Developing Applications for the CK30

The CK30 Handheld Computers run applications programmed in Microsoft Embedded Visual C++. The CK30C can also run applications developed for the .NET Compact framework using Microsoft C# and Visual Basic.

Use this section to understand what you need to:

•Develop a new application for the CK30.

•Develop a web-based application for the CK30.

•Convert a Trakker Antares application to a CK30 application.

Developing a New Application for the CK30

Use the Intermec SDK to develop new applications to run on the CK30. The Intermec SDK is a library of C++ language functions you can use to create applications for the CK30.

See the SDK online user’s manual for help developing your application. The Intermec SDK User’s Manual contains hardware and software requirements, all of the functions that are supported by the CK30, and how to use these functions.

The SDK is part of the Intermec Developer’s Library (IDL), which is available on CD (P/N 235-114-001) or as a download from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.

You need these hardware and software components to use the

Intermec SDK:

•Pentium PC, 400 MHz or higher

•Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2 or later) or Windows XP (Home, Professional, or Server)

•For native C++ development, Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ version 4.0

•For .NET Development and Compact Framework (C# and VB.NET), Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003

•128MB RAM (196MB recommended)

•360MB Hard drive space for minimum installation (720MB for complete)
