About the Code Samples Included On the CD
-----------------------------------------

The Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0 includes the following nine
sample projects, which demonstrate how to use properties and methods of some of
the Microsoft ActiveX controls included with the toolkit:

- 

  CEPAD

  A CE version of the Notepad application. The sample illustrates the use of
  graphics, resource file, Common Dialog, File, and CommandBar controls.

- 

  DICE

  This sample was adapted from the Webzee sample for VBScript for use with VBCE,
  and illustrates the use of graphics and sound files.

- 

  LOANCALC

  The LoanCalc sample demonstrates how to use the Microsoft CE Financial
  Functions object. These functions are contained in a COM object that you must
  create at run time using the CreateObject function. Specifically, the
  LoanCalc sample demonstrates the following:

   - Creating a Windows CE Financial Functions Object.
   - Calling a function in the object.
   - Using References to cause a COM object to automatically download.

- 

  MSCECOMM

  The goal of this sample is to illustrate the basics of the Microsoft CE Comm
  control including opening and closing a communications port and sending and
  receiving data.

- 

  NWIND

  The NWindCE sample demonstrates how to use the Microsoft CE ADOCE object.
  These functions are contained in a COM object that you must create at run
  time using the CreateObject function. Specifically, the NWindCE sample
  demonstrates the following:

   - Creating a Windows CE ADOCERecordset Object.
   - Calling methods and properties of the ADOCERecordset object.

- 

  SCRIBBLE

  This sample demonstrates the following:

   - How to auto-download related files.
   - How to program and manipulate shapes, pictures, points, and lines in the
     Microsoft CE Picturebox control.
   - How to program CommandBar buttons with pictures and menus.

- 

  SETUP1

  The Setup1 sample is the source used to create the setup1.exe that the
  Application Install Wizard uses when it creates setup programs for your
  Visual Basic for Windows CE Applications.

  NOTE: This is not a Windows CE Project, but rather a Standard EXE project for
  Visual Basic 6.0. It is provided here for your use if you want to customize
  your setup programs.

  In order to customize your setup, you must make a new setup1.exe, and place
  the new setup1.exe in the "CESetup.cab" file located in your "VBCE"
  directory.

  Use "MakeCab.exe" to make a new .cab file. It is important that all the files
  originally in CESetup.cab are in your custom CESetup.cab.

  Here are the original files that must be in CESetup.cab:

   - ASYCFILT.DLL
   - COMCAT.DLL
   - MSVBVM60.DLL
   - OLEAUT32.DLL
   - OLEPRO32.DLL
   - ST6UNST.EXE
   - STDOLE2.TLB
   - Setup1.exe

- 

  TreeView
  --------

  This is an application that demonstrates the TreeView control. Use of the
  TreeView control with an ImageList control is shown. Adding, modifying, and
  trapping events from TreeView nodes is demonstrated.

- 

  WSOCK

  The WSock sample demonstrates how to use the Microsoft CE Winsock control.

  Specifically the WSock sample demonstrates the following:

   - A sample application for running on your Desktop. This communicates with
     the CE Sample.
   - The VBCE version of the WSock sample. Run this on your CE Device to
     communicate with the Desktop version of the sample.

NOTE: By default, all the above samples are installed under c:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\VBCE\Samples directory.
