Using Remote Tools

The Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0 provides several remote tools to assist you in performing basic programming tasks on Windows CE-based devices. With the help of a specially designed Program Manager, which connects your desktop computer to a remote device, you can use the remote tools to modify device registries, monitor window message processing, search for memory leaks, and capture images from a remote device.

The following table shows each of the remote tools included in the toolkit and describes its purpose.
