OpenFileDialog on WinCE (320x240)

[Guest]

Hi, I'm developing an application that have to run on Windows CE devices with
display size 320x240.

What happens with OpenFileDialog ? In the emulator the OpenFileDialog width
is
bigger than 320 so it is impossible to use because OK and Cancel button are
outside the screen.

What can I do ? I've to create my own OpenFileDialog window ?

Thank you in advance.

Have you tried it on your device? The emulator is only a 4.1 and in any case
you should be testing things on the device or use the SDK of your device's
provider.

Back to your question, on our unit it does indeed exceed the screen width
making it *almost* unusable. However, I believe the control is just a thin
wrapper for the underlying native control so, in theory, you can modify the
native control for your device and the sizing changes should ripple through.

I can't test on a device because actually I haven't it. I don't know if the
SDK in the device manage this situation or not.

Do you know how can I modify the native control to satisfy my needed, i.e.
reduce its width ?

Thank you.

Never had to do it so unfortunately no. I would start looking in the
PlatformBuilder documentation or ask the question in the relevant ng (if
someone in this ng has done it I am sure they will jump in):
microsoft.public.windowsce.platbuilder
