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

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:


 * These properties and events are not supported for the TabStrip, ListView, and TreeView controls.

% These properties and events are not supported for the Toolbar control.
