Hello, Ron.

I think what you are after is out there and ready for you to use. It is
called PocketPyGUI (or ppygui) and is a newer implementation than previous
attempts at porting tkinter to Windows Mobile / WinCE (maybe that wasn't
worded quite right - it's a package that allows easy Python access to the
system's standard controls). If you are after a simple way to implement the
standard system buttons, check boxes and other controls using Python code
then PocketPyGUI is perfect. Get it from sourceforge (ppygui.sourceforge.net).
I have used it with WM5, but hopefully it also works smoothly with WM2003.

Hope you get your app working, and come back to the list if you have any
questions.

Adam
