Scrollable forms using Compact Framework 1.0?

Hi,

I am trying to make a Form scrollable using Compact Framework 1.0 -- Is it possible at all using any workarounds? (Form object, filled with a bunch of controls)

I know Compact Framework 2.0 includes this feature (AutoScroll property), but our project requires Compact Framework 1.0 to be used.

Thanks,
Mark Rejhon

If there is no way to do so, I could try putting two buttons at the top and bottom, and changing the X/Y position of the controls, to simulate scrolling. This would be very awkward. Is this the only way? Is there a better way?

Use a panel instead. The panel can be scrolled and you can drag all your controls to it.

I tried that, but I don't get access to the AutoScroll flag under Compact Framework -- only under regular .NET.

How do I make the scrollbars appear when I add more controls to the panel than the size of the panel itself? (i.e. contents of panel is larger than the PocketPC screen).

Not much properties are exposed in a Panel on Compact Framework, it just seems Panel seems to behave more like a non-scrollable container that's impossible to enable scrollbars on, according to my testing so far under Compact Framework 1.0. Same for ScrollableControl too.
