Default Hiding Systemmessage "Incoming Call"


Hi
Is it possible to hide the system Message of an incoming call ?

I've made an form which shows information on the calling user but the
system message covers a big part of this form

Thanks in Advance
Boas

Well, there are two answers. Officially, the answer is no. Us third
party developers aren't allowed this kind of access to the phone
application. Microsoft didn't want us to make their application look
bad, so they hard-coded a lot of such details into the phone stack.

Then there's the hack answer. If you're willing to dig in and write C++
code to subclass window procs, you can probably find the right window to
subclass and trap it's messages. My friend Dave Edson figured out how to
do this for our phone dialer and it wasn't pretty.
