copied!<p>This is done all the time with embedded systems. What ever you write IS the OS essentially.</p> <p>Are you developing a hardware embedded device?</p> <p>Some example systems.</p> <p><a href="http://www.devtools.com/pcpp/ide.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">PARADIGM C++ PROFESSIONAL IDE</a>. Borland C++ 4.5 with a bunch of embedded extensions. I've used it.</p> <p>PocketPC and Windows CE could be candidates. </p> <p>There is also <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/default.mspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><strong>Windows Embedded</strong></a>.</p> <hr> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> For clarity below was for an X-Ray Generator where all the code I created was the OS. It was not Win-Embedded and not a pink cell phone.</p> <p>If you have the storage (Compact Flash card, SD card, or just enough memory, etc) create and save all your UI elements as bitmaps. I used GIMP to create the graphic elements and HEXWorkshop to convert them to a binary format the device "understood."</p> <p>In the UI create "hotspots" (regions/rects) that act as buttons, or whatever, that can trigger events that mimic OnClick, etc. Hopefully, that should get you started. Look up Win32 "OwnerDraw" buttons. It will show you a good methodology for this, especially if you end up in Windows Embedded.</p> <p>If you are interested in Linux go here: <a href="http://www.linux.org/dist/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.linux.org/dist/</a> they have some tiny linux distro's made for embedded systems.</p> <p>HTH</p>
