I've heard some people talking about creating their own controls for the CF.
I haven't seen anything which allows this within VS.NET, however. Is there
some trick one could perform, such as exposing an Image (Bitmap) property,
to make something close to a custom control on the PocketPC?

Thanks,
Jon

You might want to take a look at this article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/customctrlscompactfx.asp.
It describes how to create custom controls and how to add them to the
designer.
