The state of a user notification from the time the user is notified until the user handles the

ically on top of the Z order and is distinguished by the color of its title bar.

device with a Microsoft Windows-based host PC. ActiveSync can use RS-232,

AutoCAB
The AutoCAB program allows the PDA to automatically reinstall selected applications
when the terminal is cold reset. When the Falcon is reset, the AutoCAB program runs auto-
matically and determines if it is a warm or cold reset.
AutoCE
The AutoCE program allows the user to create a list of applications to run when the PDA is
reset. Each application may be designated to run only on a cold reset, or on both warm
and cold resets. The applications run sequentially, allowing interdependencies to be han-
dled.
calibration
You might need to recalibrate the touch screen. One way to know that the touch screen
needs to be recalibrated is that you will notice that when you attempt to select one item
with the stylus, another item is erroneously selected.
command band
A rebar control with a fixed band at the top that contains a toolbar with a Close (X) button,
an OK button, and optionally a Help (?) button in the upper right corner.
command bar
A control window that can contain buttons, combo boxes, and menu bars. Windows CE–
based applications can use a command bar rather than a separate menubar and toolbar to
efficiently use available screen space.
