This code sample is named MiniPIE. It demonstrates how to reuse the Internet Explorer Mobile web browser in a mobile application.

To run the code sample

  1. Navigate to the solution file (*.sln), and double-click it. By default, the solution files are copied to the following folders:

    C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\Samples\Common\CPP\ATL\MiniPIE

    Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 launches and loads the solution.

  2. Build the solution (Ctrl+Shift+B).

  3. Deploy the solution (F5).

To use the application

  1. Navigate using the Open URL... menu item, or by using the Address Bar, if deploying to a device running Windows Mobile 6 Professional or Windows Mobile 6 Classic.

  2. Use the Exit softkey to quit.

  3. Use the Back, Forward, Refresh, Home,and Stop menu items as you would in Internet Explorer Mobile.

MainWindow.h, MainWindow.cpp

Defines the main application window.

GetURLDialog.h, GetURLDialog.cpp

Defines a dialog box that allows the User to enter an URL. This is not really needed to host the web browser control; however, it is implemented here to allow the User to navigate on Windows Mobile 6 Standard, where the IWebBrowser2::get_AddressBar property is not implemented.

MiniPIE.cpp

Implementation of WinMain.

MiniPIE.rc

Resources used by this application.

resource.h

Header file that defines resource IDs. Used by MiniPIE.rc.

Macros.h

Utility macros used for error-checking, etc.

StdAfx.h, StdAfx.cpp

These files are used to build a Precompiled Header (PCH) file named MiniPIE.pch, and a precompiled type file named StdAfx.obj.

MiniPIE.vcproj

Main project file for VC++ projects generated using Application Wizards.

SDK: Windows Mobile 6 Professional SDK and Windows Mobile 6 Standard SDK

Development Environment: Visual Studio 2005.

ActiveSync: Version 4.5.
