The Windows Embedded CE Terminal Services Client (CETSC) provides several user interface (UI) features that you can customize. By customizing specific UI features in CETSC UI, you can:
- expose additional features to the user
- restrict or simplify the exposed functionality
- customize UI text to reflect your branding for the Windows Embedded CE powered device
You can define customizations in a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) UI module called cetscoem.dll. You must apply changes to cetscoem.cpp before building this DLL and adding it to the run-time image. Cetscoem.dll is automatically included in a run-time image when you set SYSGEN_RDP_UI.
During run time, cetsc.exe calls the functions in cetscoem.dll to exchange information about CETSC UI and apply your changes to CETSC UI.
You can customize the CETSC UI for a Windows Embedded CE powered device that is running either the Standard Shell or the Windows Thin Client Shell.
