From: Martin M on 26 Mar 2010 13:53 Hello, I am building an application to be used with touch screen, so there is no keyboard to press a tab key or enter key. For this I would like to ask if there is a way to suppress the dotted lines on a button when it gets or got pressed. I tried to move the focus to another object in the event handler routine but that is not very satisfying. Any other ways? Also I see from time to time the mouse pointer after a touch tapping. Can this be switched off somehow? Thank you for any help Martin

It seems like, if you're using a USB mouse, you might not need keyboard support in the OS at all and it's just possible that this would turn off the focus rectangle. Paul T.

When I make the buttons small so that they are just a bit larger in height than the text the lines go into the text. > What sort of mouse are you using? I don't want to use any mouse at all just the touch panel. I will try to take out support for keyboard and maybe mouse and see what happens. Martin
From: Paul G. Tobey [eMVP] paultobey _at_ earthlink _dot_ on 30 Mar 2010 11:11 GWES is the windowing system that can be made part of CE by the device OEM. That is, it handles dispatching messages to windows, handling input and dispatching that, drawing, etc., etc. It's not an item that the typical Platform Builder user gets in source form. That's the best suggestion I can make, other than the design one of "don't make the buttons just barely big enough for the text". That's a general recommendation anyway, as *any* internationalization of the application is sure to make the text bigger. Paul T.
