Composite User Controls in PPC ?

[Softwaremaker]

Hello,

I was juz wondering if there is any way we can create Composite User
Controls in .NET Compact Framework ?

I dont mean Custom Controls...what I want is a composite control that
comprises of 4 small textboxes like an IP Address Box ?

Also I notice that there is no "Windows Control Library" in my Smart Devices
Application Wizard when I specified I wanted a Smart Device Extensions
Application. Only available options were Windows Application, Class Library
and Non-Graphical Application.

At this link,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ry/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/anch_dotNetCompfx.asp,
there is a Windows Control Library option for the Smart Device Extensions.

I am using VS.NET 2003 PRO...is that the reason why ?

Thank you very much

A composite control *is* a custom control - anything not included in Studio
is considered custom. You will have to manually roll it like the article
describes as there is no designer support for custom controls yet.

To add to Chris's response the correct project type to choose in the wizard
is "Class Library"

The Custom Control example for the compact framework is written in C++, can
these custom controls also be written in VB and then copied into the
SmartDevice project?

Yes, you can develop custom control from VB and use them in SmartDevice
project.
Thanks
