ShowDialog method, when user closes the dialog box my application become not

Why don't you want to use any P/Invoke? You don't need to use the whole of
the OpenNETCF code just for this function, just define the P/Invokes you
need:-
http://blog.opennetcf.org/pfoot/Perm...d-0950e9d16b10

[DllImport("coredll")]
private static extern IntPtr GetCapture();

[DllImport("coredll")]
private static extern bool SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hwnd);

Well...
I am developing a pure .NET CF application and do not want to write it being
platform depended...
and using this function fill require that the plantform my application
started on has coredll.dll module and SetForegroundWindow function.
another reason is that when I use the code
Caprure = true
GetCapture
Capture - false
SetForegroundWindow
it helps to activate and show my application window, but the screen still
flicks
(the desktop window or a window of some other active application is shown
before activating of my application window)
I do not know why it always happens, I know there is a BringToFron function
but it seems does nothing

Every WindowsCE system has coredll, and any Windows CE system which supports
Windows Forms will support GetCapture and SetForegroundWindow. The problem
with BringToFront is it doesn't work when your application goes behind a
window owned by another process. This code will work on any CE version which
supports .NETCF, if you want your code to work on the desktop too, then wrap
your calls to these P/Invoke functions with:-

if(System.Environment.OSVersion.Platform==PlatformID.WinCE)
{
}

Then they won't be called on the desktop.
