab control panel, or to scroll long lists of
options. Use panning by touching and dragging a page that has scrollbars.
NOTE
To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only a finger touch or the stylus
(pen) supplied with your Omnii.
To choose an icon, open a file, launch an applet or open a folder:
•
Double-tap on the appropriate icon.
