I’m trying to replicate the input box shown in the image on windows mobile 5+

Android textbox

but i’m struggling for ideas!

So far the only things I have come up with (I haven’t managed to make either work) were to either;

  • inherit TextBox and paint the textbox
    background manually by overriding
    OnPaint/OnPaintBackground
  • make the textbox background
    transparent and position the
    textbox over an image that looked
    like the one in the screen shot

Has anybody done this or know of how this could be acheived?

Thanks in advance

    I gave up on this as I have moved away from windows mobile but found that it wasn’t possible, due to restrictions in the compact framework, to do this with the existing textbox, you would need to create your own texbox control from scratch!
