Determining Which Catalog Items Are Included in an OS Design (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

After you create an OS design (.pbxml file) in Platform Builder, you can determine which Catalog items are included in your OS design.

Knowing approximately what functionality your OS design includes helps you determine what modifications you can make in the design before building a run-time image based on the OS design.

To determine which Catalog items are included in an OS design

  1. From the File menu, choose Open, and then choose Project/Solution.

  2. Select your OS design (.pbxml) file, and then choose Open.

  3. In the Catalog Items View window, choose Filter, and then choose User-selected Catalog Items and Dependencies.

    If the Catalog Items View window does not appear, to display the window, from the View menu, choose Other Windows, and then choose Catalog Items View.

  4. To view the Catalog items in your OS design, expand the nodes in the Catalog item tree.

    The Catalog items in your design are grouped by category, using the same structure as the Catalog. The items are also differentiated by icons for each status type. For more information about icon types, see Catalog Item Icon Types.

After you familiarize yourself with the Catalog items that your OS design contains, you can modify your design before building the run-time image. For more information, see Catalog Overview.
