Device Packages Panel (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
The Device Packages panel contains device-side file components, each associated with one or more target devices specified in the Devices panel. As with desktop-side file components, you can associate each file with a locale.
The following table describes the elements in this panel.
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
Defined packages |
The Defined packages list contains pre-defined device packages that are available in this plug-in. To add a device package, click Add. A new entry appears in the Defined packages box. To delete a device package, select it in the Defined packages box, click Delete, and then click Yes to confirm the deletion. The files associated with the deleted device package are also removed from the plug-in. |
Files for package <Device package name> |
The Files for package <Device package name> list contains device-side file components associated with the currently selected device package. A file component is an abstraction of a file over one or more locales. That is, file component A can refer to [C:]\myfolder\en-us\mydeviceapp.exe for English; [C:]\myfolder\ja\mydeviceapp.exe for Japanese; and so forth. To add a file component, click Add Component, and then click the newly added file component to rename it. To remove a file component, click the file component you want to remove, and then click Remove. Click Yes to confirm the deletion. To make a file component a primary component, the actual device-side binary that launches on the device upon deployment, select a file component in the Files for package <Device package name> list, and then select the Primary component check box. To make a file component locale-independent, select the Locale independent check box. You will notice that the Paths in <selected file component> have the Locale set to Any, which means that the file is used by all locales. |
Paths in <File component name> |
The Paths in <File component name> list contains the location(s) of device-side files in the selected file component. To edit the file path of a file in the Paths in <File component name> list, double-click on its path column. The Open dialog box displays, allowing you to select a file. If the file does not exist on your system at the time of editing, you can type the path in the box next to Generalize Path. To shorten the file paths, you can use a variable substitution for the path name by clicking Generalize Path. In the dialog box, you can assign variables to specific directory levels. |
