Re: Documentation on dropped features in WinMo?

To be clear, CE (not Windows Mobile, as that's simply a Platform on top of
CE) is a subset of Win32, so there's really nothing "dropped". Secondly,
there is a significant amount of Win32 "missing" so just trying to document
it would be pretty untenable, and how you could possibly organize such a
monstronisty and still have it useful I'm not sure. Lastly, CE is modular,
so there's no way to even say what's in any specific build of CE short of
the SDK itself. Just because CE as an OS supports something doesn't mean
that any given platform does.
CE has clear documentation on what it does contain. Each Platform SDK has
headers and libs that are even more definitive for a given platform. Your
best tools are that documentation, along with experience. It's a flexible
OS, and in that ability you lose the "benefits" and clarity of a rigid OS.

Hi,
I don't want to sound like whining, but a few days into the developement
of
WinMo app, I find the most frustrating thing is the lack of documentation
on
features that were supported in Win32 but dropped in WinMo. For example,
owner draw combo boxes and list boxes (hmmmm... not sure, but seems to be
so). I can't seem to find it but I believe there's got to be a document
telling me which features were dropped from Win32.
Can anyone help? Thanks.
