4.1COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS

4.1.1XV400

The command line call of the programs with the suffix .CPL is as follows:

Parameter

Description

-fullscreen

The program uses the full screen, i.e. the taskbar is not

 

visible. This function is only active if the parameter –cpl

 

is not used.

-cpl «CPL program»

Selection of the .CPL program

Other parameters

The other parameters depend on the CPL program

 

selected.

Examples:

Call:

Set number of colors to 16 bits

"control panel" –cpl display.cpl –colors 16

Rotate screen orientation 90°

"control panel" –cpl display.cpl –rotate 90

Set backlight to 60%

"control panel" –cpl display.cpl –back 60

Note:

The supported command line parameters should be taken from the corresponding CPL program (e.g. Display). The "control panel" entry must always be placed in inverted commas!

4.1.2XV100

The individual programs of the Control Panel can be called directly with the relevant command line parameters.

Examples:

Call:

Set number of colors to 16 bits

display.exe -colors 16

Rotate screen orientation 90°

display.exe -rotate 90

Set backlight to 60%

display.exe -back 60

Note:

The supported command line parameters should be taken from the corresponding CPL program (e.g. Display.exe).

4.2EXPANDING THE CONTROL PANEL

Windows CE 5.0 allows you to add further programs to the Control Panel. This requires an entry to be made in the registry which defines the path on which the additional programs are stored.

Example:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Micro Innovation\UserCpl] "userCplDir"="\\StorageCard\\cpl"

After this entry is added to the registry, all *.exe files in the directory \StorageCard\cpl are also displayed in the Control Panel.
