OK, first off, sorry if this is in the wrong place.

Secondly, I am just getting started, so I may be making an obvious mistake.

So, I have an 8125, and I installed Compact Framework 2.0 on it. I have VS.NET 2005, with the SDK for Windows Mobile 5.0 Smart phone installed.

Now, the simple question. I have a new project created in VB.NET, and I want to start adding controls to the main form. I added a label, then a textbox, now I want an "Accept" button. NO BUTTON CONTROL?????

Am I missing something here?

You probably started on wrong template. Smartphone apps usually don't have buttons because it does not have touch screens. Make sure your project is based on Windows Mobile Pocket PC not Smartphone. And 'Accept' button is best implemented as soft button (left or right).
