Intermec CK3 working with AWI via Citrix XenApp

Intermec CK3 would not work with Internet Browser applications, eg, AWI, out of the box. For example, open Internet Explorer and go to www.google.com. Place the cursor in the search box and barcode something in. What we want is for the searching to execute immediately without further user input. What happened is that the cursor remained at the end of the search string and nothing happened. The user must hit enter for the search to start. This same behaviour was occuring with AWI.

Intermec CK3 software versions determined by using Internet Explorer on: \windows\itcbrowser.htm which displays something like the following:
CK3 Windows Mobile v3.45.26.0031 Premium
CK3_WM6 SSPB_6.20.33.0477

Lots of Postamble values were attempted via Intermec Settings > Data Collection > Internal Scanner > Symbology Options > Postamble, eg, \r, \n, \r\n, \n\r, \x09, \x0A, \x0D, \x0A\x0D, were attempted.

Was able to get Postamble with Internet Explorer to work by following these two blogs:

http://community.intermec.com/t5/General-Development-Developer/How-to-use-VWconfig-ini/td-p/1691


Create vwconfig.ini file using a hex editor like UltraEdit on a PC. Wrote vwconfig.ini onto a micro SD card, mounted the SD card into the CK3, and copied the file into \Windows. Reboot.


Contents of vwconfig.ini:

[VWConfig]
DumpConfig="1"

[IE]
WindowName="Internet Explorer"

;;;Use CLIP for all chars 0-127; default above 128
GlobalXmitMethod="CLIP"
GlobalXmitType="Table"

;;;exceptions to the above for TAB and CR
RegSeq="0x09 POST PLAIN 0X09 0X00 0x0000"
RegSeq="0x0D POST PLAIN 0X0D 0X00 0x0000"

[DEFAULT_APPLICATION]
WindowName="(NULL)"

;;;;;;Replace CR & TAB with CR & TAB, but with EVENT
RegSeq="0x000D POST_CHAR PLAIN 0x0D 0x1C 0x00000000"
RegSeq="0x0009 POST_CHAR PLAIN 0x09 0x0f 0xff000000"



Notes:


 +Citrix Receiver 11.5 used as Citrix client on CK3


 +No changes to Internet Explorer running on the CK3


 +Citrix XenApp launch definition contains AWI URL ending with &DisplayMode=2.


 +Postamble=\r


 +Don't use Windows Notes on the CK3. Hard to tell what file type it creates.


 +Could not download attachments from gmail to the CK3. Received message that file could not be saved to cache, but had no mechanism for saving attachment elsewhere on the device.
