Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I think that what you probably want to do is build your own browser that has
the possibility to maximize. You can start with IESample or IESimple and
make suitable modifications to do that. At that point, yes, you can't exit
using any user-controlled operation, but JavaScript can close the window
causing exit (at which point you'd presumably reenable the task bar and
start menu). We do this for our customers, so that they can build Web-based
applications on locked devices but, if they want, they can provide a page
where the user can enter some administrator password and trigger a script to
exit. Trying to do this, which is clearly not an intended scenario for the
prebuild browsers, with the built-in stuff, if pretty hopeless.

The following has been reported to me via a third party application writer
using our Windows CE 5.0 based hardware;

Our application uses JavaScript in three areas as follows;

The OnLoad event is use to place the cursor in the correct entry field
i.e. onload=document.dataform.thisitem.focus();

The OnClick event is used to navigate to the correct page i.e.
onclick=window.location.href='pagename'

The OnKeyDown event is used to detect the use of the Enter key (KCode 13)
and check that required fields contain data before proceeding.



If the OS is built with Pocket IE it makes intelligent use of the screen
space but did not interpret any of the JavaScript.

If the OS is built with IE6, this did interpret JavaScript but makes
inefficient use of the screen space particularly the width as it allows
for a vertical scroll bar.

Unfortunately if you use the IE options to hide the toolbars, the screen
will maximize but there appears to be no way to then exit/close the
browser. The usual Ctrl_O and Ctrl_W do nothing.
