about .net mobile control

[SuperRookies]

Hello again,
can some body tell me how to create a multiple line input box in .net mobile?
i can't find any control similar like (vb.net richtextbox) in asp.net mobile.

There isn't one. What you can do, though, is use the mobile textbox control and give it a height and width. This is a WML limitation

sorry for another noob question again ~.~"
how to increase the text box height~ i can't found any height adjustment on the properties. ?.? izit hard code on html or css?

[mendhak]

Oops, my mistake. I was thinking of something else. Right, the mobile textbox doesn't have height width properties either.

Have a look at using this custom control

I don't know if it'll work, judging by the comments, but it's worth a try.

Hey,

Are you targeting a specific browser on the mobile device? If so, it might appear that there is a work around here:

i.e. if it is Pocket IE.

Hey,

In which case, you have to take into consideration, that depending on the phone, and the browser that it uses, the actual displayed content of the various asp.net mobile controls will be different on each browser. That is because the browser may or may not be able to render the content in a particular way, so it will do it in a different way. The ASP.Net Calendar control is a good example of this.

WML is a better implemented standard (and small), though, so most phones renders it right.

Taking that into account and the other thread, you should stick to WML, a phone app is no good for you.

[SuperRookies]

OK..any good WML tutorial ? i think i have to understand how the WML works. thanks
