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.

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?"

Why do you think you need *any* library? Why not use the built-in controls
in the framework?

Known problems with built in controls.
1.) they are far too slow (for large amounts for data). In fact
Microsoft developed their own Pocket Outlook controls for list
rendering, because standard list control was too slow!
2.) basic controls do not offer the convenience modern applications
need. That's why companies develop and sell professional gui libraries
(which i am looking for by the way)
So do you know of any professional gui libraries for Windows Mobile 5
or 6. I know of resco and they are good but there are better ones for
sure.
Please let me know if you any gui libraries
BTW: Custom built controls is not an option
