    Windows Mobile Scroll Wheel & General

    Hi all,

    does anybody know how i can connect my listbox with the scroll wheel on a mobile device. I can't seem to scroll up and down through my list with the scroll wheel.

    Other things i want to achieve while i am here, is show a contact phone number, maybe as a link label and the mobile dials the number straight away when the link is clicked.
    Similar functionality needed with a post code / zip code link label, that links directly to google maps.

    Any useful tips/links on the above would be much appreciated

    thanks

    Hi,
    never tried a scroll wheel - I would have assumed it just worked.

    To place a phone call try

    Imports Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Telephony
    .....

    Dim phone As New Phone
    phone.Talk("+1234567890", True)


    For google maps, use KML, although I think KML would need lat/long to function perfectly. Write out a KML file with the zip/post code as the 'name' and then launch it.

    So if your KML file is 'location.kml' then

    Process.Start("location.kml,"")

    This obviously depends on Google Maps being installed on the device, but you can always check if the file extenstion KML is registered to check it.
