Platform Notes

Windows Mobile/CE

Windows Mobile/CE shortcut (.lnk) files launch the Enterprise Browser runtime with startup options that override EB's default settings. A text editor such as Notepad on Windows CE can be used to create shortcuts. It's also possible to use the File menu in Platform Builder (New Project or File, Text File type). Edit the file for command line parameters and save it to \Windows\Start Menu on Windows Mobile, or \Windows\Programs for Windows CE. This will put the shortcut at the top level in the Start Menu.

The Enterprise Browser installation path on Windows Mobile/CE devices:
\Program Files\Enterprise Browser

The path to the executable:
\Program Files\Enterprise Browser\EnterpriseBrowser.exe

The shortcut file supports the following command line parameters:

/C: specifies the location of the configuration file for the Enterprise Browser application. This will override all default configuration settings. If the full file name contains spaces, surround URL with single or double quotes:

    /C:file://\application\config.xml
    /C:'file://\Program Files\application\Config.xml'
    /C:"file://\Program Files\My Application\config.xml"

/S: specifies the start page of the Enterprise Browser application. Other configuration parameters will be used from the default Config.xml file. If the full file name contains spaces, surround URL with single or double quotes:

    /S:"file://\HTML\index.html"
    /S:"file://\RE App\index.html"
    /S:"file://\Program Files\MyApp\index.html"
    /S:"http://www.google.com"

If neither the /S nor /C parameters are specified in the shortcut file, the default values for the location of the configuration file and the start page of the Enterprise Browser application will be used.

Note: URLs that contain query string parameters (?name=value) cannot be used within a shortcut on Windows Mobile/CE.

The format in the .lnk file is:


<line-length>#<runtime-exe> <command-line-parameter> <app-folder>

For example, to change the startup page in the .lnk file to a local HTML file:


70#"\Program Files\Enterprise Browser\EnterpriseBrowser.exe" /S:file://\helloscan.html

Android

In devices running Android, shortcut files are created and stored in an OS-manageable location that is not exposed to the end-user.
