Hi,

I was able to find out how to launch a non web app stored in the memory of SB1 from the Shell Launcher.
To do so, I had to write the HTML code below.
Once the program exits, I am get back properly to the Shell Launcher.

Here is the code.

 
      
      
      
      
 
 
      
            window.onload = function() {
                 var hProcess = generic.LaunchProcessNonBlocking('\\"Program Files"\\ScannerDemo\\ScannerDemo.exe', '');
                 var bRetVal = generic.WaitProcess(hProcess, 5);
                 if(bRetVal) {
                      asl.exit(); }
            }

While it is possible to run a native exe on the device, we do not support that for user apps.  This is intended to be a thin client device. The only supported way to write an app for the SB1 is to use HTML/CSS/Javascript using the provided SB1 and RhoElements APIs. 

There is no EMDK support for theses devices, and if you wanted to use .Net, you would probably have a hard time getting compact framework to load (not enough room).  If you have a native app running, you would also have issues with the shell and scanner not working properly (if at all).  While there are a few limited purpose native executables on the device (for staging and device management), this is not intended to be a way for you to write apps for it.

Is there something that you want to do that is not supported by the provided APIs?
