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 (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. Update indicates the control was updated with
the ActiveX Control Pack):

- 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. ADOCE can be downloaded from the following location:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsce/downloads/pccompanions/adosdk.asp

General Notes
ActiveX Controls must be registered in the desired environment with the
Control Manager and 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
