Many definitions for this Glossary were taken directly from the Microsoft Developer’s Network website at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp.
Active notification
The state of a user notification from the time the user is notified until the user handles the event.
Active window
The window in which a user is currently working or directing input. An active window is typically on top of the Z order
and is distinguished by the colour of its title bar.
ActiveSync
Microsoft Windows Communication application that synchronises a Windows CE.NET device with a Microsoft
Windows based host PC. ActiveSync can use RS-232, USB and Wireless networks.
Calibration
A user might require the recalibrating of the touch screen. One way to know that the touch screen needs to be
recalibrated is to notice that when you attempt to select an item with the stylus, another item is erroneously selected.
Command bar
A control window that can contain buttons, combo boxes and menu bars. Windows CE-based applications can use a
command bar rather than a separate menu bar and toolbar to efficiently use available screen space.
Compact Flash (CF) card
Compact Flash® is a very small removable mass storage device. CF™ cards are designed with flash technology, a
non-volatile storage solution that does not require a battery to retain data indefinitely. CF™ cards consume only 5%
of the power required by small disk drives. CF™ cards are available as modems, Ethernet, serial, digital phone cards,
scanners, 802.11b WiFi LAN, etc.
Control
A standardised part of the window that can be manipulated by the user to perform action or display information. The
most common controls are buttons that allow the user to select options and scroll bars that allow the user to move
through a document or position text in a window.
Context sensitive help
Tap the “?” button to open a help dialog about the specific windows application you are using. Context sensitive help
can tell you where you are in a program and can provide assistance with the specific problems you might be having.
Control panel
Control panels are several different applets that allow you to configure the iDLMax to meet your specific
requirements. There are control panels for scanning, keyboard, display, etc. Access the control panels at the Start
menu: Start>Settings>Control Panel.
Device manager
A tool to track all loaded device drivers and their interfaces. It issues notification of the appearance and
disappearance of device interfaces, loads and tracks drivers by reading and writing registry values and unloads
drivers when their devices are no longer required.
Device partnership
A registry key on a Windows CE.NET device that a desktop computer uses to identify the device when it is
connected. The key defines values for synchronisation, file conversions, backup and restores information, which
enable multiple Windows CE.NET devices to connect to the same desktop computer. A device partnership is created
the first time you connect a Windows CE.NET device to a host PC.
Embedded
Broadly, software code or commands built into a device, as opposed to software that is added. In a narrower sense,
code that is typically stored in ROM and described to either controlling a device or providing a specific functionality.
Firmware
Operating System of the iDLMax.
Positioning bar
A positioning bar is a tall, thin rectangle with a dark stripe running through it that appears on a rebar or a command
band control. By touching and dragging a positioning bar with a stylus, a user can reposition a rebar or command bar.
Positioning bars are especially useful for bringing off-screen rebar or command bar controls into view.
Host PC system
PC using the Microsoft Windows operating system and/or ActiveSync in a device partnership with the iDLMax.
Input method (IM)
A component that allows the user to input text using a touch screen.
Input panel
Refer to soft input panel (SIP)
Mounted file system
A file system located on a removable medium, such as a PC Card storage device. The operating system loads or
mounts the file system when the medium is inserted into the device. It unloads or un-mounts the file system when the
medium is removed or when the user issues a command to do so.
