hi guys (& girls),
I'm new to programming in .net and I just want to use the textboxex class
(from OpenNETCF.Windows.Forms as a normal text box and if possible be able to
place it in my toolbox to use like a normal text box.
I'm using vb.net to program.

I've downloaded both the source and the Library but have no idea how to use
them properly. Can someone point me in the right direction?
 
When you install the Smart Device Framework it should add the custom
controls to your toolbox. Then you can just drag them to your form as you
would with a standard TextBox control. If this is not happening can you
explain more about your scenario - what version of the SDF you have, do you
see any Toolbox/Menu plugins etc

I have SDF v1.3 and currently I don't have any Toolbox items aside from the
normal ones.

When i go into the toolbox Add/Remove Items I can browse to the SDF dll but
it gives me an error about not enough information.

Currently I only want the toolboxex class for my vb.net project - is there a
way to add it to the project OR onto my toolbox?

Is there anything else you need to know?
 
You should be able to manually add the toolbox items. When you browse for
the file, ensure you go to the Designer subdirectory where you'll find
something like OpenNETCF.CF.Windows.Forms.dll, this is the design time
assembly and has additional attributes and code for designing the runtime
controls.
