Borderless textbox for Pocket PC VB .NET app? 1

[EwS]

I'm developing a Pocket PC application in VB .NET. It doesn't seem that you can have a borderless textbox or change the background color of the command button. Am I missing something? - Thanks.

You can't even change the height of a textbox???

as for the second you use the multiline property

TextBox.Multiline = true

then you can change height

Im sorry i didnt notice the question about the button the first time i read this thread. If you haven solved it already:

button.backcolor = System.Drawing.Color.YourColorOfChoice

Do you know you can get all of the commands by pressing ctrl+space?
meaning... if you write button. and press ctrl+space you get all the events and propertys avalible for button

Thanks a lot for your help!
I didn't know about Ctrl+Space...
For some reason, setting the BackColor doesn't work (using other properties of the button, such as .Text, works though). That's weird...

I couldn't find any property that would make a textbox borderless - is there a way to do this?

Actually, setting the Multiline property to True for a text box in order to change its height is not a good idea because when I type and press Enter, the cursor moves to the "next line". But, you can set .Height programmatically (for some reason it works although you cannot change it in the Properties window - I get "Invalid property value").

Thats one thing Ive noticed about developing for the PPC. Some things are missing in the properties window, for example is the ListView.View property also missing in the properties window but availble by code.
