PureBasic for PocketPC???

Post by tkruk »

I wonder if it were possible to make programs for the
PocketPC?

From what I know it's a scaled down NT. I may be wrong but it
seems it would be possible...

This would be great in terms of exposure for Pure Basic especially
since there aren't many choices for coding for PocketPC except
eVC++ (which is a pain)...

I think it would be based on CE with some extensions (which only MS and some others have access to). I doubt they would use NT in the PocketPC, since they do not allow you to buy licenses for anything other than XP and CE for embedded devices nowadays.

A CE version of PB has been asked for before, but I don't know if anything happened.
If you paint your butt blue and glue the hole shut you just themed your ass but lost the functionality.

WinCE and WinNT/2k/XP have a lot in common.
But CE doesn't have the full WinAPI.
If your program uses only API that is available under WinCE, than it would run on WinCE and WinNT/2k/XP.
