Software Development Kit (SDK)
The Penbex OS that is the core of the Z-2050 features a unique modular system architecture that allows you to develop and add your own
custom-built applications to get the most out of the device.
It features a user-intuitive and easy-to-use UI, which also features a
Chinese-English handwriting recognition system, making it accessible
to a wide range of users.
The Z-2050 comes with a Software Development Kit (SDK) which works
in conjunction with the Penbex OS. It is a powerful and versatile software package that allows you to customize the Z-2050 to meet your
specific needs.
The simplicity of its system is the key, eliminating a steep learning
curve and allowing you to pick up and develop your own applications
within a short space of time.
Refer to the SDK Reference Manual for more detailed information.
Below are listed the main features and requirements of this powerful
development kit.
Software Requirements:
• Microsoft VC 6.0 Environment
• ANSI C Syntax
• Penbex OS Architecture
• Penbex Objects
Documents
• Documents for APIs, objects' behavior, messages.
• Developing/Debugging procedures for external applications.
Emulator
• Workspace for IDE environment running on VC 6.0
• Header files for IDE environment running on VC 6.0
• OS library for IDE environment running on VC 6.0
Localization Support
• Supported languages: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese,
English, Spanish and German
• Input: offers PinYin input for simplified Chinese
• Offers Windows-like message boxes to display system messages.
Software Development Kit (SDK) - 23
Page 28
Development Features of the SDK
The SDK allows you to use both UI and GUI objects to build new applications that can be used with the Z-2050. UI (User Interface) objects
are the simple building blocks of the system and include:
• Label
•Button
•List
• Table
• Toolbar
• Whiteboard
• Progress Bar
• Menu Bar
• Keyboard
• Message Box
• Scroll Bar
• Combo Box
•Tree
• Single-Line Editor
• Multiple-Line Editor
• Field
GUI objects are more complex applications and include:
• SysGetDate() (to get the system date)
• SysGetTime() (to get the system time)
• GetFilename() (to get the file name)
• SysEngKB() (to use the system keyboard)
As mentioned above, creation of applications using the SDK, UI and
GUI objects is explained in much more detail in the SDK Reference
Manual.
