Windows CE - Introduction to using Qt

Running the application

In order to run the application, it needs to be deployed on the Windows CE/Mobile device you want to test it for. This can either be done manually or automated using VS2005.

To do it manually, simply copy the executable, the Qt .dll files needed for the application to run, and the C-runtime library into a folder on the device, and then click on the executable to start the program. You can either use the Explorer found in ActiveSync or the Remote File Viewer found in VS2005 to do this.

VS2005 can do this step automatically for you as well. If you have built the project inside VS2005, simply select Deploy and then Debug to deploy and then run the application. You can change the device type by changing the Target Device specified in the VS2005 toolbar.

Further information on deploying Qt applications for Windows can be found in the deployment document.
