Hello...we are migrating our vb.net win forms app to the
pocketpc. One problem I am running into is that I cannot
modify many properties of the datagrid. For example, the
data grid's property sheet shows that I can change the
BackColor of the grid...but no matter what color I change
it to...when the app runs the grid appears with the
default color scheme. Also...the data grid table styles
does not seem to have as many properties as the regular
(non-compact) framework. I can't turn off the RowHeaders
for example. Am I just missing something...or does this
truly not exist for .Net CF ???

thanks

Some properties of the DataGrid component are not implemented.
You are not missing anything. You really can't do what you want to do.

Take a look at the Post "Grid" , posted on 11/09/2003 at 07:37 by Arnaldo
Fuziy, in this newsgroup. I think it could help you.

dw,
You are not missing anything. Remember it is 'Compact(ed)' Framework. Many
(un)important properties were the casualities of that 'Comapctness'. In the
regular help docs, as I found late, it is mentioned whether a property or
method is available in Compact Framework.
ThanQ...

Thanks...I was afraid of that. I'll check out the docs
to make sure that I know what is "missing" next time.
