Stupid question on upgrading SDK version.

[vbMark]

I have CF 1.0.3111.0.

How do I update to the latest SDK? (which looks like 1.0.4292.0) I keep
finding Redistributables but not the SDK.

What am I missing?

Thanks.

There have been no API changes so you don't need any changes on your
development PC. The "new" functionality introduced in subsequent service
packs (.NETCF v1.0 SP3 is the latest) have simply implemented properties and
events which were defined but not used in previous releases. Therefore you
just need to ensure that you are running the latest service pack on your
target device(s).

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your reply.

Well, here's the issue that I'm having. I have Textboxes and Comboboxes
that change order throughout the life of the program. I need to change
the tab order so that the next, correct control gets the focus.

From my research it appears that the version that I'm using does not have
any control over tab stops. However, it seems that SP2 has fixed this
problem.

I would expect that I could do something like TexBox.TabStop = 5 which I
can't right now.

So I would expect that I would have to update my SDK. I'm sure that I am
just not understanding something correctly.

Right now I'm doing all my work on the Smartphone emulator. I can't seem
to get Activesync to talk to it so I don't even know how to get a service
pack onto the emulator to test.

Please enlighten me.

Thanks!
Mark

The smartphone SDK adds a tool to the View menu in Visual Studio which
allows you to re-order your tabs (its the reverse of the order the controls
are added to the form).

That doesn't help me for run-time tab control.

Also, how do I get the latest service pack on my Smartphone emulator?

TabStops weren't added, the SP simply made the control z-order the tab
order.

You can't, the runtime updates are not supplied for the Smartphone since
they must be added to the devices ROM by the OEM/Operator. You can use the
Smartphone 2003 Second Edition emulators which have .NETCF SP2 in their
image.
