Build-A-Board Run-Time Target: Windows

Notes on Run-Time versions available as Products

The installable / packaged as a product versions include the original My-T-Soft for Windows (My-T-Soft Professional) and also My-T-Soft Basic. These can be installed & licensed on Windows as complete self-contained components, and may be preferable to some customers.

My-T-Soft for Windows (My-T-Soft Professional) has supported Build-A-Board run-time layouts since version 1.76 in 2002. This is a full-featured run-time target, and provides additional options beyond just running custom boards, including logon options, etc. For details and help on this run-time target, see My-T-Soft for product information and My-T-Soft for Windows User Guide for product help and documentation.

My-T-Soft Basic was created as an installable product that provides full support for custom boards, but no legacy options. Because per device licensing is included, for some customers this is the preferred option when deploying custom boards in small quantities. For details and help on this run-time target, see My-T-Soft Basic for product information and My-T-Soft Basic User Guide for product help and documentation.

The following details are for the My-T-Soft options included with Build-A-Board - these are meant for Platform licensing and customer controlled deployments.

MYTSOFT.EXE

This is the My-T-Soft executable that reads the KEYBOARD.KBF layout (or multiple file layouts), and displays the window to the user. If a shortcut is used, separate KBF files may be referenced via the command line (e.g. MYTSOFT.EXE NUM.KBF will run My-T-Soft with the NUM.KBF layout). The opening screen position is controlled by Build-A-Board builder. A right-click will open a menu with Minimize, Save Position, or Close. If a touchscreen or pen is in use without right-click ability (see IMG's TouchRight Utilities!), dragging the window to a position where any part of the window is off-screen will also open the menu.

MYTSOFT may be passed a command line parameter to open a specific keyboard layout (????????.KBF file).
