Hi, All
I need to program function keys on the unit keybord. Application should run
w/o any user interface. I selected Console temple for the app (I am using
VB.net CF 2.0, OS W CE 5.0). App is very simple all it does just printing the
screen.
By each time just before printing it starts with Cursor Hourglass then it
prints the screen including Cursor.Wait. My question how to get ride of this,
there is app doesn't recognize Cursor.Hide method.
please, help

You could try P/Invoking ShowCursor. Here's the C declaration:

int ShowCursor( BOOL bShow );

Set bShow to 0 to turn it off and to 1 to turn it back on when you're done.

The wait cursor is always shown when the .NETCF runtime starts up and you
cannot turn this off, so even though you have built a "silent" console
application you'll still get the wait cursor every time it loads.
