Windows Mobile: Radio button not available in WM 6.0 Standard SDK using C#?

Question

I am developing a Windows Mobile application for Standard 6.0 SDK on C# language. I tried to add Radio button control in my application screen. But i am not finding any Radio button control in Tool box in this sdk? Doesn't it have? Is it possible to create using some other way?

Appreciate your help on this.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Radio buttons and buttons in general aren't included in the standard (smartphone) sdk. The reason for this is that use of these controls violates Microsoft's UI recommendations for smartphones. To overcome this issue you could create your own control that mimics radio button's behaviour. However, it will be better to consider an alternative. Radio buttons are hard to use in a thumb operated device.
