Hi.
Can someone tell me , one the first screen of the smartphone 2003 you see your mail, your callender etc. But what controls are they? I don't think they are listview items because their arrangement is not so close to each other. If they were pictureboxes then i don't know of a way to navigate to each on of them. Any ideas?
I don't think I have that particular phone, but I think I have something similar. I believe the picturebox solution is the closer one. I would guess that what you could do is put a series of panels on the screen, with a picturebox control sized to the same size as the panel. The panel would respond to click events, and should allow your navigation, while the picturebox just looked pretty.
Actually, it's not a picturebox :)
Thanks for the idea btw.
....And i'll tell you why it does not work. The panel does not have any key events so i cannot control it. Also when the panel gets the focus the form key event will not respond. The best i could figure out, without having to create custom C++ controls (bummer), is the listview but the icons will not size close to each other (again...bummer) and also...Bummer :mad:
Ok i think i solved it in another way (being the smart person i am :eek: )
you said: when the panel gets the focus the form key event will not respond.Quote:

I don't understand your point.
I can get the key event back if i focus on the form but that's not what i want.
Ok, so what did you do that worked?
I never lost focus on the form. I put some pictureboxes on the screen and i control them with the key events of the form, without loosing the form focus.
