  • Article

Use this page of the wizard to set options for the Windows CE project.

  • Application type
    Creates the specified application type.

    Option

    Description

    Windows

    application

    Creates an executable application (.exe) written in Visual C or Visual C++ using calls to the Windows CE API to create a graphical user interface.

    Console

    application

    Creates console application architecture for your application. This option is available only for platforms that support console applications.

    DLL

    Creates a binary file (DLL) written in Visual C or Visual C++ that uses calls to the Windows CE API instead of to MFC classes. It acts as a shared library of functions that can be used simultaneously by multiple applications. You can indicate that the DLL exports symbols.

    Static library

    Creates a file that contains objects (with their functions and data) that links into your program when the executable file is built. You can link a static library to an MFC-based program or to a non-MFC program. You cannot add support for ATL to a static library project.

  • Additional options
    Defines support and options for the application, depending on its type.

    Option

    Description

    Empty project

    Specifies that the project files are blank. If you have a set of source code files (such as .cpp files, header files, icons, toolbars, or dialog boxes) and want to create a project in the Visual C++ development environment, you must first create an empty project, and then add the files to the project. This selection is unavailable for static library projects.

    Export symbols

    Specifies that a DLL project exports symbols. If this option is checked, the DLL project will include a header file that uses the __declspec(dllexport) keyword to export members in the project. The output of the build will include a library (.lib) and a module-definition (.def) file.

    Precompiled header

    Specifies that a static library project uses a precompiled header.

  • Add support for
    Add support for one of the libraries supplied in Visual C++.

    Option
