PRB: MaxDX-Based Platform Uses a Different Version of IESample.exe (306196)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows CE Platform Builder 2.12
  • Microsoft Windows CE Platform Builder 3.0
This article was previously published under Q306196

SYMPTOMS

After you install the Add-On Pack for Windows CE Platform Builder 3.0, an additional version of the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser (IESample.exe) is installed.

CAUSE

When you develop a platform, the source code that Internet Explorer uses depends on whether you use the IESample or the MaxDX configuration. For example:
  • IESample. When you develop a platform that is based on the IESample configuration, the Internet Explorer browser (IESample.exe) is built from source code in the following folder:

    \WinCE300\Public\IE\OAK\IESample

  • MaxDX. When you develop a platform that is based on the MaxDX configuration, the Internet Explorer browser is built from source code in the following folder:

    \WinCE300\Public\DirectX\SDK\Samples\WMP\IESample

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

The only difference between the two versions of IESample.exe is that the MaxDX version includes the following:
  • A minor change in the Options.cpp file that checks the return code for a call to the RasEnumEntries() function.
  • Additional code to handle multimedia messages when you navigate to a multimedia resource. For more information, see the CMainWnd::ProcessMediaNavigate method source code in Mainwnd.cpp.
