    Question Using a Smart Device Application

    Does anyone know how to access different font and control formatting options in the smart device application format?

    I am using VB.NET but the emulator does not allow you to display differerent BackColors, and suports only one default font - even if others are selected in the design stage????

    Is this an emulator problem, or somethig wrong with the smart device application platform? If i were to ru nmy code on a pocket pc as opposed to the emulator does anyone know if the case would be the same?

    Many of the control formatting features are available during design time for the CF, but are not actually supported by the CF. This is particularly annoying.

    The first thing to do is to check the documentation for the particular feature you are trying to use. If it does not say that it is suppoted by the Compact Framework, then it won't do anything regardless of how you set it. I have yet to encounter an error in the documentation as to what is and is not supported.
