From: Chris Tacke, MVP on 9 Jul 2008 18:28 Pocket Outlook is not a good example - it's not a managed app. They are also slow only if you're not using virtual data behind them. Once might argue that if you've got so much data in a control that it's slow then you've probably got a design problem, not a control problem. You say custom build controls are not an option, yet you're after something that isn't a built-in control. Seems to me those requirements are diametrically opposed. It's tough to point you to something that isn't a custom built control, yet isn't built in. What other option would there be? A very simply Google search came up with these, so I'm not sure why you're uanble to find anything. http://www.pocketpccontrols.com/ http://resco.net/ http://www.componentsource.com/relevance/index.html?q=compact+framework http://www.softwarefx.com/SFXNetProducts/PocketCfxNet/ And like paul said, if there's a specific *kind* of control you're after (button, grid, label, chart, whatever) it's a lot easier to find stuff than just some nebulous requirement for a "control." That's like me asking "Can anyone point me to good software?" -Chris "Hannes" <heckner(a)gmx.net> wrote in message news:6d60f1d4-65f0-4d57-b37a-1a7f75480003(a)k37g2000hsf.googlegroups.com...

From: Hannes on 11 Jul 2008 12:08 Point is that windows mobile offers only view convienient gui controls. So searching around for EACH control can be tedious. Of course i can search for a good list control (with automatic search), search for a good keyboard control and so on. But it could be a good idea for searching of a good control set to avoid working with too many different supplieres with differnt license models etc. Also it could have been that people have experience with professional gui libraries as I read you don't have (as you have had to search google first, so I assume you don't have any experience in using these controls). It would have been a great help to have some response on experience other developers have with professional libraries and about their recommendations ( as i stated in my first posting). Thanks anyways for you trying to help me. Best regards Hannes
