I have a Pocket PC application created with VB.net 2003. In the emulator
when testing the application, I can select text in a text box, copy it with
a ctrl-v and paste it into another text box with a ctrl-v using the soft
Input Panel.

However, when I install the application on my Pocket PC running Windows CE
4.20, I can not copy and paste with this method--but if I use one of the
applications that comes with the device, the copy paste using ctrl-c and
ctrl-v work fine.

One other question: How do you set the tab order of the text boxes on a
form? I see no property for this.
 
Tab order is defined by the order in which the controls are added to the
form - you can tweak this by editing the order of code in the
InitializeComponent method (in reverse order). Or if you have the Smartphone
2003 SDK installed you'll have an option on the View menu of Smartphone Tab
Order which can be used to automate this process.

William,

I've been looking to do something very similar - and I
cannot seem to find an easy way to do it. Look forward to
someone posting the answer.
I have a really cluggy way of doing this - but there HAS
to be a better way.
 
Thanks for the tab information. Changing the order in which the controls
were added to the form fixed the tab order problem.

Now, any ideas on why ctrl-c & ctrl-v work for the preinstalled programs but
not for my application?
