SIP in all Forms? & GUI standards

[Guest]

Hi,
I am developing a pocket pc application using VB.Net.

In every form, I have used textboxes. So is it necessary to add the
Inputpanel in all the forms? Or I have to use the inputpanel created in one
of the forms, in all other forms? Which is the standard way?

I wish to have a border around all my controls in the form. How can I do
that? Also I wish to draw a Line(Separator) to give emphasis to the heading.

Could you please tell me a site which provides the standards we have to
follow, while creating GUI for compact devices?

Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Hari

Hari,

You can find the design standards that your app has to meet to be certified

Yes, just add an inputpanel to all forms that require the SIP. Remember you
will
also need a mainmenu -or- a toolbar on these forms as well in order for the
SIP to be
visible.

To draw a line on your form, add a label to the form and set the label's
text
to ________________.
