On our XT10's & XT15's we currently use a single web based site to run our warehouse operations and it has worked well thus far. We are currently asked to have a second web based site that will be accessed on these same devices, which we can do just fine. Our problem is that if the user is using site 1 and they want to go to site 2 I can have launch keys to start either site but it will open new instances of each, which is bad since each will have to be logged into. So basically in CE we want a way (via vbs, batch, C#, VB, etc...) to create a script/app to launch the site only if it is not currently open, and if it is open then to draw focus to the already opened window.
Note: This task has proven challenging because of the limitations of CE, but I have been able to close processes using the OpenNetCF dll files but when I use this to see the processes in hopes of drawing focus to one, unlike the OS Task manager, it does not show me the name of the window open but rather the name of the EXE that is open, which is not helpful since the 2 sites in question are both browser based then they both show up as iesample.exe
Any help we can get on this is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Good morning campbellre,
Can you please let us know if the « List IExplore Processes - C# demo for Windows CE » addresses your query?
Kind regards,Jacques
I was able to rebuild it by referencing the cs files & I have it working now. I still have a bit of work to adapt it to our needs but it definately allows me to make use of the windows caption as well as draw focus to the identified caption. Thank you so much!
Hi CampbellRE
I think this requires a more dedicated solution.
There are some KIOSK mode Internet Explorer instance methods that could provide what you are asking for. I would suggest connecting with your Regional Help Desk to assist you on this one, since this would need a little bit of 1:1 interaction.

Sorry for the delayed response but I ran into an issue opening the project file and wanted to exhaust all means to open before reporting problems. Hopefully you can see the image below showing the error I get indicating that the platform CE600 is not found. I tried to install the SDK/app at the link below and it gave errors installing the PlatformCE600.msi file. I tried this on 3 seperate PC's, the last of which has a fresh OS install because the previous 2 had both VS2008 & VS2010 installed. I have however opened the Form1.cs file in notepad and with that I think i can get to work. Thank you very much for that.

What errors did you get (installing the .MSI file, that is)? Please read the following: http://community.psion.com/knowledge/w/knowledgebase/1183.aspx
Visual Studio 2010 is NOT meant for Windows CE 6 development.
I have VS2008 installed on all 3 but using the command line instructions you linked I attempted the CE600 msi install again but was met with the same results. Here are the errors I get.
I also have install log file but it is too long to post. I would need to upload it and I do not see that option.

Having Visual Studio 2005 installed (with its service packs) prior to installing Visual Studio 2005 also seems to avoid the problem, from some links that i've read.
