Field Summary

static int	ACTIVATE This indicates that the window is now active.
static int	APP_TO_FRONT This is a request from the VM for the application to bring itself to the front - displaying whatever it considers to be the current active window.
static int	CLOSE This event is generated when either the close button for the window is pressed OR the system wants to close your application.
Object	data /** In the case of a DATA_DROPPED event this will hold data that has been dropped into the window.
static int	DATA_DROPPED This event occurs when the user drops data picked up from another application or from the OS shell.
static int	DEACTIVATE This indicates that the window is no longer active.
static int	FLAG_CLOSE_BY_USER This bit is used as a flag to mApp.closeMobileApp() if the system knows for sure that the CLOSE event was generated by the user pressing one of the system close buttons.
static int	HIBERNATE This indicates that the system (WinCE) wishes a Window to minimize its memory footprint.
int	x In the case of a DATA_DROPPED event this will be the x-coordinate where the data was dropped.
int	y In the case of a DATA_DROPPED event this will be the y-coordinate where the data was dropped.

Field Detail

CLOSE

public static final int CLOSE

This event is generated when either the close button for the window is pressed OR the system wants to close your application. It is not possible to distinguish between the two - however a Close message sent by the system will always be directed to the mApp for your application. For mobile applications it is best to have a separate Exit button or function to allow the user to explicitly close the application, and then assume that any CLOSE message would therefore come from the system. Note that for WinCE applications it is assumed that the application will save its state somehow, so that the next time it runs it will continue from where it left off.

DEACTIVATE

public static final int DEACTIVATE

This indicates that the window is no longer active.

Constant Field Values

HIBERNATE

public static final int HIBERNATE

This indicates that the system (WinCE) wishes a Window to minimize its memory footprint. This is usually called when you switch to a different application, AND may be called several times. It may be directed to any open window of your application.

APP_TO_FRONT

public static final int APP_TO_FRONT

This is a request from the VM for the application to bring itself to the front - displaying whatever it considers to be the current active window.

FLAG_CLOSE_BY_USER

public static final int FLAG_CLOSE_BY_USER

This bit is used as a flag to mApp.closeMobileApp() if the system knows for sure that the CLOSE event was generated by the user pressing one of the system close buttons. This currently only applies to the 'OK' button on WinCE. It is not possible to tell the difference between a close generated by the 'X' button or by the system on WinCE.

Constant Field Values

DATA_DROPPED

public static final int DATA_DROPPED

This event occurs when the user drops data picked up from another application or from the OS shell. The data picked up is placed in the data member. That member will be either:

• A String - representing a single dropped file.
• An Array of Strings - each representing a single dropped file.
• Some other type of application specific data.

Constant Field Values

x

public int x

In the case of a DATA_DROPPED event this will be the x-coordinate where the data was dropped.

y

public int y

In the case of a DATA_DROPPED event this will be the y-coordinate where the data was dropped.

data

public Object data

/** In the case of a DATA_DROPPED event this will hold data that has been dropped into the window. This will be either:

• A String - representing a single dropped file.
