Intrinsic Controls

The Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0 supports several intrinsic controls you can use when creating the user interface for your application. Intrinsic controls are contained inside the run-time forms package, so they are always included in the toolbox.

Intrinsic control read-only properties or properties that are assigned illegal values are not checked during compilation. All run-time properties with illegal values raise the error message 501: Illegal Assignment.

All intrinsic controls have the type IntrinsicPVB_Controls. For example, TypeName (Command1) returns “IntrinsicPVB_Controls” instead of “CommandButton”.

The following table shows the intrinsic controls available in the Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0.

CheckBox Control Line Control Shape Control
ComboBox Control ListBox Control TextBox Control
CommandButton Control Menu Control Timer Control
Frame Control OptionButton Control  
Label Control Scrollbar Control
