SUMMARY
=======
This article provides a list of controls, properties, methods, and events not
supported in applications made with the Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0
(VBCE).
MORE INFORMATION
================
The Toolbox in the Visual Basic integrated design environment (IDE) displays the
intrinsic controls built into Visual Basic and those added to individual
projects.
Some of the intrinsic controls are not supported in VBCE applications, but,
because VBCE is an add-in, they cannot be removed from the Toolbox.
The following intrinsic controls are usable in VBCE projects without any other
action by the developer:
- CheckBox
- ComboBox
- CommandButton
- Frame
- Label
- Line
- ListBox
- OptionButton
- Scrollbars (Horizontal and Vertical)
- Shape
- TextBox
- Timer
The following intrinsic controls in the default Toolbox are not directly
supported by the Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic (VBCE alternatives are
listed, where applicable):
Regular VB control CE equivalent
----------------------------------------
Data*
Directory List Box CE File control
Drive List Box CE File control
File List Box CE File control
Image CE Image
OLE Container none
PictureBox CE PictureBox
The following controls have Windows CE versions that can be added to VBCE
projects:
Regular VB control CE equivalent
----------------------------------------
Grid CE Grid
MSComm32 CE Comm
TabStrip CE TabStrip
TreeView CE TreeView
Winsock CE WinSock
Notes
-----
There is no VBCE control equivalent to the Data control. However, Microsoft has
released the ActiveX Data Object SDK for Windows CE (ADOCE) which provides
advanced database programmability for VBCE developers. You can download ADOCE
from the Microsoft Download Center:
Msadoce2.exe
For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base:

General Notes
-------------
ActiveX Controls must added to the project using the Components dialog box.
Attempting to add a control to a form not supported in Windows CE will generate
an error message.
Additionally, for the intrinsic controls that are supported in VBCE, there are
some properties and methods that are not supported.
The following table summarizes unsupported properties, methods, and events in
Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic:
