Text Boxes

Windows Mobile-based devices support single-line and multi-line text boxes.

Consider the following when you include text boxes in an application:

In general, a text edit buffer for the control is limited to 255 bytes, or it is dynamically allocated and is limited to the space left on the device. A buffer should be limited to 255 bytes for a text box containing an e-mail address, street address, phone number, or Inbox subject.
On Windows Mobile-based Smartphones, the control can create hyperlinks for telephone numbers, Web page addresses, and e-mail addresses.
When a user must enter text in a specific format, provide an example of the format and set the control to accept only data that is formatted correctly.

Label Attributes

Keep text box labels brief to conserve space. Use the 11pt, Nina regular font.
