windows mobile 5.0 menu issue

[DougMcKenzie]

So, I'm porting an application that I wrote in CE 4.2 to a WM 5.0
device, and the menus are giving me headaches, rather than bang my head
against the wall, I figured I'd see if anyone on here has any ideas.
My menus are all controlled in a base form, which creates them on load
( a little weird, I know, it is just part of the app) I create one main
menu, and then add the menu items. I realize that with Mobile you have
to have more than two top level items or else it won't look like the
old menus(a workaround to that would be good too, but that is minor).
My problem is that the menu will load once, then when I go to the next
screen, it will show the blue bar with the keyboard icon where my menu
was, as I move through the application it seems random whether I get
this blue bar, the actual menu, or nothing at all...I was just
wondering if anyone had any suggestions?

Alright, got most of that fixed, problem was with my porting of some of
the code on the disappearing, but it appears when the cursor is in a
text box, this keyboard bar pops up? how do i get rid of that?

It was some code involved with the barcoding scanning that was throwing
it off, problem fixed. I love these forums, I usually get a thread
going with myself, then resolve my own issue

Good to hear, Doug, and what's more, others can learn from your discussion
with yourself. ;-)
