Getting Started

The Soft Buttons (Windows CE)

A set of soft buttons are provided which can be programmed so that they perform various functions when clicked. You can toggle between command bar and soft button display either by clicking the following buttons:

or by pressing the keys Ctrl + Alt + Left Cursor or Ctrl + Alt + Right Cursor. (Note that you can assign these functions to any other keys using the virtual key names CB_NEXT and CB_PREV.)

You can define up to four soft button levels. Level 1 is displayed by default. Each level consists of twelve programmable buttons, providing a combined total of 48 programmable buttons. Levels stored off-screen can be 'scrolled' into view by clicking one of the arrow buttons.

The soft buttons are programmed using the Soft Buttons dialog box, which is displayed by selecting Settings in the menu bar then Soft Buttons... Refer to the Setup Menus chapter for information on programming the buttons.
