Known Problems

  • Programs like life.tcl are very slow. Profiling did not give me a hint what could be improved.
  • Drawing arcs/ellipses is not supported. These functions are not implemented in GDI.
  • Com-Ports must have a colon at the end (COM1:).
  • Button-presses are not always recognized at once.
  • The client area is currently not repainted when switching frame menus.
  • On WINCE211 there are some severe window update problems, especially when using the notebook widget.

    Installation

  • Download package for your device and the common package. Unpack on PC and copy to device. Get latest celib.dll. Copy celib.dll to the \windows directory.
  • Enter registry entries like in the sample registry.bat file. You must set the library paths.

    For info on setting registry entries, read registry.
