I have found two commercial components: Codejock. Component Source. Here the images. I have been looking at Dock...
Hey All: I'm currently getting my feet wet with Win CE 5.0 to update some code on an existing platform. We're interested in deploying a custom shell/home screen/application launcher as well and I had a couple questions: 1) We're running the standard CE shell and I'm assuming it can be customized because the source code is made availabl...
Hi all, I'm currently in the process of writing a Windows MFC app to quickly search our corporate DMS.

However, the text di...
I dock the taskbar to the left, which causes many windows to open underneath the taskbar. None of the System.Windows.Form.FormStartPosition values take into account the taskbar except for Manual.

I don't really know where to begin. Let's start with the stupid questions: What language should I use for this? What is suited for the task at hand? Next, the real ones: Is there a way to stop the screensaver from starting, short of changing the cursor position? If not, will changing the cursor position even work? ...
It's very easy to force a taskbar icon to display a balloon tooltip: all I need to do is set the NIF_INFO flag when calling Shell_NotifyIcon( NIM_MODIFY, ... ), and the balloon appears, no problem. Now, I want to be able to hide the balloon when I no longer need it, as well, but I can't find a way to do that. I tried clearing the NIF_IN...

When an application's main Form - the one passed to Application.Run() - has this.ShowInTaskBar = false; then, an instance of Process representing that application has a MainWindowHandle of 0, meaning that Process.CloseMainWindow() does not work.
