38 CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual
Developing Applications for the CK60 Computer
CK60 Computers run applications programmed in Microsoft Embedded
Visual C++. Use this section to understand what you need to:
• Develop a new application for the CK60 Computer.
• Convert an application from an older computer to a CK60 application.
Use the Intermec SDK to develop new applications to run on the CK60
Computer. The Intermec SDK is a library of C++ language functions you
can use to create applications for the CK60 Computer.
See the SDK online user’s manual for help developing your application.
The Intermec CK60 SDK User’s Manual contains hardware and software
requirements, all of the functions that are supported by the CK60 Com-
puter, and how to use these functions.
The SDK is part of the Intermec Developer’s Library (IDL), which is avail-
able on the Intermec Developer’s Library CD or as a download from the
Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.
You need these hardware and software components to use the Intermec
SDK:
• Pentium PC, 400 MHz or higher
• Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2 or later) or Windows XP (Home, Profes-
sional, or Server)
• For native C++ development, Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ version
4.0
• For Windows CD 5.0, eVC 4.0 SP4 is required
• 128 MB RAM (196 MB recommended)
• 360 MB hard drive space for minimum installation (720 MB for com-
plete)
• CD-ROM drive compatible with multimedia PC specification
• VGA or higher-resolution monitor (Super VGA recommended)
• Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device
Converting Older Computer Applications to CK60 Applications
If you have an existing application that you would like to run on the CK60
Computer, you can use the PSK to convert that application. The Intermec
PSK is a set of libraries and tools that you use to convert your existing C
applications into C++ applications for use on the CK60 Computer.
As you migrate from another computer to a CK60 Computer, you need to
consider when converting other computer applications to run on the CK60
Computer, most APIs should work without changes, with the exception
that arrow and tab keys may be reversed from other computers. Keyboard
