@par Description

This STemWin simulation project allows you to compile the same C source on your
Windows
PC using a native (typically Microsoft) compiler and create an executable for your
own
application. Doing so allows the following:
- Design of the user interface on your PC (no hardware required!).
- Debugging of the user interface program.
- Creation of demos of your application in windows executable file .

The STemWin simulation requires Microsoft Visual C++ (version 6.00 or higher) and
the
integrated development environment (IDE) which comes with it. You will see a
simulation
of your LCD on your PC screen, which has the same resolution in X and Y and can
display
the exact same colors as your LCD once it has been properly configured.
The entire graphic library API and Window Manager API of the simulation are
identical
to those on your target system; all functions will behave in the very same way as
on the target hardware since the simulation uses the same C source code as the
target
system. The difference lies only in the lower level of the software: the display
driver. Instead of using the actual display driver, the PC simulation uses a
simulation
driver which writes into a bitmap. The bitmap is then displayed on your screen
using
a second thread of the simulation. This second thread is invisible to the
application;
it behaves just as if the LCD routines were writing directly to the display.

The STemWinxxx_WIN32.lib file contains a full library which allows you to evaluate
all
available features of STemWin. You will not be able to view the source code of
STemWin or
the simulation, but you will still be able to become familiar with what STemWin can
do.

The project allows also to run the different Segger samples that can be downloaded
from here: http://www.segger.com/emwin-samples.html
To do this, user has only to replace the file "MainTask.c" into the project
workspace
by the downloaded one.

@par Software environment

- This Simulation project runs on VS Express for Desktop on windows platform
- This project has been tested with Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 for
Windows Desktop on Windows 7

@par Keywords

STemWin, Simulation, Microsoft Visual C++, LCD

@par How to use it ?

In order to use the simulation project :

- Open the Simulation.vcxproj file
- Rebuild all files
- Start Debugging (F5)
- A "hello world" message will be shown in the Simulation display
- the MainTask.c could be overwritten by user code to run his own code
