Overview

The controls included in this Basic4PPC library are for use on the device. The device library is ControlsExDevice and a corresponding desktop library, ControlExDeviceDummy is included. In fact all the controls will work on the desktop except Notification which is emulated with a message box. It requires .NET 2.0 or later to be installed. This library documents version 1.3 of this library.

The following controls are provided.

DateTimePicker control provides an enhanced means of selecting dates and times, compared to the native Basic4PPC Calendar control.

InputBox provides an easy way to get input from a user.
