Creating new user defined component (CF 1.0)

[Guest]

Hi there,

I desperately search for an example or guideline to develop a new user
defined component for the CF.

For Windows applications I can open the "Windows Control Library" icon in
Visual Studio 2003.

What is the way to create a control for Smart Device Apps?

Hope you know a really simple example - maybe a Button control enhanced by a
Tag Property - not much more to kick me off.

Thanx for help
Klaus

CF v2.0 via VS2005 offers this out of the box.

For CF v1.0 you have to inherit from Control and do all the work (or for the
simple example you mention, inherit from Button and just add a Tag
property). There are limitations with VB and design support.

Some links are here (look under 1. Input Methods the 3 links):
