Suppressing OS Messages in Windows Mobile 6

Question

I'm currently working on a C# app targeted for Windows Mobile 6 devices that will run in kiosk (being well aware that WinMob 6 isn't the greatest platform for kiosk apps). I can move the taskbar off of the screen, but in certain conditions, the operating system will show a message/status box (for example, when ActiveSync starts up, it shows a dialog with the status of the connection process). Is anyone aware of a way (either via code or registry settings) to suppress these sorts of messages?

Thanks.

Answer 1

If your project has the budget consider looking at Spb Kiosk Engine

Answer 2

You can periodically check when those message boxes appear and close/destroy them using WM_CLOSE/DestroyWindow respectively.

Besides you can try SureLock Studio which handles these messages and many other situations to simulate kiosk mode.
