Internet Appliance Design Template

8/27/2008

You can use the Internet Appliance design template as a starting point for an Internet appliance. An Internet appliance is a non-mobile, browser-based device.

Overview

As a fixed device, an Internet appliance supports a mouse and keyboard design that uses a CRT or LCD display. This design template also supports the Windows Embedded CE Standard Shell and applications that you can customize or substitute for a browser-based user interface (UI).

Use the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard in Platform Builder to create a starting point for an Internet appliance, and then customize the operating system (OS) design to fit your needs. The Catalog items that you use to configure your OS design can vary.

This design template resembles the Enterprise Web Pad design template.

Internet Appliance Catalog Items

The Internet Appliance design template is located in the Industrial Device category in the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard.

By default, when you use the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard to create an OS design based on the Internet Appliance design template, Platform Builder includes a specific set of Catalog items in the OS design.

After you finish with using the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard, you can add other Catalog items to your OS design. For more information, see Adding an Item from the Catalog.

Included Catalog Items

The following Catalog items are included in the Internet Appliance design template created by using the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard.

Default Catalog items do not appear in the wizard. Recommended Catalog items appear in the wizard as selected. You can remove these default recommendations by clearing the associated check boxes in the wizard, if it is necessary.

Note:
The following tables show Catalog items in the order that they appear in the Catalog Items View.
