Q:

Am I missing some controls for windows mobile?

I'm a C# developer taking my first steps in Windows Mobile development. I've installed Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and the Windows mobile 6 Pro and Standard SDK's. Now I am trying to create a simple winforms application.
The problem is that when I set the Target Platform to Windows Mobile Standard, I seem to be missing a lot of controls. For example, there is a checkbox, but there isn't even a simple button (take a look at this screenshot ). When I switch to Windows Mobile 6 Professional, I get all kinds of controls.
What could be the problem? I've already tried to repair the WM 6 standard SDK, but that did not help.
Thanks,
Adrian

A:

That's correct.  Windows Mobile Standard, also known as Smartphone, doesn't have a touchscreen.  All interaction is done through the two menu action buttons.  Because of this many controls, like buttons, don't make sense and are therefore filtered from the toolbox.
