Hi
Keen to get into this, I've installed VS2005, followed by the .net compact framework (version 2) and sdk and also Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone SDK.
I can run forms in the emulator that I've designed, but for some reason, there appear to be lots of controls missing in the IDE.
The controls I have in the toolbox are:
Pointer
BindingSource
Checkbox
Combobox
DataGrid
DateTimePicker
HScrollBar
ImageList
Label
LinkLabel
ListView
MainMenu
MessageQueue
Panel
PictureBox
ProgressBar
SerialPort
TextBox
Timer
TreeView
VScrollBar
WebBrowser.
And that's it. Could someone in perhaps a similar situation please verify that I have all the controls I should? Shouldn't there be stuff like a simple form button, and how come I don't get all the other stuff like FileOpen dialog's?
Remember, this is while developing for Mobile v5 Smartphone - when I picked a Windows CE project, up come a load more controls including those listed above.
They just not available for Smartphone v5 perhaps? Something else I'm missing?
Thanks
edit: update. the controls are there if I create a project for Windows CE 5.0 instead, there's heaps more controls instead of what I mentioned above. And the app runs on my phone, but not in the emulator. When I switch back to the emulator, naturally it barfs on:
Me.Button1 = New System.Windows.Forms.Button
where it's "not supported". Damn.
Should I actually be developing for Windows CE 5.0 instead perhaps for the HTC Wizard ?
