Mouse OS Design Development (Windows CE 5.0)
The mouse is an optional user-input device, and many Windows CE–based devices rely on stylus input rather than mouse input to enhance portability. Applications, however, process stylus events as a click of the left mouse button, so adding support for mouse input to your OS design can provide broader capabilities through the support of the additional buttons and mouse wheel.
OS Design Information
The following table shows operating system design information for Mouse functionality.
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Dependencies | None. |
| Hardware considerations | Requires a mouse. |
Modules and Components
The following table shows the components and modules that implement Mouse functionality.
| Item | Module | Components |
|---|---|---|
| Mouse | gwes | iconcmn, icon, iconcurs, mcursor, mcursor8 |
Mouse Implementation Considerations
You can include Mouse functionality in your OS design by adding the appropriate Catalog item.
The following table shows the Sysgen variable that enables Mouse functionality.
| Sysgen variable | Description |
|---|---|
| SYSGEN_CURSOR | When this variable is set, Mouse functionality is included in the OS design.
When this variable is not set, Mouse functionality is excluded from the OS design. |
