Processes (Windows CE 5.0)

Send Feedback

Keep the following points in mind about processes:

  • Windows CE can run up to 32 processes at one time.

  • A process starts with a single thread — often called the primary thread — that provides the resources that are required to run an application.

    Windows CE creates a primary thread when the loader calls the WinMain function.

  • A process can create additional threads as needed.

    The number of additional threads a process can create is limited by the amount of RAM available on the device. The kernel itself can address 512 MB of physical memory.

  • In Windows CE, threads migrate between process slots during system calls. For more information, see System Calls.
