Sample Application

SFShell-PPC is a Satellite Forms plug-in extension that enables you to shell out to other applications/documents/images/websites on PocketPC devices. You can use it for various purposes including to:

• launch another application, such as Calc
• display a document, such as a Pocket Word or Pocket Excel file
• display an image, such as a JPG file, in Internet Explorer
• display a website or local html page in Internet Explorer

When the other app/document/image/website is launched, your SatForms application is not closed. It is still running in the background. When the other app is closed, your app returns to the foreground, right where the user left off.

SFShell-PPC functions basically like the SatForms internal LaunchApp button action, with the important distinction that you can supply the name of the app/document/image/website dynamically at runtime, instead of being forced to hardcode it at design time.
