VGA screen won't run legacy apps? (iPAQ 4705)

There seems to be a problem running applications written for PPC 2002
on the new iPAQ 4705 with VGA screen. The toolbar buttons don't line
up with their hotspots for tapping. Is there a way to force the 4705
into compatibility mode? Or is there a way I can modify my 2002 app
so that toolbar buttons do line up? Or do I have to produce a
separate version of my app for this device?

You should be in "compatibility mode" unless your app explicitly is marked
as orientation/resolution aware. Please send me an email
(rlevy@microsoft.com) with a screenshot and we'll try to figure something
out.

Hi,

Do the buttons have images?

Yes, they comprise a standard toolbar using 16 x 16 pixel bitmap
images.

Hi,

Okay, I'm not sure if you're using the .NET CF or not.

But anyway, have you seen
"Why do the toolbar images seem to disappear from my application when
running Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition?"
in
http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/migration_developers_faq.asp

and this thread topic?:
VS 2003 Windows Mobile 2003 (2nd Ed.) tool bar buttons

I think they'll get you on the right track regardless though...

HTH and Please post your findings...

Thanks for the pointer. I will check it out and when I have resolved
the issue one way or the other I will post the results.
