PanelView Plus CE SDK
Overview The PanelView Plus CE SDK provides developers with access to an
extensive set of functions that are specific to the PanelView Plus CE
hardware and extend the standard Windows CE API. These functions,
like the standard Windows CE functions, are implemented in the C
language and can be called directly from C or C++ programs.
Version Management Each release of the PanelView Plus CE SDK and the operating system
has a version number. The version number is in the form of xx.yy.zzz
where xx is the major release, yy is the minor release and zzz is the
build number.
The installed SDK is named PVPlusCE SDK for CE 4.1. The SDK
version number is presented in the Support Info that is viewable in
Control Panel Add/Remove Program. The operating system version is
available in System Properties in the Control Panel.
It is important that the SDK is both current and aligned with the
operating system. The policy for ensuring compatibility relies on the
major release number: A major release of the SDK supports all
versions of the operating system that have the same major release
number. For example, SDK version 02.00.020 is compatible with
operating system version 02.yy.zzz since both are at major release
number 02.
ATTENTION
The use of undocumented functions and features is strongly
discouraged.
TIP
A new SDK is not released with every release of the platform
binary.
