Creating a Full-screen Browser

The %_WINCEROOT%\Public\Ie\Oak\Iesimple folder contains the source files for a browser container that provides both the window user interface (UI) of IESample and full-screen browser without menu, address, and status bars. The user can toggle between the two UI modes. In all other respects, the IESimple browser has the same functionality as IESample. For more information, see The IESample Browser.

An executable IESimple application is provided as a module in Platform Builder, in the %_WINCEROOT%\Public\Ie\Oak\Lib\<platform> folders. To add the IESimple application, IESimple.exe, to your project, use the following Sysgen commands:

set __SYSGEN_IESIMPLE=1 
set SYSGEN_IESAMPLE= <no value> 

To build IESIMPLE from the build window

  1. Navigate to the %_WINCEROOT%\Public\Ie\Oak folder.
  2. Type WINCEREL=1.
  3. Type build -c.
  4. Type sysgen -p ie iesimple.

For more information about adding a new module to your platform, see Platform Customization.
