Patrick,
Thanks for your help.
I got the mobile part of it working on IE, but it still does not set the
intial focus in the Personal Internet Explorer (Windows CE 3.0.11171(Build
11178))
Here is what I'm trying to do. (Maybe you or someone reading this will have
experience in this area:) This is a basic order fulfillment app, and the
windows CE Device has a barcode scanner attached to it.
1. Present next component for an order via PIE (talking to a WebServer,
hosted outside the CE Device)
2. User scans location (verify that he's pulling from the right
location--not necessarily server side)
3. User scans Part (verify that he's pulling the right part number--not
necessarily server side)
4. Enter key (or really--the carriage return suffix of the barcode scanner)
submits the form.
5. Webserver logic calls a stored procedure (history, status update,
inventory balance update) for that specific requirement
6. System presents next component for order (server evaluates and then
passes that information back to the device)
7. repeat's this process until done.
There may be multiple people working on the same order
One user may pull 300+ components in a shift
there may be 20+ users pulling parts (potentially for the same order) at any
given time.
Due to other complications, It is essential that:
1. The first field has focus
2. Enter will submit the form
3. I can use the database to dynamically present the next component for the
next order (No batch assigning parts to a device).
(Note: The scanners are also used in other processes which makes changing
preamble & suffix impossible)
Anyone know if this is possible with the new MobileASP, or Must I build a
traditional client/server app (device/listening device).
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
