Preface
This guide clearly and concisely sets out the information developers need to know to get started with the
CASIO DT-X7 series development. The best methods of connecting to your development system are
covered and step by step instructions for installing and testing the CASIO BDKs are included.
The purpose of this guide is to get you to the point where you can start development; you should refer to
the library manuals for detailed information on the specific APIs.
Important Note
Since the DT-X7 does not have a touch panel display, it is not possible to click on a tab or icon on the
screen. However, you can change the focus using the F3 key (similar to Tab key on PC’s keyboard) or
the F2 key (similar to Shift+Tab keys on PC’s keyboard).
The Mouse Emulator preinstalled in the DT-X7 series can be invoked by pressing the Fn key and then 4
key to make the mouse pointer appear in the center of the screen. It can be freely moved in any direction
on the screen you wish using one of the 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9 numeric keys. The 5 key is the same as
left-clicking the PC’s mouse. For details, see "Using the mouse cursor" on page E-28 of DT-X7 Series
User’s Guide.
In this reference manual, all explanations assume that the preinstalled Mouse Emulator is in the invoked
state.

3. Installing BDK to PC
3.1 Application Development
This chapter explains about what you need to set up for the development environment before starting
your application development.
1. Installing Development Platform
Install Microsoft’s development platform which supports eMbedded Visual C++, Visual Studio
2008, Visual Studio 2005, and Visual Studio .NET 2003. For detail, refer to Chapter 2.3 "Software
Required".
2. Installing CASIO BDK
Install Casio’s BDK and various libraries if necessary. For installation method, refer to Chapter 3.2
"Installing CASIO BDK Files".
3. Connecting DT-X7 to PC (via ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center)
Connect the DT-X7 to PC via Microsoft’s ActiveSync (for Windows XP or any other OS before
Windows XP) or via Windows Mobile Device Center (for Windows Vista or later). For connection
method, refer to Chapter 5 "Connecting the DT-X7 to PC".
4. Setting Up the Development Environment
Copy all necessary CASIO libraries to the DT-X7.
For detail, refer to Chapter 6 "Setting Up the Development Environment".
5. Installing the Device Emulator
Install the Device Emulator for the DT-X7. For installation method, refer to Chapter 7 "Device
Emulator". If not necessary to install, go to "6. Application Development" below.
6. Application Development
Now, the application development environment is set up and your development with the
development platform can be started. After application is developed, transfer it to the Device
Emulator or an actual terminal of the DT-X7 via ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center for
check on the operability. For application development method and transferring your application,
refer to Chapters 8 "eMbedded Visual C++" and Chapter 9 "Visual Studio".

20
3.2 Installing CASIO BDK Files
Download the CASIO DT-X7 BDK installation CD image file from the following site and write it to a
CD-ROM media.
http://www2.casio.co.jp/system_en/pa/PADealer/
(The site requires your user name and password. Enter your user name and password as issued by CASIO.)
Notes:
•If you had already installed DT-X7 BDK Ver. 1.xx, be sure to uninstall it before installing Ver. 2.xx.
•If any file of the DT-X7 BBDK Ver. 1.xx remains in the following folders after uninstalling, delete it
manually.
C:\Program Files\CASIO\MBSYS
C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce500
•If your PC runs in the Windows Vista or later OS, first you must disable the User Account Control
("UAC") by following the process below before installing the CASIO BDK Files.
