Internet Explorer Embedded is a new browser for Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3. In addition to supporting all the features of the previous version of Internet Explorer 6 for Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2, the browser now includes support for Adobe Flash Lite, and a tiling engine with the following new features:

  • Smooth panning and zooming
  • Text that scales with zooming
  • Better performance with hardware acceleration for graphics
  • User interface customization with Silverlight for Windows Embedded 
  • Support for touch gestures

Select Internet Explorer Embedded when you are building a run-time image that will provide full Internet access, such as an Internet appliance or an interactive television that offers browsing capabilities.

You can use the Internet Explorer COM interfaces to build a custom browser or to add browser controls to an application. Or, you can use the sample sets of Internet Explorer container application source files (IESample.* or IESample_EXR.*) to create a browser shell and user interface designed specifically for your device. The browser host supports pointing devices and 5-key navigational systems in addition to keyboard and touch screen input.

The browser can render documents that contain HTML, Dynamic HTML (DHTML), and CSS data formats. XML support is available if the Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) parser is included in the OS design. As a scripting host, Internet Explorer Embedded supports JScript 5.6 and Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition, Microsoft VBScript 5.6 when these Catalog items are included in an OS design.

To add Internet Explorer Embedded to your OS, see Internet Client Services Catalog Items.
