Progress on Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact

Posted by PeterWokke on 17-Mar-2016 09:01

What are the options to develop applications for Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact fitting in the OpenEdge Architecture.

Open Client?

RDP to Windows 2012 terminal server?

Anyone who has an idea to communicate from an Windows CE or Embedded Compact device to OEPAS?

Kind regards,

Peter Wokke

Hello Peter,

I am not familiar with Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact.

However, I believe that a possible approach is to communicate with PASOE in the same way you can do today from Mobile and Web.

You should be able to use HTTP requests: AJAX, REST/AJAX or the JSDO from a JavaScript client.

Depending on the development stack available on the platform, you should also be able to do communicate to PASOE using HTTP from the corresponding languages.

I found a link that seems to confirm that you can use AJAX for developing widgets:

   msdn.microsoft.com/.../dd721906.aspx

I wonder how the samples for the JSDO found at the OE Mobile Demo machine would work with Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact: oemobiledemo.progress.com/.../index.html

Note: At the demo site, you will find some basic examples that only require the XMLHttpRequest object in JavaScript.

Other examples use jQuery and Kendo UI.

I hope this helps.
