There's a lot of drawbacks in VBCE that may limit its usability to simple applications, losing the RAD (rapid application development) features that we're used to with regular VB.

In this area, we'll try to gather you some clues on how to overcome these limitations and extend VBCE beyond its intrinsic capabilities with advanced functionalities that would otherwise need other programming languages live VCCE (C++ for Windows CE).

There's, of course, no warranty whatsoever as to the suitability of these suggestions on a production environment. However, we'll make all efforts to test them in a wide range of devices.

We welcome all your suggestions and contributions.
