UltraLite User's Guide
  Developing Applications for Windows CE

Introduction

This section contains instructions pertaining to building UltraLite applications for use under Microsoft Windows CE.

For a list of supported host platforms and development tools for Windows CE development, and for a list of supported target Windows CE platforms, see Supported platforms for C/C++ applications.

You can test your applications under an emulator on most Windows CE target platforms.

You can download eMbedded Visual C++ from the Microsoft Developer Network at http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/downloads/emvt30.asp.

A first application 

A sample eMbedded Visual C++ 3.0 project is provided in the Samples\UltraLite\CEStarter directory under your SQL Anywhere directory. The workspace file is Samples\UltraLite\CEStarter\ul_wceapplication.vcw.

When preparing to use eMbedded Visual C++ for UltraLite applications, you should make the following changes to the project settings. The CEStarter application has these changes made.

• Compiler settings:

  • Add $(ASANY8)\h to the include path.

  • Define appropriate compiler directives. For example, the UNDER_CE macro should be defined for eMbedded Visual C++ projects.

• Linker settings:

  • Add "$(ASANY8)\ultralite\ce\processor\lib\ulrt.lib"

    where processor is the target processor for your application.

  • Add winsock.lib.

• The .sqc file (embedded SQL applications):

  • Add ul_database.sqc and ul_database.cpp to the project

  • Add the following custom build step for the .sqc file:

    "$(ASANY8)\win32\sqlpp" -q -c "dsn=UltraLite 9.0 Sample" $(InputPath) ul_database.cpp

  • Set the output file to ul_database.cpp.

  • Disable the use of precompiled headers for ul_database.cpp.
