Internet Explorer Browser Control Host Registry Settings

8/28/2008

The browser can be configured to play a sound file while the user is moving between Web pages. To enable this functionality on an audio-enabled device, you must specify the sound file in the device registry.

To specify the sound file in the registry

1. Add the following registry setting to the ie.reg file that is located in the %_WINCEROOT%\OSDesigns\<OS Design Name>\RelDir\<Hardware Platform_Configuration> folder to create the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\Navigating\.current key and set the Default value string to the full path of the sound file that is stored on the device.

   Copy

   ;Audio cue while moving between pages
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\Navigating\.current]
   @="\\Windows\\start.wav"
   

   Note:
   For information about how to modify the registry programmatically, see Registry Fundamentals.

2. Save the registry file and rebuild the run-time image.
