Option Buttons

Send Feedback

On Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs, use option buttons only when they provide mutually exclusive choices and when there are only a few choices. When there are many choices, use list boxes instead to conserve screen space. For more information, see List Boxes.

The Windows Mobile-based Smartphone shell and interface do not support option buttons, but option buttons are supported in Internet Explorer Mobile. Option button functionality is handled with spin boxes. There is no backward compatibility for option buttons.

State Attributes

The following illustration shows the appearance for option buttons on a Windows Mobile-based Pocket PC device.

Label Attributes

Keep option button labels brief to conserve space.

For Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs, use the 8pt Tahoma black font and title capitalization. If the label text wraps to more than one line, the first line of label text should be vertically centered with the option button.
