ActiveSync Remote Display

ActiveSync Remote Display allows remote viewing of the WinCE desktop over an ActiveSync Connection. This is very useful for QVGA or other small factor display development, by viewing a larger display size configured in the system registry than the physically connected display.

Remote Display is one of the Windows Mobile Developer Power Toys, which can be download from the MSDN here. We have run Remote Display on both WinCE 4.2 and 5.0 systems.

Setup Steps
  1. Copy Cerdisp2.exe and killproc.exe to the /Windows folder of the device.
    For ADS boards, these files can be found in the Windows Mobile Power Toys install directory: Devices\\wce400\\arm4v

    Note:
    These files will be erased on power-off or reboot since they are not a part of the OS image. You can use the ADSCopy Utility to have it automatically copy the files from the flash disk into the /Windows folder every time the board boots.

  2. Establish an ActiveSync connection with the board.

  3. Run the ActiveSync Remote Display application on your development computer.

    Note:
    For WinCE 5.0 boards, the Remote Display application will issue a warning saying, "The OS or CPU of this device is unknown to this application." If the files in Step 1 are loaded on the board, clicking OK will still bring up the remote desktop view.

    If you get an "Unable to allocate destination buffer" warning from your WinCE board, go into the System Settings in the Control Panel and set more of the system memory for program use and try to open the Remote Display again. The amount of memory set to storage use and program use can be set in the registery, see this forum topic for more information.
