POHow to retain ControlBox UI feel when ControlBox is set to false in COmpact Framework (win mobile)
text
Body
copied!<p>My forms need to remove the 'x' - (the "smart minimize" - which in fact is not so smart) and the 'OK' button on a few forms. Unfortunately when I do that the little keyboard input icon moves from the middle to the right hand side and the lower bar turns grey instead of black.</p> <p>I would like to just be able to remove the minimize and OK controls (or just override their handlers) - but unfortunately I am unable to do that in CF. (what a mistake, MS!)</p> <p>Is there a way to put back some of the UI look and feel (like the black bar)?</p> <p>Like I said, Ideally we would like to either change the text "OK" to some other word or just overload the user initiated minimize (clicking the X or the ok). </p> <p>(I will try to put up some screen shots when I can to show what I am talking about)</p> <p>EDIT</p> <p>Note also that I have added two items to the main menu in the form initialization.</p> <pre><code> // create three menu items to go at bottom of form/on main menu // add new menu items to main menu // get rid of 'X' (smart minimize) and OK controls menuNext = new System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem(); ... mainMenu.MenuItems.Add(menuPrevious); mainMenu.MenuItems.Add(menuNext); mainMenu.MenuItems.Add(menuCancel); MinimizeBox = false; ControlBox = false; </code></pre> <p>NOTE I generate the forms and items programmatically - not with the form designer. This is a requirement since these forms are made on the fly based on configuration files at run time.</p>
