Development Considerations

Consider the following development conditions when you include check box controls in an application:

  • Including icons in a tree view helps users distinguish between different types of items such as files and folders.
  • In Microsoft Windows Mobile-based Smartphones, tree views do not display dotted lines or collapse or expand icons.
  • The control should automatically display as expanded, and auto scroll should be enabled.
