Hello NG,

I have a problem with my CF Application that is driving me nuts.

I use a main Form that can call some other forms (all of them with window
state maximized) with this code
Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor
If tpRentProd Is Nothing = False Then tpRentProd = Nothing
tpRentProd = New frmRentabilitaetProdukt
tpRentProd.Parent = Me
tpRentProd.Show()
Global.ActiveForm = tpRentProd
tpRentProd.BringToFront()
Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default


When I open a form like this over the main form and hit the X Button in the
right upper corner the application is still in memory (what is fine
according
to Certified for Windows Mobile) BUT I am not able to recall my Application
over the Application icon, i have to go to Settings - Memory - Running
Programms to activate it again ....
The same problem occurs if i open another programm ie Pocket Excel and want
to switch back to my app ... whenever there is a, i call it in this case a
sort of MDI Child open I am not able to switch back to the app the common
way.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Stefan

P/Invoking SetForegroundWindow usually does the trick:-
