floating window on Pocket PC screen

[JamesWPierce]

Hi,

I would like to create an application that will show a floating window
(not full screen) that is owned by a background process (or another
minimised app) and is not part of any forground apllication.

The floating window will basically be a custom control.

Any ideas on how to implement this?

Hi,

Create a new class inherits from Form with the following attributes:
ControlBox = false;
FormBorderStyle = None;
TopMost = false;
MinimiseBox = false;
WindowState = Normal;

Set the Size and the Location of your new Form where you want, then
call ShowDialog in your Background process.

This is not an easy task and something that has been attempted many times. It
is also against MS guidelines, so if you want to certify your app it might
fail with Microsoft.
