The Microsoft Windows CE operating environment has certain standards that graphical applications are expected to conform to. Windows, menus, and controls are supposed to look and behave in predictable ways from application to application.
This chapter describes some of the guidelines you should follow when designing windows and applications, but a full discussion is beyond the scope of this book. Information about design guidelines for Windows CE platforms is available on the Microsoft Web site. See also Appendix D, “Designing Applications for Windows CE Platforms.”
