Your First Visual C++ for Windows CE Application

Your first Visual C++ for Windows CE application will be a simple application, a WCE MFC AppWizard (EXE) to be precise. This application will have a single view that will have a bitmap painted on it. We will also add a menu item that when clicked will evoke a dialog. This dialog will contain one of the Windows Common Controls, a progress control. Creating the Basic Application

Download the sample application source code.

To start your first Windows CE application we will generate a shell using the WCE MFC AppWizard. The numbered list below will step you trough this process: 1. Open Visual C++ and go to the File menu and choose the New item 2. Select the Projects property tab if it is not already selected. 3. Select WCE MFC AppWizard (exe) in the list control. 4. Type WCEFirstApp in the Project name edit box

When you finish, you will see the New dialog box as seen in Figure 3.

1. Press the Next button.

WCE MFC AppWizard (exe) - Step 1 of 4 will appear as seen in Figure 4. Notice that the selections are similar to the MFC AppWizard except that there is no Multiple documents selection. 6. Accept the defaults. 7. Press the Next button.

WCE MFC AppWizard (exe) - Step 2 of 4 will appear as seen in Figure 5. There are several options on this page. You can add support for Windows Sockets, ActiveX Controls, Windows Help, and Printing if your target supports Windows CE 2.1. You also can choose the type of command bar that you wish to support. For this exercise we will accept the defaults. 8. Accept the defaults. 9. Press the Next button.

WCE MFC AppWizard (exe) - Step 3 of 4 will appear as seen in Figure 6. You can choose to include generated comments, an option that I highly recommend. There is no such thing as too much documentation. There is also an option to link dynamically or statically with the MFC Library. Accept the defaults. 10. Accept the defaults. 11. Press the Next button.

WCE MFC AppWizard (exe) - Step 4 of 4 will appear as seen in Figure 7. This page gives you an opportunity to set the base class for the view. It also gives you an opportunity to set your file names. Accept the defaults. 12. Accept the defaults. 13. Press the Finish button.

The New Project Information dialog will appear as seen in Figure 8. Just like all Visual Studio AppWizards the wizards give you a final chance to look over your choices. 14. Press the Ok Button. 15. Select Build menu and choose the Rebuild All item.

When the application is completed building, you are ready to go on to the next section.
