URL Moniker Services Overview (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

The URL Moniker Services (Urlmon) functionality for Windows Embedded CE provides URL management support in the form of URL monikers, asynchronous pluggable protocols, hit logging, and URL security zones.

A URL moniker is a system-provided moniker class that supports asynchronous binding to a URL. The URL moniker API frees developers from the complexities of creating, managing, and using URL monikers.

Asynchronous pluggable protocols let developers create pluggable protocol handlers, MIME filters, and namespace handlers that work with URL monikers in Internet Explorer for Windows Embedded CE browser.

The hit logging API allows Web developers to collect information about activity on their pages and to write customized entries in a log.

The URL security zones API lets developers manage URL security zones and policies, and create custom URL security zone managers. Effective with version 4.2, OEMs can customize the information that Urlmon dialog boxes provide to users. For more information, see Replacement of the Urlmon User Interface.
