CHAPTER 1
Introduction
The TouchWare™ software for Windows CE .NET™ OEM Developer’s Guide describes the steps necessary to integrate 3M Touch Systems TouchWare™ software into a Microsoft Windows CE .NET™ system build. This kit contains the following items:
1. The TouchWare™ software touch screen driver for Windows CE .NET™ is the
software the system uses to communicate with the touch screen. It provides “mouse emulation” touch screen functionality for applications running under Windows CE .NET™.
2. TouchWare™ software for Windows CE .NET™ adds an applet to the Windows
CE .NET™ control panel. This applet allows the user to calibrate the touch screen and to adjust certain touch screen preferences.
3. The source files for the touch screen control panel are included to allow
modification of the control panel or integration of touch screen functions into an application, as required.
TouchWare™ software for Windows CE .NET™ supports the serial RS-232 controller on the X86 platform only.
To successfully install TouchWare™ software for Windows CE .NET™, you need to install the following components:
1. The drivers for the controller
2. The TouchWare™ software control panel. If you like the way the control panel
looks as delivered, you can use the binary files supplied and concentrate on the drivers only. If you want to change the control panel, you must install both the drivers (using Microsoft Windows CE .NET™ Platform Builder ®) and the TouchWare™ software control panel sources (using Microsoft eMbedded® Visual Tools VC++).
3M Touch Systems Proprietary Information
TouchWare™ Software for Windows CE .NET™ 6
The process involves 5 steps.
1. Copying the appropriate binary files for your controller to the platform.
2. Install touch screen driver DLLs.
3. Install touch screen driver registry settings.
4. (Optional) Modifying the TouchWare™ software control panel using eMbedded Visual C++.
5. Building the program.
What You Need to Know
This document assumes you are familiar with and have the skills necessary to successfully modify, build, and run the Windows CE .NET™ operating system on your target hardware.

CHAPTER 2
Installing TouchWare™ Software for Windows CE .NET™
Step 1: Copy Binary Files to the platform
From the supplied source packet (\x86 directory), copy the files listed below to \WINCE420\PLATFORM\<PLATFORMNAME>\FILES\:
• MTmouse.dll - mouse DDI touch screen driver
• MTTchCmn.dll - common functions
• MtsUtils.dll - control utilities
• MtsLin.dll – linearization function
• MTTchSer.dll - serial touch screen driver
If you are NOT changing the control panel also copy:
• MtsPanel.cpl - control panel applet
Step 2: Install Touch Drivers
Cut and paste the x86\Platform.bib.txt file into the end of your Platform.bib file.

Step 4: (Optional) Setting up the Control Panel
Note: Not available with TouchWare™ Software for Windows CE .NET™ part 19-657
1. Start eMbedded Visual C++.
2. Click on File / Open Workspace and locate MtsPanel.vcw in the folder you created when you installed TouchWare™ software.
3. After changing the control panel skin and rebuilding it, copy MtsPanel.cpl to your platform, \WINCE420\PLATFORM\<PLATFORMNAME>\FILES\.
Step 5: Build
After making the necessary platform modifications, the project may be built as usual. The TouchWare™ software applet should appear on the Windows CE .NET™ control panel. It may be used to calibrate the touch screen and configure touch screen preferences.

APPENDIX A
Frequently Asked Questions
What TouchWare™ software drivers are loaded for the touch screen?
TouchWare™ software loads the following drivers:
• MTmouse.dll – touch screen mouse driver
• MTTchCmn.dll – touch screen common functions
• MTTchSer.dll – touch screen serial port driver
(for RS-232 serial touch screen controller used)
How can I start the TouchWare™ software control panel from my application? Do I need to run the control panel that exposes other applets to the user?
An application may start the TouchWare™ software control panel without running Control.exe (which will show all control panel applets to the user).
The TouchWare™ software control panel may be started programmatically by running Ctlpnl.exe and passing it the name of the TouchWare™ software control panel applet.
Example:
CreateProcess( TEXT(“Ctlpnl.exe”), TEXT(“MtsPanel.cpl”), NULL, NULL, 0, 0, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL );
How can I adjust the double-click properties of TouchWare™ software?
Use the Mouse control panel applet to adjust the double-click properties. Since the touch screen emulates the mouse, this setting controls the double-click sensitivity for the touch screen as well.

How much space do the TouchWare™ software touch screen drivers add to my Windows CE .NET™ image?
Driver Bytes
MTTchCmn.dll 20992 MTTchSer.dll 5632 MtsLin.dll 18944 MtsPanel.cpl 20480 MtsUtils.dll 20992 MTmouse 3584
Altogether, adding these files into your Windows CE .NET™ platform will add 90624 bytes to the image (nk.bin).
