Regardless of which walk-through, the Button control simply doesn't show up
in the toolbox when I create a "C# -> Smart Device -> Smartphone 2003 ->
Device Application (1.0)" project. I'm mainly trying to understand where that
control is and why it doesn't show up automatically for you as it does for
me. As a reminer, I am using VS.NET 2005 release edition (all version
information included below...)

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727

Installed Edition: Professional

Microsoft Visual C# 2005 77626-009-0000007-41559
Microsoft Visual C# 2005

Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 77626-009-0000007-41559

Hi Alex,

[quoted text, click to view]

This really matters, it appears that walkthrough is targeting at a
different platform (non-Smartphone 2003).

Based on my experience, the Compact Framework1.1(corresponding to the
managed Smartphone 2003 application) doesn't provide a button control to
the Smartphone 2003 application, for the reason of most smartphone devices
do not have the touch screen.

The managed Smartphone 2003 application is unlike the MFC Smartphone 2003
device application, whose button control is provided by the MFC library,
not from Compact Framework1.1.

Thanks for your understanding!

Best regards,

Gary Chang

Hi. You're right that, for example, my Smart Phone 2003 has a little
joy-stick thing but no stylus. Yet, I'm confused about this: If I want to
have an interface where the user can move between "hot-spots" (such as a text
link, a button, etc.) and then press the center button to effectively execute
a "click," how is one supposed to do this in a Smartphone 2003 .NET
application?

Hi Alex,

[quoted text, click to view]

I think there must have a workaround to this scenario, but I am not an
experienced mobile device developer, I am afraid I cannot be of more help
help. I suggest you can ask this in a more appropriate newsgroup or MSDN
forum, you'd get better and quicker help there:

microsoft.public.cs.mobiledevices
microsoft.public.smartphone.developer

Thanks for your understanding!
