Mobile Apps - Is there an equivalent to the GroupBox in Windows CE

Asked By Do

Hi

I am trying to compile the line of code in visual studio 2005 for a windows
CE 6.0 target.

this.groupBox3 = new System.Windows.Forms.GroupBox();

The compiler keeps giving me the following error:

The type or namespace name 'GroupBox' does not exist in the namespace
'System.Windows.Forms' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Is there a way to get this functionality in CE?

I don't use C#, but:

The group box is definitely available for C/C++, so it should be
available for C#. Maybe you need to explicitly include the relevant
header (.h) file. The C/C++ compilers for CE include far fewer headers
automatically than do the compilers for "big" Windows.
